I need a little help with my English opening please

hey pal i think you may be away from your keyboard at this point so i'm going to pgn tag it for your/helper convenience


OP Game

[pgn][Site "Chess.com iPhone"] [Date "08/08/2015 07:13am"] [White "Kim_Jong-Il (1343)"] [Black "doodle7 (1365)"] 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 d6 3.g3 c6 4.Bg2 Be6 5.d3 Ne7 6.e3 Nd7 7.Nge2 h5 here is where the game goes off piste for me. I have thought about this move quite a bit sometimes I have played H4 to counter it, but too often this has led to a quick attack on my kingside with a pawn rush (G5)

This time I thought I would experiment and let him take the pawn.

The rest of the game didn't go to well either and I bet you can spot lots of mistakes

8.Rb1 h4 9.O-O hxg3 10.fxg3 Bh3 I think letting him play Bh3 was a mistake too. I should have moved the rook a square to the left earlier and let the bishop go to h1

11.b4 Bxg2 12.Kxg2 Nf6 13.b5 Ng4 14.Rh1 Qb6 15.d4 cxb5 16.Nxb5 Nf5 17.Rb3 Qc6+ 18.Kg1 a6 19.Nec3 axb5 20.Qxg4 g6 I thought I might have a chance in the game here now as this Knight was a pain and although my position was bad the game was quite open here.

There was the exchange of Rooks and Knights in the bottom left corner and then I thought maybe just maybe a check on c8 might lead to something or perhaps I could queen my pawn

21.cxb5 Qc4 22.e4 Rxa2 23.Nxa2 Qxb3 24.exf5 Qxa2 25.fxg6 Bg7 26.Qc8+ Ke7 27.Qxb7+ Kf6 28.dxe5+ dxe5 29.Qc6+ Kf5 30.gxf7 Qe2 31.Qd7+ Kg6 32.Qe6+ Bf6 33.Qc6 Rd8 34.Qg2 Rd1+ 35.Qf1 Qxf1# {doodle7 wins by checkmate}[/pgn]


i can't actually give you help because i'm a filthy casual, maybe if this gets to 24h with no replies i could try. goodluck
