I still lost but did I play well? Trying to get better ❤️🩹
Back and forth game you played well in. You just lost on time in a winning endgame. Were there specific moments you felt you needed help with, or any particular concepts you were unsure about?
Well my main issues right now are really in the middlegame like tunnel vision,time management and more (also thank you for commenting on my topic ♥️)
Happy to help ![]()
Here's some main moments of the game:
- 8... Nxd4?? blunders the knight to 9. Qxd4, but you probably realized that shortly after.
- 10. Bxb7 your opponent sacrificed away the advantage for seemingly no reason.
- 17... Qxb3 18. axb3 gxf6 simply trades queens and then wins their bishop on f6.
- The ending was obviously just time pressure even if you had a winning endgame when lost on time.
- I'd love to offer some middlegame advice, but most of it there was just black seeking to trade pieces when up in material and wanting to avoid trading pieces when down in material. There's more subtle things I could offer in that game, but this big one should be addressed first.
