(This sacrifice cannot be accepted, and it begins to break the walls down that guard the white king) 23 Ke2 cd 24 Bd4 b5! (Short on time, black embarks on a bold and agressive DOUBLE pawn sacrifice!  This serves to lessen the pressure that white was building, and increase the pressure on white's own defenses around his king) 25 Bb5 e5! 26 Be5 Be5 27 Ne5 Qh5 28 Ndf3 f4 29 b4 Kh8 30 Bd7 Bf3 (Making time control, and allowing me to have the time I need to find the amazing resource on move 31, that ends the game quickly. Without this move, white may even be winning himself) 31 Nf3 Qg6!! (Curtains. White has no defense to the myriad of threats that black now poses) 32 Qd5 Rc2 33 Rd2 Qg2 34 Kd1 Rd2 35 Qd2 Qf3 36 Kc2 fe 0-1 (Notes by Newton)
