Good idea Paul...
4.g4?! i am kind of proud of that pawn stayed there pretty much the whole game and stunted his development
11.Qxe3?! the "puter" really wants me to double up my pawns rather than enjoy those wonderful diagonals?
12.Bg2?! well of course im going to castle kingside the only place left for him to develop is queenside
14.c3?! i can feel his Queen's anxiety to check me lol
19. f4? this island looks mega cool "que no?"
20.Rd1?! alot happens around this pawn in the next few moves it needed to be better protected and it was worth losing the a2 pawn
22.Qf4? instead of d3 im not trying to be confrontational im trying to "judo"
25.d5 i felt like it was good i dont like the "puter's" suggestion... what do you think?
27.Qd4? computer still wants me to fight queenside is the suggested lines really "better"
30.Qg4? still positioning not confronting pushing the pawn negates what ive worked so hard for
31.Kg2? saves a lot of checking and possibly pinning
32.Rd6? restricts the queens ability to move adds pressure to the rank i thought long and hard about that one...
36.Qf4?! i had a lot of options in all preferable scenarios i liked this one best
41. ...Rf8? i was surprised and a little disappointed BUT HERES THE REAL QUESTION COULD I HAVE STILL WON IF HE HAD DONE SOMETHING ELSE?
I felt like i had a tangible advantage with position and development and i was determined to ride it out to the end but the whole game it looks like the computer disagreed ... does anybody recognize my tactic as a particular stratagy style or any simularities with something else i can study to understand why i played what i did?
Thanks :)
This is the first game i bothered to computer analyze. I was surprised at the computer's comments and would like a 2nd opinion.
I dont think ill play anymore "online" chess i prefer the "Live" i get too stressed worried about losing a game that takes so much time to complete :P
