I hate it when people play moves like this! It means I have to start thinking from move 1! |

Don't block in your king's bishop unless you are forced to. 2...Nc6 was better. |

It disrupts White's development, but it also increases the power of his bishop. Better was 3...Nf6. |

The second unnecessary pawn move in the opening! |

This is more like it. Black has a good solid position and should be able to cope with anything that White throws at him. |

This is what White wanted you to do! It enables him to develop his knight and he also gains an open file for his attack on your king. Better was 9...b5. |

Why move it when you don't have to? Again 10...b5 was best. If you had to move the knight, then e8 is a better square. It doesn't obstruct your bishop and it also protects the weak square g7. |

Before this move you had no weaknesses on the kingside, so nothing for White to attack. 11...b5 was still the move. |

The wrong knight. |

Tempting, but your knight was wonderfully placed on e5 and by capturing with the bishop you develop a piece and threaten his rook. |

I think it's only safe to play this if you are going to play ...Bf6 next move. |

I think a better plan was to reactivate your knight by playing 18...Nd7 followed by ...Ne5. |

??? The simple Nxf6 followed by h5 should be winning. |

20... Nxd5 21. cxd5 Ne5 22. Qe2 Nxd3+ 23. Qxd3 c5
|
What was wrong with 23...Qxd5? 24...c5 is then a real threat. |

You now have the initiative, so press on with the attack with 27...c4! |

You must contest control of the diagonal by playing 29...Qf6. |

I think you had to play 30...Bb7 and hope to survive the attack. |

33...Rd6 threatening 34...Qd3 looks better. |
|

|
34. Qg7+ Kd6 35. Nf6 Qd3+

Doesn't achieve anything. 35...Qe5, threatening the knight, is better. It keeps the pieces co-ordinated. |
