Just Played My Best Game

BigFoxy90

So I just played what I believe to be my best game. According to the analysis I made two brilliant moves on move 20 and 21. A month ago I was wondering if I would ever break 600. And now I'm feeling the progress as I've crossed over 800. I'm not satisfied and I want to become as good at this game as I can. And it's games like this one that really encourage me. Any feedback is appreciated. And I don't mean you have to placate me on what a good game it was. If you see anything I could have done better please feel free to share. I'm very proud of this game I figured I'd share it with the chess.com community.

It was a nail-biter but I enjoyed it. I'm just glad I'm seeing more and more tactics. This game was so much fun to play. Even if i had lost I would be saying the same.

I appreciate that, Jordan. Definitely need to get together for another coaching session. Hope all is well buddy.

Really nice endgame!  I think that variation of the Pirc by Black is called the Czech but poorly executed.  I think 5. Bd2 (instead of Qf3) would have been killer - unpinning the Knight and threatening a discovered attack.  Great use of Knights in the middle game. Keep climbing

Excellent play!

Normally I would agree with you if hubris or excessive Pride were present. I believe there is good pride and bad Pride. Here I believe I was simply feeling the pride of playing a good game. I even asked for critiques and advice on what I could have done better. I will say in reference to the bit about me feeling like I had made some progress, I was probably a bit deluded. As I mentioned in a previous post I was sobered by the reality of the situation. I still have MUCH to learn. I still loved this game though. I was seeing things well and sure, against a higher level opponent like yourself I'd have surely gotten my clock cleaned. But at the time I felt I played well for my level. So I'm not sure the Pride you're speaking of and the pride I described here really correlate. 🤔
