From -4 to +6 in one move. Can you calculate this correctly? · Road to GM, Game 289

Calculation is key. All strategic and positional understanding, endgame skill or opening prep are useless if you miss a key variation in a single combination. That is what I did this game. Instead of winning in one move, I managed the opposite. Tactics!
