alrighty, So, this is Me after being kicked out of Southern Chess trying to build up my rating again.
Dude probably doesn't know that I'm actually stronger than my rating shows. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
1... g6 
 | 
I intended to get out one of the fancy schmancy modern openings out, so I began to ready the flanchetto. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
2. Qf3 
 | 
The 4-move opening again? pah! | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
2... Bg7 3. Bc4 
 | 
I wonder how many people actually fall for that... | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
3... e6 
 | 
That stops that. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
4. d3 c6 
 | 
intent to move ##. ... d5 eventually, forcing his bishop into a useless corner. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
5. Nh3 
 | 
This move always confuses me. Aren't knights supposed to be used near the middle, where they have the most manuverability? | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
5... d5 6. exd5 
 | 
And so it begins... | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
6... cxd5 
 | 
*clomp!* | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
7. Bb5+ Bd7 8. Bxd7+ 
 | 
If you can't tell, I forced that out of him...
I contemplated 7. ... Nc6 8. ... a6 but I'm satisfied with the overall result. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
8... Nxd7 9. O-O Ne7 10. Bg5 
 | 
I was SO waiting for that. With that, I can score 6 points at least! *in an unenthusiastic cheer* yaaaaay. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
10... Bxb2 11. Nf4 
 | 
Y'know... wouldn't most people have moved the OTHER knight out of the way? for, like, avenging the rook? | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
11... Qa5 
 | 
I did that to:
   Free up my knight from the psuedo-pin he was in.
   Add a defender to the d5 pawn
   Prepare to jack up his bishop (by moving up my pawn) | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
12. Nxe6 
 | 
This baffels me... Why would he give up a knight for a pawn if it doesn't really get him an advantage | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
12... fxe6 
 | 
Meh, *recapture* | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
13. Na3 
 | 
'bout time he moved the knight! Sheesh! | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
13... Bxa1 14. Rxa1 Qxa3 
 | 
... and that puts me 8 up! | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
15. Re1 
 | 
This worried me slightly, but then I saw an opening that would blow him to shreds if he took that pawn... | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
15... Rc8 
 | 
this made that situation unstable for white. moving the rook away from the back row would cause it pain. MUCH pain. | 
   
    |

| 
 | 
16. Qe3 
 | 
lining up for an e-file push? |
