I think it was move 6 or 7. You moved Be6. Made him able to capture your Knight and forking your rook. That was biggest blunder that i saw.
My latest disaster. What did I do wrong? (I'm stupid!!!)

Indeed you are quite mawkish. A simpleton. A dullard. A halfwit. An idiot absent savant. Yet in spite of being dealt a doltish hand of cards in life to sluggardly muddle through, you have a special kind of grit that is self-depreciating and that’s a sure sign of humility. Actually, it’s merely insecurity posing as an imposter to your sense of megalomaniacal narcissism. You’re a kind sort of chap.

Thanks for psychoanalyzing me. But I'm just a nice insecure guy trying to get better at chess.
"... Everyman Chess has started a new series aimed at those who want to understand the basics of an opening, i.e., the not-yet-so-strong players. ... I imagine [there] will be a long series based on the premise of bringing the basic ideas of an opening to the reader through plenty of introductory text, game annotations, hints, plans and much more. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2002)

"... If the book contains illustrative games, it is worth playing these over first ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"The way I suggest you study this book is to play through the main games once, relatively quickly, and then start playing the variation in actual games. Playing an opening in real games is of vital importance - without this kind of live practice it is impossible to get a 'feel' for the kind of game it leads to. There is time enough later for involvement with the details, after playing your games it is good to look up the line." - GM Nigel Davies (2005)
"... Review each of your games, identifying opening (and other) mistakes with the goal of not repeatedly making the same mistake. ... It is especially critical not to continually fall into opening traps – or even lines that result in difficult positions ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2007)
