10...Rc8 lead to a soltis setup in your yougoslav attack. 12... Qa5 was better than 12... Nc4. I think that this is a poor move that exchange the knight attacking f3 against the undevelopped f1-bishop for what? place a rook on c4 ? poor square for a rook.
what was the time control ? both sides tends to have inaccurate moves. difficult to analyse i'm agree.
what about 24... Bb5 looking to 25... Bd3+ ?
however, nice win against a 1800+ opponent !
This is a game that I just played. I sacrificed and ended up winning, but only after 20 moves in a position that remained unclear, however my opponent blundered and allowed checkmate. I need help analyzing this, as all the possibilities get very complicated and although I've tried I'm not even close to working them all out
I'm currently a posted 1500, although I just finished the last two tournaments I entered with perfect scores, and the calculator on the USCF site estimates that I'll be around 1650 when the results from both are submitted. Here is the game:
I didn't really analyze it much, I just made a few comments on what I was thinking during the game. If you bothered to read all this, please post a comment or contribution about the game, and thanks for taking the time, I really appreciate it. The main thing I'm wondering right now, is whether my 17. e5 was a strong sacrifice, or just another justified blunder, as my name suggests.
