Hey! Could anyone give any insight onto this game I played a while back?
The reason that 11. Nxg5 is brilliant is because it sacrifices the knight, but you can win it back in 12. Qh5+ when the recapture with 11... Bxg5.
Isee this is a pretty decent game for white for 800 elo Here I explain every move to you as u wanted insights
White grabs whole center by e4 and black goes c6 hoping to create pawn pyramid for defence then white responded with knight f3 controlling more squares black responds with d5 successfully creating pawn chain
White pushes pawn to e5 gaining more space on kings side and black develops it's bishop on kingside preparing for castle
White develops it's f bishop to d3 gaining more control and ready to castle and black develops it's queen side knight it isn't a bad move for black but it isn't the best as it's blocking queen side bishop
White castles and the white king is safe and black moves the queen side knight again to b5 which is a bad move as black breaked the first opening principle never move a piece twice in opening unless it's attacked
White goes b3 preparing to put bishop on b2 black goes f6 hoping to attack whites pawn but it's a bad move as ur king is exposed and black still didnot develop pieces u may have doubt that white did same but white is advantageous now because of the knight you moved twice giving a free move to improve position for white
White goes c4 attacking black pawn and grabbing an opportunity to give some checks to king and improve his position with pieces and black takes pawn on e5 not aware of blacks thought of attacking the black king who is exposed from a long time
White captures black pawn on e5 now the game is equal to close and white has negligible advantage because eof his castled king now black goes g5 thinking of kicking the kingside white knight which is a mistake
Its a mistake because white can sacrifice the white knight and black should recapture the knight with black bishop otherwise he will lose the pawn on h7 because both knight and bishop are attacking it So black recaptures knight and this gives a chance to white to develop queen and check the king attack the bishop at same time and after the king moves some where white captures the bishop with queen and then black trades the queen or may not trade no matter what black does white is up a pawn and if white don't blunder white wins the game
I hope this helps I typed this for a very long time I am a 13 year old chess player and enthusiastic guy in chess and coding i am also a pro in chess I usually play chess and speedrun to 2000 my peak rating is 2042 in my main account and I am also a neighborhood school chess coach for my chess club at school If u are satisfied with my explanation you can give me a trophee
I can recommend H4ackAndMate to learn some basic openings like caro kann and learn the only opening and i recommend you to focus on developing your pieces instead of attacking opponent when your own king is at worse condition you should castle with 10 moves and you know I am 248 am year ago now in my main account i am 2042 the thing I noticed below 1000 elo is many people either lose at opening or endgame we just need to focus on development and attacking and don't learn gambits just focus on opening if u follow my advice u will gain 100 to 250 elo atleast if u have doubts u can ask me
