This is a short, fun game I played recently. I'll try to post an embarrassing loss here to be reviewed later but I wanted to share this little win. We learn more from our losses than our wins, but I took some time looking over the game, so I think I learned a little. Any and all analysis is appreciated.

Thanks,

 5...Bd6 6.Bg5? loses the big advantage, you missed something here

take a look back after 5...Bd6

9...Qxf6 , at first glance its looks like a blunder due to pawn fork (e5), but its actually a good move, maintaining a good pawn structure

10...Bxe5? oh no! a blunder

11.Qh5+ this secures the win

by the way in your analysis, 11.dxe5 Qxe5+ 12.Qe2 Qxb2

13.Qf3+ with an advantage for white

Tatiana, thank you for responding.

Of course I missed something, I always do - I just hope to miss fewer and fewer things in the future. The time limit, to be noted, was 15 3. Not an excuse, but it wasn't hours long or anything. Smile And I'm not surprised my analysis is faulty either, as this is the first more major analysis of a game I've done and I'm only rated 1300.

All in all, though, I appreciate someone who can alert me to mistakes like the ones I made in the game.

Thanks,
