Nf3 c5 2. e4 g6 3. Bc4 d6 4. O-O Bg7 5. Qe1? I call such moves picture painting. You evidently have seen something similar before and are copying it without understanding the idea. Optically it looks the same, but idea wise it is not. >Nc6 6. a3? Bg4 7. Qe3 Bxf3 8. Qxf3 White has made 2 redundant moves (Qe1 and Qe3) to accomplish this recapture with his most powerful piece. Not good. >e6 9. Ra2? An extravagance that takes a natural retreat square from the Bc4. >Nd4 10. Qd3 h6? 11. c3? Nc6 12. b4 cxb4 13. axb4 Nge7 14. Na3 O-O 15. h4 Ne5 16. >Qe3 Nxc4 >17.

Qg7# 1-0 You should annotate this game in detail (spend 2 hours at least) by yourself without the aid of a computer program, then go over your annotations with the help of Sjeng on a normal setting. I've peppered the game score with "?", which you can ignore or use as hints if you wish. This will be more helpful to you than posting it on the internet and asking, "What do you think of my style of play?"
