Going to think for a bit (also try to do something with my day other than play chess)

Analyzing this now, it looks like 12... Qb4 wasn't great (Stockfish recommends Qb6, the other move I considered), I'd say because the threat to capture on b2 is really an empty one (or should have been...) and so the queen is just on a bad square. But that was a recoverable mistake. 13... O-O?? was where things really went off the rails for me because it allowed you that combination to win the bishop. And then 15... Qxb2? was a mistake as well; that free pawn ended up being pretty expensive in the end. I should have known better than that, but I thought I had calculated an escape route and must have made a mistake somewhere.

I'm still pretty happy with how I defended after losing my bishop, but I think it was all over by then. Well played.

huh i didn't realize Qb4 was so bad, didn't realize a3 was a much better response

yeah you should be kind of done after O-O, had you not played that this probably would've been a brutal game lol. you held on well post-that tho, hard agree

thanks for the game!

Just noticed there wasn't a single check delivered in this game, that's kind of funny.
