I finally won against sigma chess!

Finally! I was reading Loomis's blog post about greek gifts (http://blog.chess.com/Loomis/two-more-greek-gifts) and liked the idea of putting the knight on g5 and then planting my queen on h7 for the win. This idea lead me to my first win against Sigma Chess, which has been the bane of my newbie chess existence for quite sometime now.

Hi aabbccdd, yeah I guess that is the english defense! I didnt know what the english was until i read your post about it. I play a lot against computers and they always seem to use this. Usually I like to push my e pawn up but the english makes it really freggin hard!

Now that I look at move 22 again, I notice that I was right the first time! If I play 22. Bd4 Rxe1 23. Rxe1 Qxd4 which leads me to losing my bishop! I guess I should change the game annotations to mention that!
