Thanks ScY- for the post, I know 10.Be2 was a waste of a move, but I was in a bit of a fog, and I wasn't thinking clearly quite yet. As for Qf3, well, I had decided on a Kingside attack, so I was simply moving my Queen thataway in an inconspicuous manner... I.E. attacking the c6 pawn.

Well, I suppose I should learn a bit about the Alekhine, I've had 4-6 games so far against it, usually against higher rated players. Really though, I need to stick with my KIA when this happens. (I will look at the games, however... Spassky=Great!)

Well, I'll post the ending from move 60, but for some reason I can't change the PGN file without remaking the entire game.
