I'm using the word "swind" in the title of this post to represent "incomplete swindle" because it's shorter than "a-swindle-that-didn't-work-because-I-missed-a-move" and better sounding than "blunder".
This position is from perrypawnpusher - Gibarian, blitz, FICS, 2010.
My opponent had defended very well against my Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit, but time was running low for him, and because of that I had managed to regain my sacrificed piece.
Unfortunately, time was running short for me too. So I decided on a swindle to split the point and maintain my dignity.
32.Rxd6
Looking like a time pressure oversight.
32...Qxf1 33.Rxh6+
33...gxh6 34.Qe5+ Kg8
Aaaack!
The draw is obtained with 35.Qg3+:
35...Kh7 36.Qxc7+ etc.;
35...Kh8 36.Qe5+ etc.
35...Kf7 36.Qxc7+ Kf6 (36...Ke8 37.Qe5+ Kd7 38.Qg7+ Ke8 39.Qe5+ etc.) 37.Qd6+ Kg5 38.Qg6+ Kf4 39.Qxh6+ Kf3 40.Qxc6+ Ke2 41.Qc4+ etc.
35...Rf7 36.Qg6+ Rg7 37.Qe8+ Kh7 White resigned
