1. Rfe1 Rxe6??
(O MY GOD. I realized only too late that this move could seal my fate. The winning sequence is 1 .. Rg6+ 2. Kf1 (If 2. Kh1 then 2.. Qh3 3. Rg1 Qxf3 4. Rg2 Qxg2#) 2.. Qh3+ 3. Ke2 Re6+ 4. Kd6 Rxd6+ and white loses his queen)
2. Re8+??
(White does not see QxRe6! Now its a win for black)
2.. RxRe8 3. QxRd6 QxQd6 4.
And white resigned
