The play is quite brilliant, however! I just can't play this sort of chess.

The play is quite brilliant Really nice, a kind of Bishop variation hook mate. I particularly like your 15th move, well played sir 🙂

Joined 08 Apr '09 Moves 19509 It's like white has given black all the chance to occupy the queenside with pawns, and then at one point decides to move his pieces onto blacks side of the board and finds a win. I would probably have played Qxd4 somewhere instead.

how nice - really enjoyable game! also, it almost looks like a hook mate, just with a bishop! that calls for GPs blog...

Nice game. However I'm liking here:
9.Bd5 instead of 9.Re1. It's a nice clean win of a bit.
Fat Lady is correct.
When looking for the killer always look at check-check-ckeck and mate lines first.
They are easier to calculate as they are forcing moves. He must get out check.
So you cut down on the chances on making a blunder.
