{ Mehmet made an unexpected blunder thinking that the f-pawn was protected with a tactical idea. This almost cost him the title in the 2nd grade section! }
22. Nh3?? (22. Bc4 { keeps the game going }) 22... Qxf3 23. Nf5+? { this was probably the move he calculated since it was played almost instantaneous, but he missed that because of the back-rank issue the knight could be captured with the rook! } (23. Re1 Qxg2 24. Bxg2 Bxg4 $19) 23... Rxf5! 24. gxf5 Qxd1# { 0-1 Black wins. } { Congratulations to Mehmet on bouncing back in Round 7 with a win for a share of the title, and to Dario on this great win and on also earning a share of the title! } 0-1
