    This was a game I recently played in a small one-day tournament. It had three rounds, and the first round time control was Game/45 minutes.
    I work for Disney at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida, and this summer we had just opened Toy Story Land. I was working ungodly hours, and my OTB rating suffered for it. I was hoping to correct the decline starting with this tournament, and was somewhat successful.

    I consider myself more of a positional player, but the start of the game "got my dander up" a bit, so I unloaded both barrels, so to speak. My opponent is a USCF Expert, and I felt like he was not really taking me seriously.

    The game has errors, but I suspect that if I had played it here at RHP against someone I did not know already, I would be accused of using a computer- or at least that would be cool if it happened! 😉

    I was black, so I recommend inverting the board when viewing.

    EDIT: I had lots of notes in the game, but most of them are not showing up. At least the playing portion works with no notes (see second version)

    Doesn't N-h4 followed by the other knight to f3 stop the mate?

    It is obvious putting rook to g1 queen check is immediate mate from knight and same with R-f2, knight takes mate even though queen is in danger.
