What Are My Chances? My First Two Losses.

Everyone's bound to have some losses, but these were tough games for me to recall, as they contained a few blunders of the type you hope to never play again in your life. One of my losses was against the top seed @joeskil with a rating of just under 2000, and the other was against an under-rated 900 rated player by the name of @Dtgr. 

Hopefully you guys already know what's up, but in case you don't, all of these games I am analyzing are from the 2021 Daily Chess Championship. More specifically, they are all of my games in group 334 during round 1.

Now, the first game I will show is the one against @joeskil, who at the time had a rating of 1984. It was a miniature where joeskil, playing with the black pieces, was able to quickly put pressure on my king left in the center of the board. 

The second game, as I said, was against @Dtgr. He played a very nice game and was able to take advantage of the blunders I was frequently making. 

I hope you enjoyed the analysis of those games. I have finished some others in the past couple of days, so I will be making another blog post pretty soon. These, however, were my only two losses so far. Hopefully they can teach a good lesson: that leaving your king in the center of the board does not usually end well. 

I will also include, in the comments section, the links to two games that I ended up winning on time. They were quite short, so I will not provide analysis. They were both against the third seed in my group. 

Let me know in the comments if you had any thoughts about the games that I did not express, be sure to follow me for updates on my blog, and until the next post,
