Rook vs two knights 1-0

14. Ng6 would have been nice

Messing it up

Polish swindle

Smashed Pirc

Nice 23rd

47. Qc8+ is better

Close shave with the Schliemann

QueenAlice

16. ... Rc4 is pretty inexplicable even by my standards, I recall blitzing out lots of games on various sites at this time and must have imagined some piece defending the rook. Instead of resigning I keep playing and with some assistance from my opponent eventually manage to win.

Thinking Machine

A game against Thinking Machine 4. Seeing a nice queen sacrifice I miss the mate in three beginning with 24. Rg7+ but things end well anyway.
