  Fusilli: No one is immunized against blunders... Abrupt end to an interesting game.

  keypusher: <Fusilli> Amen to that! But the blunder wasn't what I thought it was. After 30.Ne7+ Rxe7!

Here White has 31.Rxa6!! (SF), and if ...Rxa6 32.dxe7 and now ...Qxd1 allows mate in one, because Black no longer has a rook covering the back rank.

After 32....Qxe7 Black is up a piece, but 33.Qxb5 forks the knight and rook, leading to approximate equality. It's surprising that Black can't save the piece, but 33....Qa7 allows another back-rank mate: 34.Rd8+ Nxd8 35.Qe8#.
