THE SCOTCH GAME

 
3... exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5
it went to scotch game. many games I played this but not on ranked games. this is my first game on rank in gameknot and first won in my record.

 
5. Nxc6
I decided to go an exchange leaving behind the book

 
5... Qf6
good answer but not as good compare to ...b7xKc6!

 
6. Qe2
not wanting this situation but I guess this will be my uncommon move here!

 
6... dxc6 7. h3 Be6 8. a3
preparing for pins but not quite right, I guess I should play here the ...kc3 and ...be3!

 
8... O-O-O
wooh! the challenge of opposite castling!

 
9. Nc3
here goes the mainstream piece.

 
9... Ne7
i Guess he should play it Kh6 than e7

 
10. Be3
there goes my killier bishop!

 
10... Bxe3 11. Qxe3
an exchange was committed

 
11... Rhe8
there goes the big mistake preparing early on the e file

 
12. Bd3 Ng6
his knight for nothing. i dont see why his aiming the knight to be there

 
13. Qxa7
an advantage move

 
13... Kd7
the king was forced to evacuate

 
14. Qe3
I dont want to capture b7 because of the rook pin, and a penetration to my queenside!

 
14... Ke7
the wandering king. I was hoping a more challenging potion from castling on opposite sides

 
15. O-O
looking up for safety, I need to prepare for the e file exchange

 
15... Kf8
3 moves deficit he loose a lot of tempo here
