Round 1

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 Italian Game\ 4.c3 d6 5.d4 exd4 6.cxd4 Bb6 7.Nc3 Bg4 maybe Nc3 was a small mistake, allowing him to pin the f knight\ 8.h3 if he takes the d pawn is safe for the moment because taking it with knight or bishop would allow Qxf7 mate, still, I was not happy with my position\ 8...Bh5 9.Be3 Nf6 10.d5 Bxe3 Frtiz calls this an error, prefering Bxf3, either way material is even\ 11.fxe3 Ne5 12.Be2 I consider Qa5+ but it didn't seem to accomplish anything\ 12...Nxf3+ 13.Bxf3 Bxf3 14.Qxf3 all these trades are to my advantage I think\ 14...Qe7 attacking my backward pawn*\ 15.Rc1 h5 doesn't accomplish anything\ 16.O-O g5 the blunder that pretty much ends the game\ 17.Qxf6 Qxf6 18.Rxf6 O-O-O 19.Nb5 Rd7 20.Nxd6+ Kb8 21.Nxf7 Rf8 22.Rcf1 Ne5 right away would've been quickly*\ 22...h4 23.Ne5 Rxf6 24.Nxd7+ 1-0
