This is my latest game with the internet tyros and I did much better than the last one, playing with the black pieces, my opponent resigned after move 21.

The game was a Queen's Pawn Opening (Chigorin Variation) In general, the Chigorin variation of the Queen's Pawn openings is defined by 1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6, and the most important move afterwards is Bf4 (although my opponent did not play that)

It went like this:

1. d4 d5 
2.Nc3 Nf6
3. a3 (a move questioned by the book as Bg5, transitioning into the Versov is thought to be the best response) I answered with: Nc6 (c5 is said to be best response)
4.f3 (Bg5 is said to be best) e5 (e6 ttb best)
5.e3? (dxe5 is considered best) g6? (bd6 thought to be best)
6. g3?  (dxe5 ttb best) exd4 (Bg7 ttb best)
7.exd4  Bd6? (Bg7 ttb best)
8. Nge2 Qe7? (h6 best)
9. Bh6? (Bg5 ttb best) a5? (a6 is ttb best)
10. Bg7? (Qd2 ttb best) Rg8
11. Bh6 Be6
12. h4? (Qd2 ttb best) Nh5
13. g4? (Kf2 ttb best) Ng3
14. This is what the computer counts as my opponent's big blunder, he plays Rg1? But Rh3 is considered best because there follows: Qxh4
15. RxNg3? I answer with Bxg3+ considered the best response
16. Nxg3 Qxg3+ is best move
17. Kd2 Nxd4? (Qh2+ would have been best)
18. Kc1 Nxf3+
19. Kd3 (but Ke2 ttb best) Nxe1+
20. Kd2 Qf2+ 
21. Kd1 (Be2 is considered best but at this point White sees no point in continuing when Black has strong attacking chances and resigns) 


Final position, White has had enough of his King being on the run.
