Rxd2 18.Rxe8+ Bf8 19.Bf4? [19.Be5! Fritz4 found this; the queen is short on squares to run to, and thus White gains his material back and more. 19...Qg5 (19...Qe7 20.Rxe7 +-) 20.Bf4 Qf6 21.Bxd2+-] 19...Rxb2 20.Bh6 Nd7 21.Rd1 Bd3 perhaps Wayne had missed this move back when deciding which path to choose; the f-file has opened up threatening Qxf2. 22.Be3 Qxc3 0-1
