Fwd: ICC game yoshi vs KingsBishop

Tied for second in the ICC USCF Online rated tournament with 4/5.  On tie breaks I got third behind KingsBishop.   He played a terrible opening and I had a wonderful game against him, but it all just slipped through my fingers.  I probably made some poor choices.  The computer doesn't like my moves 24 and 25.
