Rd9 Molnar,L-Yip

After 35..e5(Diagram) I took control of the center but could not win the game as White had enough compensation for the pawn.

After 21..Rd7?(Diagram) I defended against what thought the main attacking idea was, Bh2,Qg3 with Qb8+ but it turns out I was totally overlooking something far more obvious.

After 21..Rd7

White played 22.d5! and had a crushing position which later cost me my queen for R+N.

Later in the game this position arose after 40.ab(Diagram) I needed a bit of luck and stubborness to get to this point and now found a resource.

After 40.ab

40..Rxd3+! won a pawn back and then I hung on to create a fortress.

Rd7 Yip,Gyurkovics,M

After 21.Nc3(Diagram) I thought that the Na4 was my worst piece and brought it back to challenge the strong central knight thinking that ..Nxf2 was a bluff.

After 21.Nc3

Sadly I had no tactical imagination and my opponent took 1 second to play 21..Nxg3! and I could have resigned but played on instead.
