Sorry for typos and errors.
Let me do the belated editing :-)

I misspoke. Actually, I had another option,
pushing my pawn to f4, in my mind too.
It wousave my pawn but my position
would be still passive.

Make it "about counterpunches" (I merged
two different sentence constructions, hence
this sloppy effect).

Make it "protecting" :-)

"nothing"

OK, enough of that editing (I am sure there
is a lot more to correct--it is an unbouded
project)

Strategy requires more consistency for longer
sequences of moves. In this particular game I had
the sinking feeling that my position is dangerously
deteriorating, that I might have a passive,
doomed position. Thus I was eyeing that
white knight and considering a sac for
a few moves earlier, before it has happened.
I was afraid of being checkmated myself
but my attempt at relief: h6, was
most likely counter-productive. The
mating threat was still present due to the
white queen later attacking h7, while white
knight gained tactical shots. When I moved my
pawn to f5 I knew what I was going to do,
that I am going to sac exchange, Otherwise
my pawn f5 would be lost. I counted on
my centralised knight, on that pawn f5,
and of course on the (sudden :-) vulnerability
of the white king. If white didn't attempt
to chase my rook from the center then I hoped
to have a playable position (possibly I would
sac at a proper moment anyway).
Overall, I played, until the sac, half-sloppy
and half-ignorant chess while my opponent
had a soft, nice positional touch while he
was a bit too soft tactically--he was thinking
always along the passive defenses and not
for counterpunches. Sometimes he was still
finding difficult moves but a bit more of
aggression would do his game some good.
1. c4 e5 2. d3 Bb4+ 3. Bd2 Bxd2+
4. Qxd2 Nf6 5. Nc3 d5 6. cxd5 Nxd5
7. g3 Be6 8. Bg2 c6
This was possibly the first time in my long
but undistinguished chess life that I have
played the reversed Sycilian. My last move
takes away c6 square from the knight on b8
and feels slow but otherwise seems to be solid.
Perhaps it is already an inferior move. After
my knight goes to d7 there is a problem of
coordinating my pieces because f6 square
would like to be occupied both by my pawn
and by my knight on knight on d7, alas to
do both is illegal.
9. Nf3 f6
I had decided on the traditional pawn to f6,
protekting my strong white-square bishop
against any attack by black knight from g5.
10. O-O Nd7 11. Ne4 O-O 12. b3
I wouldn't think about castling long.
It'd take too long and white would
attack me forcefully first. Last white's
move protects pawn a2 against my
bishop. I think that 12.a3 would be
better.
12. ... N7b6 13. Rad1 Qd7? 14. d4
Ouch! I gave white a chance to play
14.Nc5, and my crucial Bishop would
get exchange for the knight. Somehow
white was following his own plan,
without paying attention to my move.
Possibly he was right, I don't know.
White has an advantage either way.
14. d4 exd4 15. Qxd4 Bh3
16. Nc5 Qc8 17. e3?
White should not be afraid to win
my pawn b7 by playing 17.Bxh3
17...Bxg2 18. Kxg2 Rd8 19. Qe4
Is white too much of a pussy cat?
(I don't know).
19...Re8 20. Qd4 Re7 21. Rd2 Nd7
22. Rfd1 Nxc5 23. Qxc5 Re8
Was 23...Qe3 better. Going back and
forth with my rook doesn't look good.
In the meantime white has doubled
his rooks on the open file d, which must
be a significant advantage.
24. Qc4 Kh8 25. Re1?
White is reacting defensively to
a possible tactical shot: 25...Rxe3
26.fxe3 Nxe3+ winning white queen.
But white had noting immediate to
be afraid of: 25.Rx3 Rxd5! and white wins
a knight for a pawn, with a good position.
And first of all, white should not give up on
his doubled rooks. It was more than
sufficient to play 25.Kg1. Now white pieces
are poorly coordinated and possibly
somewhat vulnerable.
25... h6?
Nonsense. Now I have nothing but holes
around my king.
26.Nh4!
White takes advantage of my last move.
(However now his R on e1 is unprotected,
hence his pawn e3 is pinned.
26... f5!?
I was planning on this one, and I was
expecting the white's response:
27.Qd3
Perhaps not a good move. It
looks like I lost my f5 pawn--
both 27...Rf8 and 27...Re5
lose exchange.
27... Re4!
I hope that it is indeed "!".
I considered another option too:
27... f4 would safe pawn f, and the whole
play would give me a slight relief.
But I preferred the active play.
I had enough of suffering already :-)
28.f3?!
I counted on this move. But what else
is white to do? Most likely I have
managed to equalize(?). Perhaps
28.Ng6+ was good or the best for white.
Then after say 28... Kh2 29.f3
white would have a better position than
the one in the game.
29. gxh4 Qe6 30. Kf2 Re8 31. Qd4 f4
Now black has fun! If 32.e4?! then
32... Qh3! would give black a won
position (but 33...Ne3? would be met
with 34.Rxe3).
The black f pawn, soon to become e-pawn,
will ch on!
32. Rd3 Qh3 33. Rh1 fxe3+
34. Ke1 Qg2 35. Rf1 e2 36. Rg1
First white had found the interesting,
possibly the relaively best reply 32.Rd3
(even if it looks passive, in the white's
style). Now, after 36.Rg1 it looks like
black is lost. TWhite made a mate threat
on g7. However:
36... Nf4
shows how active is black's position.
Black is still winning after all.
37.Rd2
White finds a solid defense, while keeping
his threats. The situation is interesting,
a bit like in a chess problem: the white
queen, in order to keep the threats against
the black queen and king has to stay
on two diagonals at the same time. But
two diagonals intersect at one point
only. After my next move white queen
is not able to keep its post:
37... c5! 38.Qxc5
White Queen can't stay on the main
diagonal (to attack g7) because it has
to protect itself and the rook on g1.
Beside the 38th move played by white
the only other sensible attempt would
be 38.Qf2. But then 38... Qxf2 39.Kxf2
and 39... Nh3+ wins for black.
Now black queen is not pinned anymore
and it escapes, causing some further harm
to white on its way:
38... Qxf3 39. Qb5 Ng2+
40. Rxg2 Qf1# 0-1
(In my next game at Kurnik, my
next opponent did to me a similar
"sharp turn" and I lost a promising
game. But my game, presented
here, was prettier :-)

