I looked at 15...h4!, but overlooked the follow through 16...h3} 16.Nd1? {32 (clock). After 16 moves and only just out of the opening, white has only 30 minutes left on her clock to handle the complications of the actual game. Remarkably, with a pawn down, a pretty bad position, and a lack of time, Cassandra played pretty good in quick mode from here on, until she suddenly blundered big time in time trouble.Time management seems to be the main problem...} Nxd5 17.Bxg7 Kxg7 18.h3 Ngf6 19.Qb2 Nf4 20.Bc2 Bb7 21.Nc3 b4 22.Nce2 Nxe2+ 23.Rxe2 Kg8 24.Rbe1 Nd7 25.f4? {BvR. Trying to prevent the powerful 25...Ne5, but missing the loss of a second pawn.} Qh4 26.Nf1 Qxf4 27.Rf2 Qe5 28.Qc1 d5! 29.Qh6 {BvR better was Nd2} Re6 {(?) allowing white to play 30.exd5, Qxd5 without the loss of the e-pawn} 30.Ne3 dxe4 31.Ref1 Rf6 32.Nc4 Qd4 33.Ne3 Rxf2 34.Rxf2 Re8 35.Qf4 Ne5 36.Qf6?? {BvR. After the game, we (and Rauri) analysed the possibility of 36.Nc4, which I had expected. In response, I had 36...Bd5 in mind. It could have been messy after 37.Nd6. Rauri suggested 36...e3! 37.Qxe3 instead. We all rejected this line, so late in the evening. However, the winning 37...Nf3! would have clinched it after all for black. That is, if I had found it OTB..!} Qxe3 {#R} 0-1
