move, but I did something dumb. I reached out, grabbed the Knight, intending
to play 11.Nh4, but saw the response of 11...Nxe4 12.Nxe4 Bxh4 at the last
second. Having grabbed my Knight, I had to move it. With that said, this isn't
a terrible move. Just not what I wanted.} 11... d5 12. exd5 exd5 13. Nd3 Bg4
14. Qe1 O-O 15. h3 Bf5 16. Qe2 Re8 17. Ne5 Bb4 18. Nd1 {I didn't want give up
my Knight, as it's the only minor piece I have left that can effectively deal
with the hole on e4. Black planting a piece on that square would give me some
trouble.} 18... Ne4 19. Qh5 Qf6 20. Kh2 Bg6 21. Qf3 Rad8 22. Ne3 Bf5 23. g4

didn't record the rest of this game. I missed a hanging pawn later on, which
probably would have sealed a win for me, and I ended up offering a draw with
about a minute left on my clock. He accepted.} 1/2-1/2
