Thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment! Yes, Nd5 would indeed create huge problems for me. A careless error by my side. I probably needed to inverse the move order by playing b5 first, then Qc7. I'm sure our game was a vital experience for both of us! All the best for your future! – Akshat

You are right, Ortisei is a beautiful place, I think Trentino Alto Adige is one of the most beautiful regions of Italy, I was there also two weeks ago, I took part to another big international tournament on the Garda Lake. Ezio Montalbini was there, I agree that he is a very good organizer.I have seen that after Ortisei you continued to play all over Europe and to increase your rating, which now is near 2300. Indeed that's a very high rating for a 13-year-old, surely you are on the good way to become a GrandMaster, maybe you will follow the route of Viswanathan Anand!!One thing, though, I want to say about our game. After the first moves, my pieces were placed better, and I had the chance to take the upper hand with 15. Nd5! Qd8 16. Ne7+. I think you have to give the exchange on that knight: if you don't, I play 17. Rfd1 and it becomes hard for your queen to keep defending the a5 knight. Three moves later, when I let you take the f4 pawn, I undervaluated the weak position of my king and you deservedly won with a smart combination.Best wishes to you and your father, and I hope to see you on Ortisei 2013, they have already registered the tournament on the FIDE website!!
