Where did I go wrong??

Submitted by fzweb on Sun Oct 18, 2009 10:25pm.

This game was interesting because: 1. He played the Scotch-something I am not familiar with 2. During the game, his rating went from about 1510 to 1886. 3. I was too friendly with this guy and hinted that I had some tactical shots (which he adm... Read more »
