Posting a (non computer) game I lost last night

9. Re2? I like 9.Be3 if Nxe3, 10.f2xe3 and you have a nice pawn majority in the center. Ofcourse dropping the knight on F3 was unfortunate could have been avoided instead of 18. Kg2, Kg3 instead looks safer. Great game John hope to see more :)

Thanks for checking it out man! I believe the reason I guarded it with the rook instead of playing Be3 was because I didn't want to double my pawns and lose that pawn on the f-file which i've heard weakens your king's safety. I know its a common thing for weaker players to be afraid of doubling their pawns... should have realized that at the time. I'll be posting at least 5 more games because i'm committed to this league for 5 more weeks.

Sorry for all the "comment deleted" posts. I had a struggle trying to figure out how to post my game until I had some help. This game was last night during my local chess club's meeting. I found out after the game the gentleman I was playing was rated much higher than me. I lost pretty badly as white
