At least 3 different times I thought I had you. Believe it or not, I missed move 33..KxN. For some reason I thought you had to recapture with the rook. That's awful great gameKutta defeats Joffer in a very interesting game.
Well that's funny because I missed you blocking my queen check with your bishop at move 32. I was thinking I was threatening mate that whole time there. But I was so concerned about that queen/bishop mate that I was happy to lose the exchange there. Very nice game.At least 3 different times I thought I had you.

Just keep in mind, on that Wikipedia link Tim posted on 1. f3, there's a quote from Edmar Mednis, a FAR better chess player than I, stating "of the 20 possible opening moves for White, f3 is the worst."

Fared better than the first game, but still went down in flames in the end.
Having said that, I had that same result playing as black vs. Tim, so make of that what you will.
