I think "interesting move" is fine but if you said "good move" or "bad move" or anything like that, that's definitely frowned upon in a rated game. It's fine here though. I made my comment not because of what you said, more to encourage others.

Thanks for flipping the board. And I just want to say, as this is a casual game, I'm quite happy for observers to comment. Obviously discussing live tactics or suggesting moves is not something I want to see, but talking about who is better, and missed tactics (when they are no longer relevant), that's fine by me. I'll share some of my thoughts as I go, I mean Mark already knows I intend to exploit the weakness of g6, either directly by using it as an outpost, or indirectly by stopping him ever playing f6/f5. It will be interesting to see if and when Mark does move the f-pawn.

At the moment, I'm not using an analysis tool, just mentally calculating, but that might change.

Complete agreement.
