1. e4	Started with the Kings Opening as per instruction to trigger Sicilian Defense



1... c5 2. Nf3	Choose Nf3 to start Sicilian Defense



2... Nc6 3. Bb5	Bb5 attempting to use Sicilian Defense: Nyezhmetdinov-Rossolimo Attack



3... Nf6 4. O-O	Castling was a blunder, sacrificing my bishop to get her horse was a better move.
	1 comment archduke_piccolo (2332) on 12-Nov-24: Gives up a central pawn for little return.


4... Nxe4 5. d3	used d3 to make her retreat from attacking.



5... Nd6 6. Qe2	Qe2 to make her e7 stay closed.
	1 comment archduke_piccolo (2332) on 12-Nov-24: Now this really is a blunder; the b5-bishop is 'en prise'.


6... f6 7. Nc3	Tried to give my Bb5 have some back up if she attempt to get it using her Nd6
	1 comment archduke_piccolo (2332) on 12-Nov-24: Black has returned the compliment. After this move, Black will retain an advantage, but not as great as would have obtained after 6...Nxb5.


7... h6 8. g4	g4 was another blunder Nh4 was a better move to attempt a check
	1 comment archduke_piccolo (2332) on 12-Nov-24: Much better would have been 8.Bf5, with the idea 8...Nxb5 9.Nxb5 e5 - to obviate threats on c7 and d6 - 10.Nxe5 fxe5 11.Bxe5 Nxe5 12.Qh5 - with an attack strong enough to draw.


8... Qc7 9. Bf4	Bf4 was an attempt to trap her queen.
	1 comment archduke_piccolo (2332) on 12-Nov-24: Good move.


9... e5 10. Nxe5	Ne5 was a sacrifice in order to check her early attempting if I can smother mate her.
	1 comment archduke_piccolo (2332) on 12-Nov-24: Possibly 10.Nd5 would have been preferable, but the sac is a reasonable try.
