(The ratings of the two players were their ratings before the game had started) This was the second of two wonderful games I played with psilure78. Hope you enjoy both annotations! |

My traditional opening. |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... d5
|
As pointed out in my other annotation, although the ratings between the two players are just numbers, my opponent was still more skilled and had more experience than me, so I had to be ready for moves I didn't expect or usually see, like this one. |

I get myself in a bad position early. |
|
| |
|
|
3... Qxd1+
|
The queens are gone early. As pointed out in the other annotation, we both like to do even trades. |
|
| |
|
|
4. Kxd1
|
The problem is now I can't castle. |
|
| |
|
|
4... e6 5. Bb5+
|
Worth a shot. |

Wasn't expecting that. I was expecting him to attack like in this game and the other game. This was the first time he basically countered. |

12. Bc4+

Again worth a shot. |

That time it was forced pretty much. Any other move to protect the king would of resulted in a disadvantage for him. |

More trading I hope. |

Again a counter, but of course this time my knight is in danger, so this made sense. |
|
| |
|
|
16. Nc2
|
I go for that pawn. |
|

|
|
16... Rd8+

I knew that was gonna happen sooner or later. |

17. Kc1 Nd7
|
What? His b4 pawn has no protection. Alas, I'm a rookie. |

I saw stuff like that in our other game, but I missed that opportunity. |

I'm ready to take the rooks out of play. |
