myself.}

23.d5 Re5
{And now he makes a bigger slip up. One mistake can be recovered from, but two in a row is tough.}

LindseyAnn v. Xorb 1-0

Well, I swear I analyzed this. It was a good game that went back and forth a lot. But for some reason there is no record of my work. Blah.

1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Nc3 Nxe4 4.Nxe4
{My favorite little opening 'trap'. It works most of the time. It's only a pawn advantage, but I always take what I can get.}

{I missed a good opportunity here with Bc4, the rook is trapped and I win the exchange.}
17.Ng2 f3
{Another missed opportunity. Nd4 threatens Nf3+ and mate to follow. It would have forced him to give up some more material.}
18.Ne3 Rh4 19.Rd1 Rd4 20.Re1 Bh6 21.b5 Na5 22.Bb2 Rd2
{Bad mistake on my part. Allows him to fork the rook and knight with Bc3.}

{Apparently from here I was destined to lose a rook.}
35.Ne3 f5
{I'm starting to fall apart at this point. I had been able to keep up the small lead, but now I've hung a pawn for no apparent reason and things go downhill from here.}
36.Nxf5 Ka5 37.Ra1
{He could have just taken on c7 and started devastating my seventh rank with his rook.}
37...Rd3
{A better move would have been Rd1 and we trade, and I win the a-pawn and I'm well on my way to queening (or at least drawing).}

{stupid}

{I could have got myself into trouble here. He had the tactic 10.Ng5 Qf6 11. Bxf7+ Kd7 12. Bxd5, and he could have really gotten in there with this bishop and knight. Good thing for me he did not follow that line at all.}

8...dxc3
