I think when we were last paired you were good enough to make a mistake on move 3! Was my 22 an error? } { gvhill: I think that move 21 was more problematic. Re8 seemed stronger that Qxd5. On move 22 I think that Qa2 was better than Qb3. It was a pleasure to play you again. Thanks for the interesting and challenging game. Good luck in chess and life. } 1-0
