Improve Your Chess: Dan vs Computer 6

Opening: A30: English Opening Symmetric Variation

Player(s):
Another in my continuing series of 'think out loud' games vs the computer. The engine (BethO), playing White, moves its queen multiple times in the opening, losing time. I miss the best continuation, but still get a massive lead in development. By the end of the first video the game is over positionally, as I have all my pieces in play and Betho only has the queen and maybe one other piece. Once all my pieces are ready to attack I blast open the center and go after the king. With so little development and an exposed king, White can't last long. Making use of some weaknesses on the dark squares, I find a mating attack which ends the game with almost all of White's pieces on useless squares.
