 Are you being serious or joking?

I am not an expert in d-pawn openings or an expert player period but I don't really see anything wrong with how she played the opening; if you're serious, is there a reason to why the game opening was not played to how you like it? Your rating would suggest you know more (maybe way more) than I do so I don't know if there was anything wrong with the way the opening was played.

"Qxd7 loses for Black" might be the funniest game annotation I've ever seen on chess.com ... Black being down a rook, everything loses for Black.

Well it's my personal opinion, I am definetly not an opening expert. I just don't see the point of playing 6. Ne5 and then after b5 still bring it back to e5? Also, note how the c1 bishop was stuck on a back rank until move 22. All because of pawns on e3 and e5. That's why i said i didn't like this pawn set up

 You're right, black is down in material but with Qxd7 will equalize. Maybe I should have been more specific with my comment, sorry.

Just played through it. White played well. In the opening, I would likely have preferred Nxd6 after ...b5, to play against the c8 bishop. Too bad black blundered the rook.

p.s. I thought the Qxd7 comment was fine. It shows the casual viewer that the rook is en prise.

 Yes, thank you, I think that is a very good idea. Play with my bishop pair against his lone Bishop.

The game was going well until my opponent blundered the Rook. I actually felt that he had the upper hand for a while.
