Training Game #5 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. Since I lost the 4th training game against the 2100 computer, I decided to play it again and learn from the mistakes I made last time. Here is the game:

The game ended in a draw. In the post game analysis, I scored an accuracy of 95%; much better than the score of 78% from the 4th training game. I had a total of 1 mistake and 2 inaccuracies. As in most of my games, I first have to navigate the opening, which is evidently tricky for me, as I get an inaccuracy and the mistake within the first 10 moves. At move 6, I should have played Qa4+ instead of exd4. In my thinking, I never even saw Qa4, so that is a blind spot for me. At move 8, I played Nb5, hoping for some activity and some tricks. in the game, it turned out fine as the computer didn't play the right moves, but as the game analysis shows, after Nb5, Qe5 would have been difficult to play against as there are no tricks to be found.

Perhaps I should look at the words I use when describing my thoughts as some kind of issue to be sorted out. A very good example would be in the previous paragraph when I said, "I played Nb5, hoping for some activity and some tricks". It is often said that people shouldn't play "hope chess", yet I still fall into this state of mind of perhaps and maybes and possibilities. This is certainly a very difficult thing to overcome, but I will focus on watching my internal dialogue for these words. Maybe This should absolutely help me as a chess player.
