It will be very difficult for babe to win that match. Too bad, because you had a couple of chances to gain an advantage earlier in the game.

I understand the use of Rooks on any row working together, particularly on the defenders King row where a lot of "loose" change can be picked up if unprotected. It is a definite advantage.

There are a lot of ways I can lose this game very quickly. . . .

you continue to choose the most aggressive line of action, and I have been in totally defensive mode almost all this game.

For an old school, you're doing a fantastic job babe. I actually had to find my old chess board to work on the game beginning from the 19th move. One mistake I did and am regretting now was playing the main variation and trading too many major pieces too early. It did lead to an empty middle game and now I'm having hard time to find a decisive route to win.

If I hadn't have an edge through that simple middle game, this game could be just the type of a game that two similar players in a tournament that are looking for easy draws decide to play and usually just agree to draw even before the end game.

Still, I know I have a reliable positional advantage along with a nice extra pawn which is on its own adventure towards to the end of the board. But I'm just too afraid of making a stupid mistake right now, because there isn't much left on the board to compensate any blunder.

Actually, because of my fear of a possible counter, I'm gonna go ahead and play a rather null and defensive move right now. I want a safer position for my King and I want to prepare his majesty to advance further on the board which is an obvious thing that I'm going to need soon. So I play g3.

When this game is finished, I'd like to hear more about this. At one point I looked at going on an offensive, but I kept seeing ways Enes could shut it down. . . .

My response is g6.

I'm on the road again, on my mini, away from study tools. . .

A long time ago I thought your best line of attack was pawn development.

It's been interesting to follow this game and compare it to ours. In our game if you play either 7.a3 or O-O and then c5 chances are roughly equal. My plan was then to castle long and attack the kingside, a version of the old-style main line of the Steinitz. Siro plays a sharper more modern line that I'm not familiar with, but I think your first misstep was 9. . . Bxc5. I think if you take with Nxc5 instead (hitting d3 if white still wants to develop the bishop there) and then castle, the game has equal chances.

I might try that in a future game, although I like the knight on d2 to support an eventual f6, or even swing back with Nf8 and Ng6 to support the king side.

Assuming I get enough games in to try things, that is.
