Here's a nice little blitz game I played here at Chess.com.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks and enjoy!

Yes.  Looking at it now, 12.0-0 would have left him better, probably.  Thank you!

I think his 3rd move was fine.  Anything else allows me to move us into a pretty open game, which would just highlight the wasted move, 2.a3.

I liked the fact that you sacrificed your rook to make way for the coming mate.  It is something that I would generally not consider, since the rook is weighted so heavily in points . . . It just goes to show you how a person can become too preoccupied with material instead of the PURPOSE--CHECKMATE!!  Nice.

nice mate

he wasted his second move

I completely agree, Panda.

Brilliantly well played

good game

although you asked us to tell you about better moves so here we go

on move 6... ne4 forces a bishop for a knght trade or even more

on move 7 ...ne4 would still have given you the better game

on move 9 you would might do better to play ...Bxf3 as long as you wasted a tempo but not big deal it seems equal in both positions

 16..bc2 was a big mistake on your side as your opponet could have taken advantage after rc1 indeed 16...Bxg2 would have been ok for you

good game  if someone thinks that this was a blitz he would have said that you played that like a  master

 

Thank you for the feedback, cwc!  I had completely missed 17.Rc1.  16...Bxg2 is certainly an improvement.  Thank you very much.  And thank you for the kind words at the end.  I usually play blitz fairly well.  It's my slow games that I have trouble with.  I've had some wins against our local masters playing 5  0, but at slower controls, I've only been able to muster a few draws and a slew of losses.
