When you said that white could have taken the rook with his queen first around 10:30 , I could have taken his rook with my queen with check and then take back the queen without ruining my pawn structure.

At 17:35 when you recommend Be5 when you give your variation did you factor in that even if I could come to the king side and somehow win both pawns, it is probably a draw because opposite colored bishops?

Also I am somewhat amazed that I didn't miss any tactics when the "Drama" as you dubbed it occurred.

As long as I am typing, I mine as well rant. Whenever I am playing to get a game for the analysis exchange, I only win. I never loose (A few hundred points seems not to matter), so even if the game I submit is interesting, I never learn as much as I would like. As you might have picked up in this post, I don't accept criticism well when all ends well.

Listen don't feel bad about not having time because of your daughter. Family always come before chess.

As to giving the game to Zibbit, I will only do that if I have a really interesting and complicated game, or if I feel like getting depressed about how bad I played.

PS. Is there some subliminal message in our handles that makes us always get paired together?

nice analysis.. zibbit & curtains are great, but you say stuff that's not WAAAYYYY over my head :)

btw. nice howling noises on the background, makes a nice atmosphere :)

Nice effort Mark and congratulations on being member of the week :-) Don't worry about minor errors in analysis it gets easier.
