I don't think h4 is a fortress...you have the f6 break left, which can't be ignored.
On move 31 I think you should have played h4 instead of f6, when white's position collapses immediately...for instance: h4 Be1 hxg3 Bxg3 Bf8-h6 picks up the pawn on f4.
Ah yeah I forgot to put in a comment about that. It was a simple blindness from not wanting to put my pawns on the dark squares - for some reason I remember thinking he could play g4 in response - I didn't want to give him any counter play. Now away from the board its obvious g4 is not a move! Ha. Thanks for the comment buddy
You can imagine how soul crushing it was to 1. suddenly think it was a draw 2. take a draw 3. immediately have it pointed out it was a win


This is a game I played yesterday for my County team. It was Somerset 1 (my team) vs Cornwall 1. I was playing the Black side of a Caro-Kann against a player I beat a couple years ago in the same fixture. In that game I had the White side of a 4.e3 Nimzo, it ended with my opponent blundering his knight but he was a pawn down anyway. This time I could sense he was motivated to get revenge and beat me given how aggressively he played the opening, he was also blitzing most of the game but I didn’t let it phase me and took my time, I was worried I might have fallen into some kind of opening trap, as I'm not use to seeing my opponents leave pieces en-prise on move 4 in a Caro-Kann. I wasn’t aware of this 3.Qf3 move in the Two Knights Variation, he seemed to be trying hard to blow me off the board in the opening. I felt more comfortable once the queens were traded off, however, I was still concerned as I felt White still had some initiative even though computer says it was equal.
I was happy to get use the tactics along the h1 to a8 diagonal with 27…f5 (exploiting pin of his knight on f3 to his rook on h1), I was thinking about playing it earlier in the game but I was happy I seemed to play it at the right moment according to my engine. This was also the first time during the game my opponent went into a significant think, before then he was taking at most 2-3 mins per move, he also seemed noticeably unhappy after I played it, as I saw him shaking his head and breathing heavily, don’t normally pay attention to these things but was glad he seemed to have overlooked this move. Given the way he collapsed 8 moves later I think psychologically I had already won the game after 27…f5, as I don’t think he was able to recover mentally from missing this move.
Anyway, I was pleased to have won after my loss from a few weeks ago. I’m not sure what the team result was but we were leading 2-0 when I left, it was a 16 board match. IM Jack Rudd seemed to be winning for us on board 1, but not sure if he converted it or not. The young prodigy Steven Whatley from Gibraltar was on board 4 for us to my right, think he was better but it was a complicated endgame where both sides were trying to create passed pawns. I think I would have taken Whatley’s position if had a choice though as his passed pawn looked faster.
Note: My opponents 160 ECF grade is the equivalent of 1900 FIDE and my 178 is the equivalent of 2035. This is using ECF conversion formula of: ECF grade X 7.5 + 700. I just mention that as I guess non-English players will be unfamiliar with the English rating system. Also for anyone that cares the time control was; 1 hour and 40 mins for first 40 moves, then + 20mins for the rest of the game, no increment.


Third game, I hope I am not clogging this up, if I am posting too many games, I am sorry.
This is another 30|0 game. Here, I bring out my inner korchnoi, as I accept a 2 pawns gambit, and manage to defend and then win.
Victor Korchnoi and Yasser Seirawan were both inspirations for me. I really liked how they were very good at getting a static advantage, and defending really well, to win an endgame. I admire their ability to do this, and I show how I was inspired to play like this here. I would like to point out that it is important to make as few pawn moves as possible when accepting a gambit. These moves will often lead to some possible weaknesses in the future. Here, I tried to keep pawns on e6 and d7 to allow me to hold off the white army.
I participated in 2016 BC (British columbia, Canada) open. The games were 90|30. I got a really good result, beat a NM, draws with a FM, a WFM, and a Nm and just lost once to another FM. Here is my last game vs. a young FM. As Black, I played KID, Saemisch. The game went smoothly for me, but at the critical moment, when I could've demolished White's camp with 29. ... Nc4+, due to time trouble, I played a wrong combination 29. ...Qxa3+. Alas!
My questions:
1. As always, I need some clarifications on the opening and middle game plans, especially for White.
2. I got inititive and built up a demolishing attack, but at the critical moment, when I just needed to calculate some forcing variations, I had about 5 minues. Any suggestions about the problem with time management?
3. After spoiling my clear win, it was hard for me to play an endgame, but anyway, I have some problems about the rooks endgame. Can you please tell me some role of thumbs about this kind of endgames?
4. I played the final part, queens endgame well and better than my opponent, but again, it's nice to hear Melik's ideas about that!:)
