1.e4 {[Good honest game between two of the tournaments previously unbeaten players... White pushes hard for a win and Black pariers his every  thrust.]} e5 {Comments by MT; just what I thought during the game, no real analysis, engine or otherwise.} 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.d3 d6 5.Ng5 {This is actually more annoying than I thought. Should rather play 4.Nf6 next time.} Be6 6.Nxe6 fxe6 7.O-O Qe7 8.Qg4 Nd4 9.Qd1 Nf6 10.a4 a6 11.c3 Nc6 12.Bg5 h6 13.Bxf6 Qxf6 14.Nd2 O-O-O?! {Walks into the attack. Way too optimistic!} 15.b4! {No hesitation! I think I was lucky to hold off this attack.} Ba7 16.b5 Nb8 17.Qb3 Rde8 18.a5 Bc5 19.bxa6 bxa6 20.Rab1 Kd7 21.Bxa6 Nxa6 22.Qb5+ Ke7 23.Qxa6 Ra8 24.Qb7 {maybe Qc6 was better} Rhc8 25.Nc4 Qf8 26.Qb5 Rcb8 27.Qa4 Rxb1 28.Rxb1 Bxf2+ 29.Kh1 Rb8 30.Rf1 Qe8 {No good discovered attack for the bishop. At this point I thought I had survived and it felt pretty equal.} 31.Qxe8+ Kxe8 32.g3 Bc5 33.Ra1 d5?! {just survived the attack, but now this drops a pawn unnecessarily.} 34.Nxe5 d4? {(TC: A second bad pawn push in a row I think. if cxd, Bxd, Nc6 is a win for White?)} 35.c4 Rb3 36.a6 Rb8 37.Ra5 Bb6 38.Ra2 Ra8 39.Kg2 Ke7 40.Ng6+ Kd7 41.Nf4 Ba7 42.Ng6 Rb8 43.Kf3 Rb3 44.Ke2 Rb8 45.h4 Bc5 46.h5 Kc6 47.Ne5+ Kd6 48.Ng6 Kc6 49.Ne5+ Kd6 50.Nf3 Kc6 {Black offers Draw but White soldiers on...} 51.g4 Ra8 52.g5 Kb6 53.gxh6 gxh6 54.Ne5 Bd6 55.Nf7 Bf8 56.Ne5 Bd6 57.Nf3 c5 58.Nh4 Rxa6 59.Rxa6+ Kxa6 60.Nf3 e5 61.Nh2 Bf8 62.Ng4 Bg7 63.Kd2 Kb6 64.Kc2 Kc6 65.Kb3 Kb6 66.Ka4 Ka6 67.Nh2 Bf8 68.Ng4 Bg7 {#d}
