I didn't resign since I thought I would have some chances with my unopposed white squared bishop, which somehow proved to be correct in this game.} 20.Qb3 {Playing into my hand.} b5 {Now my bishop is getting really strong.} 21.c5 Bd5 22.Qc3 Qb7 23.Ba3 Rc8 24.Bb4 Bxg2 {Now I have the upper hand, according to my engine.} 25.Rf2 Bd5 26.a4 Bc4 27.axb5 axb5 28.Qa3 Qe4 {The kind of positions I lose routinely, having the extra exchange.} 29.Bc3 {The fatal mistake.} Bd5 30.Kf1 Bc4+ 31.Kg1 Bd5 {I thought about taking a draw in case my opponent repeats (as usual, I was in time trouble), but probably I would play on, since my opponent can't really do anything.} 32.Rf6 {Just silly.} (32.Kf1 Bh6 {was the move I intended to play, and it gets really sharp.} (32...Ra8 {is even stronger, and sharper. Not at all sure I would've won this. For example, if White tries to keep his extra material, he gets mated rather quickly, but that would've been very tricky to play out.} 33.Qb2 Qh1+ 34.Ke2 Bc4+ 35.Ke3 Bh6+ 36.Rf4 Rxa1 37.Qxa1 Qxh2 38.Qa8+ Kg7 39.Qf3 Bxf4+) 33.Re1 Qd3+ 34.Kg1 Ra8 {with decisive effect.}) 32...Qg2# 0-1
