Here is a tournament I played in, some of the games are less interesting than others. Game 2 and 4 are most interesting.

Nos 1 game, instead of 5.d5 you could have done Bb5  11.Qd3 what about f4 !? that would have be good for your bishop if PxP and open the f-file for your rook.

Interesting idea  - seems good

Game 2.  10.Rd1   10.Nc3 to free your other rook. You played well here, black was ahead untill 37...Kxf4 ?? should have focus on his a b c pawns, yes time pressure really put you off. On the analysis engine (you have one ?) it keep screaming at me for you to go Re2 during the second halve of the game, does yours say that too ?

Game 3. found something interesting instead of  15.Qxc6 first do Bh7+ Kf8 now then Qxc6 the bishop is safe on h7. 27.Rc5 ? Rcxc7 ! is better

Game 4. 6.g3 out of book move ? other are Bg5 or Nf3, at move 16.Bd2 what happen to your plan ? g4 then f5 ?  I am not too sure when excatly you went wrong in the mid game and/or the endgame. Maybe at 22.axb5  23.Ra3  ?

Perhaps -  i did get a very bad position from the opening.

Game #5  "7.Bb5 seems better" ? I think you mean Bg5 and the other option is c5

Avatar of CoachConradAllison

yes, that is right, there are quite a few mistakes in the analysis.
