Chessiq's response: Thanks for pointing that out. (I am assuming you are correct ) - I am not that good with openings, opening names, etc. Granted, I should have researched it before giving it a name. I will do better in the future. May be I will skip the whole name thing if I am too... lazy/occupied ;-)

Thanks for the congratulations and the compliments.

Shadowc, you are right. In the notes to 10. Qc2, I meant to say Bd2, not Be2. Thanks for the catch. Hopefully, I will get time over the weekend to fix it.

Excellent game!

10. Qc2

 "Not sure about this move. I considered ...Be2 followed by ...Qc1. Or ...Rb1 and ...b4."

I think it's Bd2 what you want to say, just s little correction ;-p

Thanks and congratulations.

Nice annotation.

Nice game.

    love the commentary, thanks

Excellent game, Steve!
