If I was going to take the bishop with my queen, I should have done it here, instead. Really, though, I shouldn't have done it at all. |

I thought I was so clever, his knight being pinned, but my bishop was just too close to his pawns, I couldn't maintain, and should have seen that in the first place. It was at this point I lost my queen. |

Ok, so at this point, I freaked out, and instead of protecting my pieces, I, um... I dunno. |

This move turned out to be a crucial one, but I don't think I realized it at the time. I think I was just trying to take back the rhythm of the game. |

I don't think I even realized that my rook might be taken. |

after this move (14), I saw a potential winning scenario, made a comment to myself on what it would be so I would remember it, and watched to see if he would follow what I thought he would do. The next four moves were exactly as I predicted. I was way behind at this point, and so I don't know if I was lucky, or good. |
