Round 3
1.e4 c5 2.d4
cxd4 3.c3 dxc3
4.Nxc3 I don't have a whole lot of respect
for this type of opening and I am always happy to play against it\
4...Nc6
5.Nf3 d6 6.Bc4
g6 7.
9.Bxf7+
Kf8 10.Bxg8 Kxg8 I
spent a few minutes here but decided taking with the rook wasted too much time, I think it might have
been better though\
11.Qc4+ Kf8
12.Ng5 Ne5 13.Qb3
Qd7 big mistake, 14. f3 wins the bishop*,
fortunately he missed it\
14.h3 h6
15.hxg4 15. f4 would be much, much better*\
15...hxg5 I
felt relieved to bit rid of the pressure, Fritz calls the game equal here\
16.f3
Nd3 17.Bxg5 the
losing move, now I win both rooks\
17...Bd4+ 18.Rf2
Nxf2 19.Kf1 Rh1+
20.Ke2 Rxa1 21.Nb5 21.
Bh6 would've won a knight after I block w/ my bishop & he trades*\
21...Bb6 leading
to mate in two for white 22. Bh6+ Ke1 23. Qh8#\
22.Qc3 now
I have a forced mate in 5 which I didn't see, but my advantage is overwheliming nonetheless\
22...Qxb5+
23.Kd2 Rd1+ 24.Kc2
Bd4 better is the forced mate 24. ... Qa4+
25. b3 Qa2+ 26. Qb2 Rc8# *\
0-1
