[Here's what I saw Mats, not change at 26 but 25.] After the gift of the Queen, instead '25 ...Kg8' sets Black towards the Win. At that point Black leads in piece points 23 to 16, thanks to giving away the Queen, and Pawns 5-7, for a five-point lead.

After 25 ...Kg8, if 26 B-f6 Q-d7 Or if 26 g6 Bxg6. White really has no good move with the above correction. The analysis does not even need to go beyond the first half-move.

Or if 26 N-f5 Bxf5. Or if 26 N-g4 B-f5. White has no worthwhile continuation let alone immortal game in the offing. Stoltz-White could just as well resign after corrected 25 ...K-g8, or just Resign in another couple moves, same difference, after having thrown away the Queen.

The title ''Gosta Get her,'' referring to tailing the Black Queen is become moot. Gosta_Get_Her

Just step the King out of the potential double line of attack right away, trading the Knight for Pawn, when so far ahead. Mats has the right move but makes the wrong claim for it!
