Revenge II

Here is one of the critical positions from my earlier post.



Evaluate 16. ... Ng4

That's exactly correct.

The correct line, as you've indicated, results in an evaluation of =/+ by Fritz.

Instead, my opponent played 17. Qe2?? and lost the whole bishop.

After a quick glance,I was looking at 17 fxe5 Nxh6 with chances for discoveries on the knight or play on f7, but i don't think there is really anything there. Qe2 is awful.

You got yourself in quite a poor position though. it almost seemed like it was a fabricated position, from a puzzle book, with your queen and rooks all doing nothing in the corner.

There were some more active moves that I should have played. I wanted to let him attack me though, because I've played him several times before, and I'm usually the aggressor. I knew he wouldn't expect me to play defensively. My queen is where it's at to guard d6, while I put the rook on c8 to support a pawn push. However, that strategy was too slow in retrospect.
