Your opponent made big mistake

This game against an SIM - played against him before. He lost unfortunately.

Against a lower-rated player - there was no need to resign. Game had just begun !

Against a lower rated player 1900+ - it appeared to me that he was not that familiar with the Dutch.

This game is in progress at the moment.

Background - this is second game against this opponent. First was a disaster as
I resigned after just a few moves - made a move intended for another game. I
dont torture myself so resigned early.

So this game I opened with my usual - c4 - English. I know my comfort zone and
can hold off most challenges. He responded with f5 and I almost fell off my chair -
nobody has ever played that against me. At first I thought he might
have goofed but Mega says there are quite a few games in the database.

Onward ho ..

Latest move sent in a few moments ago : (at first glance I'm looking at b5 or bxa5 - will look at this later)
I dont have many databases and the ones I have say no games to display.

Just downloaded ICCF database and found my first win after about 20 years break from chess. Just got interested in chess again after a friend gave me Chessmaster, he knew I had played chess before and wanted to know if it was good. Good enough after a year training with it made me win this game.
I played a German player that when he found himself losing started to write angry messages. I see I did some mistakes that I wouldn't do today.
