11. c4
pawns to the rescue...too late

 
11... Qxg5
now this is a strange move..why not take the knight?

 
12. cxd5
and she does so...

 
12... Qxd5
in exchange for a pawn

 
13. a4
good, an attack in the middle is best arepelled by an attack on the flank

 
13... Bb7
my opening is almost complete

 
14. Qh4
white is positioning her queen for a major assault

 
14... Qxg2
and in so doing, gives up a pawn.

 
15. Ke2
now she has to move defensively to protect her castle

 
15... Qf3+
I am trying to get her to drop back to the first row so I can capture a rook...

 
16. Kf1
Excellent...

 
16... Qf5
but I think I sense danger if I do that...so I drop back

 
17. Bxd7
now why did white not capture a rook here? Because she was trying to ensure a mate with her Bishop and Queen I believe.

 
17... Red8
so instead, I will threaten her

 
18. Qe7
a good move to bring the Queen into the attack, but my King is in his castle, and well protected.

 
18... Bxh1
so I capture her rook

 
19. Bb4
this IS dangerous...but again, as I assess the situation, premature. There is no way for her to mate me in the current allignment as far as I can tell.

 
19... Qh3+
So I try to control the game by keeping her King in check and manouvering him to a certain mate

 
20. Ke2
he escapes for now.

 
20... Qf3+
"hello"
