(sigh) 😕
It seems every time I play this one guy at work, I end up blundering a piece and losing. We play quickly (15 min on the clock per side), but that's no excuse. In this game, I blundered my queen (double sigh 😕😕) on move 17. At least I put up a good fight afterwards, but it was all uphill and I ended up losing on time. I made a note that 11. Qc1 was questionable, probably better to plant it on d2 instead, but that pales in comparison to the subsequent blunder. Any suggestions for improvement in the opening would be welcome:
Wow...on second review, this was a cavalcade of errors! Triple sigh!!! 😕😕😕
