1. e4
|
Since I was never any good at openings, I started with the most basic move. e4 |

|
| |
|
|
1... d5
|
Things started to complicate for me, never liked to study or train openings and this one was all new to me. (didn't know about Game DB, call me a Noob. :o ) |

|
| |
|
|
2. d4
|
I decided to try and conquer the center of the board. |

|
| |
|
|
2... dxe4 3. Nc3
|
Developing pieces and aiming to get a pawn back. |

|
| |
|
|
3... Nf6 4. Be3
|
Dumb move on my part. Just wasted a move, since I will move the bishop again. I would have been better of with Bc4 |

|
| |
|
|
4... e6 5. Bg5 Bb4 6. Qe2
|
Another dumb move, I can't explain today. |

|
| |
|
|
6... Qxd4 7. Rd1
|
Only logical move at this point. |

|
| |
|
|
7... Qe5 8. Bxf6
|
At this point I was hoping that he played Qxf6 so I would do Qxe4, liberating my Bishop and getting a pawn back. |

|
| |
|
|
8... gxf6 9. g3 b6 10. f4
|
Another strange move, but I wasn't thinking proper. |

|
| |
|
|
10... Bxc3+ 11. bxc3 Qxc3+ 12. Kf2
|
At this point, running away was best, since I couldn't afford to exchange more pieces, given my pawn disadvantage. |

|
| |
|
|
12... f5
|
I believe he would be better off with Rg8. It would apply extra pressure on my already difficult position. |

|
| |
|
|
13. Nh3 Ba6 14. Qd2
|
I had no choice at this point, I had to deliver my queen to the exchange. |

|
| |
|
|
14... Qf3+ 15. Kg1 O-O
|
Protecting from Qd8 |

|
| |
|
|
16. Ng5
|
Time to budge that Black Queen away. |

|
| |
|
|
16... Qa3 17. Bxa6
|
Clearing some of the pressure on my king. |

|
| |
|
|
17... Nxa6 18. c3
|
I stop him from doing Nb4 while protecting my a2 pawn |

|
| |
|
|
18... Nc5 19. Kg2
|
Freeing my h1 rook. |

|
| |
|
|
19... Nd3 20. Rhf1
|
No idea why I played this, but I was running low on ideas. |

|
| |
|
|
20... Rad8 21. Qe2
|
Taking my queen out of harms way. |

|
| |
|
|
21... Kg7 22. Qh5
|
Finally a chance to put a bit of pressure of my own. |
