10.. Re8 is Hickl (2540) - Weischede (2275), 1-0 in 41 (1998). 11.Rfe1

If I have to trade bishop for knight, I hoped I could get something going on the f-file in the process. 13.Nd4

The only move White has to defend. 18...Nxc5

Here I couldn't decide if I should recapture with the a-pawn or with the knight. I figured a minority attack was coming, but I didn't know which capture was best to meet that. In the end, I just decided not to weaken my pawns. 22...Nxb6

Doubling rooks seemed automatic. 25.e4

26.f4
Now I was starting to feel squeezed. 26...dxe4
Figuring that if White recaptures with the bishop, I'd have a great square for the knight at d5. 27.dxe4
And if he recaptures with the pawn, I'd grab the d-file. 27...Rd8
Fritz points out 27.. e5! is best. 28.a4!
Wow! I think I have 20 minutes left for the game while White has 40. I couldn't resist my follow-up, though I didn't really have enough time to check things out. 28.. a6 is safer than the text. 28...Rd3

Now I used up nearly all of my remaining time on this position. Very uneconomical considering I think my move is forced. 37...Ra8

h5??
White has a convincing reply, but Black was busted either way at this point. 40.e5#
1-0
