Scathing game report!

I just got checkmated in a game on the ChessWorld.net. I decided to go ahead and run the game through a full analysis with Fritz 10. I thought that we each played a pretty good game and I simply lost in the endgame. Turns out Fritz figured that I was lost ofter move 9 or 10! Here is the analysis for your reading pleasure:

Fritz may have figured out you were behind around move 9 or 10, but your opponent made so many mistakes that by move 33 you had a huge advantage and the game all but won. However, on move 34 you started to give the game away. You passed on 34. Nc3, which would fork his King and Rook. Instead you played Nf6 and gave your Knight away! That was the start of your downfall.

Thank you for looking at the blog and giving your analysis of my game. Although I'm reading and learning a lot, I find that I'm still overlooking a lot of tactical shots like the one you pointed out. Chess is defiantly a game it takes a lifetime to master!
