Not much to play out after the last two moves. Super interesting game until the blunder though, great job both!

This round could be bad for me with WCOOP starting Sunday and away in Tuscany for a few days from next Sunday. Hopefully I don't mess up too badly

I don't think diagrams are needed for such an early stage of the game. On the other hand, I am not going to stop you from posting them

I stand corrected. Looked at it with an engine. I had thought that:

33. d5 fxg4??
34. Qxf7+! Kxf7
35. dxe6+! and then 36. Rxd8 can't be stopped, and white would be up a clean rook.

However I missed that 35. ... Ke7!! keeps it really interesting (though still favoring white, and stronger than the continuation played on lichess).

wait, wat?

I mean white has a R & B & 2P for R & 4P endgame - right?

That's not a gimme, imo

:shrug: maybe it is a routine win - I didn't look at the r+b+2P v r+4P position after seeing that was probably the expected line

but given that you both had blundered so far, over the board maybe it's worth playing on for black
