Where after, black would be unable to make any sensible moves.} Nf4 23.Kf2 $18 {(bas) 23.h5! and 24.h6 would have finished the game much quicker. I must have spent 20 minutes to play 23.Kf2, without considering this (simple) option doesn't matter what move you do your still winning [jb]} Nh7 24.Rxg7 {(bas) After playing 3 doubtful moves in succession, my considerable advantage had frittered away to +2, according to the engine. After another uncomfortable 20 minutes  working out a winnable continuation, I became confident that my material and positional advantage of Q=K versus R+2K would be enough. However, nothing was further from the truth. See later...Incidentally, 24.Rg4 would have been better than 24.Rxg7, however with a far more complicated position to deal with.} Kxg7 25.Rg1+ Kh8 26.Ke3 Rg8 27.Rg4 Rxg4 28.Qxg4 Rg8 $10 29.Qd7 Ng2+? {(bas) missing 29.Rg2!} 30.Kd3 Nxh4 31.Qxc7 Nxf3 32.Qxd6 Rg6 33.Qb8+ Kg7 34.d6 Nf8 35.Qxb6 Nd7 36.Qc7 Nf8 37.d7 Nxd7 38.Qxd7 Nd4 39.Nd5 Rg3+ 40.Ne3 Rg6 41.Nf5+ Nxf5 42.Qxf5 Rd6+ 43.Kc3 Re6 44.c5 Kf8 45.Kc4 Ke7 46.Kb5 a4 47.Kxa4 Ra6+ 48.Kb5 Rxa2 49.Qxe5+ Kf8 50.c6 Ra8 51.Qh8+ {(bas) A strange game: after a solid opening, resulting in a potentially deadly attack, I lost the 'plot', playing a sequence of terrible moves. Whereas, Caitlin found all the best, defensive moves, until she faltered at move 29. Probably because she played too fast, in view of my looming time-trouble. Bad luck, Caitlin. You played well, and deserved more..} {#r}
