One of the odd things when you look at my history on the US Chess website is the fact that while I have a reasonable record for my rating against 2000, 2100, and 2200 I had only managed one win against a 1900.
Until today when I beat a talented junior in round one of the WI G/60 State Championship.
Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

I would have played 25.Rxe7, but Black is also quite lost after your 25.Re6.
I thought about taking the knight on e7, but I felt like 25.Re6 kept things slightly more complicated and my opponent seemed to be visibly struggling so I didn’t want to simplify anything. This is a common fault of mine that I need to work on.
