After having to move my f pawn, I thought perhaps it would be better to castle queenside. I did anticipate that White might choose this moment to finally trade queens, which would ruin my castling plans, but I figured on being able to "castle manually" after Kxd7. } (11... Qxd1 12.

I had seen this fork after my last move, but I would have had to first distract the f6 rook; I might have moved one of my rooks to f8, or perhaps I could have advanced the g pawn in hopes of trading my knight for White's f6 rook. However, 22. f4 blocked the rook and made the fork possible immediately. } 0-1
