Queen sacrifice- my first I think. Cracking game where we both castled on opposite sides and tried to attack the other's king. Can you spot his brilliant trap on move 25 and if I say so myself, my nice move on #36 which allowed me to wrap it up. Pl comment freely, I am sure you will enjoy this high octane ride. Thanks also to tomoa who sent a nice message on defeat. PLEASE RATE  |

harass his knight, although it leaves this e pawn too much in front with no development of pieces. what do you think? |

now why did he let me take this b7 pawn, was it to open up the b file for an attack on my king? |
