Out of Step

I can't keep up/I can't keep up/I can't keep up. Out of step with the world. ~ Minor Threat I am a geezer. I like a bunch of the old punk, I like some of the new punk, and I like to talk about the punk I like. I am probably too old for tumblr, so kiss my ass if you can't take a joke.

Not my best game at all, but it was fun to take down a well-rated player on a day when I have not been playing my best. Remember kids: keep your hands off the pawns in protecting your king! http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=247243615

kafiyitis said: 10. …g5 kinda suicidal. Also you missed 23. e4! Where if black plays 23. …Qe5 or c7 (to hit the c3 knight) you play 24. exd5 Qxc3 and then 25. d6! looks good or 25. dxe6! with the idea …fxe6 26. Qd8+ Kg7 Qd7+ winning the b7 bishop. Nice mate.
