Mike Serovey Loses To Nirio Basallo

Here is an old game played back in 1993. I was playing White against an expert who was only a few rating points away from master. I got my Rook trapped by a Bishop and lost the exchange. I was unable to hold the endgame down material and resigned. The complete game, with analysis and diagrams, can be found at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/Nirio-Basallo-English.html. Here is the game in PGN.
