Have been watching a lot of videos lately that feature the KI system. Had a go today and felt I did quite well, though I lost on time when it was mate it 3 (but to be honest, I only found the mate in 3 AFTER the game).

Would love to share my game here and have you all review it and show me how I could've played better.

Seems pretty good except 14. a3 (inaccuracy according to computer because already up material)

Taking the free piece is definitely better

And 9.h3 is bad as it loses a pawn Bxh3 Bxh3 Qxh3

Also in the opening you can actually play Nxe5 so I guess you can see how your opponent reacts before you continue your routine setup of d3 etc. to take the maximum advantage

I suggest playing with an increment such as 15+10 so that you are less likely to lose on time

Ah! Now I see the problem with 9.h3, thanks! That would've caused me a lot of trouble if Bxh3 Bxh3 Qxh3 happened. Glad opponent didn't see that move...
