Developing a Weakness in Chess 960

Continuing my plunge into Chess 960 I'll show a game where I didn't play very well. During the opening I failed to recognize  that I created a weakness in my position and my development choices gave me a difficult time defending it. Only by some inaccurate play from my opponent did I manage to get an equal position and then an advantage. Heading into the endgame I allowed the chance for a draw and was lucky my opponent missed it.

    Thanks for shearing, the notes were good and explanatory. I try to have at least one 960 game running, I like the way you have to start thinking right off, rather than relying on book moves.
