I just recently had my best personal victory. Player rated over 2200. During the game I ended up having 2 Queens and was ready to have a third, but he resigned.
It was played down at a local coffee house, 3 hours on the time clock. I gave a few variations, but would love some analysis/feedback on the game.

Wow, seems like he was willing to speculate a bit too much for a game as long as 3 hours. No offense or anything, but seems like he was going all or nothing -- the problem with heading for the position that arises after move 16 isn't the material, but the development, white is clearly winning out of the opening.
No I agree. I think it was just a standard under-estimation of his opposition. He didn't respect my ability enough to be concerned with his major lack of development. I 100% agree that he played the opening with little thought and that was really where the game was won.

Another wow from me towards his insistence on continuing the game, I think it's way off limits of proper chess ettiquette. He has a pretty resignable position at move 23 already!
Well played!
Thanks man. I agree he could have resigned earlier, but if he had I wouldn't have had been able to make move 33!
I beat a master at my club once. He kept looking away and chatting between moves -- he did it so much I eventually got a winning position. He started paying attention then, but it was too late. I was the only one to beat him that night even though he crushed me two games in a row earlier.
