By move 14, I'd just played Na4, and Louise had a much better position with a strong pawn centre and better placed pieces. But I think she pushed a bit too much by playing c4. This gave me a nice square for the Knight on c5, and weakened the pawn structure. She pushed the same pawn again which left me a pawn up. Shortly after I won another pawn.
The big mistake, easy to make, was playing Nd7 above. This allowed me to take the knight for free due to the discovered check from the Queen. Shortly after I skewered her Queen to pick up the rook for a bishop and she resigned on move 30.
I'm sure she'll have better luck next time, and is already much better than I was after only playing for a few months.

Hi Dean,
Last night's game was very enjoyable, thank you for making my evening interesting. It was nice to play you again. Best of luck for future games! Oh and I hope you feel better soon because you felt a little ill on Tuesday.
See you next week!
Louise.
Thanks Louise, I enjoyed it too, doc said I've got a chest infection but thankfully it's not affecting my chess :)
Oh dear, well at least you can still play chess well. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Louise.
Dean,
I tweaked how the space is allocated between the board and the moves text so that, in certain circumstances, (such as your blog) the board is bigger. I hope this works for you (and let me know if it does not!)
