    Ended up winning. But, I probably shouldn't have after the ridiculous move 35.b-c6?? giving up the one advantage (which I was planning on winning with-the queenside majority along with knight versus bishop)

    What do you think the best way to proceed at move 35 is?

    here is the link to the game....obviously it is still "in progress" but not really. I catch his pawn he can't catch mine.

    I've got no clue where you got your PGN text, it makes no sense. Part of your failure was also the [ /pgn ] to start the pgn. Where are all the spaces required to separate the moves? Hit reply and quote to see how it's pasted properly. Have fun.

    Wow, that is weird. I just copy and pasted the pgn from the link. Oh well, thanks for posting that though. Any thoughts on the game? Mistakes other than the obvious one where I lose a pawn or where he allows me to go into the king and pawn endgame?

    Hmm...maybe I should have mentioned skeeter somewhere in here. Is this game really perfect? No comments at all?

    The first thing that I see is 12.Qa4+... pretty much a useless move that loses, count em, two tempi. One for moving the queen to a4 and one for moving it back to d1.

    after 15. q-d1 the knight has left the kingside. Is 2 knight moves to a bad square really a gain of tempo?
