Thank you.

But that was not the end.
The next game was identically to the third up to move 9, but i used the
reset-button somewhere later:(
This game followed immeadetly after it:

[Event "Private Blitz Game"]
[Site ""]
[Date "2000.05.26"]
[Round "-"]
[White "oliver"]
[Black "crafty"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "C46"]
[TimeControl "40/300"]

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Bc5
    {Apparently crafty has learned, that the "Halloween Gambit" after 3...Nf6
4.Nxe5!? is rather strong;) But this line is really worse.}
4.Nxe5 Nxe5 5.d4 Bxd4 6.Qxd4 Qf6 7.Nb5!
    {Good Move. It was not my own. I recall that i learned it in one of Suetins
books about chessstrategy. It serves there as an example for the so called
"modern" approach to chess, which overcomes the classical one, which dictates
_not_ to move around with the own stones in the opening. }
c6
    {Typical computermove. It didnt shocked me, since i knew 6.Nb5 was sound.
The "bookmove" here was 7...Kd8}
8.f4 cxb5 9.fxe5 Qc6
    {White has a great advantage.}
10.a4!
    {I can learn too. The white bishop comes to c4 and attacks f7 together with
the rook.}
bxa4?! 11.Bc4 Ne7 12.O-O O-O 13.Ra3!
    {After i found this move i knew black was lost.}
Ng6 14.Raf3 Nh8 15.Bg5 Qg6 16.Be7 Re8 17.Bd6 h5 18.Rg3
    {18.Bxf7+ is not enough material for this position, but should win too.}
Qh6 19.Qf2 Kh7 20.Bxf7 Nxf7 21.Qxf7 Re6 22.h3 h4 23.Rg4 Rg6 24.Rf5?
    {White plays not optimally here, but its advantage is too big.}
Rxg4 25.hxg4 Qe3+ 26.Kh2 Qg3+
    {Oh!}
27.Kg1 Qe3+ 28.Rf2 Kh8 29.Qe8+ Kh7 30.Qh5+ Qh6 31.Qf5+ g6 32.Qf7+ Qg7 33.Qe8 b5
34.Rf7
    {The rest is uninteresting.}
Bb7 35.Qxd7 Rg8 36.Qxb7 Qxf7 37.Qxf7+ Rg7 38.e6 a3 39.bxa3 h3 40.gxh3 a5 41.Qf6
Ra7
    {Black resigns}
1-0


And here is the fourth game:

[Event "Computer chess game"]
[Date "2000.05.26"]
[Round "-"]
[White "oliver"]
[Black "crafty"]
[Result "1-0"]
[TimeControl "40/300"]

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Bc5 4.Nxe5 Nxe5 5.d4 Bb4?
    {This was the following game. crafty simply looses a pawn. Better than to
loose without a chance, it may have learned. Maybe my version is somehow
intoxicated?! I had fun anyway. See what follows.}
6.dxe5 Ne7 7.Bg5 Bxc3+ 8.bxc3 O-O 9.Bc4 Qe8!?
    {A doubleedged computermove to create counterplay on the e-file. If i play
tame now, crafty has probably the last word.}
10.f4 h6 11.h4!
    {An intuitive sacrifice. I dont like 10.Bh4 Ng6 11.Bg3 d6 against crafty.}
hxg5 12.hxg5 g6 13.Qf3 d6 14.g4!
    {With the idea f5-f6}
Kg7 15.f5 gxf5 16.gxf5 Nxf5
    {Oh! But i have an answer.}
17.O-O-O Qa4
    {This moves shows that crafty thinks there is something wrong with its
position.}
18.exf5 Qa3+
    {Aha!}
19.Kb1 Qb2+
    {And i won}
20.Kxb2 Rh8 21.Rxh8 Be6 22.Rxa8 Bc8 23.Rxc8 dxe5 24.Qh5 a5
    {Black resigns}
1-0
