I think that the key move of this game was 9. Nd5 it was very thrilling to play this game and the only reason my opponent did not resign was because when we exchanged queens I only had one minute left on my clock and only 9 seconds left at the end! I would like to know what some of you players here think of this game comments and questions will be appreciated. Thanks.
It is sure a thrilling game and both players are great.
Question: Why is it that their bishops keeps on moving or the bishop piece is the one recently use in the startgame? Victor used Bb5 to scare the opponent's knight. One of the basic principle in chess is that you can't trade your bishop for a horse, right?
Sorry for the question. I'm not a beginner, I learned chess when I was in the grade school(and Im already a freshman in college) but I offen play chess because Im busy and their is no one in our place knows how to play.

I guess you have a point about the bishop and knight exchange, but the reason that the knight can be taken by white with the bishop is to handicap the pawns for black. This helps white out a lot and usually takes a while for black to get back into the game. I chose to keep the bishop only because I really wanted to win this game and so wanted to keep the bishops just in case. Hope that answered your question.
