Smothered at the Club

I got mated by a smothered mate at the club Tuesday. Here(new window) is the annotated game.
FLORY, TIMOTHY J (1290P14) vs ADAMS, LOUIS W (1738)

  • I read the word "hope" somewhere in your annotations. It is adviced to try your very best not to play "hope chess", as hope chess will hurt your game.

  • Not a bad game. You fought well but one mistake is all your opponent needed.

    12.d5

    I don't like this move, you give up control of c5 square (and your opponent immediately posts a knight there). I'd consider playing 12.a4 here, attacking the queen-side pawns (play might continue 12..b4 13.Na2 a5 14.c3).
