I miss a discovered double attack on the White Queen and Knight. I continue to miss it on my next two moves. [8...d4!

I saw that I couldn't take the pawn because my dark-square Bishop was protecting my Knight. I thought I had to choose between my Bishop and Knight. I kept my Knight because it was more active than my Bishop. [25...Bxc5

Fritz shows how I can take the pawn after first giving check to the White King. Ah, I should have seen this.]

I was satisfied with my use of clock time these last few moves. I methodically rearranged my pieces to more advantages positions and let White make one bad exchange after another.

Now the endgame begins. My Queenside pawn majority is looking like an advantage. I've got to get those pawns rolling and bring my King into the game.

Fritz says I missed a mate in 28 here. How could I overlook that? At least I didn't walk right into a pin of my King and Rook. [51...Rh3??
