A nice queen pin

In this game, you will see me take advantage of a positional weakness in my opponent, pinning his queen against his king after trading my knight for his (thus removing my only obstacle).  Check it out!

If 10)...Bg5 (one move earlier) you have the pin.

But if 11) Ne2  Bg5, 12) f4 your pin is gone.  White loses a pawn but your pin is no more.

So you missed the winning move, but your opponent made three dumb moves in a row (starting with 0-0-0), and he basically saved the pin for you, by playing 11) Nb5.

Sorry.
