My losing move was 19. Nd5. Instead, 19. Rg5 rates as winning for me (computer gives 19. Rg5 Rc5 20. Nb3 Rxg5 21. Nxa5 Rxa5 and likes white with the queen for the knight and rook). I was about 50/50 between the two and chose the wrong one
I realized I was losing after 19...Qxa2 so went into panic mode which involves unsound attacks. Cadaz was unfazed and won by move 25.
If it's any comfort to me, he missed a mate-in-8 at the end. 25...Rc1 is winning, but something is is more winning if you want to find it (I saw it, but didn't realize it led to such a quick forced mate).
Well done to Cadaz, again, and congrats on escaping the bottom of the bracket.
