wow. your annotation really made everything perfectly clear.
Here's the story anyways...
ivan asked me to play an unrated game as practice for him and then annotate it afterwards.. so we chatted a lot in game and then i wrote up a quick annotation. emphasis on quick apparently 😛
anyways the game is a nice one to look at whether you like the annotation or not.. it was a tactical game and the moves were pretty obvious.
Don't shoot the good samaritan 🙂.

This game is nicer.. that first game sucks 😛.
Amazing though that both players played well known book moves all the way to move 25!!!
