Hey Colle,
For your 2nd game, just curious if you (saw / considered) 13. Nxe5 followed by 14. Qxh5, instead of 13. Ng5. It would have gained you a free point in material.
I also became quickly perplexed with what your opponent was thinking with move 15..Ng4? I can only guess he was trying to save his f5 pawn by clearing the path to his rook, but I would have been more concerned with taking out your e6 pawn than saving my own on f5.
Other than that, very strong ending - good call on the forking opportunity.
Chess is not about rating...its about learning, playing, and excelling.
And who said the opposite?
I beat GM Rakhmanator, but I was HIGHER-RATED than him... what's up with that??
He's likely the strongest player here.
