Qxd3 { JPT: I assume that was an unintentional mistake of some sort. } { Ronald R. Nurmi: Yes, not the best move I have ever made, but thanks for an interesting game! Ron } { JPT: thanks for the game } { Ronald R. Nurmi: I had Stockfish 10 look at the game and it found 1) through move 18. Black had about a pawn and 1/2 advantage. 18...g6 was not good for Black as White was up about 4.5 pawns. 20. Bf4 gives Black about half a pawn advantage up to a .8 advantage to move 23...Qd3 where Black blunders away the game. } { JPT: thank you for sharing. I did feel that i had messed up my attack somewhat after 18.g6 i will look at that myself at some point to see what how it should have been played. For your move 23 I thought you might have meant to played something else but did something like i did once. I was playing on my smart phone and moved the piece to a different square without realising because i carelessly touched the screen } 1-0
