Antonius Block's Lazy Challenge

I don't get it...

I am going to think overnight on the next move. I have a bad habit of ignoring an obvious threat at a critical time, and with all the carnage in this game, I really don't know what to do with this position.

On the other hand, seems to me like you have made a miscalculation, but I will wait and think it out...

Well, I may have. Just to make sure we're on the same page:

Yes that what I saw. Cool graphic by the way. Is that from a program?

Well I can't shake the feeling that you are somehow just turns away from checkmating me and I can't figure out how. But my move is the only logical one I can see...

My grandfather always like to eliminate the queens as early as possible, it is a sign of skill and assurance that you can play without it.

I'm going to ruminate on this one.

I had a feeling I had done the wrong thing on that last move. History will record that was where I lost the game...

I wouldn't say it's over just yet. I'm stuck with three awful isolated pawns.
