It looks like white is really lost after 7Bg5 (even if I can't convince you white is lost after 2Qf3 :p) unless black decides to do something foolish like kingside castle. I like 9..Be7 not getting too far behind in development. 12 Rh2?? I assume Qe4 going into a lost ending or Ng3 losing the bishop pair does less damage 13..Bd6 to win the whole piece rather than the exchange 15..Bxd4 why not 15..Qf6+ followed by g4 winning even more material? 34..Rh2 wins the piece for free?
Right. I agree; I feel he was behind the whole game. It was a struggle right up to the end though with the constant threat of perpetual looming in the background.
Nice pin on 13!
I'm not following you on move 15 tho...
Haha! 34 ya a force of 2 on the bishop, but is it forceful enough? I'm wondering about the lack of urgency and the response of hxg6...
Also as a side note, Rybka has pointed out that my opening reply of 3. ... d4 was dubious, immediately turning into a gambit after 4. Qd4!
on 15 the bishop pins the knight to the queen, so moving your queen with tempo maintains the pin, g5 wins the knight (well there is one response that it doesn't).
4Qd4 is not legal, perhaps you mean something else?
