The crowd wanted 19 ... Na2+ and this seemed to be a good move, it resulted in a
strong attack.

Somewhere back in here white could have won a pawn easily. My program's
decision to turn an isolated pawn into hanging pawns led to an ending where it
had two isolated pawns and passive pieces.

45. Rh8+ won I think. It clearly leads to a R+P ending a pawn up, with another
one falling and no counterplay for black. It is perhaps a little hard to see,
since no spectators mentioned it during the game.
I question the decision to play for more than a draw, it was a gutsy decision
and apparently the correct decision but there wasn't much time left on the
clock.

In the final position white is mated in a few moves.
A ratty couple of games from my point of view, in front of about 170 people.
Thanks to GM Wilder for playing and ICC for inviting me to participate.
