HCC VIII

I finished with 2-1=1 and lost 3 rating points. The loss was to co-champion Allen Becker. I misplayed the middle game, but reached the following equal position as Black. But in mutual time trouble played Qxc4??, which loses a piece to Bxe4.

    We all have such oversights. I guess your inner dialog wasn't functioning properly at that point.

    I played Qxc4?? after that White can play Bxe4, and I can't take the piece since I lose my rook to Rc3.
