I had a feeling a5 was your move, it's not a problem.

Write that with the "x", and I'll relax my OCD for details . . .

I'm a little rattled right now, let me do the driving then grt my composure.

So this is looking dicey now.

I'm a little rattled right now, let me do the driving then grt my composure.

So here are the main points of concern with this move/choice:

If I complete the pawn "trade" this move, my rook is not adequately defended, OB's Bishop can take my d pawn and I can't take it thie next move.

Other moves have adverse consequences as well. So I am going to do so etching else.

Edit made. Take your time, no rush.

My response is Bd8.

19. ... Rxh5

Your rook seems to be well-protected by your bishop, mine is en prise.

19. ... Rxh5
20. Nxd7 Nxd7
21. Bxd4

That looks good for me, perhaps.

I see the strength of your decision. Well, it looks like you will get your Queen. I thought you would not do this sacrifice, but this is something I did go over before. I just don't remember my solution, if I had one, right now. I will take a while on this.

I might have been mistaken thinking ihad a way past this.

Your comments about the King defense power was certainly demonstrated in my game with Siro. He sorta trapped his power in his approach to mate.

So I resigned this game once, then wanted to give it a try. I think your patience has paid off, I believe you have a gonclusive advantage now.

I needed that knight no matter what..

I play Rd8

I assume you mean Re8. This grid issue is awful.

So finally I pay the price for letting that pawn go on that lone adventure.

You play Rd8. I take, then the queen, but you have your knight and all those other proto-Queens.

I resign.

You should play some of the ushers. *ha ha, what that minipad does to my eyes and fingers. . . . *others.

Your rook seems to be well-protected by your bishop, mine is en prise.

21. Bxd4

That looks good for me, perhaps.

Hard for me to show you my concern using my mini pad. It's worse than that, it could be a mate result. So anyway, that's why I had to do what I did the last three moves.

My response is Ra6

To defend the c pawn . . . .

I was looking for your next move. It looks to me like the c pawn attack will now require a flanking pawn advance. . . .
