I had this game against a player rated over 2100. I found myself at a disadvantage due to an incorrect procedure of accomplishing my game plan, which was to control the e5 square. But my real trouble comes later because, as the computer analysis pointed out, I under appreciated the quality of my opponent's queen in comparison to my own queen. I refrained from trading queens because I was down material at the time, but this is one of many games where I have found that the common suggestion of avoiding trades while down material is not always good advice, which seems to be primarily because material's influence seems to show itself later in the game. Anyway, here's the game.
