Just played Quads today out in NJ for old times sake (used to live in NJ).  Got smashed.  Just terrible play, type of tournament that made me feel like I know nothing about chess.  Got in severe time pressure every game & never felt like I had any winning chances in any of them.  Quite depressing.

Here's the crosstable : http://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?201505031672.0 (I went down 30 points, expected it to be even more)

If chess.com is gonna make a video about one of these I'd say #2 is the most exciting (very imbalanced games, lots of tactics from the beginning).

I did not put these games into any engine yet, I need a day or two to heal before I put them under the cold light of computer analysis. Embarassed

Game 1 (I was white)

Game 2 - I was black

Game 3 - I was white

Recent draw, Had to defend a really difficult endgame.

A classic case of being totally busting, clawing my way back to a winning position just to be busted again.  Haven't put in the engine because frankly, I'm tired of putting my games in the engine.  I did provide detailed analysis in the PGN.

This one's from a couple months ago, finally put it into the engine.  I got a nice attacking position but was unable to breakthru.  It was a 25 minute game (+ 5 sec delay) so I didn't have alot of time to come up with a plan.

This game was SO PAINFUL!!!!

Possibility it cost me $400 too, went from +12 to -10 engine eval in just 3 moves.   After my opponent missed a forced mate I threw away the whole game.

Here is a game from a bit ago. didn't feel like posting it at the time because I destroyed my opponent, but then again this game was the most fun I have ever had playing.

Yeh, unrated at this stage (both of us!).

 

I've tried to comment at my level but would love a real analysis by some of my heroes, chiefly you blokes Cool

Other than that, enjoy!

 

(Sorry, I thought I left more comments than that_ I will edit this again and add more substantial comments as I thought I had but I won't rush it so I'll get back onto it in a day or two!!)

@ Beer_can_Chicken forcus more so on piece development in the opening after 5...Nb6. Those advance pawn gives you a space advanage, now develop your minor pieces. 6.Be2 perpairing to castle soon. if 6.Be2 cxd4 7.Nxd4 Bc5 8.Be3 you are ahead in development your Nc3, O-O, putting rooks on half open d and c file are idea.

After 12.Qc2 black O-O, you are down a piece. black will exchange pawn on e6. Those center pawn become target practice.
