hi all, this is my first post to the forum. this game makes me wonder. I hope it gets posted correctly. The move '18. Nd2' was, from my perspective, a blunder. The intention was, to finally bring the knight into game and help defending against the queen. but it was uncovered, and free for the queen to capture. I was worried but my opponent didn't see it. puh. But wait, Stockfish finds, it was 'Brillant'. Thanks, but no. it wasn't. was it? I just don't see it. thanks for your opinions.
