Just a space to talk about your early stages of games!

Here's one for you guys...

The above game with annotations I added, because I have nothing better to do:

Thanks for annotating my game

I made quite a lot of inaccuracies... Yet still pulled through...

Here's another one:

Thank you einWWe for posting your game! Let me analyze it for you!

When the opposing side castles, it would be a good time to castle too, for it allows your queen and other pieces to become more involved. It's also a good idea to not let your left pieces hang and not move! For it plays into the game and allows you to not get overwhelmed.

When the opponent plays d5, the best move their would be d3, protecting your overwhelmed pawn and securing your pieces in the center! Also, when you played the 12th move, you missed a forced queen "exchange" For you could've done Qf3+, (which you do later on), causing less pieces and a faster endgame with your advantage.

xd4 on the 13th move isn't great for it puts a free bishop for the opponent to take, instead, you could have gone on c3, putting even more pressure onto the already threatened knight.

I do indeed like your enthusiasm to continuously check the opposing king, which further allows you to send your pieces up.

The inevitable queen trade did occur, with you having a slight disadvantage, with the opponents having a better piece structure and you being quite underdeveloped.

You did miss the opportunity of Rxg7, taking the free pawn(s). You had also missed Rd1, threatening to eliminate the bishop who would have no protection and no way of moving, (due to how the king would be checked. However, you did find this move, presumably forcing a resignation.

Well done einWWe, thank you for the post!
