I figured this would be another random game that I would lose since my opponent had more experience than me, but once again, I was wrong. Here is my opening I always start with. |

Not totally sure what this accomplishes, unless he wants my bishop... |

Not what I expected. I guess he didn't realize his bishop was completely unprotected. He should of taken mine. |

9. Be2
|
Not ready to get my queen involved just yet. |
|
| |
|
|
9... d5
|
Would be better for me to attack than to wait for him to attack. |
|
| |
|
|
10. exd5 Nxd5 11. Qd2
|
Now I want my queen to get involved. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Qd7
|
Apparently so does he. |
|

12. c4

I want to drive back the knight, but this move didn't help. |
|
| |
|
|
12... Ndb4 13. Nh2
|
I decide to save my knight and attack his bishop. |

I can tell he doesn't just give up his pieces, which there's nothing wrong with that, but he'll have no choice as this game continues. |

14. a3
|
I again go for the knight. |
|
| |
|
|
14... Bxd3
|
??? His knight is wide open for a attack! This move really doesn't accomplish anything. 15. axb4 Bxe2 16. Qxe2, or better yet Qxd7 will result in a bigger advantage for me than what I currently have. |

15. axb4
|
So the knight goes. |
|
| |
|
|
15... e4
|
He gives his bishop some protection. I didn't expect that. |
|
| |
|
|
16. Bxd3 exd3 17. b5
|
I give my b and c pawns some structure. |