After being "wlod" and "obcy" on ICC
(both for a long time), I was there also
a "ColdBlood" for a couple of weeks (or
just one). I had some other
creative (:-) nicknames on ICC too,
in order to enjoy their 1-week free
memberships.

Better is Rd4. Shredder doesn't like much Kg1 (even if Re1 is slightly
worse).

Unfortunate indeed. Better is Qf5

26. Rd1 is better

The best move possible, according to shredder (and me...)

No, Shredder thinks it's not good (evaluation drops by 1.3)

Yes, that was the move to make
Nothing to say until move 32.

No. The good line is
32. e4 Qh3 33. Rg1 Qxh2+ 34. Ke1 Qxh4+ 35. Kd1 Nf6
which gives still an advantage to white (+2). Thus, the position is
certainly not won for black after Qh3, even if a longer analysis shows that
white's advantage is not that big according to me. In fact, it is the most
interesting position to analyze, and the game might end in a draw..
Now with Rd3, evaluation drops to -0.84
>33. Rh1
That's the disaster Evaluation drop to -9.83. Good line was
33. Kg1 Qxh4 34. Re2 Nxe3 (-1) But this position is very difficult for white
anyway
>35. .. e2
Mistake. Evaluation drops to -2.8 Mate is unavoidable according to me with:
35... Nb4 36. Rc3 Qb2 37. Rc4 (37. f4 Nc2+ 38. Rxc2 Qxd4 39. Ke2 Qe4 40.
Rfc1 Qxf4 41. Rf1 Qxh2+ 42. Kf3 e2 43. Re1 Rf8+ 44. Ke4 Qd6 45. Rd2 Qxd2 46.
Rg1 Rf1 47. Rg2 e1=Q+ 48. Re2 Qexe2#) 37... e2 38. Qe5 (38. Qxb2 Nd3+ 39.
Kd2 exf1=Q 40. Kc3 Nxb2 41. Kxb2 Qf2+ 42. Ka3 Re2 43. Kb4 Rxa2 44. Rxc6 bxc6
45. Kc4 Qd2 46. b4 Qe3 47. b5 Ra4#) 38... Nd3#)
> 37.Rd2
> White finds a solid defense, while keeping
> his threats.
Just the contrary. Rd2 is not good (evaluation goes back to -12) Good line
(with little chances however) was
37. Rxg2 Nxg2+ 38. Kf2 c5 39. Qc4 b5 40. Qc3 e1=Q+ 41. Kxg2 Re2+ (-3)
39 Qc5b5 is the shortest road to hell, but any other move ens in a mate (39
Rd2 d5 in 10 moves and Rd2 d6 in 15)

Yes, a very nice combination by black who is apparently good at tactics but
not so good at strategy.
BTW "zimna krew" was really a cold blooded creature here ;-)
