Well, I really have to look up how the game editor works. But for now:
12. ... Qb4 13. Qxb4 Nxb4 14 Bb1 Bf5 gives black clear advantage. d3 is weak, white cannot castle, black is first on the c-file.
12. ... Qb4 13. Rd1 a5 and white will find it hard to get castled and is quite cramped
Also in Martin's line 16 ... Bf5 is strong.
After 25 ... Be3 it is difficult to find a square for the Bg6:
e.g. 26 Be4 Bf2+ 27 g3 Kf7 wins
seems like 26 Bh5 is best, but then white's pieces are tied on each other, the king still being exposed and once black goes b4 the Ne2 has no good square. Not to mention that the Be3 controls the square c1. How can white avoid material losses when after b4 the c-pawn starts running?
GAME 2:
I felt like I played okay in the opening, and then just played on in the ending, and then he misplayed, and I won.
TOTAL SCORE: Martin0 : 0 - 2 : skotheim2
Please feel free to analyze as you wish!
Sometime I probably should try to learn rook endgames. Casually giving up all pawns on the kingside might not have been the best idea...

Is it possible to watch this game live ?
We played the game in live chess, so if you wanted to watch it live you could go to live chess and write "/follow Martin0" or "/follow skotheim2" when we played the game. Now it is too late for game 2, but we will tell when the next game is scheduled (not scheduled yet).
Already after your move 33. Rd7, I think it is lost for white
I also think I was lost after 33.Rd7.

It's nice, this publicized match format. You prepare, you learn a lot of stuff, you realize where are your weaknesses and you really need to work on them as people are watching...
Meanwhile, I wonder how CP's tournament went today.
As regard myself, I quietly won a pretty little game in the Belgian league, in twenty moves - after I totally muddled up Jon Ludwig Hammer's advice from today's video, on how to handle 1. c4 from white (which Nakamura played against him).
I just couldn't remember anything from what he was teaching, and what I did wind up playing made absolutely no sense at all - and so obviously, I won in twenty moves (it did help that the opponent was rated 400 points lower than me, of course).
I added a direct link to the last page of thread in the spreadsheet.
