    Another Loss to the Same Guy

    A while back I posted a game I lost to the same opponent when I tried the inferior capture with the b-Pawn instead of the d-Pawn in the Exchange Variation of the Ruy Lopez.  In this game I lost to him again as White in my favorite Torre Attack.  As near as I can tell the loss was a result of misjudging the position after the exchange of Q’s  at move 21.  It never occurred to me the b-Pawn would be lost and with it the game.  Well played by my opponent.
