I see the e4 thoughts, but as to c6 there was never any possibility for that as I prepared for this a long time ago. Simply a matter of timing. Used now, it makes a very fun dilemma for you.

yep, I wasn't actually targeting that pawn per say, but I definitely jumped at the possibility. the real squares I had my eye were a push to e4 eventually, and I figured at some point I could of targeted c6.

As for the possibilities... I think it's partly because we are so close in skill level. I play a fairly open game, I think.

I figured that with the setup you had there, you wanted to take the pawn, looked like you were trying to push me away from it. I could have defended with Qg6 Nh4 Qh7, but I thought that perhaps, since you seems to be targeting the pawn anyways, I might as well give you the chance to make a mistake, lol.

damn, never should've taken that pawn with my queen. I saw the rook move right afterwards too.

It's funny, when I play you there are always so many possibilities, where as with other people it always feels like there is just one good move.

not what I was expecting.

Fun game. I am going to enjoy trying to defend this.

I was up a queen, I don't blame you.

sorry, the last one felt pointless.
