This was my last of 7 games at Nationals in Atlanta Georgia this weekend.  I was 4 - 2 so I needed this win for a trophy.  This game helped me improve my knowledge of defending wisely and to see sieze the advantage when it comes to you.  She made maybe a few mistakes but at my level it's not too much to learn from.  I came out with 5 points and won 22nd place out of 320 people in the K-12 U1200 section.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

 

He should play 18 Bxe5 fe 19 Rxe5+ followed by 20 Rxd5--and maybe (with any luck at all) he can get his bishop out of its jail cell later on.  But your best would probably be 18... O-O, refusing the offer--and refusing to let the bishop on a2 out of its tomb.

You played very well.

what the?
