Move 9

As a sideline, I explored 9. Bb5+, but didn't like where it took me - unless you were acting REALLY weird, we would have exchanged bishops, then you'd have a lock on the center outright.

Re: Move 9 (and a minor dang)
I wish I'd kept track of a chess recording program I had back when I was more active in postal and OTB play. The thing did almost nothing except record and display moves, very few bells and whistles - but it did what it did very well. In that era of Windows 3.1 software, I don't think I ever had it crash.
1. e4 c5 2. b3 Nc6 3. Bb2 e5 4. Nc3 Nge7 5. Bc4 d6 6. Nf3 g6 7. Nd5 Nxd5 8. exd5 Ne7 9. c3 Bg7
Presumably the intent of c3 is d4 or b4.

OK. As if I were going to g4 with my bishop in the first place. I suppose your knight is doing anything? Oh it might invade e6, but I'll get that tiny pawn and grab everything left of the center.

Move 14 (I don't get it.)
10.h3 f5 11.d4 cxd4 12.cxd4 e4 13.Ng5 Nxd5 14.Bxd5
Either a) you have some super secret plan to take over the world or b) just dropped a Kuh-nigit for a pawn.
I'm betting on a, but I don't see it...

Move 15
I always did fall prone to stuff like that...
10.h3 f5 11.d4 cxd4 12.cxd4 e4 13.Ng5 Nxd5 14.Bxd5 Qa5+ 15.Qd2
One side note, which I am not blaming for my play, I noticed that somehow I've been misentering the moves into WinBoard, which is reporting a false position right now. My fault entirely, especially because I should have noticed the "invalid move" comments that showed up a few times... User error. ^_^

Yeah, but I should have noticed it when a piece I moved the previous round wasn't where I had moved it... ^_^'

One thing I am disliking about Winboard is its desire to replay the game from the beginning, rather than letting me go to move "x".
Or is that what "edit game" vs. "edit position" does? (I haven't used Winboard much, still wish I had that olden golden game recorder I remember from way back when.)
