I resigned instead of sacking my queen, taking the rook (Qxe7)
First you need to say the time control (60/0)
i was thinking in 19.Ce5 but Qe4 look very good because is the only piece peaceful. after 19.Re1 i think is necessary play Qf7 or Qf6 (ok now thinking is better Qf7 for the knight moves). Qd8 looks very rare because desconect your rooks and no have sense for me remote a defender.
and how you say Re8?? is a totally bad move Qd5+ don't look to much dangerous but your king is alone. All next is about tactic but probably you want to say is after Dd5+ all moves are computers moves (acording houdini 2).

I played Qd8, hoping that he wouldn't see Rxf3 followed by Qxh4, although I should have assumed that a 1800+ player wouldn't fall for my kinda cheap trick.
I was doing okay in this game until 19... Re8?? I thought about Nf6 first and intended to play it. It seems that it was one of the few good moves I had but I just wanted to exchange pieces. I had seen the check on d5 but in the meantime while I was analyzing I totally forgot about it. The position collapsed in 10 moves and my only choice was to sacrifice my queen in order to avoid mate.
