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
{I love the Queen's Gambit. It's normally the only opening I ever play. This is the Marshall Variation, and it is customary for white to respond with 3. cxd5. That isn't really my style though, and I'll normally always play Nc3 on the third move.}
3...Nc6 4.Nf3 b6 5.e3 Bg4 6.cxd5 Nxd5 7.Be2
{Not the most aggressive placement of my bishop, but I hate pins.}
7...Nxc3 8.bxc3 g6 9.O-O Bg7 10.Qc2
{I made this move with the intention of playing Qe4. I knew there were a lot of defenses to this fork, but...}
10...O-O 11.Qe4 Qd6
{...he chose not to play the proper defense of Bd7 (although, this is another example of me relying on my opponents to make a mistake).}
12.Qxg4 a5 13.Qe4 f5 14.Bc4+ Kh8 15.Qh4
{According the computer, Qe6 is slightly better. But, I was going for a crushing king-side attack.}
15...e5 16.Ng5 h5
{This move I don't understand at all. 16...h6 would have gotten rid of my super powerful knight. Instead he's further weakened his king's position.}
17.Nf7+
{I was proud of finding this tactic, since this is the sort of thing that I miss a lot. After this I'm a bishop and an exchange.}
17...Rxf7 18.Bxf7 exd4 19.Qg5
{Sure, this move lets me take out the g-pawn, but his (eventual) c-pawn ends up being a pain for me later on. It would have been better to just take cxd4.}
19...dxc3 20.Bxg6 c2 21.Qxh5+
{Well, apparently I shouldn't have worried about his c-pawn, and I should have played 21. Bb2 because 21...Bxb2 would lead to a Mate in 3.}
21...Kg8 22.Bxf5 Qf6
{Bb2 would still be the best response, but I don't play it.}
23.Qh7+ Kf7 24.Bxc2 Qxa1 25.Bb3+
{Things are getting bleak for him. I'm not concerned about my missing rook, because my bishops and queen will dominate the rest of the game.}
25...Kf6 26.e4
{So, I missed a mate in 6 here. I'm not too distraught about that. I knew that getting my pawns in on the action would seal the deal.}
26...Qe5 27.f4 Qe8 28.Qh4+ Kg6 29.f5#
{I especially love it when pawns deliver mate.} 1-0
