JedStuart - airborne143rd
Here is a game I recently played against airborne143rd, I'll go over what I was thinking and then hopefully players who are way better than me can tell me where I went wrong. Here goes.
1.e4 e6 2. f4
Here I wanted to play something aggressive, and this seemed like a playable opening
... d5 3. e5 c5 4. Ng1f3 Nb8c6 5. c3 f6
I think he blundered here and weakened his f file
6. Bf1d3
I don't know why I did this, seemed like it was a good idea at the time... I block in my pawn, but I felt like I should eventually move him to c2 (I saw this in an opening theory book so I just went with it)
...Qd8b6 7. exf6 Ng8xf6
Again I chumped it up I was trying to remove his pawn from the f file, but got so excited that I completely overlooked that it developed his knight... whoops!
8. O-O c4 9. Kg1h1 cxd3
Mega blunder. I was so focused on my own plan that I didn't realize what my opponent was setting up. All I could think about was smashing the f file relentlessly, then making a beautiful sacrafice and winning... unfortunately this game didn't turn out that way, most don't.
10. Nf3e5
Puts him at a good outpost, and if taken, nothing is blocking the f file any longer and I can attack
...Nc6xe5 11. fxe5 Nf6e4 12. Qd1f3 Qb6c7
I don't think he has to defend against my threat. I was looking at Bc5 and my head started to hurt.
13. Nb1a3 Bc8d7 14. Qf3f7 Ke8d8
Here I'm just trying to get my pieces developed as the stupid pawn at d3 is choking the crap out of me. His queen no longer protects f7, so I take a stab.
15. b3 Qc7xe5
This capture surprises me... again I get so caught up in developing my pieces that I forget what my opponent is doing.
16. Bc1b2 Bf8d6 17. g3 Ne4xg3 18. hxg3 Qe5xg3 19. Qf7f2 Qg3h3 20. Kh1g1 Bd7c6 21. Ra1e1 d4
He centralizes his queen and then attacks quite strongly, I crumbled under the attack.
Besides my big blunder I felt like this game could've lasted a lot longer than 22 moves. I think that instead of the queen stab at f7 I should've taken the pawn on d3 and tried to unclog the middle. Does anyone else have any insightful analysis? Airborne is playing from his phone so he can't post, but if you have better moves for him feel free to post those too.

Colin
