[Ilya krasik]

White had just played Kg2? At this point i was down to 30 seconds on my clock, and my nerves were jumping, even more reason to be proud of my next move! Diagram

1...Bd4!!
Disconnecting the rooks, giving my king the g7 square and keeping all the threats. This is simply to much for white to deal with. [ 1...Rxe1?? 2.Rd8+ Qxd8 3.Rxd8# ]

2.Bh6+?
Almost any other move would have been better [ 2.Qg3 Rg7 3.Qxg7+ Kxg7 4.Bxd4+ ( 4.R2xd4 Qf8 5.Rxe7+[] Qxe7 6.Kxf1-/+ ) 4...Kf7 5.Bc5 Rf3 6.Bxe7 Rd3!-+ ; 2.R7xd4 Rxe1-+ ]

2...Ke8-+ 3.Qxf1 Rxf1?!(+)
Enough to win but stronger was [ 3...Qxd7! 4.Qe2 Rf3!-+ with unstoppable /\ Qh3, Qg4 ]

4.R2xd4 Rb1 5.Kf2 Rb2+
finally making time control

6.Bd2 Rxb3
White resigned *
