My first club game

My first club game

Below is my first game played OTB in a chess club. I played against the oldest member (apparantly 91 years old) who was rated around 1630. There was a very nice atmosphere, but I was still a bit tense. Maybe that would help explain some inaccuracies in the opening (in particular 14. Ne4? had me sweating for black's reply).

I obtained a winning position, but when I opted for the strongest continuation I missed blacks strongest reply. If only I had thought it through then nothing would have been lost, but I think I was unreasonably startled. What follows is an endgame that should have been won, becomes drawn after a few inaccuracies and lost after a misguided king move.

In general though I had good fun and having played my first club game I'm quite sure the next one can only be better . The game is below annotated with the aid of Fritz 10.
