Well, this is a turning point in my favour, i think.
your move 10. c3-c4 my move 10. ... / d5xc4
First blood of the match. Difficult start for me, but I am the one to bite first.
Blutbad am Morgen: Kummer und Sorgen.
Gemetzel am Abend: erquickend und labend.
I had a luxury problem here, the choice between cd:, dc:, and even Qa5+. cd: and dc: are not that different, Qa5+ would lead to another variation still advantageous for me. In all three I secure material and positional advantage.
An unwanted mishap on your side, mixed up the moves in your variations, or a lack of patience to boil me in my own brew? I am perplexed by your move. I expected f4 or Nf4, which would have kept me in the anaconda's loving and slowly tightening embrace.
