A pretty good game

Hey guys!  Here is a 15 min. live chess game I have played recently.  I think I handled it pretty well, but I could be wrong.

I'm better than my rating suggests, I've just been on a losing streak here lately, so please don't let my rating fool you.

I also congratulate my opponent on a well-played game.  His opening choice wasn't the best, but he still played a pretty good game.

I've provided annotations and variations to give you guys an idea on what I was planning as well as my take on what he was thinking.

I hope you enjoy looking at this game!

Ah I see.  Okay, thanks for the insight.  By the way, what did you think of the conintuations I think would have taken place had he not disconnected?

I tried to think of sensible moves, but there were probably stronger moves.

StrategicusRex

Yeah, I was thinking of how white could make it hard for black to obtain a victory and keep the blunder chances at maximum.

wow, you know a lot but you dont put it into practise! you talk about threats and then dont play the move you was talking about!!!

StrategicusRex

Well I was second-guessing a lot of the moves and I was hesitant with a lot of them.  I've also been on a losing streak mostly due to stupid moves, so I was a little paranoid in this game.

The note to your 9th move "Not fxe6?, which gives me doubled e pawns and one less pawn on the kingside, which I would think is not good when it's the side on which your king is castled!" is of instructional value. Taking back with the f-pawn is by no means a mistake. The doubled pawns are not weak since they stand on a closed file and thus cannot be attacked easily, and you also have the capacity to take the center with ...d5. ...Qxe6 is not a bad move either, since Black can open the f-file anyway with ...f5, but it is good to know that doubled pawns don't have to be burdensome!

I know doulbed pawns are not always a burden......but for some reason, I had the feeling that they would become problemic later on.
