Today I played in the 133rd Knight's Quest chess tournament.  Here is my first round game (the next three rounds will be in separate posts). Any analysis/advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.

The last time I played in a Knight's Quest tournament, I played against this same opponent with the same color, and we drew.  It was nice to have a rematch happy.png  This time I was more prepared.

I played black.

 
Off to a good start.

26. Qe1 looked interesting.

 

Edit:

25. ... Qe1

I don't think Qe1 really does much.  I lose the f7 pawn and I haven't really made any progress.  The computer says Ne5 was the best
