Southern Open Game Two
01 Aug '10 20:361 editHere's the second game-aLeningrad Dutch by transposition.
I misplayed the Opening, and later decided to sac the exchange instead of losing a pawn, thinking that I would be able to control the center and get more value out of my minor pieces than he would out of his rooks.
The idea is probably circumspect, but it was G/75, and I ultimately ended up a piece.
At move 37. I thought ...Bxf2+ and ...h6 were interchangeable, but they weren't- I missed that 38. Kg2 would allow his rook to come to the h-file. I think black would still be on top after ...Qh6, but I'm not sure.
The game was lost at that point. We were both in some time pressure, and I missed the remaining moves, but he finished the game with good technique.
