I like to trade queens, because I render counterplay ineffective with less powerful pieces on the board. I look for forks and pins at every opportunity, anything to limit options.

Don't let me take away options. To keep the game even, open up space and trade your ineffective pieces for my good pieces.

Well, I could be wrong but I still have the good opportunity to trun the game with my pair of knights. The problem was that I made a stupid blunder without preparing the ground first! I do not blame it on a single blunder but this determined the battle.

Third game. At least I finlally got a constant player to kill the time,
