  Sally Simpson: I was fond of playing Qe2 v the Pirc/Robatsch. Interesting piece for a few pawns sac on move 24

White played 24.Nxd5. If in that frame of mind then 24.Bxb5 also has it's moments.

Looks like White was in T.T. at the end.

37.Rg4 had to be played. It also sets up a perpetual. But 37...h5 38.Rg3 Raa2 is pretty grim. Black will have a discovered check that looks like it could do more damage than Whites discovered check. But it is not a checkmate.
