Yes, apparently you do...

(I almost always start off with that move against a player I haven't played before. You passed the test.)

These games are a perfect example of why I love Chess: I love watching different play styles interact. I also love a good queen hunt.

I'm betting there's about a 90% chance I'm going to lose the game at this point. You've capitalised too much already.

Want to just go to a new one, in the interest of time?

We can keep rolling for a few more moves. Not quite ready to concede yet.
Er, I mean, NEVER SURRENDER!

Really? Freeing my black bishop is pretty key to my future plans and it's not like you're going to be giving me a chance to make dumb pawn moves from here on out.

Just feels like you're conceding any stake you had in the center, and it's going to cramp your already strained development (although there may just not be any good way to fix that, to be fair).
I think this is fine.

Of course I'm conceding my stake. Anywhere else I moved my queen would have seen her killed. I knew that was inevitable when I said I had a 90% chance of losing way back when.
Let's see if this helps...

I think capturing Qxc3 would've kept her safe, IIRC.
As anticipated, f5 may have been wrong.

Oh. Yes. That's true. I hadn't even considered that. Good call.

Eh, like you really could have avoided losing your bishop anyway.

Actually, I'm just looking at this again, and yes, yes it was.
