{This move really weakened my position. It would have been best to play Na5. He should have played d6 immediately, but he plays it fast enough to ruin my day.}
17.Ne5 Qb7 18.d6 Rad8
{And this was the beginning of my downfall. I should have realized that his bishop on g5 was hanging. Nxg5 dxe7 Rxe7 and I'm still in the game. It's pretty much over from here.}
