I thought about castling here, but Bxc6 looks more forcing and easier to calculate. Interesting to analyze and get your thoughts later on when things calm down.

Almost went with Qc5. I think this is better.

So much for your attack withering. I don't see a way to avoid going down a piece relatively quickly, so I'll resign here.

My plan after 19. . . Nc4 was 20.Nxc4 (not possible with the Q on c5) dxc4 21.Qxc4 Qe8 22.Nd4 Qxe5+ 23.Kf1 and now the bishop should be lost.

A wild game. Thanks for playing.

My move is to move the threatened Rook forward one space.

R(c2)c3(edit.... did I misread the diagram when I wrote this?) or from the perspective in the above pic. . . R(e7)e6. sure you know what I mean anyway.

I looked at this as the second most likely move you'd make, the one I ranked first was the K move to protect the white pawn and force my Rook to move. . . . .I'll be back to respond after I meet some appointments this afternoon. . . .
