My Best Moves This Week

This next move is unlike move #1, because playing this move didn't win me the game. It actually helped me draw the game. I thought that I was in a losing position, so I decided to that it would be a good idea to draw.

Later, when I analyzed the game, Stockfish said the the game was equal.

However, when playing chess, something very important to remember is this: You get to decide if you don't think you can win. Stockfish is a computer; us chess players are not. 95% of the time in a position where a draw is an option, you can correctly predict how the game would end if you don't take the draw.

Move #2
