Yip-Tordas Board 3

I contributed an unnecessarily dramatic win after trying a new line against the King’s Indian.

I had no real idea of what I was doing but eventually acquired a good knight vs bad bishop position and a dominating position.

Yip-Tordas after 36..Rxf5

I played the safe 37.f3 instead of the much stronger 37.Rd7! and won a chaotic game after losing control.

The drama happened late in the game with Black down to his last few seconds. After 55..Rf8(diagram)

After 55..Rf8

I was checking 57.Qe4 offering a queen trade but the endgame advantage seemed too small and I searched for something better and came up with  56.Rc2?? winning a tempo by hitting the queen first. My plan was Rc5 to tie Black to the weak b-pawn. Better was something normal like 56.Rd2 just keeping the extra P.

Black quickly replied 56..Rxf3! and White is lost but did not realize it. Then came quickly 57.Qd8+ Rf8(diagram)

After 57..Rf8+

Playing instantly 58.Qxf8+?? Bxf8 59.Rxc6 1-0

But it was not until I reconstructed the game at home that I realized that 58.Qxf8+?? is an illegal move which neither of us realized in the scramble and White should have lost as having touched my queen I would have to give her away and the game with it.
