Zenchess: Black was better until 24...Qe5?, allowing White all kinds of activity. The simple 24...e5 would have kept Black's material advantage intact.

Zenchess: <Ulhumbrus> In the line you gave me, White doesn't have to fall in with Black's plans. Simply 19. Bxf3! Rxf3 20. Qxc6, hitting the Rook on a8. White is two pawns up; they look rickety, but I don't see any way Black can coordinate his pieces any time soon.

Zenchess: Instead of 23. Nc3?!, which does nothing, White could have tried to make hay with Knight vs. Bad Bishop with 23. Nc5! That was the whole point of his Na4 play.

Zenchess: Better is 7. O-O or 7. Na3 instead of 7. Qc2?!. With that move, White gets his Queen pushed around throughout the early stages of the game.

Zenchess: Instead of 13...Nc6?, 13...Bxf3! and 14...Bxd4 lead to a Black advantage. I have no idea what Black was thinking in this game.

Zenchess: Yes, Rd8? was the main mistake here. 17...O-O is book.

Zenchess: 21...f5?? was suicidal. 21...Rh8!, contesting the open file, appears to hold.

Zenchess: Isn't White just better after 32. Kc4 instead of 32. Nc4??
