Analysis Please?

Hi.
I assume you were Black.
Brilliant effort against first GM face to face.
Nf6-e4 (I bet the old heart was beating when you played that).
Leaving a piece hanging to threaten a mate#2 v your
first GM - I predict a bright future young man.

Hi anthias. Why did you play Bh2+ and the Qf4??. After 17 Bd3 why not 17 ..Bxd3 on your part? What was the idea behind Bh2+ and then Qf4??

Mainly because I miscalculated. Initially, I thought Bxd3 is what White wanted: exchaning an aggressive piece and developing his Queen into a more central spot. I tried to find a way to continue on with an attack while resonding to the threat. I thought it was OK after calculating a few lines, but I discarded Rxe4 because it seemed it only gave away the exchange.

I think I shouldn't have played Bd6 in the first place. The whole idea of dxc4 and e5 was just something I made up OTB. Does anyone know this opening or ones similar to it?

Im just going to try and analyse it, firstly, is what your profile says true?

Here's another nice game I played today. This time it is a win, though 🙂 My opponent was the highest rated opponent I've beaten so far (1989).
