Thanks for the analysis! I missed that knight fork completely! That is one of my worst problems, along with backward diagonals.

Sorry for the delay recently, I've been studying for exams, anyway here's Kerplow's game.

You played the accelerated dragon. That's a terrible opening. Try the Najdorf.
Uh, it's actually the dragon, not accelerated at all.
Besides, the accelerated dragon is great.

I do like you sense of humour!
Paul, I actually don't think the author of this thread was targetting players of your grade. I think you were a little bit presumptious and posted a very long comment without understanding the facts behind the initial post which demonstrates to me that you wern't actually interested in the initial post a great deal.
um, bs_liyan, something else has gone wrong, but I managed to copy the annotations, I hope it's not too hard to follow.
1. d4 d5 2. c4 g6 A deviation from the mainline so uncommon that I cannot even find a name for it, nor can I believe it's very good. 3. Nc3 cxd5, drawing out the Queen in a Scandinavian-esque style was the best move. ( 3. cxd5 Qxd5 ( 3... Nf6 Slightly more accurate than Qxd5, this gives White to options. Qa4 which keeps the pawn, with excellent prospects. Or Nc3 which builds a big center and transposes into a Gruenfeld exchange. 4. Qa4+ c6 ( 4... Bd7? 5. Qb3! ) 5. dxc6 Nxc6 ) 4. Nc3 Qd8 5. Nf3 Nf6 6. e4 ) 3... dxc4 Either c6 or e6 would have transposed into a Slav or Semi-Slav plus ...g6. 4. e3 The most conservative of three possibilities, the other two being 4. e4 and 4. Nf3. My own preference would be for Nf3. There are a number of subtleties that support it, namely that Black's 2...g6 gave White a chance to play Nc3 a tempo sooner than White normally does in the QGA relative to Black's development. Meaning that Black cannot easily defend c4, and so White can take a moment to control e5 (With Nf3) so as to be able to more easily play the most aggressive continuation, 5. e4. 4... c6 More provocative, and probably to be preferred, was 4...Bg7 followed by 5...c5. ( 4... Bg7 5. Bxc4 c5 6. dxc5 ( 6. Nge2 cxd4 7. exd4 Nc6 ) 6... Qa5 7. Bd2 Qxc5 ) 5. Bxc4 e6!? A committal decision. Bg7 and Nf6 were preferable, so that Black could retain options regarding his c8 Bishop. 6. a3?! Time wasting I think. Nf3 and Nge2 were both better, f4 also deserved consideration, along with e4. With no shortage of options, this move, controlling b4, was a waste. Bb4 was no danger, as you could castle out of any pin. And the trade of Black's good Bishop aught be encouraged. 6... Bg7 7. Nf3 Nf6 8. Qb3!? The Queen is not well placed here, as Black wants to play ...b6, the fianchetto being his main method of developing his light-squared Bishops. 8... O-O 9. O-O Qd6 The Queen's ends up vulnerable on this square, b6 right away was better. 10. Re1 You could have pushed e4 right away if you'd wanted. 10... Ng4?! Pointless posturing, wasting of time. 11. Bd2 Nd7 12. Ne4 The next few moves being forced, I would point out that your strong central pieces are a winning advantage already. 12... Qc7 13. Bb4 Re8 14. Rad1 a5 15. Bd6 Qd8 16. Nfg5! An excellent move, threatening Bxe6. 16... b5?? Allows White a powerful combination, a4 pushing away the Queen would've sustained Black. From this point on, you were winning outright, I hope you won't mind the light annotations, but it's unnecessary as your play was more than strong enough to force a win here. 17. Be2? ( 17. Bxe6 fxe6 18. Nxe6 Qh4? ( 18... Nc5 19. N6xc5+ Kh8 ) ( 18... Rxe6 19. Qxe6+ Kh8 ) 19. Nd8+ Kh8 20. Nf7+ Kg8 21. Nh6+ Kh8 22. Qg8+ Rxg8 23. Nf7# ) 17... Bb7?? Hangs a piece, and f5 is insufficient. 18. Bxg4 f5 19. Nxe6! Rxe6 20. Qxe6+ Kh8 Had Black played a4 on his 18th or 19th move, his position would have been improved significantly, but not to the point of salvation. 21. Bxf5?! Ng5! would've saved your piece. 21... gxf5 22. Qxf5 Nf8 23. Ng5 Qe8 24. e4? Bxf8 won another piece. ( 24. Bxf8 Qxf8 25. Qxh7# ) 24... Bc8 25. Qc5 h6 26. Nf3 Ne6 27. Qf5 Ng5 28. Qc5 Nxg4, simplifying, was best. 28... Bg4 29. Rd3 Ne6 30. Qc1 Bxf3 31. Rxf3 Rd8 32. Bc5 a4 33. Rd1 Qg6 34. d5 Ng5 35. Rg3 Qxe4 36. dxc6 Rc8 37. Rgd3 Ne6 38. f3 Qxc6 39. Be3 Qe8 40. Qd2 Kh7 41. f4 Rc6 42. Rd7 Qg6 43. h3 Rc2 44. Qd5 Rxb2 45. Bc1 Re2 46. Rd2 Re1+ 47. Kh2 Rxc1 48. f5 Qf6 49. Qxe6 Qa1 50. Qg6+ Kh8 51. Rd8+ Bf8 52. Rxf8#
Ok I'm sorry, SuckerPuncher. Anyway there are no problems, people who plays counter-gambit Albin have received one comment, is that all :)
sorry george1977, wasn't fuming at anyone in particular.
