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.d4 d5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3 dxc4 4.e3 Bg4 5.Qc2

{This has been a quiet game so far. Now he's allowing me to undouble my pawns, but nothing too dramatic.}
8...cxd5 9.exd5 O-O 10.Nc3 b5
{Preparing Bb7, but Bg4 pinning his knight was probably better.}

1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 f6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.e3 b5 6.a4 b4 7.Ne4 Qd5 8.Ned2 Ba6
{This is going okay for me so far, since he's stuck using all his pieces to defend
the pawn on c4.}
9.Qc2 Nd7 10.Nxc4 g5
{Once again, this is pawnstorm. He gets to people with his crazy pawn moves, but if you can navigate safely through the opening you can usually come out on top.}
11.Bd3 O-O-O 12.O-O
{Really, I should have played e4, push his queen back and exploit some tactics on the loose king.}
12...Bb7 13.Rd1 g4 14.Ne1
{This move looks a bit less active than Nfd2, but I think I wanted to keep an eye on the g2 square.}
14...a5 15.b3
{Apparently, if I'd just played Bf5, I could have won his queen for a bishop and knight. I briefly looked at it, but couldn't see where the computers logic was coming from. I'll need to look back over this later.}
15...h5 16.Bf5 e6
{I can feel the queen getting hemmed in.}
17.Be4 Qg5 18.Bd3 f5 19.e4 f4 20.g3 e5 21.dxe5 Bc5 22.Bxf4
{The only way to get this guy is to pick off the pawns he makes weak by storming.}
22...Qg6 23.Qb2 Ne7 24.Bc2 Nb6 25.Nd6+ Bxd6 26.exd6 Ng8
{His first big mistake that lets me get a big leg up. He doesn't make a lot of big
mistakes so i'm glad I didn't miss it.}
27.Qxh8
{I missed here that Qe5 was better. He can't retreat the rook because after d7+ no matter what he takes back with Qb8 is mate., so he has to play Rd7 then I can take the rook and he has to play his queen back to the 8th rank to stop me from taking the knight.}
27...Nf6 28.e5
{I'm a fan of this fork.}
28...Rxh8 29.Bxg6 Nfd5 30.Rac1 Nc3 31.Rd4
{This was my big mistake, which he also didn't miss. I think I do an alright job of not loosing my head over it and regaining composure.}
31...Ne2+ 32.Kf1 Nxd4 33.Be3 Ba6+ 34.Bd3 Bxd3+ 35.Nxd3 Nf5
{He really should have played Nxb3 here, breaking the pin with a threat on my rook.}
36.Bxb6 Nd4
{Classic downward spiral. I don't think he ever recovers from this, but you will get to see how terrible I can be at endgames.}
37.Bxd4 Kd7 38.Bb6 h4 39.Bxa5 hxg3 40.hxg3 c5 41.Nxc5+ Ke8 42.d7+ Ke7 43.d8=Q+ Rxd8 44.Bxd8+ Kxd8 45.e6 Ke7 46.a5 Kd6 47.a6 Kc7 48.a7 Kd6 49.a8=Q Ke5 50.e7 Kf6 51.e8=Q Kg5 52.Qf7 Kh6 53.Qh8+ Kg5 54.Qhg7#

1.d4 d5 2.h4
{Only two moves and he's shown that this should be an easy game for me.}
2...Nc6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Ng5 e5 5.dxe5 Nxe5 6.Rh3
{And I win the exchange.}

10...Bxg5 11.Bxg5 Qxg5 12.Qxd5 Rad8
{This move was not the best, I could have forced a queen trade with Qd1+, but I knew if I hung onto my queen I could win soon. And, I was correct in this assumption.}

1.e4 e5 2.Qf3
{A silly move to play against someone who isn't a complete idiot.}
2...Nf6 3.Nc3 Nc6 4.Nge2 d6 5.h3 Be7 6.g4
{Do keep in mind his name is pawnstorm.}
6...O-O 7.a3 Nd4 8.Qd3 Nxe2 9.Bxe2 Be6 10.Qg3 c6
{It would have been slightly better to just play d5, instead of preparing to play it when it's already playable.}
11.d3 Qa5 12.b4 Qc7 13.Bd2 d5 14.b5 dxe4 15.d4 Bd6 16.d5
{None of these pawn thrusts were entirely sound, but he gets under my skin very well this way.}
16...cxd5
{From this position, I have a solid lead.}
17.g5 Nd7 18.O-O d4
{My first mistake of the game. I got over confident about the strenght of my center and I hung the e4 pawn.}
19.Nxe4 Qxc2 20.Bd3
{This was a very good move on his part and most of my lead is slipping away.}
20...Qc7 21.Nf6+
{If I'd not taken the knight things would have been terrible for me. But there was no way I wasn't going to take the knight and so things become terrible for him.}
21...Nxf6 22.gxf6 g6 23.Qg5 Qd8 24.Qh4 Rc8 25.Bg5 Re8 26.Qh6 Bf8
{He's had me on the ropes this whole time, but theoretically I'm better. I just can't afford to make any mistakes.}
27.Qh4 Qd5 28.Bh6 Red8
{This was the mistake I couldn't afford to make. I needed that bishop for defense and now I've allowed it to be traded.}
29.Bxf8 Kxf8 30.Qxh7 Ke8 31.Bxg6
{All of my material advantage is now gone.}
31...Kd7 32.Be4 Qxb5 33.Bf5 Rc6
{This was probably my worst mistake. Had I played Kd6 instead, gotten away from his attack, picked off a few more of his pawns, I'd have been fine. That was not how it went down though...}
34.Bxe6+
{He did not take full advantage of my blunder, but I had already psycologically lost this game.}
34...Kxe6 35.Rfe1 Kxf6
{Now I really got greedy, or lazy or both and missed the totally obvious response Qh4+ winning my rook.}
36.Qh4+ Ke6 37.Qxd8 Rd6 38.Qh4 d3
{Well, sometimes you gotta go for it.}
39.Qg4+ Ke7 40.Rab1 Qa5

{Forced mate from here and I'm done for.}
42.Qxd7+ Kf6 43.Qxf7+ Kg5 44.Re7 Qxa3
{This was the on chance I had. Qxe1+ wins a rook, gets me some tempo and could have turned things around. But I took the pawn instead.}

{I saw the opportunity to forcefully bring my dark square bishop into the game, and i did not miss it. His king is in big trouble.}
