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.

{Termination "White king mated" Mode "ICS" DateLastMove "2008.1.13" Board "4349497"}
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Bc5 5.Bb5 Qf6
{I missed the whole point of playing Bc5 which is to force him to defend the knight again. He didn't and I totally missed 5...Nxd4 winning the knight.}
6.Be3 Nge7
{Once again the knight is attacked three times and only defended twice.}
7.Nc3 O-O
{I was never going to see it.}
8.Bxc6 Nxc6 9.Nf5 d6 10.Nd5 Qxb2
{For once my pawn gobbling was the right move.}
11.O-O Bxe3
{I'm not really sure what possessed me to make this move. It does double his pawns, but it brings his rook right into the thick of things.}
12.fxe3 Qe5 13.Nfe7+ Kh8
{How I managed to win this game is beyond me. I could have played 13...Nxe7 14. Nxe7 Qxe7 and he's thrown away all his knights. Apparently I was unable to count defenders in this game. Then again, nether was he.}
14.Rf5
{He finally makes a move that is so blatantly bad I can't possibly miss it.}
14...Bxf5 15.exf5
{This was whites key error. He is never able to regain stability and thankfully I took the time to find the right move and capitalize.}
15...Nxe7 16.Nxc7 Qxe3+ 17.Kf1
{Yet another sub par move. His king would have been much safer at h1.}
17...Nxf5
{I'm sure I was chasing mate when I let the rook hang. The mate was coming, but not as soon as I thought.}
18.Nxa8 Rxa8 19.Qd5
{It would have been better for him to play 19. Qd3 and trade down a bit to relief some of the pressure I was putting on his king.}
19...Qf4+ 20.Ke2
{This puts him into a forced mate. I get halfway there and then trail off, but I get it eventually.}
20...Re8+ 21.Kd3 Re3+ 22.Kd2 Qf2+
{This is were I lost the mate line. Mate is 22...Qb4+ 23. Kc1 Re1+ 24. Qd1 Qa3+ 25. Kd2 Qe3#}
23.Kc1 Re1+ 24.Kb2 Ne3
{This was not the best move. There was a proper response to it, but I was hedging my bets on him snatching the pawn and allowing me to win the queen.}
25.Qxd6 Nc4+
{Apparently there is a crazy forced mate if I'd played Qxc2 instead. I was content to take the queen knowing that mate would follow in time.}
26.Kb3 Nxd6 27.Rxe1 Qxe1 28.g4 Qe6+
{Get ready for it.}
29.Kb4 Qc4+ 30.Ka3 Qb5 31.h4 Nc4#
{White king mated. I like this mate, as I like any mate that involves the crazy knight.}
0-1
