15... Qc8

maybe Q-d8 was better, attacking my weak pawn at d2. |

at this point i`m thinking to put my heavy pieces behind my center pawns and advance them and maybe get a passed pawn out of this strategy. |

i'm forced to take his bishop but i don't mind that much. |

19... Nxg7

he in turn takes my bishop out of the game. |

so far so good, i`m really liking my position at this point, my pawns stand ready to advance. |

a subtle but good move, creates an opening for my queen on f3 where it can attack black's b7 pawn which would be pinned due to his rook on a8. |

21... a6
|
he's probably thinking about attacking my bishop, meanwhile my queen is sitting in the weeds waiting to strike at f3. |

i want to move my bishop away from his threatening pawns and get it more involved in supporting my center formation of pawns. |

i attack his rook forcing him to move it while at the same time advancing another pawn up the center of the board. |

i`ll have to keep an eye on my king side, i`m notorious for neglecting the safety of my king. |

attacking and pinning his b pawn, notice the mobility of my pieces and how they fit in with my pawn structure, this is a theme i plan on focusing on from this game on...the nimzo-larsen opening had done it's job and left me with a good pawn skeleton for the middle game wars. |

i capture his b7 pawn...oh it feels so good. i'm up a pawn and my center mass of pawns is looking more threatening all the time. |

i`m looking good here but instead of considering candidate moves (like R-a1), i decide to make the first move that pops in my head. |

fortifying my pawn center, not such a bad move really, but now i'm thinking what i could have done with my rook if i had of moved it to a1.....looking at it now I have the whole queenside to myself with a queen, a bishop and two connected rooks ready to swing into action....the road not taken, as in life so it is in chess, but of course that leaves my king pretty lonely with black's queen, rook and knight hanging around a dark lamppost on the kingside...'for every solution there is another problem.' |

his knight attacking my queen. |

27. Qf3
|
i don`t think this a bad move in itself, i just wonder if i shouldn`t have condsidered other moves. my great failing in chess is that i am impatient and easily frustrated and usually make the first move that comes into my mind....a basic character flaw that impeds my ability to improve my game. |
