Here is an instructive game I played versus a computer. I am USCF 1657 and I had the white pieces and I set Fritz 11 with black to a rating of 1815. I set the time control for 90 minutes + 5 seconds. This is a very instructive game so please pay attention to my comments on the way through.

lol at 8. the annotation is pretty arrogant seeing as you're playing white.....just saying.....

Good very instructive game, I really enjoyed how you let Fritz's Bishop just sit there wondering when It was going to go down.  "Why capture the Bishop? It isn't going anywhere." 

I guess it does sound a little arrogant but it wasn't the intent. Most people who analyze their games usually do so in the theird person referring to "black or white". Just an uncouncious habit I picked up I guess.

Nice game. I was really impressed with the way you described some of your decisions to trade and not trade. You have a sharp tactical mind and a talent for evaluating positions.
