For a long time now, I've been collecting and analyzing my games. All analysis is aided by a computer and I am most certainly a hopeless patzer. Some of these games are interesting, some are terrible, but all of them are mine and they live on this site so I can perhaps learn from them.
If you play through my games on the embedded boards, my commentary should be integrated in all recent games. Unless noted, all games are correspondence games.

1.e4 e5 2.g3
{I already knew I'd have a slight advantage here since playing Bg2 would be pointless with the pawn on e4}
2...Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nf3 d5 5.Bd3 Be6 6.O-O d4 7.Nb5
{This move was a bit weak since it allowed me to harrass the knight futher}
7...a6 8.Na3 Bxa3
{Ruining his queen-side pawns}
9.bxa3 O-O 10.a4 Qe7 11.Rb1 b6 12.Rb3
{A mistake on my opponents part}
12...Bxb3 13.cxb3 Nb4 14.Ba3 a5
{Instead of this I should have played c5. I'm not really sure what I was thinking, but in the end it didn't make a big difference.}
15.Nh4 Qe6 16.Qa1 Nxd3
{When I played this move I totally missed the responce of Bxf8. However, it seems that trading a rook for two bishops (when I was already up a rook for a bishop) was the move the computer would have made.}
17.Bxf8 Rxf8 18.Qb1 Nc5 19.Rc1 Qg4 20.f3 Qh5 21.b4 Ne6
{Now the pawn on c7 is covered and I begin to attack on the kingside}
22.bxa5 bxa5 23.Kg2 Qg5
{This is one of those pins that ends eventually, but no one seems to realize
it...}
24.Rd1 Nf4+ 25.Kf2 Nh3+ 26.Kf1 Nf4
{En prise. My attack was poorly thought out. Although I managed to step it up while he dropped the ball a bit.}
27.Kf2 Qh5 28.Ng2
{Mistake followed by another. Downward sprial.}
28...Qxh2 29.Rg1 Nh3+ 30.Ke2 Nxg1+ 31.Kd3 Qxg2 32.Qb7 Qf1+
{At this point, I apparently miss a bunch of mate in 9s. But, I probably won't loose any sleep over them.}
33.Kc2 Qc4+ 34.Kb2 Qb4+
{By doing this I miss a mate, but I thought it would be best to simplify
and lesson the chances that I make a blunder.}
35.Qxb4 axb4 36.a5 Nxf3 37.a6 Nxe4 38.a7 Ra8 39.Kb3 c5
{White resigned} 0-1
