Game demonstrating Positional Understanding without Tactical Base is erroneous

yes

at 34.  if you had Qxc5, it seems like white would have been screwed.  especially if white tried Nxe4.  

because then Qc1+   Kh2;  g1 (queen)+  don't know the notation

don't see how white would have survived

34>  Q

"Tactical base" in the thread title is a mislabel. It should be replaced with "Accurate Calculation" A bit of a difference

It shouldn't be called "tactical base" or "accurate calculation," but rather "technique." I don't understand why you were so eager to give back your piece to attack the king; you could've just taken White's d5-pawn and had a ferocious attack yet coming.

Accurate calculation / technique I believe they are the same thing? Khpa I completely agree about the knight as I say in the assessment in my annotations that there was no forced win by leaving it enprise, although 25 or 26 fxg2 wins the exchange, nonetheless and think the line I listed and you imply where knight retreats via Nd8 was solid and kept the advantage just fine, seems I was "drunk" with attacking prowess.

The computer didn't mind leaving the knight to die only IF i played 25 or 26 fxg2 as well

Wish you could edit thread titles

Bump

What a really complicated game, especially coming from a queens gambit, you played good until the last couple moves there

Hey for my future reference can someone tell me what turned them off / was so noninspiring about about this game thread? I put in some time and effort in the annotations hoping to start a discussion / have some feedback but obviously that has not taken place. If it was boring, if the thread came across like I was a pretentious d*ck if I insulted your religion, please, PLEASE let me know for future reference. Thank you

BTW thanks to those that have given feedback so far!

I guess ill bump one last time and then ill delete this thread since its so disinteresting

Alright, someone gave me some constructive criticism and explained that there is way to much annotations for viewers to wade through, duly noted for next time I'll keep em brief

good game, aj415, looks like you got excited and tried to force the win - but this happens to everyone, lol!

you should practice with the position after 26...Qxd5.

I'm think in the opening after a quick glance at positional features of 3...f5, about developing candidate maneuvers like castling queenside, gianing control and prepare for e4-pawn advance, Bg5!? to pin Black's e7-pawn, Qd3!? trap if Black maneuvers ...Nb4, and Nc3 or Nd2; therefore, I'd calculate my chacnes with development maneuvering order something like Qd3, Nd2, 0-0-0, Re8 or positional clean up Kb1, then e4-breakthrought to gain control of center with knight sacrifice. Also, these are typical or almost typical Maroczy Bind positional features at this 3...f5 position. So the question becomes, "What's my plan as White to break the bind? and as Black, What's my plan to convert this bind?"

i agree completely with kitomitsuki.  Your opening and middle were very solid, i must admit that bind would have thrown me off. However he wasted a few moves and pratically gave you the initiative. You rushed things a bit and got carried away, especially against somebody rated higher than you. when your opponent wants to screw around with pointless a3 and h3 pawn moves just improve your piece placement, once an opening comes build the pressure and dont get hurried when your up material.  Usually when you win material you lose some of the beautiful board position which won you the material in the first place.  Also your pawn structure was inferior to his, however your understanding of fighting for key squares was very solid and will make you a great chess player.  Dont worry about losing a won game though, it happens to the best of us!:)
