This was in the Rapid section. BTW this was played 3 days ago.
White had gone for the b-pawn, with 14. Qb3xb7. Oo-er missus!!
The capture of the ♙b7 precipitates a most egregious material distribution.
16.Bxf6 Rc7 17.Qxc7 Qxc7 18.Bxe7 Qxe7 19.e4 dxe4 20.Bxe4.

However, the game really starts when the material share had settled down.
After 35. ♗x♖e2.

♘♘♗ v ♕.

White makes great use of his king very actively, and the pair of knights give constant cover from checks from the queen. The trouble is that Black is very clever at picking up pawns white pawns constantly.

The penultimate KO gives at the end.

64...Qxc4!
Even after this socko, White, quite rightly in a rapid game, did not give up hope.

A few moves later Black did his third or second or something queen sacrifice - I can't remember.

75....Qxg5! That puts the King in front of the g-pawn-+. <Ethay ingkay oesgay inyay ontfray ofyay ethay eeg-awnpay.>

His anti-slip machine FAILED: 0-1.
