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
{Better moves here include: The natural Nf3 or the more agressive Qa4+. But this move isn't too damaging.}
5...e6 6.Bxc4 Bb4 7.Qa4+ Nc6 8.Bb5 Bxc3+ 9.bxc3 a6 10.Bd3 O-O
{I thought I'd come out of this opening ahead, but he defended very well up to this point and things are nearly equal.}

{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.}
11.Ne4 Bb7 12.Nxd6 cxd6 13.Bg5 f6 14.Bh4 Qd7 15.Bg3 Qf7

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#
