11. Kd2
A dreadful blunder because...
1 comment
 
11... Qxf4+
Oops!

 
12. Kxc2
At least he gets a knight in return for the queen, and my queen is now attacked.

 
12... Qe5
So I retreated.

 
13. Bd2
He threatens my queen with Re1, pinning my queen against my king

 
13... O-O-O
So I castle

 
14. Re1
He hits the queen

 
14... Qd4
I take up a nice, centralised post threatening d3

15. Re4
He hits the queen

 
15... Qxd3+
So I take the pawn

 
16. Kd1
King walks into a self-pin. Kc1 may have been better.

16... Bd6
I develop, hitting h2

 
17. f4
He blocks the attack and opens a diagonal for his bishop

 
17... Nf6
I hit his rook

 
18. Re3
He retreats

 
18... Qd4
Queen takes up another nice central role. Qxb2, Bxf4 and Qxf4 are all threatened

 
19. Nc3
This meets one threat, but removes a defender of d2

 
19... Bxf4
I take here. He resigns, it is hopeless. If he moves his Re3 his Bd2 is lost. Many thanks for reading this, please rate the annotation and leave a comment or two! Thanks!
