24...Nf6
I had nursed a small advantage to this position and now had a chance to keep up the pressure by playing f3 and then only then Qa4 if appropiate [depending on Blacks response] I even got the chance to transpose but went astray with Bb5.

26.Bb5?
After this the position is equal
26...Ne4!
I had underestimated this move and reacted badly by losing my focus here.
27.Nxe4
fxe4
28.Re2
Rf3
I had of course seen this and even the consequences of the blunder I now made, but as is often the case I simply forgot what I had been working out in my head and then just played a move that leaves me defenseless
29.Bc6??
Qf7
And of course now I cant play Qc2
30.Rcc2
Bc4
And Black is winning! Rather than just being an exchange down and passive I tried to confusemy opponent but instead went down in flames.
