Incredible, one of my favourites. My oponent must have been kicking himself when I pointed out the mate he missed!

Exactly... a good tactical eye is ESSENTIAL at any level.. none of those mistakes are 'obvious' but they were the difference between winning and losing.
I ran part of this game through Crafty. 36. ... a5 37. Qa4 is fatal for black. 37. b6 lets black back into the game though white still has the advantage. After 38. Qc3 black has some pull. The game has swung by about 9 points in 2 moves without a piece being lost!
42. Rf1 is another fatal move allowing 42. Qg6, eyeing e4, b1, and perhaps b6. After 42. Qe2 the game is almost even.
43. ... Rg8 allows a mate in 8.

After 45. Qc7+ (a natural-enough looking move) White is dead lost. Black has a mate in 13. I'll spare you the pain of it, lolz.
An impressive and exciting game.
