I won but what mistakes did i make in this game
Game Analysis
Sort:
11...Rf8 is a passive move. Often in the stonewall, it belongs to h6 for a quick attack. The d7 knight can be used to prep ...e5 which frees the light bishop.
15...exd5 should have been played, followed by ...f4
17...Nxc3 strengthen his centre. 17...Rc8 or Qh5 comes to mind, to develop an underdeveloped piece.
You had 2 plans at move 19 - to go with the ...g5 advance and piling up on c-file. Focus on 1 of them instead of doing both, to accelerate your attack.
Good game, but your opponent did not defend well. Stonewall dutch is like French and Kings Indian, the way you handle the light bishop matters alot
Thank you ... I was going to dbl my rooks and do not know why I changed. I guess I seen a different way but I see now how I am losing tempo.
Ok I'll post a game. It's QGA, an opening I don't know and suddenly I found myself to be losing. Any ideas?
Here's a game, I dropped a pawn and then tried to make a fortress but missed a knight move where he exchanged knights and that created two weaknesses needed to win. http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=91042886

Still waiting for my game's analysis :D
hi friends ,this is my first day on chess. com so far this is my only group.i would try to give my feeble attempt at annotating this game. I have only looked at first 9 moves.but it seemed like both players are clearly unaware of positions arising from
QGA.
Dear friends, yesterday I started to play 2 games vs learning2mate. first one was an unusual sicilian in which I took black, whereas second one was a QGD Bf4 line. Even though time duration is 3 days/ move , first game which was a rather short one (17 moves) lasted only one day. Second one is expected to last much longer since it is only 10 moves in first day, of which first 8 were "book" for me.
This is my first experience in correspondence games and i have decided to write my thought process behind each move into a note so that i can use it for future analysis as well as for sharing with others.
Game is given below and i will try to give my analysis in the next comment
1 e4 c5
2 Ne2!?
A very unusual move.At the time , I started to learn sicilian, l havent spared even a single glance at it. I think its called Keres variation, but its the end of my knowledge about it.
But when faced at the board(rather computer screen) for the first time, it didnt look like a bad move at all.Demerits of this move when compared with natural Nf3 is obvious.Ne2 blocks development of LSB and it does not control e5.
But still its a good move.firstly game leaves theory very early and here i started to think for myself from move 2. secondly white gets an additional option of f4.white can also decide to go into normal open positions by playing d4 or can retain closed nature if he wishes so.
additionally if it gets transposed into another opening ,Ne2 may be a better one than c5
2...Nf6
All normal moves were my candidates at this stage.Of which i immediately rejected e5 immediately since in any e4 e5 opening, c5 is a worse move than Ne2.
2..d6 or 2...Nc6 to try to transpose into a normal position is again rejected since white is unlikely to play 3 d4 allowing to return to the book.And if white closes the position with Nc3, play might reach some uncomfortable territories for me.similarly i rejected e6 since i am not at all fond of playing french like positions from black side.
So my only chance to reach a somewhat open position is to play d5 at some stage.Here I decided to play Nf6 with idea of following up with d5.
3 Nc3
This was my expected response.but I still needed to check 3 e5. I again didnt looked at 3..Nd5 due to obvious dislike for alekhine.So my choice was 3...Ng4.Only thing i needed to make sure that this knight gets back into game after 4 f4 e6 5 h3 Nh6.And it gets a nice home on f5 where all pawn moves by white are rather weakening.Ofcourse if white tries to prevent Nf5 by g4 ,Qh4+ wins.
3...d5
following up with my idea of opening the position.
4 exd5
white obliges to open up the position.If white decided to defend d pawn, my idea was to follow up with d4 grabbing more space forcing c3 knight into a bad square.If white decided to play e5 in response to d4, i would end a pawn up in every line since i will be the first one to capture
4...Nxd5 5 Nxd5
Here again white can play many moves,but he immediately responded with Nxd5.
5...Qxd5
The game was decided by rudimentary tactics of an overworked defender so I won't comment much on that part.
I have a different opinion regarding openings, I'd rather transpose to an opening I know, rather than force myself to play an unfamiliar position where I only have slight advantage compared to the familiar position. i.e. I would have played 2...Nc6 where it will take me to Sveshnikov or Dragon if White plays 3.d4.
If White played 6.Nc3, The position looks like an inferior line of Scandinavian, where black committed to ...c5.
I don't really see any major mistakes made by you in the game shown. I am curious to see what is your actual playing strength.
EDIT: Thanks for commenting in my game. It helped me realised the QGA isn't my type of opening
Can someone analyze this for me? Warning: not a very goodgame 
very usefull
Here is a game I recently played. It is the 4th game I've lost to him. He is VERY good at taking advantage of even the slightest mistakes I make. No doubt assuring he will always win against me.
In this game, on move 17, he blunders and I am able to gain the advantage of a piece and the exchange. However, 4 short moves later, I miscalculate and he nearly evens the score.
Here is the game, and I have a few questions below it:
1. This is the first game where I employed the Kings Indian Defense. My plan was to undermind his center then advance down the king side. Do you see any moves that could have helped or that were hindering that plan?
2. At move 21. ..Bxe4 I feel like I made a 'theoretical' mistake. In a won position, I chose to add a complication rather than the simple 21. ..dxe5. Which move do you think is better?
3. After move 25, I still have a slight numerical advantage. However, I felt his attack was in full force, so I chose to try and find a way to distract his forces. In this position, was that a wise choice? What other options would you suggest?
No need for a full move by move analysis or anything. I have an engine that will take care of that part. Mostly I am interested in theory responses.
Thanks to anyone who has any comments about this.
2 days, and no comments? Not even a WTF?
Hi, in this thread you can post your games. I and all other guys here will help you to analyse your games here. Have Fun:)
