This is my round 4 game from today, I was 3-0. I thought I did pretty well. The time control was 45 minutes, so 40 minutes 5 second delay. I think it was obvious I was starting to run low on time when I started losing. Anything I missed, did good or anything you would like to point out?
Just a game from Today
Sort:
Looks like black was winning. I like black's tactic with the pawns around the end.
I think his last name is something close to "schloesser"
I'm thinking you could've done something different moves 14-20, but we'll look at that later... maybe a different rook move on 24 that would've let you start some sort of attack on his kingside... we'll see.
1. It was not wise to exchange the dark squared bishops as his bishop was almost useless as you had fianchetoed on the king side. Your dark squared bishop against his knight would have been a good deal.
2. You should have tried to open on the queen side by c4 by having the knight on a3 or d2. You pushed e4 before consolidating the queen side pawn structure.
3. And move 18 should have been Re1 (you played c4) followed by c3 or Nf3
