I don't know exactly *what* I was thinking about here, just trying to play
quickly and economically and prop up the d-pawn. This allows white several
free shotes (eg b5).} 8. cxd4 {?} 8... Bxd4 9. Nbd2 9... Bb6 {?! 
..Bg4 pinning the knight better in many respects

14. Nxd7 Qxd7 15. e5 15... Nxe5 {I was quite calm about the loss of the b-pawn
since I was swapping down and still keeping position, though this breaks up
the pawns. Nd5 would have been a far more stable choice.} 16. Qxd7+ 16... Nexd7
{?! I was more afraid of the pin with the rook than actually looking just a
little deeper} 17. Re1+ Kf8 18. Bxb7 Re8 19. Bd2 19... g5 {? negative play} (

down a bit.} 22. Bc6 Ne5 23. Bc3 f6 24. Be4 Nd6 25. d4 Nxe4 26. dxe5 Nxc3 27.

29. Re1 Rd2 30. Re8 30... Kf7 {I was focused so much on playing ...Rxf2 and
became wary of Rf8+ that I didn't even look at Rxa2 or even Bxf2+ (such tunnel
vision would cause me a little grief later.} 31. Rb8 31... Rxf2 {??} 32. Rxb6 {!!}
32... axb6 {I thought at the time my queenside pawns better and my King would
dominate, but really I was still in shock at falling for such an elementery
error, this type of fuzzy thinking too, would appear later.} 33. Kxf2 Ke6 34.
Ke3 {At this point Sandy offered a draw, not only did I think I had the better
chances and white would run out of pawn moves before me - letting me break in
either King OR quuenside  , I also was not about to give in without a fight,
though the offer may have led me to play the following over cautious move.}
34... Ke5 {?! when ...Kd5 seems called for.
} 35. Kf3 35... Kd5 {And now I'm a move behind! I was quite surprised that Sandy
was clearly going for the race and even though I got the count wrong at this
stage I was certain that he wouldn't queen with check and, more to the point,
that I would, with his king on g5.} 36. Kg4 Kc4 37. Kh5 Kxc3 38. Kxh6 c5

be honest) was nabbing this pawn and taken the next-to-last pawn so my King
could with ease handle the other and queen the b-pawn. I certainly missed the
far simpler Qh8+.} 49. h8=Q Qb8+ 50. Kg7 Qxh8+ 51. Kxh8 51... b5 {white resigns} 0-1
