You won in the end but your pawn structure was really weak, I'm suprised black never took advantage. The knight fork could have been seen two moves before and prevented.
thanks, i didn't think I was going to win. I was kicking myself for not looking for the fork. I have been having trouble with my pawns and the end game.
Yes, there are a few mistakes. Here is one.
In the first game 37. Qc4 is a checkmate.
And your pawn structure is not really "beautiful" ...
In the first game,
13. Be3 loses a pawn.
17. c5. You could have played Nxd4 winning a piece.
22. Qxg7. You could have played Rd1 skewering the queen.
In the 3rd game,
10. Nb5. This is just asking for trouble. You voluntarily allow yourself to have a pinned knight that is attacked by a pawn. It's only a matter of time before black wins it.
27. Nc6 allows black to take your rook.
43. Bc4. You could have won with 43. Kh4. You must promote your pawn, trading it leads to a draw.
I looks like you still need to work on simple tactics. Don't lose pieces so easily and don't fail to win pieces from your opponent when they are given up easily.
Study opening theory as well. Your pawn structure that you used in every single game with the e, d, and c pawns is really weak and leaves a number of holes in your position that allow your opponent to do bad things to you. Learn openings so that your position is much more solid, and your opponent will have alot fewer options against you.
I've been going over this game I played. I would just like any comments please, I made a good number of blunders in the beginning. I'm trying to review my games and learn from them. Thanks
