Threatening the Knight |

Good move - surprised me. |

|

|
5... Qd8 6. a3
|
Slow attack on the B? Otherwise I don't get it. I think it is a wasted move right now. |

|
|
|
6... c6 7. Qa4
|
nice defense of the knight |

|
|
|
7... Bd7 8. Ne3 Bxe3
|
I hate your knights and don't mind trading b's for them. |

|

|
This seems like a better time to pull this pawn up. |

|
|
|
12. f4
|
You lost the game here. Initiative is mine - I threatened e4 on turn 10 and you immediately move off that protection. |

|
|
|
12... Bxe4 13. Ng5 f5 14. b4
|
Another strange move. I am only up a pawn. I might have traded the other knight for my other bishop. I have g3 pinned. a critical point in the game. If you didn't trade pieces, you could move Nf3 to force me to trade if I want. |

|
|
|
14... exf4
|
but instead I get another pawn. |

|
|
|
15. Ne6
|
Another critical error. You have GOT to move me off of e4 or get Bf1 moving so you can castle. |

|
|
|
15... Qh4+
|
g3 in turn 14 would have prevented this too. |

|
|
|
16. Kd2
|
Now I am playing chase the king. G3 would be really helpful now, but it is still pinned.
|

16... fxe3+ 17. Kxe3 Qh6+ 18. Nf4
|
nice recovery. again it shows why I hate your N's |

|
|
|
18... Qf6 19. Rb1 Bxb1
|
Oops. Might not have mattered much, but still a mistake. |

|
|
|
20. Bd3 Qe5+ 21. Kf3 Bxd3 22. Re1
|
I think you should have taken the B. You get too fancy with the Re1 move and ... |

|
|
|
22... Be4+
|
I save the B AND put you in check AND free my Q from being pinned. |

|
|
|
23. Ke3 Ne7
|
I want the free pawn (g2), but then my Q is pinned again. I make this move to add another layer in front of my K, plus open up O-O |

|
|
|
24. Qh5+ g6 25. Nxg6
|
nice snag and threatens h8 and prevents O-O |

|
|
|
25... f4+
|
Stupid move. |

|
|
|
26. Nxf4+ Qxh5
|
I really had no choice but to trade Q's. I am way ahead on points, so the trade favors me. |
