white looks like they are having a really bad day or they have a largely inflated rating in my honest opinion.
I tied myself up here - how?
Sort:
It's a difficult position for Black to play. Your pawns are compromised on both sides, which makes it tough to make progress.
You were doing a good job of it though. Even without the blunder, you're ready to simplify either with Bb5 or the idea 27... c5 28 bc b5.
A recent game. I won this after a blunder, but I was somehow tying myself in knots despite a clearly superior position. I was frankly, out of a plan. From move 19, I wasn't really sure what I was doing, and how best to make use of my position. Any thoughts/comments?
Thanks!
