So i've done the computer analysis and gone over my mistakes but the suggestions by the software seem like they lack a little human knowledge. There were probably some tactical traps I could have set in there for a guy who likes chomping up everything he sees. The computer would never suggest a trick like that though.
For example. If I were a better player, i'm sure I could have taken better advantage of this guy's kamikaze queen attacks. I'd appreciate any tips. Be as harsh as you like...i'm not afraid of the truth.
I hate it when people play like that. Both the opening, and the style to trade pieces at every chance. I don't really know how to deal with them, and i'd also like to hear some advice for it.
I really hate players who play that aggressively (I'm talking about white). It just disgusts me for some reason, When ever I play blitz and I have to deal with those kinds of people. I have fun teaching them a lesson.
You crushed him. What's the issue?
Just fishing for some expert players to call out some missed possibilities. I feel like I let him off the hook a few times but the computer analysis was only suggesting these odd positional moves that I couldn't make sense of.
The major mistake on my part was missing 23...Kf5 but i've got a feeling my pawn moves at the beginning could have been better.
Just look at the position after 13. O-O. Opponents only active piece is queen, which you are nicely eying with that bishop. In these situations, if you can't find any tactical ideas, just prepare to push pawns, gaining more space.
Perhaps instead of 10. Kf6. Just push f6 and prepare Bg7. After that, knight is protecting c6 to be pushed followed by Rb8 etc. Your rook is in the end, after 30. moves in its starting square.
Also 26. Bc8 seems wierd. Its controlling knight, yes. But your rooks are now bloked and that pawn is left unprotected.
But opening was somewhat nice
Generally speaking: in chess there’s hardly any „this type of“. Chess is concrete, details matter.
Thank you nikzal, Sarg0n
I appreciate your contribution. I'm going to study your suggestions nikzal. Sarg0n...I see your point. I will deal more in specifics going forward.
@nikzalYou're 100% right. After he played 26. Nxc5 I made a purely defensive move when I was up on material. I thought I was quite clever in playing that conservative bishop move that took away all his knight attacks...lol
The danger of him taking that bishop was only to himself though! He was trading everything and going to leave me with 2 rooks to finish him with. If I play Rfe1 it takes the relative pin off of the knight...and there is nothing to fear from him trying to pin the bishop because i'd gladly trade down to take his last rook anyway.
I certainly chose the wrong move...and wrong attitude in general. Being up material I should have looked to trade down and mate him with the rook and dark bishop or just push the passed pawns.
Your main mistake is playing too fast. This was a 15+15 time control and at the end you both have 10 useless minutes left on your clocks.
6...Be6 is not as strong as 6...Be7 intending 7...O-O.
7...g6 is kind of slow. You can put your bishop on d6 in one move.
9...Nd7 is weak again, 9...Bd7 is stronger. The knight is much better on f6 than on d7. With Bd7 you gain a tempo as he must move his queen.
At that point you have tossed away all of your advantage. You still have 15 minutes on your clock, i.e. you have just played on increment.
If you want to punish moves like 1 e3, 2 Qh5, 4 Bd3, 6 Qe5+, then you must play accurately. To play accurately you must take time to think. Superficial moves just evaporate your advantage.
