! Retreating to his home square is actually a VERY effective move... the queen doesn't have many good places to go. | ||||||||

14... Qd8 |
I can hear the crowd on Will's side chanting "De-Fence!" This is a good move, too. | ||||||||

I'm still going for it -- this is maybe questionable, but I play better when I play aggressive. (Don't tell that to rt4sm, who I'm 0-6 against!) | ||||||||

I wasn't expecting that move at all! I'm a little excited here, as I figure open lines can only help me. | ||||||||

And now I realized that moves like g4 and h4 will leave my own king dangerously exposed! This may not be best, but I thought it was a little safer than gxf5. | ||||||||

Hey there, sister. | ||||||||

17. Qg3 |
Of course, I figure keeping the queens on will benefit me. I also didn't want to give him a free redeployment of his knight with QxQ. | ||||||||

17... Qf8 |
Is he planning Rf7? | ||||||||

I'll nix that idea. | ||||||||

|
18... Nxe5 19. Qxe5 Qf6 |
Now, is there anything good for me other than exchanging? Rf7 was impossible due to Qxe6, but if I don't take, well, that pawn on h4 is really bad all-of-a-sudden. | ||||||||

I had to. | ||||||||

20... Nxf6 21. f3 |
This'll ensure the protection of my kingside, as f3 keeps his knight out of... well, everywhere. It's nice to notice that in a position this closed, black is waaaay behind in development, and it totally doesn't matter at all. | ||||||||

21... Bd7 22. a4 |
Having been stymied on the kingside, I decide to test the waters on the queenside. a4 looks a little like a suicide run, though... | ||||||||

22... O-O-O |
? I've got to say, I don't understand this. We're taught that castling is good, but I've just made an advance on his queenside and he seems to be inviting it. | ||||||||

I think the position totally called for this. | ||||||||

...at least his bishop isn't any better than mine. At this point, I figure my best shot to make something happen is to ram the a-pawn down his throat, play Bf4, and try to force the a-pawn through to a queening square by a rook sac on b6. | ||||||||

Here it comes... | ||||||||

Oblivious to my plan... | ||||||||
