He made three blunders Insomniac could see with a quick search, and his problems were present from the beginning. Personnally, I didn't like f4 (I like b3 better; maybe there is some tactical reason not to play it?), and when he finally did play b3 it didn't turn out to well. Also e4 and then exf5+ seem to open the position up too much, as his cramped pieces didn't have any play on the open lines. James
