Now in this game I just focused to attack my opponent as far as possible. While strengthening my pawn structure

- The rest of the game seems self-explanatory for me, i simply made sure that my knight and my flank pawn stops my opponent pawns from promotion and i promoted a Queen myself.

I hope this was either fun or instructive

move 5 : the theoretical move here is Qf3, even though i was aware of it i always prefer Nxe4 because it's something i am more comfortable with.

move 11: i played Qe2 because if i castled instead e2+ would have cost me a queen.

move 13: capturing the free definitely seemed very natural to me although the engine give castling at that move almost +3.

move 18: my opponent unfortunately hang a knight here, although he spent around 14 seconds on his move, he probably just overlooked it.

move 26: even though i already lost a pawn on move 23 i didn't to lose 2 others as i believed i was heading into a winning endgame.

move 33: a5+ from him could have been correct in a lot of situations since it is theoretically right to try to trade pawns if you are down a minor piece in an endgame, but here it doesn't work because of Rc1 threatening back rank mate.

A very nice game! But, this isn’t annotating, but it will do, thanks!

it was a 30 second game

Avatar of NeoChess9

That’s great that you won against a GM, but a 30 game almost has no chance of winning
