C00 French Defense (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5)

It is time once again to go through games of mine from Red Hot Pawn and this is from the second round of a tournament called 2014 August Banded Quartets I 1700-1800. This was supposed to be a tournament where there are four players in each group, however, as the number of players and and the amount of groups were undividable by four, so there was one group on round one that had five players and the final group also consisted of five players. In both rounds I was in a group of five people, so I played two games more than anyone else in the tournament. That was because only the group winner from each round advanced to the second round and this time also the final round. This game was pretty much over after my opponent blundered with the move 7...Nge2?? but still the game continued almost 30 more moves. Admittedly when playing against me anything can happen, so resigning too early might be a mistake. By this I mean that I might not take full advantage of my position and give some counterplay for my opponents some time that might compensate for the lost piece. I am always trying to make as good moves as possible but as a mere human, I can't do that all the time. I have added three mate in ones, one mate in six and one mate in seven puzzle today.
