I got whopped by kaushikk,funnily i resigned in a won position!!!
Niki, If you don't show us where u went wrong and what u thought when you went wrong how can we help u? U r just showing ur best moves
Im no expert but in the first game I'm surprised your opponent played Qxb4 in move 9. He could have played d5 first forking your bishop and knight. Even if you take his queen he could have taken it back with his knight. He would have had an extra material.

I accept your views that Qxb4 is an inaccuracies
but d5 looks to be a good move and doesnt work bcoz of 0-0-0
work on endgames - GM Eugene Perelshyten's series on practical endgaems is good
First game :
3...e6 !? (Icelandic gambit) were always suspicious to me. You need to be really booked up to make that playable.The more usual move is 3...c6 4.dxc6 Nxc6 and White cannot push d4 for a long time. For that reason, White's 5.Nf3 ? in the second game is a real gift for Black.
12.f3 ? is a real lemon - it loses time for nothing. Nf3 and white just has one more pawn (12.Nf3 Re8+ 13.Kd2)
18.Be3 ? : why exchange your bishop against his, when you have some initiative (that weakens when you trade) and he is underdeveloped (you are helping him) ? Just cashing on white's last pointless move by ...Rxa2 left you with a good position (material equality, but more active pieces).
Second game :
6...Qe7 ? is pointless - this traps the bishop for a cheap tactic (...Bxc4+) but White can prevent this while developing by 7.Be2, in which case you have lost one move and a half : you will play the queen again to unlock the bishop, and moving the queen is not developing, so two queen moves, vs. one bishop move where the bishop is not on an optimal square (but still out).

I dont know why u say e6 and Qe7 as blunders, they are the mainlines of the opening :P (And Yes, I know the opening very well coz i studies it personally to a large extent).
Qe7 is the main move and is a good move coz it can fall for discoveries including 7.Qa5+ ... Bd7!! . And it does look like I am lacking development but after 7. Be2 ... Bc4 is not a bad move coz, even though black moved his bishop twice he is still better in devolopment as black has devoloped 4 pieces for whites absolutely pointless 2
12. f3 isn't such a bad move, it is actually the only good move from my perspective unless you wanna go on the wild tour with the king. If you didnt play that then Rhe8+ Kd6and c6 will lead to problems. And Black is definitely better.
18... Be3 as you explain is looking to be the worst move of the game as I am exchanging pieces when i am material down, and inturn also losing initiative, I should have made some other move like Re3 but at that point I never considered it

Ok for ...e6, but again, being the mainline of something doesn't make it good. And I did not say "blunders". (btw, you should stop studying deeply borderline openings, but that's another problem)

You are a very brave man if you prefer Black after 7.Be2 Bxc4 8.0-0 (diagram below). It is white who has more development, because 1- the queen does not count as developed, especially on the e file when White will soon play Re1, 2-White's Be2 is developed, so in real count it's three pieces to three, 3-White has castled, 4- the f8 bishop is locked for some time.
12. f3 isn't such a bad move, it is actually the only good move from my perspective unless you wanna go on the wild tour with the king. If you didnt play that then Rhe8+ Kd6and c6 will lead to problems. And Black is definitely better.
True, I missed 12.Nf3 (?) Re8+ 13.Kd2 Ne5+ ! This being said, I doubt Black has something tangible for his pawn after the text, much less a better position.
18... B[d]3 as you explain is looking to be the worst move of the game as I am exchanging pieces when i am material down, and inturn also losing initiative, I should have made some other move like Re3 but at that point I never considered it
Again, 18...Rxa2 and you get your money back, while keeping some more development. I do not see where ...Re3 goes.
I've been playing chess for almost over 4 years know and currently I am kinda struggling to push it up a notch.
Chess is more of an obsession to me. I play it almost everyday after school for approx 2 hrs. But even though I wanna increase my rating so bad, I play it too casually. Only in the times of an important tournament or during the days that I really wanna show my strength is when I try and put my effort (and Yeah! It really pays off) .
I believe that my self analysis wouldn't be as good as the analysis done by those who see me play or do observe my games. In this forum I would like to show you guys some games off mine trying to explain every game as it comes. By doing so I expect all the readers to analyse and even post out your comments, pointing out where I have gone wrong and how I can improve my chess.
From my Point of view I know that:
The following are few games I played from a recent Tournament of Mine (India 11 - 13 April). It wasnt rated, but it was the U - 17 state championship so I met quite a lot of rated players (BTW I dont have a FIDE rating
).
Game 1
These games are timed 1hr + 30s bonus per person so we took a lot of time thinking into each move
I know I missed some oppurtunities. Dont get too tough on me but It was after some time the last game of the match and therefore lot of people were watching (made me uncomfortable).
Game 2 was a real easy win. Not interested in showing it :D
and Game 3 was little too embarresing for me as I missed a clear way to trap his Queen :/ ( I was real sleepy after playing 2 3hr games is another acceptable excuse..... hopefully :/)
After Nb4 game went preety well till I made some real bad blunders (and yeah it is my choice whether to show them or NOT!) .
In the rest 6 games I won 4.5. The game I lost was becoz my mobile was ringing.... . Dont worry I trashed that guy who called me. If you want me to show them please comment and I will do so.
Plz comment your thought and help me Improve my chess
The more detail the better
And I definitely will read your comments so dont be hesitant for typing a lot.
And of course..... plz be relevant
