In the afternoon, I was paired with Josefine Heinemann (2233), a 17 year-old from Germany who should get her WIM ratified in a few weeks.
I equalized relatively easy as Black, but I saw a serious ghost on my move 26. White has just played 26.cd3; my pawn had been there since move 22.
I now thought recapturing was a trap. 23...Nxd3 24. Rxd3 Qxd3 25. Qe6+ Kh8 (25... Ke8 26. Bc5 + Rd6 [but as below I didn't 'see' my Rd7 rook]) 26. Qe8+ mating.
I missed that I would have 25...Rd7. So I should have taken the pawn and it is roughly equal, but I have to be careful from untangling from the pin.
Eventually that d-pawn ran all the way down the board, and I resigned on move 55
