The only way to get better at a game is to review your mistakes. I lost so I must have made some; Thus, I am annotating this game. Feel free to give any constructive criticism for a move you thought was bad or could have been done better. I'd appreciate it. |

This was before I learned how to play the sicilian properly. I would have played c5 instead of b6. |
