This is a game i lost on a chess site i found. I felt i had a winning position, but made a serious blunder. Would love it if the community could give some feedback.The annotations are brief because it is in the middle of the night where i am right now. Thanx
It's clock chess... don't beat yourself up for making a poor move under time pressure -- GM's have been known to make atrocious moves in blitz... and me, I just pure hung a piece in a correspondence game, for god's sake! You have no monopoly on careless chess...
Thank you, man. That is better. Anyone can slip and fall. I feel a bit better now after some sleep. But yesterday I wanted to cry, the big boy I am.
Josh Waitkin stated in the "Chessmaster" program that he was taught to put extra effort in studying the endgame. After losing many an endgame I saw his point and recently purchased "The Complete Endgame" by IM Jeremy Silman. This is a fantastic book that teaches and challenges based on the players personal rating. So as the player improves the book teaches more aspects of the endgame. It has significantly improved my rating from 1100 to around 1300 in three months.
same thing happens to me often.
