Today's Practice Game

Another game against my friend NickH. I played white and opened with e4 and he replied with the the Caro-Kann defense, an opening that I have no experience playing against. I tried to simply play quality moves, but lost a pawn in the opening, something I do far to often. The game was going okay until I failed to do a blunder check and castled which resulted in my losing a piece. From that point on it was to difficult to overcome such a material advantage for a player as good as Nick.
