This week my sons are going to chess camp and we have the honor of hosting on of the teachers.  He has a rating greater than 2300+ and is an international chessmaster.  I played two games with him and was white the first time..

First game:

  1. e4     e5
  2. Nf3   Nc6
  3. g3    Nf6  (I think this is the point that he started getting the advantage… the rest of the game goes poorly)
  4. Nc3    Bc5
  5. d3      Ng4
  6. Be3     xNe3
  7. xe3     xBe3
  8. Nd5     Bh6
  9. h4       d6
  10. g4       xBg4
  11. Be2      o-o
  12. Nh2     xQh4+
  13. kf1       Bh3+
  14. Kg1      Qg3++

The second game I did a little better, but it took longer to loose…  (I ran out of paper and it did not seem constructive to write it down anyway, so I don’t show the checkmate.  leave a comment below if you think you know how the game ended and what moves were made.
