Training Game #6 with Super Eval

ChessAnalysisStrategyChess engine
This is the sixth training game I have played with felew699's thought process, called Super Eval. What felew699 has been able to accomplish in his mission to challenge computers is very impressive. Inspired by his dedication, I have decided to follow in his footsteps.

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. After I drew the 2100 computer in my fifth training game, I knew I could beat it. This is the game in which I beat the 2100 computer;

In the post game analysis, I had an accuracy of 93%, which is right around where I want to be. I ended the game with a total of 0 blunders, 0 inaccuracies, and 2 mistakes. I am very happy with how the game ended. I found the best move, which was to place my rook in a spot I normally wouldn't see to place it, and it completely wins the game. Here is a recap of the mistakes I made during the game:

On move 16, I played Qc5. I saw the correct move of Nd7, but I found it very difficult to calculate all of the chances after Qh5. Because of this, I chose to play the safer, yet inferior Qc5, attacking the pawn on e3 and trying to delay the computers move of castling. Right after I played this move, the computer made the biggest mistake of the game, Kf2. This allows me a very nice sequence of moves to completely take control.

On move 20, I played Be6, with the idea of bringing the other rook to attack the king and win the game. However, I completely ignored the immediately winning move of Rf4+. I missed that after Ke2, I have Bg4+, winning the queen. Because of this, I assumed it was not as good as simply bringing the other rook.

On a side note, on move 23, I missed that I had checkmate, and I tried to make fun things happen with Qc2+. This may have been me feeling happy after finally knowing that I had beaten the 2100 bot, but I will still count it as an error in judgement.

My next training game will be against the 2200 bot, which will be a nice challenge.
