I think things started to go wrong when you retreated your Q instead of trading. Your Q wasn't really doing anything on h4 anyway.

On move 18, sure would have nipped the coming attack in the bud. Dang.

Thanks for the post. Any comments? I see where I could have done better now, not losing the pawn, trading queen instead of moving back with it. Anything else?

Just posted the game, I never reallly looked at it.
I saw the Englund traps did not work, then you never played 2...Nf6 (the Budapest Gambit!).
Stopped looking.

Eating tea,shaving and posting at the same time, going out in a few minutes.

NOW you tell me🙂 I never heard of that gambit, just wiki'd it and see it now. Oh well, maybe next time. Can you look at this game as it's played? I see I probably should have taken queen on move 18 and should not have allowed the free pawn. Anything else that stunk?
