I would be interested in seeing what some of you think about this game.
We were fairly evenly matched as far as ratings go and had both played several good games against each other, but I think black had a really bad day here.
I'm sure I made bad moves as well, but black failed to capitalize on them, while I somehow managed to be in the right place and time to take advantage of many of his mistakes.

You can never see the game display in the original first post preview.
Test it by going into any other thread first.
Once White was a Rook and Knight up the contest was over.
There was a quicker win here.

[FEN "N3kb1r/4qp1p/1Q1p1np1/p1pPp3/4P1b1/4BNP1/PPP1BP1P/2KR3R w - - 0 19"]
19. Bb5+ Nd7 {This or Bd7 it makes no difference.} 20. Nc7+ Kd8 21. Ne6+ {Double Check.} 21... Ke8 22. Qb8+ Qd8 23. Qxd8[/pgn]
Anyway, it's working fine and thanks for the help! I don't do these pgn posts enough!

Originally posted by mwmillerYeah, it was a pretty dismal game for black. He allowed his N to get kicked around early on and moved it to a bad square (b4). Then he missed a one-move threat to win it. But the worst part was on move 12 - he should have developed the kingside and castled instead of moving a piece that had already moved twice.

2...exd4 was a better way to handle the opening.

Originally posted by SwissGambitYes, 2...exd4 seems to be the obvious move. It leads to the Center Game, the Danish Gambit, or the Scotch Game.
