i played terribly. went down two pieces because of stupidity. got myself in terrible position. he lost his queen due to the same thing. he came close to a mate but i managed to sacrifice my queen to stay in the game. he managed to play some stupid moves.. good ol quick games.

note to self: don't log on if you're burnt out

You actually didn't play that bad!

7. Bd6 is your first mistake as that costs you a pawn.

But you managed to fight your way back into the game. I'd rather have Queen and Rook than 2 Rooks and Bishop :)

Well, the most glaring thing is White missed a mate in 1 on move 37, Rxa7

very true.. and not only that.. he blundered away 1 rook (and the game) with 41. Rxh5.. not enough with that, he blundered away his other rook with 46. Rh7+

2 blunders, game over.. :D
