It's that same knight again! Messing with my plan of attack. I'm not sure I had much more than that one little attack in me. That knight really is annoying me. I swear the next time Jeff and I play, I'm taking out his knights right away. I don't care what kind of position I have to give up.
Oh, well, back to this game. What was I was doing? |

Oh, yeah... Using my doubled up rooks to attack his king. I remember now. |

Nimbly avoiding my attack, Jeff sidesteps very well, protected by that cursed knight that he brought back into play. |

Hey, I have a knight! Let's see if my knight can get into the action here. |

Doesn't look like Jeff's going to give a chance to mount a serious attack here. He's throwing that rook around--daring me to trade. |

I'll do anything to get rid of that knight at this point--especially since I'll end up considerably ahead at the end of this series. Come & get me! |

Committed to the attack, Jeff has no real choice... |

Yay!!!! I killed his knight. Who cares about the game at this point. I finally got the knight that I should have taken back near the beginning & I'm content. Even if everything falls apart from here--at least that knight is out of the picture. |

It's late in the game to come up with a knight advantage at this point, but Jeff has a lot of fight left in him. He moves forward to regroup with his pawns. |

Anxious to regain the advantage, Jeff attacks when he should have studied the board a bit more. |

And I get my own deadly fork going. |

Now, the final warrior from the other side has been vanquished, but I know Jeff too well to let up. He will not quit until every chance at a victory or a stalemate has been exhausted. |

There's really nothing more to talk about here. If I don't make a mistake, then it's just a matter of moves. Jeff played an excellent game--I felt like I was behind the whole time & outplayed. I strung together a couple of good moves here and there, but was pushed around almost from the get go.
I don't like to spoil the ending here, but I didn't make any glaring mistakes & the game came to its inevitable conclusion. Thank you for reading my annotation--I had fun writing it & I hope no one's offended by anything in it. It was just meant to be fun.
