{At this point white has 2 minutes and 50 seconds left, black has 14 minutes 
left.  A draw was agreed to.  Interestingly Fritz gives it a plus for white 
in the four main variations.  A plus 1.16 after Kg3.  Guess we'll never know.}

 {Maybe this is not the best move, but it is in the spirit of the BDG. 
The Fritz 4 engine looks  alternatively at Bc4, Qe3, Qg2, and Qe2.  
It gives black a slight plus in all of those variations, but less then 
a  .5 pawn advantage. (This is only a quick look by Fritz, not a complete 
analysis.)} 
Rxf6 21.h5 Raf8 22.hxg6 hxg6?!   
{This yields any advantage black had according to a brief analysis by 
Fritz.  The position, according to Fritz, is now equal. Fritz says that 
instead, Rxg6 maintains a slight black advantage.} 
 23.Rh1   {At this point time is a factor, an important factor.  We were 
playing 25/60 for all time controls.  I had about 15 to 20 minutes left
