Hi there,

This game seemed to go in the right way before I started to lose advantage and then I got totally vulnerable and I completely lost my concentration.

Which is the most significant blunder, according to you?

thanks,

bye

Thanks a lot guys,

I understand your comments, and I actually cannot see how I missed to play d5 during the game...

I have a lot of work to do Laughing

cheers

2...Nf6 is a mistake by Black. After 3.cxd5 cxd5 4.Nf3 you can kick that knight with pawns and get a great position.

I concur (well, if you mean 3... Nxd5). It's called the Marshall Defense and it is classified as "dubious". My best win (against a 2100-rated player) was against the Marshall Defense.

Of course, it only helps if your play is otherwise solid.
