Any comment on this game.
Anyone tries to destroy your Bird again - you smack him straight in the face, OK?
I think White would have been better off with 6. Bb5 instead of 6. fe, I think the game was equal until 9. Be2. White should want more than equality, but he's definitely not busted. After 9. Be2 the game gets ugly quick, but those knight moves were anything BUT ugly. That was nice coordination and initiative.
It's too early for White to resign IMO. After Kf1 Ng3+ he drops the Exchange, but there's still a lot of chess to be played. He does retain the Bishop pair and has an open b-file to work with.
We are not talking about the bird, I admit it is horrible...
But I hate to see these, Nc6 then e5, they make me lose my cool-blood, I usally panick when I see that I musk let go of a center form by e4 plus d4 or e5 plus d5, except in the pirc.

After reading your post, I think the same thing. I have recently drawn two games on the site that I should have lost, and I think it may be a mistake to assume quality endgame technique for anyone whose 4-digit rating doesn't begin with a "2".
I wouldn`t resign that Bird game either.
The original game of post id like to comment on i looked at it a couple times but unfortunately its to difficult for me to think of anything to say
about it.
I think it was a good game though.
Seems like both players are tough to me.
Perhaps White could come up with something better than 14.f4 in that first game maybe .
