I knew my 4. ...Nb4 was ill-advised, but I decided to give it a go anyway, just in case you weren't paying attention. Good game. } { Abacist: Good game. You were right about the not paying attention, I was just lucky I had a knight on d1 in the start position or my queen would have been a goner! } 1-0
