I usually open seeks in live and wait, often playing against people my own strength, and every now and then, someone who is quite strong. I look forward to those games because they're usually learning opportunities. Anyway, i opened a seek and here's what followed...

Well played . And this is further proof as to why book openings are best. They stand the trial of time, and also why a person should not move a piece twice during the opening. And just for the record, "bullys" is supposed to be spelled *bullies*.
thx...stupid english degree

12. Bb6 wins the queen. 12.Nb6 (as played) is less powerful, i.e.: Rb8 13.Qd5 Nd6! 14.nxe5 nxe5 15.Qxe5+ Be7.
impressed with the flashy tactics at the end! I advise the next 1400 who tangles with you to beware...

In addition to your 18th move, there were a couple of other crushes possible: 18 Nxc6+ Be7 19 Nc7+ Kf8 20 Rxd6 and 18 Nxf7 Kxf7 19 Nf4+.

ne5 was top class posionally black could of done better but you did everything right good game
Good eyes on the queen grab. I can't see things like this yet. Hopefully soon.
Please refer to my comment concerning eyes and how mine aren't at this level:) Thx for the line though. I really like it, especially since it takes the piece he moved back to defend with. Tasty.
