Hey all -

Haven't posted for a while, but not for lack of good games!.. (also been having some great OTBs!)

Here's a quick miniature amongst a slew I had today with this opponent -  many nice mates/maneuvres in most of them - but this last one seemed a great way to end our series.

This 17 move game, though seemingly positional at first

, shows the true lethal nature of the e-pawn, particularly when White forces off Black's e-pawn with an uncastled King!
Take a look:

What about 18. Bb4 Na6.

13.Nxe6!? was a dangerous unclear move -- your N is skewered against the Q... Black can play 13...c5!? with a really messy dogfight about erupt after perhaps Ng2+ Kf7
