30. h4 Bb7 31. Bf3
Ok, so I fianchetto the bishop and then when he blocks with his bishop I don't have the guts to take him. Being up by a bishop, I definitely should have taken him at this point. How many blunders have I had in this game so far…don't answer that. I've lost count by this point.

 
31... Bc8
Laughable, I just wasted 2 moves, no really, 3 moves. Still not out of it yet though. At least in my mind.

 
32. Bc6 Bxf5 33. Qh2 Ne8
Ng4 would have been much better here. It would have done the double task of attacking the queen and protecting the e4 pawn. This was my last (and fatal) blunder. Had I made the Ng4 move, I think that I might have been still in the game, although clearly still at a positional disadvantage despite my 2 point lead.

 
34. Rxe5 Be6 35. Rhe1 Nc7 36. Re5xe6 Nxe6 37. Qb8#
So, skeeterss0, if you're reading this, good game. You made less mistakes than me, and fully deserved your win! And that, my friends is how NOT to play 1.e4 c5 2.Bc4...
