this was an amazing game.
awesome how you were able to forsee, that his attack isn't working at all
and invaded his queenside.

I think it's quite honorable of you to not enter any of your videos in for the video contest, as your games are more intriguing than all of today's reality television...yes..even better than American Idol and Lost.. I just wish there was a 24-hr curtains network...here is close enough, I guess!

Very well defended. Having the initiative is even more valuable in blitz, but you kept your cool and allowed your intuition and experience to hold the position.

Congratulations on the victory, and well-done on the "hanging in there" defense with Nh4! Sure, he had lots of attacking chances and didn't make the most of them, but it was still quite a mental workout! :-)

Hesitant curtains is about 2375-2400 in strength.

Quick moving curtains is 2475-2500+. The difference is astonishing.

Excellent game Curtains! I liked it because it kind of shows how one plays calmly under pressure. The kingside pawn storm is a very scary proposition to face for many of us, so it's nice to watch somebody actually defeat it.
