Unfortunately I still had about 6 minutes left
2 reasons for the blunder I think: firstly, it was a long, hard weekend! Sunday afternoon saw a fair few blunders. Secondly, I got caught up in analysing an important variation (26...Rc2 27. Qa8 Rxb2 28. Qxb8+ Bxb8 29. Ra8 Kg8 30. Rxb8+ Kf7 - I was checking to see that this was a simple enough technical win to play in 5 minutes or so) and simply forgot to do a blunder-check before playing 26...Rc2.
C'est la vie! I'll be back for the next one (hopefully in June?!)
