Jun-04-22  optimal play: 6.Nd2??

This idiotic move simply loses a piece.

21...Bxc6?

Better is 21...Nxc6 defending the a-pawn.

22...g5?

Better is 22...b6

24...Kd7?

Black has blown an easy win. White now gets back the piece he blundered in the opening.

26...Nxc6?

Black compounds his error. The correct response is 26...bxc6

29...Qg7?

Black has now imploded.

Good fightback by White. He hung in there and snatched an unlikely win.
