  tpstar: <e4Newman> Thanks a lot, yet this was a swindle. The opening went fine, then I should have traded 17. bc dc before capturing on b5. The original intent was 22. Nd6 expecting 22 ... Nxd6 23. exd6 Bxd6 24. 0-0 and the Pb4 is indirectly protected (24 ... Bxb4?? 25. Rb1). But too late I noticed 22 ... Bxd6 23. exd6 Re8 winning the exchange (24. 0-0?! Ng3) so I was stuck with 22. Bxe4 first, ending up with BOOC and I couldn't castle (25. 0-0? Bb5). After 24 ... Qd5 I considered resigning; Black merely doubles on the c file, gets the Rook to c2 and White is dead. So I set up a dark square blockade (25. Bc3 & 26. Qd2) waiting for it, but he played 26 ... Bd3 & 27 ... Qxd6 and asked, "Draw?" And I grabbed his hand in record time. ;>D
