Hi Tim!
TE>Would you like to look at these games and give your comments, or 
uestions?
TE>It would help me out a lot if you would.
TE>Thanks
 Okay, here are some quick thoughts:
TE>{Annotations by Chessmaster 5000 Auto-Annotator. 10 seconds per move.
 It would be better to leave Chessmaster out of this! 
TE>6. e3
TE>  {Out of Opening Book. 
TE>   Instead of pinning the Knight I will
TE>   develop into the e4 square by placing my white
TE>   squared Bishop on d3.}
 I think this is a bit slow and I think you've left yourself open to:
TE>6...Ne4
TE>  {Blocks White's pawn at e3.
TE>   This move is utterly pointless. It does not aid in development, and 
TE>   it is basically void of any tactical benefits.
TE>   Had the computer decided to try and hold on to the Knight here, I
TE>   would have played something like this.}
 Hmmm... harsh criticism, but I don't think it's pointless at all. Of course
capturing is risky, but allowing black to exchange off your c3 knight has
taken some of the attacking options out of your position. Also by having
to recapture with the b-pawn you have robbed yourself of any meaningful 
ttack
against the problem c-pawn. Those pawns on e3 and c3 look awkward.
TE>7. Bd3
TE>7...Nxc3
TE>  {Attacks White's queen.
TE>   The only thing this does is remove one attacker from the e4 square.
TE>   But since the Knight was attacked more times then it could defend
TE>   adequately it was basically forced to take thus saving it some 
TE>   tempi, had it retreated.}
 I still think you have to ask yourself what has this done for my position?
The interesting posibility that has opened up is the attack along the 
semi-open
b-file with perhaps an a-pawn advance. 
9. Rb1 O-O 10. h3 Nd7 11. O-O Qa5
 Why 10.h3 after 9.Rb1 the bishop isn't going anywhere for a while.
 11...Qa5 is an ugly move though... nothing much for Black there. 
12...Nf6 13. Bd2 Qc7 14. Ng5 g6 15. e4
  {This is to give me a bigger plus for my position.
      It opens the c1-h6 diagonal, the b1-h7 diagonal and the e file.
   Since I am left with Bishops, instead of Knights, I want to give
   myself as much room as possible. The attacking potential is
   increased as my mobility. I wouldn't have been able to this
   had I needed to defend my position. Thus the Knight move on #6 
   is definitely an error. }
 The thing is black can swap the dark-squared bishop off easily, I 
think 15.e4 is questionable insome regards since it makes weakens
the strong pawn centre. Playing for c4 would enable either you to 
isolate d5 or more likely gain an unopposed centre.
15...Bh2+
  {Checks White's king.
   The computer thinks that if there is a check possible that it should be
played.
   Maybe this is one fault of the programing, or maybe it was programed
   this way for physchological reasons (trying to throw my concentration).}
   Another reason is it seems to be the only escape for the Bishop.
 I haven't had chance to look to closely but after the irrelevant
check, what about 15...Bf4!? 16 e5 (16 Bxf4? is obviously out) Bxd2
17 Qxd2 Nh5 (intending Ng7-e6). What have you got then? I'm not convinced
about the B-file pressure and the attack on Black's king is insufficient.
18...Bd6 19. f4 Be6 20. f5
 18...Bf4 was still on (though not as powerful), now the f-pawn advance
justifies White's play.  
30. Bh6 Qd6 31. Rf1 Re7 32. Bg5
 Awful play by Black here. Surely after 30...Kh7 31 Bd2 f5 when Black is
strong on the white squares and black squares White is in trouble.
 After this though I thought you cleaned up well! A very nice win indeed,
although I think you were a little harsh on your poor computer. It's moves
weren't great, but it had a defensible (and perhaps chances of a better 
position until it lost its silicon head)position until close to the end.
  Regards,
          Dave
