On Q to Q3, Nxe5, but I think you should change that queen move.
And, goddamn right there's a game going on in the comments.  Beats the normal mountain project flame wars.

Good series through 10.
I put out some moves setting up aggressive kingside, but pawn structure opens up the king (feeling a little runout on sketchy terrain). Haven't decided which way to go on it.

May be castling into trouble, but I think I can hold off the pawns.  Certainly getting more interesting, I've never played this line in the dragon before.  I always play too passive.

I like that move.  
13. .... Nxf5.  Time to be aggressive back.  Assuming next two moves will be
14. gxf5 ... Bxf5.  Send me move 15 if you agree.
This has been fun.
I'm maxed out too.

With white's king in the open, will black be able to push for an advantage? What a cliffhanger!

So it appears that if I was a grandmaster I should offer you a draw.  Fortunately, I'm not nearly that good.
