She attacks my pawn on d3. Funnily enough I looked at Bf5-g4 and thought, what of it? My queen can always go to e4. Then I go and play.

This of course is motivated by a desire to save my d pawn. She already could have played Bf5-g4.

But she plays this instead. I should have saved my queen with h2-h3, but instead I make another huge error.

I played this, thinking I was now threatening Ne4-d6, now that my rooks were connected.

Ouch! I learn that she is not just a pretty face! I have to give up my queen for two bishops - but I still have fighting chances, as I have an extra pawn too!
