Hey all,

Just wanted to share this recent live game - after 2 crushing defeats, I managed to finally beat this much higher rated player, with some style might I add (lol, I hope). That's just it you see, I'm hoping to really learn here from what i did right, and what he did wrong,if anything.

Theory would state that he must have, then again, perhaps I did alright - you tell me.

Tactically rich game - though I won on time (it was a 1 min bullet game afterall) the game play was still very decent, and my opponent's mind is akin to mine- used to thinking deeply and complexly in short order! Made for a great few games, and I was thrilled to end with this one:

 

Thanks for any feedback!

ok, so lets go over the game step by step.

Rd8 by youre opponent is playable, but i'd suggest Nc6, developing more pieces, rather than moving the same piece twice.

I dont like Qh5, it seems to me that Black can survive after Nxe5 Qxh7+ Kf8 dxe5 Qxe5+. Maybe Nxd4 may work, Im not analyzing with a computer so I dont know for sure.

Apart from that, youre analysis was generally correct. Congrats!
