    Great game! Here is a giant overview of it:

    Around move 10 I didn't think you had enough compensation for the pawn.

    When you made your 14th move you were starting to get real counterplay.

    15.Ne4? was terrible. Much better for him was 15.Bd5, keeping his pawn structure intact.

    When you made your 19th you were opening all kinds of lines into his position. I would rather play black in this particular spot.

    21.dxc5?? was his worst move of the game. Much better was 21.Kh1! Qg6 22.Qg1! and he's not dead yet.

    After you won the exchange, it was the beginning of the end for him. His 27th move just compounded his mistakes. He thought he was getting real counterplay, but you crossed him up with the beautiful move 29...Rxc2+!. From there it was easy.

    The thing I really love about this game is how well you attacked. Even when you could have traded queens up material, you correctly saw that you could do better keeping them on.

    Nice game!

    Thank you for taking the time to write the overview, and your kind words! Happy to see my evaluation of the position was correct as well and that I was right to keep the queens on.

    cheers.Smile
