A simple game that I started on the same day that I became a member. It features my favorite move BY FAR at 15. I'm sure you'll like it as well. Enjoy :D
1. e4
(Back one for intro) This is my favorite opening move and I see no reason to deviate from it now.

 
1... e5
Natural reply. I have seen it so many times, and I have experimented with countermeasures and I have chosen this one...

 
2. Nf3
...attempting the Ruy Lopez, by far the most common of my openings.

 
2... Nc6
And I am obliged! Now it's time for the pin...

 
3. Bc4
...but no! A deviation from my norm! This will now either be an exciting battle or a quick death.

 
3... d6
Of course. He wants his white-squared bishop to be free. Who doesn't?

 
4. d4
The e pawn was waiting on his d brother, and now they will fight side by side...

 
4... exd4
...not for long, I guess.

 
5. Nxd4
If black captures the knight, I have a devious plan.

 
5... Nxd4
And he does!

 
6. Qxd4
d4 is my queen's favorite square, even if she doesn't remain there for long...

 
6... c5
Pawns cannot touch my Queen! How dare he!?

 
7. Qe3
Cowering in fear of the "threatening" pawn :D

 
7... Nf6
Puzzling...it adds little to his attack, and gives me time to do...

 
8. Nc3
...THIS! I am now ready to exploit the hole on d5.

 
8... a6
Wasting time

 
9. f4
!? Why did I not take d5 right now? I probably should have, but this will work fine.

 
9... b5
I guess my bishop will have to retreat...

 
10. e5
...NO SIR! I always favor removing both of the opposing knights from the board over both bishops, and HERE is my opportunity. Here we go...

 
10... dxe5
Should've taken my bishop here
