Sac, Blunder, Sac, Save, Win ... literally that is how this game went for me. I did not have enough firepower to take the attack to completion and when I realized that mistake and was backing out, my opponent blundered to get me winning. I would like our fellow users to comment on this game and let me know where I can improve.

I can't believe Black didn't win that game! At one point he was three minor pieces vs your one!

Good game, nontheless.

I just had a quick look and may be wrong but, I think white missed a sassy checkmate,

51.Reb8+...Kb6

52.Rb6...++

 

As an aside, was the notation correct, is the 'e' needed?

51.Reb8+     or     51.Rb8

Well .. yes, that was the time I missed a lot of things actually. Instead of bringing my bishop onto g6,had I brought the knight, there was a royal fork waiting to happen and I missed that line totally OTB.

Seriously, even I could not believe that black lost that game despite being a couple of pieces up. The funny part was that my opponent starting scolding me in the midst of the match once my rooks started marching forward Money mouth

Wow! Apparently I missed that rook checkmate on move 51 too!! :) lot of lessons for me .. I guess I have to focus more on my tactics.

Cool game. ( Also your opponent could use some more opening knowledge.)

51.Rb8+ is fine though 51.Reb8 is not inaccurate either...

13. Nh4 looks fun to me, but I just like moves like that. It's probably not all that strong.

22. Bd3+ is something I think may actually be good instead of just looking good. 22... Kh8 23. Ng6+ picks up a Queen.

That potential mate on move 51 is beautiful.

you missed 6 Bg5. then if ...Bxf3 7 bxf3 Qg6 8 d5 ( or 6 ... Qg6 7 d5)  and the black queen has nowhere to run
