An ordinary game in 1700+ (5 missed moves and win)

Yesterday I played unrated game and I matched with a strong opponent who is rated 2044. I was lucky to win with success of tactics, but after the game I was surprised by the game review. Stockfish really hates this game.

What I thought was best moves were almost missed moves😅 My opponent gave me advantage again and again and I refused to take it, and this is what happend in this game. Btw I didn't notice this at all in the real game, I was just scared that my opponent solved his unfavorable position to equal position. I thought I would eventually lose.

Sorry Lasker, I should have listened to you.

Actually it was second time to meet him, and the first match was draw. It was a pretty solid game unlike second one. (Accuracy 86.2 vs 85.9) It is hilarious that both games are completely different but players are same.

Oh it was 7 missed moves. I saw it right after I post this. When I saw my game review it showed me 5 missed move in the game. (I was confused why game review is not matched with marks in the game.)

After 6. e4 Nxc3 it become absolutely obvious that both sides have no clue what basic positional chess is all about.

At 8.Ne2 I saw that he would play d4 so I tried to block his d pawn and make his knight has the worst position in the world... And after he played Re1 I tried to use my black bishop and rook to make a pressure on f2. But after Qb3+ - Qxb7 game became really weird... This is what I thought in this game.
But yes, I know concept of positional chess but there's still a lot of ambiguity to me.

If you'd know you'd not play 6. ... Nxc3(?)

6. e4 is a huge positional mistake by white. It's complete missunderstanding of the position. It creates a huge and easy to attack hole on d3 in white's position. That's why your knight on d5 NEVER wants to trade itself for the knight on c3. It wants to go to b4 and then to d3. And strategically it's game over for white. No reason to even touch move 8 when it's over on move 6. The rest is just execution.

That's exactly right. I missed that style of knight move even though I use it when I play sicilian defence as white. I only saw that if I move my knight then his bishop can't use the diagonal...but if I had found that Nb4 idea I would have done it. Thanks for precise pointing out.
