Pretty Mate for me

Game I played today, neither of us made any (very) obvious blunders in the opening and I ended up with a bishop pair which worked very well.

Enjoy, and constructive criticism is always welcome.

Also does anyone know what the opening he played is called? I had never encountered it before!

Thanks. I see something a bit similar quite often which is

1. e4, c5

2.exc5, Qxc5

Yes that is right, whoops.

No obvious piece blunders that I saw, but he commits positional suicide giving you the open e file and then letting your rook penetrate to the 2nd rank.  It takes you, what? Three moves to execute his royal highness from there? Well and accurately done.  

You came out of the openning better. After 10 moves you had better development and space was virtually even. His exchanging didn't help matters, afterwhich you dominated the center.

Nice game!

 No piece blunders is about what I meant. My chess eye is not so adequately developed that I can assess positional blunders, (besides I likely make about 20 of these a game) but I did have sense to realize that the bishop pair and file would be a nice advantage to have.

Thanks a lot!

That was a fun endgame to watch.  Your opponent seemed to move from a center game to a Ruy Lopez, which I know is not an uncommon variation, but it almost seemed like a fallback plan, rather than the initially intended development.  I'm surprised someone would use the center game, since typically most people find it very weak against black.  Yet again, I hafta agree with others' sentiments: your conclusion was fantastic, remarkably intelligent.

lol, thanks alot.
