Relatively new to chess, didn’t start actually trying to get better until 3 weeks ago and my rating has gone from 700-1000+ would like to hopefully keep improving and read that analyzing is a great way to improve, i already did a bit but would like someone else to look through, this was my only game in last 24 hours, will keep posting some wins and losses that I need help analyzing, thanks happy.png

I don't see your analysis. That's what helps you improve. You've got to at least identify the key points of the game and where your opponent went wrong and what you might have done better.

I wrote my analysis on a notebook, I’m keeping all the games I play in a notebook with analysis, I just want to see what other people think of the game to see if I missed something

Well then, just copy if into the game score and we'll be all set.

I don't think its a great game for a lot of learning.  Your opponent played like crap.  You made a couple of blunders, and only a very few clear cut positional mistakes that are easy "teachable" moments.  Like 11. na3.  Where is that knight going and what squares does it control?  The beginner saying "a knight on the rim is dim" is very much a beginner only thing, as there are times where a knight on the rim makes sense, but it is useful to get in the habit of double checking such a move because, especially for beginners, it is generally a mistake.  On the rim, a knight has fewer potential squares to move and controls fewer, less central squares.  Its not generally a good place, and when it does make sense, a further journey is generally planned.  Here nc3 or nd2 both make more sense.  Maybe you didn't want to block your b2 bishop, but on c3 the knight both controls the central square e4 and helps support d5.  D5 right away, not moving the knight, is actually stockfish's preferred move because it opens up the diagonal and forces black's knight to the rim.  Black's knight is not undeveloping to b8, but if nb4, a3 forces it to the rim -- where its dim happy.png  Say it with me, "a knight on the rim is dim"  happy.png  Ha, sorry, but we all go through the stage where that is useful and now is your turn.  

14. ng5 discussed by notmtwain was just a blunder...take the free knight!

I just want to say for a 1000 rated player you show some good positional understanding(of course not taking knights that are hanging is something that people of your level do to-but that will pass eventually)

I think ArtNJ made some good points. I just want to add a few observations

Wow, thanks everyone! I for sure missed some stuff, I learned a lot about just moving my knights, trying to take and hold the middle. Lasker nephew, that’s a great mate! I was looking at queen g7 to trying and get the quick mate to end the game, didn’t see that great Bishop sac. For sure will post a interesting game of mine on here regularly. My next goal is to get to 1200
