An intense Caro Game.

Sort:
Hypocrism

A very exciting Caro-Kann game, for all those who don't believe the Caro can be interesting!
I would like feedback on my moves, analysis, annotations and some tactics around move 30.

This was a good game...I enjoyed the analysis... Interesting tactics and some fun play when the queen was untouchable.  Laughing

Nice game

but you got lucky there. The queen is not so untouchable; in fact, you were losing.

If Qxd5 then Qh2+ and Whites lose their Queen.

Yes, as JoeB pointed out, there's a queen Zwischenzug which will win the game. The queen is literally invincible in that position!

 

I admit I got a little lucky - my opponent did not find the most accurate defensive moves - but they are hard to find and I probably wouldn't expect anyone around my rating to find them.

In fact, your analysis is totally wrong. 1.Qxd5 leads either to mate or the loss of a rook and queen!
