My second club game

The second game

Last week I played my first club game. I got a winning position against a player rated 1630, but I managed to lose the game after a number of subsequent inaccuracies.This week I got my second game, against an opponent rated 1290.

Of course I was intent on winning this game, and I did. Looking back I did play a much more dangerous game than was necessary, and at two critical points white could have gotten an edge of 1 to 1,5 pawn (I realized there was a nasty continuation after my greedy pawn capture with the Bishop). None of it happened though, and at least I can proudly say I never even castled...

White's fate was sealed after a splendidly unsound rook sacrifice.

Enjoy!
