    LOL. You should make a graph of your games. Get rid of the big squigly lines first.
    But serious, when you opponents get stronger, you can't come away with this play. Nice games though.

    By the way, have you been called "romantic" by someone lately?:)

    I am sure that my chart would look like a seismagraph during an earthquake. The KG to me seemed sound and I know the Ruy was not. I saw he was heading for a becker style defence and saw the potential to create a bishop sac to put him on the run. I believe I would of played it even if he played g6. I will have to see what the Professor thinks . I do intend to play sounder at some point as I improve......

    In the first game, instead of 10. Qh5 how about 10. Qxf4. He is forced to play Kc5 and then you get d4+.

    Kc5 is forced because of the Nf7 threat (there are no safe squares for his queen to hide from the discovery). Ke7 is met by Ng6+, Ke6 is met by Qf5+ (and then Ng6 or Nf7)

    So 10. Qxf4 Kc5 11. d4+ If you're lucky you get the very pretty Kxd4 Be3 mate! But even Kb6 Be3 looks menacing with more of your pieces joining the attack.

    If he tries to go on the light squares, Qf1 and if he tries to block the diagonal with b5 then a4!

    I love the way you play man. Your berserk type of stile reminds me of my crazy ancestors. 8)
