I just played in my second OTB tournament in Rochester, NY on Saturday. I'm provisionally rated 709, and in the first round I got the black pieces against a 1968. I'm very proud of the way I played this game, minus two errors that ended up costing me the game. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I couldn't figure out how to put comments in the game, so here's a few I have.
6...Bb7?? Pointless move, I ended up moving right back to c8 later.
17...Bd6?? Loses the game. 17...Qe7 is the good move at this point.
I had Rybka play both sides after 17...Qe7, and it ended up drawing by repetition around move 23.
you should not have resigned, you still had a chance
yea idk why you resinged. according to rybka, u were only -0.44 with ..Kf8
There is no chance for Black after 18...Kf8; 19.Bh7
16...Qg5+ seems extremely winning for you
thats not him he is black
Which is clearly indicated by the three dots as is convention.
Yeah, 16... Qg5+ (good call). And I don't think you should've resigned there.
