It's a pity that I'm on the losing end of 99% of the gorgeous games I participate in, but that's life.
I guess maybe I should have seen it, but he played well and deserved the win.
The game stayed in the database until Ng4 (which I think deserves about a billion exclamation marks)
Anyways, Enjoy

Ng4 is a good move in that, white must play careful...
I think Qd3 is alright though....
as for Bxg3+, well, that moves obvoius....

the move only works after white has removed an escape square for the King.
You should allways analyze checks, and in general, be far less hasty to dismiss than any other move...
Originally posted by ih8sensI mean in the end. Bxa5 gives your opponent a chance to blunder with the attack on the queen followed by possibility for queen exchange?
When?, I was under constant mate threat from move 14 or something, and I had no chance before that.

I mean in the end. Bxa5 gives your opponent a chance to blunder with the attack on the queen followed by possibility for queen exchange?
.. i would need to KEEP my queen for perpetual check, my only real drawing opportunity.
I played a similiar game not too long ago as Black.
11...Qc7?
Better is 11...exd3 e.p. This way black keeps White bottled up and opens the diagnols for the bishops.
12.f4?!
Risky. As was seen in the game, this abandons your dark-squares. I think it holds, but be prepared to defend. I think maybe just 12.0-0. Black can recapture the pawn of course, but in this you gain the two bishops and better pawn structure.
15.Bd2??
You're in a tough position. As stupid as it looks, kingside castling looks best, since it looks near impossible to develop your queenside bishop to a good square. Maybe the idea of 15.Nc3 and if 15...f5 16.d5
The bad thing about this now though is Black always has the possibility of perpetual check with the bishop sacrifice, if not a decisive break though. So definately a variation that I would think twice about.
