I didn't realize he could take the pawn |

|
| |
|
|
8... Nxd5 9. exd5 Re8
|
a desperate attempt to win back some material |

the doubled pawns make him weaker, but they threaten my bishop |

|
| |
|
|
10... Bb6 11. O-O d6
|
maybe a mistake to chase away the knight? |

I don't know why I played this. It seems kind of reckless. |

a good move, my queen is out there doing nothing |

|

|
|
13... Bf5 14. Nf4 Rad8 15. Re1 Rxe1+

I shouldn't have taken it, it gives up the open file |

|
| |
|
|
16. Qxe1 a6
|
no point to this |

|

|
17. a4 Ba7 18. Ra2

this move is still puzzling to me, why did he just try to attack me? |

|
| |
|
|
24... Bc7 25. Rxd8+ Bxd8
|
trading down, probably a bad idea because I was down on material |
