LEP Round 3
I had a big advantage in time after a few moves. I had offered a Moron Defense but my opponent seemed to want to keep the Queen's on. I nursed the time plus and tried to keep the pressure on and the position complicated. Early on I had a choice of developing my Kings bishop to e7 or g7. I went with a KID setup with the bishop at g7. Another choice was moving the Q to c7 or e7. I went for e7. Beyond that, it was a bit of luck, a bit of time advantage, a bit of rating advantage, a bit of keeping things complicated. The dam finally broke. A nice game and TheDarkKnightTwo played well. I'm now 3-0 in the LEPer Tourney.

You mean exchanging queens was a good idea? I wouldn't have minded except usually when I do so I end up losing with this opening. I figured with such a high rated player playing the defense it must not be a good idea to go for something obvious like that. I guess I need to do a little research and learn some of the opening.
Bruce,
What you played was probably better than going in for the Q-trade, but many players go for the Q-trade.
Fritz evaluates the position as about even or in your favor until about 21 ...Ng5 so I'd say you played fine up until then.
I think your main mistake was getting behind on the clock. I kept things complicated knowing I would have more time to figure things out.
You played well and it was an interesting game!

There aren't any major blunders as you mentioned, but I'm trying to figure out what White was up to with moves 20 and 21.
I suspect, like most people, you don't actually buy very much liquid egg product.

@LEP: Move 20 is geared towards trading pieces or invading with the knight at b6. Not a bad idea. 21 was geared towards opening a line for the light square bishop and queen against my King. As played these are too slow and take these pieces off-side ...
I don't personally buy a lot of liquid egg product but I thought you'd appreciate the endorsement. Besides, that is my best Dustin Hoffman / Rainman imitation ("I buy all my underwear at K-Mart").

Thanks for the insight on those moves.
Yes, endorsements are always good!
Unfortunately, I don't really remember anything from Rainman, and your allusion flew over my uncultured head.
