14. h4.

Just to add: I don't think taking my b5 pawn will work wonders for you. Or that you have only developed one piece so far.

15. Rd1.

What, Nb4 followed by a4 and Qa5+? You won't have the time to pull it off.

I am sorely tempted to play a3 and stop the attack cold...but I'll ignore what you're doing and play Rd1 instead.

If you're going 16. ...Nxa2, I'll play 17. Qb1.

What's material compared to piece development and a proper attack being developed?

I am definitely not Magnus Carlsen. I'm just a guy who picked up the game again after several years for fun. I don't take chess seriously; never have, never will.

If you want to resign, please resign. Please do not make excuses. Don't take away the shine of my eventual victory (at this rate).

Oh, and if you are still continuing, 24. Qe3. With threats at g6 to further expose the king, Nc7 for a nice knight-fork, or even Nd4, Nf5 and Nxd6.

This is a correspondence game, isn't it? It gives you time to think. So far, everything is fairly straightforward with the game. I have been told that despite my lack of seriousness in chess, I'm at least at IM-level, just from being able to reason why I do everything on the board.

Behind my own computer screen, I am sitting here in bewilderment. I am not cheating, but if you're not going to be convinced either way, I'm not going to stop you.

At any rate, good game, and good luck with your future endeavours in chess.

I'm not that interested in playing with someone who doesn't know how to play gracefully.

Re-add because ninja-ed:
