Good game. I like especially the move 23.g5? - which is only bad if you play like stockfish.
You are absolutely right: you see a winning endgame - you go for it. It is no use to risk a sacrifice (stockfish´s 23.Nf5+ is a sac), if you can win the game in a simple way.
For a move like 23.Nf5+ I would need quite a lot of time - and considering time on the clock in the evaluation is important, too. Stockfish doesnt consider "it is difficult" - all positions are the same to an engine, it never gets stressed and never gets into time trouble.
Happy Xmas and a happy new year, to all of you.
I havent played chess for about 3 weeks so far (no online chess, no real chess --> nada!), let´s see if I keep away from it. I like the game, but a break is o.k., too. Even if it is an addiction - it doesnt have health-side-effects, nor does it cost a lot of money. I also cant get aids or so from an infected computer. So I guess chess aint that bad, especially if I enjoy playing chess. And still, I guess I spent a bit too much time for chess in the past. I would like to come to a point where I dont play online chess every day, but just occasionally. Once or twice a week. And not for many ours, unless it is a real OTB game.
Well, these are rather thoughts for New Year. And I wish you all a happy New Year herewith, too!
I might not write until after New Year.
