Here 18....Rxe1 is winning; instead the game goes 18....Bd4+?? 19.cxd4 and Black loses, or should lose.

19....Qxd4+ 20.Kh1 +-; 19....f2+ 20.Rxf2 Rxe1+ 21.Bf1 +-; 19....Qg4+ 20.Kf2! Qh4+ 21.Kxf3! +-.

There is no mate in seven, or in any other number of moves. Is this a garbled score?

Mar-15-21  Chessist: Move 17 was ... Kh8 (instead of ... Te8).
Mar-15-21  Jean Defuse: ...
