God, this was an embarrassing display of chess. I apologize. I always play Bb7 but tried a new thing, it sucked i got killed LOL I really liked 9. Bb5 for white in the game what do you think of that move? I missed that I had 11... O-O then if pxd6 Re8 Ne5 Nxe5 wins it back. Interesting if I had not resigned and you had played Qf3 Nd3+ Nxe5 gains a pawn for black, maybe he can survive after all?

Hmmm 9. Bb5 looks like it allows Ne5? I think if I let you get that move in you're ok.

And in that line, I was actually looking at it during the game but I didn't mention it because it loses for black! After 17. Qf3 Nd3+ 18. Kf1 Nxe5 19. Qe4! and if Qxd6, I think that Bxh6 gxh6 Nf5 is just crushing.

I guess looking at it the position was already rotten, so that might have been a good way to complicate (so I should have at least mentioned it during the video), but I thought that you had better chances just moving the queen back to b7.

hmm Bd6? looks really bad. White gets a crushing central bind and black is definately lost after move 10. I thought you should just play Bxh6 instead of Qe4, where black's position is extremely ugly, his king has nowhere safe to run, etc. White will launch a crushing attack. Invasion on f6 looks simply winning. after ...c4 white certainly stands much better but why

Haha, I guess I just didn't want to capture the silly looking knight and give up the bishops until it was winning by force. The knight couldn't move anyways, and Qe4 took away some squares. I didn't give it too much thought because everything looked fairly straightforward.

Yo,

Enjoyed watching the video you two. Thanks for posting.
