Tonydal- Wow I didn't see that at all. Makes me wish I was playing as white in this game and finished off like that, nice find, it would have been a really nice mate.
Paulgottlieb- thanks very much for your input. I thought about 12...Nf5 but I also thought that I would not be able to really do much at that point, and thought this was a good chance for an attack. I was also a little bit worried that after Qh3 he I would need to push my h-pawn up. But I think that might have been better as my center was quite good at that point, as you said.
I never considered 14...Nd4, I was too worried about the double pawns. But you are very right. That wouldn't have been a problem at all considering, I really would have had an extremely strong center giving very little space to his other knight. And the bishop wouldn't have really been able to get out properly.
I guess I was being too greedy by taking that pawn. Thanks for Rb8, I didn't really know how to continue from there, I tend to be too focused on one thing when I play sometimes.
Wow you really are right about Bg5, I don't know how I did not notice that at all in the game or even now :/, that would have been bad.
About Qe7, I was so worried that he would do Bd6 but seeing it now he would have lost Knight and bishop for rook. Or I could have been took his rook instead with my knight (after he took my rook with bishop).
Thanks very very much for your feedback, it really helped. I can't believe I missed out on a lot. It's weird that people can see the game very differently on what others missed, etc, but also probably because you are a better player. Anyways thanks so much!
So I played three games against some guy who was exactly the same rated as me on live. Won two as black and lost one as white. It would be nice if you guys can help me analyze these games, especially the first one (which was the last game, as though I won I think we both could have done much better moves given more time or if we were better lol).
So I would post all three, but if you don't want to look through all just check out the first one, thanks!
Lost my second game due to a blunder at the very last move. I got too excited :/
