Here I had black and this was a 10min game with no increment and I played against my friend a 1900 and won again and for some reason the games that I won against them are instructive because all my other games against them is just me blundering a piece, but I went all in! My opponent played the Spanish which is very complicated to play, but with my knowledge of the Spanish by study and online vids talking about white playing the Spanish I somehow remember it, but I took some stops to make sure I remember so I lost some time, but not gamechanging. Move 13 is pretty much the end of theory and the start of the middlegame and since I know white’s plan I tried to stop my opponent from playing Nf5 and considered g6, but I was too scared about weakening my king so I went with Bc8 instead. On move 15. Nh4 I remembered about the quote “if you’re opponent attacks on the side, then attack in the middle, but then after the game stockfish didn’t like it, but stockfish will always see these crazy things so I didn’t care. On move 16. d4 I didn’t care about my bishop because it’s not active and I can trade it for my opponent’s good horse. On move 20. Nc6 was played because of supporting the d4 pawn. I can’t explain 21. Kh1 other than trying to attack by bringing the rook to g1. All the moves that were before move 22 and above and some moves after move 22 that seemed useless were useless because we’re playing random move to not lose on time. On move 24. Rf1 my plan was to put my knight on f4, but didn’t see f4 and I was scared of their counter play. On move 26. Bb3 In my analysis I thought that c4 would be good, but after Bc2 white is fine. On move 30 I felt attacked and was scared of their attack and tried to defend by attacking back a amazingly coordinating my pieces in an accidental manner. 36. Bxb4 was played because of low time, but I’ll still discuss if they didn’t play it. If they didn’t sac any piece or no big blunders then the weaknesses of e4 d3 and b2 will fall because my knight is nicely placed and my pieces are good and if my knight and bishop was traded here then I probably would have lost. I also sacrificed to keep the position simple, but on move 62. Qxh3 was played in time pressure.
