Blunder (19)

In this position from Bok - Berelovich (Bundesliga 2010) Black blundered with 21.- Rc2??


One could call this an optimistic move, in fact this loses the rook since he has no squares if the white king goes to d1 and the pawn to c4, and this is how it happened: 22.Rxe8+ Nxe8 23.Ke1 Nd6 24.Kd1 Rb2 25.c4 Nxc4 26.Bxb2 1-0
