Did I miss a win?

I fought every step of this contest, under pressure from the beginning, playing someone with a higher ranking  and better game.  As the net tightened around me, I saw for a fleeting moment an opportunity to escape, sieze the game, and claim victory.  But I didn't take it.  Would move 25 bishop to g7 have swung the match in my favour?  Please post your thoughts, I will really appreciate the feedback.

1...f5!?! BLUNDER

Play 1...c5! and go into a Sicilian Defence, Najdorf Variation. You can play wild and crazy attacking chess and most of all its is SOUND!

Here is one of my wins with the Najdorf. Cool

16.Ne5 looks like a knock out.

25... or 26...Bg7 looks very good.

It looks to me like 26...B-g7 loses to 27.BxN. If Black plays 27...BxQ then White has 28.R-e7+ 28...K-d8 29.R-d7+ if Black plays 29...K-e8 then 30.R-e1++ or if Black plays 29...K-c8 then 30.RxB+ 30...K-d8 31.Rxd6+ and mate follows shortly.

In my above comment 30.RxB should be R-g7

That's not mate, black has Kf8 (which also escapes the checks).

It seems wafflemaster is correct.  30. K-e8 would release black from the pressure of an immediate check.  I suppose white would then play 31. Nc4 at which point I could've put my queen on f2, taking a pawn and threatening the white rook and bishop.

To all contributors, thanks for the input.

We also forgot to mention after 30. R-e1+ black has 30. bxR-e1!!!

actually after 25.bg7 Qxc6+( this is best since the others lose) 26.qxc6 nxc6 27.bxb2+ kd2 28.kxc6 black is about 1.4 pawn points ahead

I've just checked this out, thanks.  25. bg8 forces the white king onto b2.  Then 26. Qxc6+ qxc6 27. nxc6 Rxb2+ 28. Kc1 Kxc6 29. Bxf5 gxf5.  This leaves blacks rook and bishop putting a lot of pressure on whites king.

you need to learn basic openings i think, the opening you played basically gives the game totally away to white, i consider most of your opening moves as errors. try more standard openings with less danger to your king

Thanks, you're absolutely right.

Which move I you referring to?

bean_Fischer

My analysis :

This is an opening mistake.

1. ... f5??

8. ... Qf7? -> better 8. ... Nf3 though it does't help much.

The rest I skip. Because if it's an opening mistake, it would be a waste of time to analyze.

Suggestion:

Play 1. ... e4 or 1. ... c5, or 1 ... c6 or 1. ... c6. Then I will probably analyze.

If you want to play 1. ... f5. Then you should do 2. ... fxe4.

lol bean fischer that's not great advice

 

Indeed, but not because of your variation where after ...Nxe4 Qxh8 Nf6 Black has something that could be considered as vaguely playable, because to play 2...fxe4 you need to still have a pawn on f5 (which is not the case if White plays the correct and already winning 2.exf5).

y f5?? BLUNDER

Well, 1. e4 f5 is just bad. I just try to make it a little better, but not good enough.

Dealing with bad situation, one got to choose a bad one over bad ones.
