AGH!!!! 23...Qa5 loses the exchange to 24. Bxa2 - I missed it three times till I watched the Video - LOL

I am ashamed of giving it a !? rating - LOL - but I was so far ahead I had gone to autopilot by that point -

we were about even - he was 1369 I was 1351, but I've been flirting with 1400 lately and was on a bit of a recovery

Your title is worded a hit too strongly. I've had at least two players castle when they shouldn't have and land right into my preset kingside attack or causing them to hang a crucial piece which I was able to take (with check as an added bonus).

Castling isn't always a good idea...

very nice win!

This was a very fast game. Still over 11 minutes left on the clock.
I like your live commentary games, they really teach a lot.
