1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. f3 dxc4 (last book  move) 5. e4 Nc6 6. Bxc4 (and I blunder a pawn right out of the opening - better was 6. Be3) Qxd4 7. Qxd4 Nxd4 8. Bb5+ Bd7 9. Bxd7+ Kxd7 10.

Rhd1 Rhg8 19. g4 (Fritz shows 19. Nb5 g4 20. Nf2 far better) c6 20. R1d2 h5 21. gxh5 Nxh5 22. Nd1 Nf4+ 23. Nxf4 gxf4 24. Nf2 Rg2 25. Kf1 Rxh2 26. Ng4 Rhh8 27. b3 (now my d3 Rook is trapped - Fritz prefers 27. Kg2 Ke6 28. Rb3) Ke6 28. a4 (28. Rh2 to relieve pressure by trading Rooks is stronger) f5 29. exf5+ Kxf5 30. Nf2 Rdg8 31. Ng4 c5 32. Nf2 Rh2 (32 ...Rg3 picks off the Knight - 33. Ke2 Bxf2 (if 34. Kxf2?, mate in 4!) 33. Re2?? (33. Rc2 and White lives a little longer) Rh1+ 34. Nxh1 Rg1# {cterlizzi checkmated} 0-1

I didn't win or even draw a single game in this 5 game online match!   Game 3 was my best play as for a while I had a stronger position according to Fritz 15.

Qf6 and Black wins the Knight as I have to protect the f2 square with my Queen {cterlizzi resigns}
0-1

Well I had the better position for a while.  Looks like my only hope to beat this computer is with the White pieces - draw at best with Black!
