Hi all,
This is my first post in this forum. I've not had a lot of good luck improving my game lately. Having struggled to best anyone over 1300 but this was a match where I thought it came together nicely and maybe, just maybe showed that I might have turned a corner. On the other hand... If you've read any of my other posts, this game (i.e. chess) has a funny way of smacking us down just when we think we got it. I would do well to be... cautious. But the game is a good one I think. Against a worthy adversary too. Hope you enjoy it.

Several errors.
White missed 13 Bxg8
Black Missed 16...Qxe5

Some good stuff there. One thing is that 22. Ne6+ Nxe6 23. dxe6 is not a knight sac as you recaptured the knight. And wat was up with all of the fishing quotes?
Thanks for the info. I was not aware that that was not a true sac (i say somewhat obtusely) I've been playing this game for 20+ years and still learning basic stuff I guess. Fishing just having fun, I guess.
