  keypusher: The Vulture against such a strong master may not have been a good idea, but my kindly opponent told me afterwards he thought my position would have been OK after 13...Qa6 (14.Nxc5? Bd4+). But after 13...Bd4+ 14.Nxd4 cxd4 15.Qxd3! dxc3 16.b4!, I was so positionally dead I might just as well have resigned on the spot. I dragged it out to move 29, but my knight never moved.

  OhioChessFan: 13...Qa6 is counter intuitive for sure. It would be hard to put the Queen on the only square the Knight had a prayer of moving to.

  OhioChessFan: I tossed it in Fritz10 and he gives a small advantage to Black after 13..Qa6. And he follows up with d6 intending an eventual Nd7 which I thought was bad. Both of which proves I don't know much about chess.
