Interesting second game, white won while down in material, oh wait, connected passed pawns are worth pieces.

These were very instructive. Thanks!
I am going to post some losses, I just (luckily) did really good in this OTB tourneys, but feel free to add suggestions. I tried to annotate it as best as I could. This was form a recent OTB tournament. I have been practicing "not looking" at my opponents rating so get away from intimidation or becoming too relaxed, so I had no idea about this guy. Turns out he was rated 900!!! He didn't play like it! I also saw his arsenal of chess books and nice chess clock so I didn't know his strength. he certainly played B/A class strength. I asked him about his rating after the game and he said he hadn't played since elementary in rated tournaments.... geez! There were no blunders in the game.... very positional and instructive.... all the way down to the endgame... It was a very good game. Feel free to add any suggestions or asking questions... even if you are a lower rated player, sometimes explaining a concert can help both parties or you may present a fresh perspective. I hope you enjoy.
