This was a 15 minute game I played earlier today. While our play was far from perfect, the game was interesting to me because it flew in the face of conventional chess ideas and produced some extremely unusual situations. Even though White's moves are strange, they are not weak.

It's my first attempt to annotate a game. Please tell me what you think. Thanks!

Very nice game. I particularly liked 17. h6, nice energetic move. I believe though that you were only able to get away with lagging behind in development due to the very closed nature of the position. In an open game such play would probably not be best. I may be wrong however - I'm kind of a morphy disciple, so everytime I see someone one move behind in development I feel like he should be punished severly, which is quite stupid. I probably think so because half of my wins are acquired because of a development lead..

Am I missing something, or could 32. Ke4 Ng3 worked for the fork on the rook?  Removes the threat of double rooks on the H file and trades a knight for a rook.

Nicely done!  And I don't think White's moves were strange at all.
