Well my oficial grade is 116 ECF (1578 FIDE)... my opponents official grade is 133 ECF (1714 FIDE) - he never lost a game all season and beat stronger players than me... when I played this game I'd only been playing less than 1 year... and it's amazing what analysis you can find with an engine isn't it 

I analyze my own games wihout engines - "old-skool"  So when I post a blog, it's actually all my own thoughts and words - not analyzed by an engine then commented on every little inaccuracy. 4.Bd2 is a book move - look it up 

Hi!

I don't really see 26.Bf5 as an exclam move. It achieves nothing. He could play Rc1+ and Nf6 if he wants to. Bf5 is a move you make for the sake of beauty, which I can understand and have been guilty of too. But you have to ask yourself wehther this move achieves anything. Answer is no ;). I have watched a lot of dzindshi videos lately and seen some of your comments. That's why I checked your blog. If Dzindshi saw Bf5 he would make fun of it :D.

you say 27.Ne4 is a mistake and you should have gone for positional win. While it is true that Ne4 is a mistake, I don't see any positional winning chances for white. If I could choose which color to play it would definately be black. Your passed d-pawn is not a strength but a wweakness, your rook is misplaced on g3 and black has a good bishop, the c-file, a good chance of making use of the weak d5 square via Nf6 to d5.

I didn't really analyze the opening, although I think Bd2 is not a good move. much too passive. But anyway. you didn't lose the game on move 26 or 27. you already have a very questionable position at that point. Against any decent player you can only hope to make a draw at that point, certainly no winning chances. I also don't see what Bxg6 would achieve. I don't think it would win you 3 pawns.

ok now, sorry for being that critical towards the game, but it has to be said ;).

Well my opponent is unbeaten all season that says something in itself... but yeah I should have played it slow and won but losses can be good because they make you take a look at your game and really scrutinize where you went wrong, and where I went severly wrong was move 27. Bg5 line is not my style, I ain't gonna play a line I don't enjoy

CHooper, Not sure what game your looking at but their are no free rooks anywhere in this game? Especially on move 10?  And 26.Bf5 is not taking the Rook off C file as he has Rc7.

looks to me like ya missed taking his rk fer free move 10 ?  not sure what the qn move was look'in at ? but i've lost 200 points in 2 yrs ,so what the hell do i know lol

Yeah he used to be 128 in 1994, bit more than a few years ;),  but back then grades were less infltated. hes last grade 106 (Fide 1498),  But yeah you should of beat him, I have told ya get that Bg5 in lol.  ;)  Check some of my last games as white on my blog. Show you how to use that Bg5  ;)
