The position on the left is from one of my recent chess games against ChessSmith at ChessWorld after Black played 24. Rc7. A computer analysis with Crafty showed that up to this point the game was pretty balanced. This is actually pretty good for me (playing White) because my opponents can usually rely on me making some pretty bad decisions between move 15 and 20 (If anyone reading this has an idea why this happens to me most often between the 15th and 20th move, please leave me a comment. Suggestions on how to avoid this are of course even more welcome!). In the game, I played 24. ... g6 because I felt it would be a good idea to give my King some space. However, this defensive idea turned out to be the move that got me into trouble, and I ultimately failed to prevent a simple checkmate a few moves later. Any suggestions what to play here (and most importantly why)? The complete game can be found here
