This was an interesting game, where my opponent made one noticeable mistake, which- I am proud to say- I was able to capitalize on. The main story in Batman: The Dark Knight is the Joker wants to kill Batman, so to I want to eliminate the Dark Knights (coincidentally, not planned). |

I decided to go ahead and test the center. |

I think Nde7 would have been better here. |

Now he has some serious defending to do and will wind up a pawn down. |

There were other options here, but I don't know that the results would change, possibly Nb4. |

I felt this was a good in order to continue pressure on the center as well as create a line toward blacks king. |

This works to my advantage and I gain a pawn. |

He must take with the pawn or lose the Queen. |

Now I am up a pawn, although he does have two bishops versus my knights. |

exd6, this was the important move in my opinion. I'm volunteering to trade queens in order to advance my pawn. After I made this move though, I discovered it may have been a mistake because of Bxd5, pxe7, Re8, Re1, Be6, etc. |

He didn't accept. |

I could've offered another trade with Ne5, but I didn't like the prospects from that trade, except that I could've taken another piece off of the board. Maybe I should have. |

I think this move should've been played before. Why Rac8 and not Rad8? |

I offered the Knight, and he accepts. It gains a pawn back for him, but it allows me to stack for my attack. |

Stacking begins. He should do the same, but the threat of my Knight scared him away I guess so he moves... |

Operation Stack Attack, by the way anyone ever had a Stack Attack from Wendy's? Delicious. It used to be the Double Stack, but now it's Stack Attack. Good Value though. I have officially coined a fast food phrase for Chess, so send all royalties to ralbama1. |

This was the losing move. My opponent joked after my next move, "just wanted to make sure you were paying attention." Well I was. |
