I played these two games about an hour ago while waiting in queue for KFC.
I maneuvered the black pieces in both game. Both were somewhat comfortable wins so I haven't run any engine analysis prior writing this thread. But I do believe there were a few questions that could contribute to bettering my(and other players of similar rating) skills.
The main theme in game 1 was giving away pawn(s) for an initiative. Game 2 was about keeping the bishops I guess.
So the question is, was there any counterplay that White had? And in Game 1, was it a losing or a winning position for Black?
Sorry, but after 15. Qd4 in the first game you're just down two pawns. Not exactly one-sided and if it was, it would be one-sided in your opponent's favor.
As played through 20: If 21.Rxg3, R and Q now focused on g2 so 21. ...g2g3 is one of black's only moves. Beyond this there are several possibilities but White can trade evenly being up a Bishop.
