Hunting for Mistakes * me vs. KISS, Albert

"5r2/1p6/1Pp1k1b1/p1PpPpp1/P2P2P1/5R2/5K2/1B6 w - - 0 44"

After Black's last 43..h6xg5
it is White to move

The game was played in an open tournament in Berekfürdő, Hungary, on Sep-11, 2009.
I was the first player and did not find the winning plan. (As it turned out later, this was neither the first nor the last opportunity for the victory, thanks to the weak opposition, but I was extremely exhausted that morning, that's why I failed to find the moves, and even lost the game eventually due to a horrible blunder in an equal queens endgame after hours of play...)

Sarret Cup, the 3rd, in Tetétlen (summary+games)

I came in 1st place (+5 -0 =2) on the 3rd day of this 7-round open tournament for players below 2200 FIDE rating.
All my games are analyzed with some engine (i.e. Rybka 3 Dynamic-w32, mostly) and downloadable from the link above. (The entry title is a link.)

The first and the third game (against Lenke and Csomós, respectively) were the most horrible of all, the latter because of 0 (zero) minute's sleep during the previous night... That day I played 3 games and scored 2.5 points, which certainly could not have been achieved against stronger opposition.

Well, this had been my first 1st place in an individual tournament with more than 50 participants, as far as I can remember. I was happy, but... I could have scored even better if I had slept more than 2 (two) and 0 (none) hour during the nights before the second days's 3 and the third day's 2 games, respectively... (the usual chronical sleeplessness)

Puspokladany Open, the 2nd, in Püspökladány (summary+games)

Because of having the worse Buchhholz, I came in only 2nd (+7 -1 =1) after the 9th round of this 4-day open tournament for sub-2200 players.
All my games are analyzed with an engine (i.e. Rybka 2.3.2-w32, mostly) and downloadable from the link above. (The entry title above is a link.)
As for the dropped 1.5 points, there were sleepless nights again. There was a time during the tournament when I had to ask somebody for a place where I could sleep for an hour or two before the next round... Usually it takes quite an effort for me to fall asleep at usual hours, especially when I must sleep. (Sorry for my bad English, I am beginning to feel I have to practice even more.)
Unfortunately, day one of this event became a nightmare for me (at least, as for the quality of my game after a certain point), but this time thanks to my opponent. He kept speaking to me during the game, even when I was to move, we even had a quarell about it
I could name only a few games in which I didn't mistakes that could have proven faithful against stronger opponents: the ones against Hegedűs (round 3), Solymosi (r5), and Ress (r7). But when I didn't, my opponents did.

Selected game(s) of mine:

• Solymosi vs. Hóember -> with and without analyzis
