This is my first youtube analysis of my daughter online game

I made a million mistakes but hey gotta start somewhere.

Adaar

Nice effort!  The convergence on f7 is only referred to as the Fried Liver Attack after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 (the two Knight's Defense to the Giuoco Piano) and now... 4.Ng5 the Fried Liver Attack.

Adaar

It is usually best to break those pins so they can't put PP on the PP and that is why 0-0 was better than d6. 

Adaar

The reason Bd7 is worse than Bf5 is because after Bd7  White can play Bxd6!

Adaar

By capturing on e4 with a pawn White breaks his own pin and now Bxg5! wins a piece.  White should have recaptured with the Ne4 in order to keep from losing a piece.

Adaar

Black has a technical win after she wins the piece on g5 and enters a late middlegame with an extra bishop.  The problem with Bg4 instead of Bd7 is that with Qg3 White pins the bishop to the black queen.  Black must break the pin immediately or protect her queen so that she doesn't lose her extra piece.  She is still technically winning if she does this.

Adaar

h6 was great because it protected the queen and gave the king an escape square from any bank rank mates.  Both players missed the chance to put PP on the PP and to not allow PP on the PP respectively for many moves!

Adaar

missing the bishop retreating move or recapture is a very common occurrence for beginners. The focus is forward march and attack!  Had she seen it, she would have won a whole rook!  Practice looking for these type moves.

Adaar

At the end when the computer suggested taking the rook with the queen it was probably due to a forced checkmate or loss of the queen if he doesn't.  After Qg1, she plays the crushing Rc2 winning the queen by forcing the king to leave the defense of the queen.  

Adaar

It would be a great exercise to play the position with a different move besides Qg1 for White and try to keep his queen and see what the computer 'saw' that made it considered trading the queen for black's rook the best way to prolong the game for as long as possible.
