This was an interesting loss for me. I had some threats up to about move 20 where Alex played a very computer like move. Alex pointed out that 20. ... Na3+ would have been better and the computer agrees that black would have had a slight edge. What is interesting is that most of his moves agree with computer analysis which means that he played extremely well. I thought that my play was good, but the game went downhill fast after move 20.
I give the game as best as I can remember...
