I would just like to point out that you transposed to the Two Knights after 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nc6, 4. c3 does not make any sense and 5. Bxf7+ is not sound.
You also missed some very simple mates starting with 22...Qe1+, 23...Qe1+ and even 24...Qe1+. This comentary is by no means complete, I just mentioned the obvious.
What would you have done: 3. d5 ??
See that's why I didn't play 3. d5. Instead I wound up a center pawn and transposed into something that I recognized and looked stable.
That I know. Thanks for the analysis.
At least I'm playing a lot and getting a chance to make mistakes. I generally play people rated 1250 - 1450 on FICS so I lose almost all of my games but I generally do go 30-50+ moves and I learn a lot.
No I would have played 3...Nc6. Just letting you know that you transposed to a position with a large body of accumulated theory and you should be prepared for (a) 4. Ng5, (b) 4. d4 and (c) 4. d3. You should also avoid the trap 4. O-O Nxe4 5. Nc3 Nxc3 6. dxc3 Bc5?? 7. Ng5 Rf8 (7...O-O 8. Qh5 h6 9. Nxf7 is a crushing attack) 8. Rf8 Bxf7 9. Rxf7 Nxf7 10. Kxf7 Qd5+ picking up the lose bishop. 6...f6 accepts the gambit, 6...Be7 7. Qd5 O-O 8. Nxe5 Nxe5 9. Qxe5 declines it with an equal and virtually unwinable position.
So, I've been seeing tons of guys coming at my black pieces with the bishop's opening here at the ~1100 level. This opening is a pretty surefire way to shut this down. It seems as though anything with the name Berlin in it is a candidate as a solid refutation.
