11. Qxf3 |
Dave acted surprised. I don't think he really was. | ||||||||

He's just pushing me around and trying to gain territory I figure. | ||||||||

I end up castling queen side. This protects my bishop and puts me in a fight for the d file that I'll gladly lose to get daves queen off the board. | ||||||||

12... Bxa3 |
Before dave made this move, he told me he was going to 'school' me on how to break up my pawn structure. He hadn't factored in my queen. He may have been aware of her when he lost the first bishop, but he wasnt aware on this one. At this point I've lost both knights, but the tradeoff for both his bishops would be huge for me. Still it smells of a trap. I hate jumping on a piece when it looks like I'm supposed to do it. | ||||||||

I decided to pressure his queen. I felt I had his black square bishop if I wanted it. I'm sure this isn't a 'book' move, but throwing Dave off his game is the only way I can gain advantage. | ||||||||

This is when I knew Dave's attack wasn't the best put together. | ||||||||

Getting my queen out early turned out to be the smartest move I've made in this game. | ||||||||

Nothing more than a pawn grab to me. The pressure on my rook didn't bother me, I was thinking e file the whole time. This does restrict my king momentarily. | ||||||||

This is probably the most comfortably I've ever owned the center of a chess game against Dave. He has no bishops, and even though I'm down a material point, I sure don't feel like it. I remind him of his 12. Bxa3 move that was going to wreck me. I laugh. I tell him thats what he gets for being an asshat. | ||||||||

Dave is trying to gain some ground. I never know what to do in cases like this. The pressure is certainly applied on me. | ||||||||

poor dave. This was forced, but it looked so girly. | ||||||||

To the chess world this was probably dumb. To me it was staking out new territory! | ||||||||

Dave apparently doesn't like my territory grab, and puts me in a fork. | ||||||||

I concede the bishop. | ||||||||

WTF??!! Dave doesn't take it! I have dodged a fork! I don't understand why I'm not out a light square bishop, but I'm lovin it at this point. | ||||||||

I'm thinking about Daves queen at this point, trying to put something together to take some of his pieces and gain an advantage. I've got firepower pointed at his king so I've got some room for error. | ||||||||

Dave takes away some of my room for error. | ||||||||
