Training Game #14 with Super Eval

I decided to take part in his mission to provide competition for the computer as it would both be an exciting challenge and in may even allow me to grow as a chess player. But before I can ever hope to compete, I must first practice and train with the felew699's thought process, called Super Eval. Here's his article detailing the process: https://lichess.org/@/felew699/blog/against-stockfish-game-11-i-did-it/pJNga7XW.

My plan for training my ability to use Super Eval is to play an 1800 level bot on chess.com, then a 1900 bot, then a 2000 bot, and so on, until I reach max level, where by then, I should have had enough practice to effectively use Super Eval against the computer. The last 3 games, I played an lost against the 2500 chess.com bot, with absolutely awful accuracy and a headful of doubts. So I took a break for a day or two and came back with a fresh mind and was able to play a much better game. Here it is:

In the post game analysis, I had an accuracy of 93%, with 4 inaccuracies, 1 mistake, and 1 blunder. Despite my not winning the game, I am much happier with this game than the games I had played before. Here are some highlights:

On move 17, I have it down on my notes that this is where I believed to have been the most crucial moment in the game. I decided to play Qxb6 because I felt that my position would be alright. However, it is the move right after this that I played a somewhat bad move. After Qxb6, axb6, I played Nc3. I was very aware of the best move from the computer a3, and I did see the move Na3 (the best move) as a nice way to counteract that, but I didn't like the idea of my knight being on the edge and the a1-h8 diagonal being open. In the end, the move a3 was played and the a1-h8 diagonal was opened up and I had to work a lot harder to find ways around it than if I had played the move Na3.

On move 22, I played d6, which was the first time I gave any large advantage to the computer. In my thoughts, I considered that my bishop on g2 would be a lot stronger with the diagonal open and my knight would love to capture back on d6. I missed the best move however, which was pawn to e6, locking the center and disallowing my knight to d6. I had briefly looked at this but I assumed I would be fine.

On move 24, I played the move Nb5, instead of taking the bishop on f5. This was an inaccuracy, but I believe that this is where almost all my winning chances went down the drain, and I had to play for a draw. By taking on f5, I thought that while I had weakened the pawn structure, I would have entered into an opposite colored bishops endgame, where I could only hope for a draw. In my search to avoid a draw, I played the move Nb5, which is apparently very difficult to continue the game with.
