Keep My Positional-Strategic Game Sharp

Sort:

This is just me taking a break from my normal open and tactical games to take whatever the computer throws my way. Some members in the forum have commented that the computer's positional and strategic play is not as sharp as its tactical ability.

The opening played is passive, allowing Black to achieve a sharp and aggressive position. On the 27th move, White plays 27. Be5, which dictates the flow of the rest of the game with the pin it creates. Overall, there were some moves I really had to think about: 29. ... Qc5 and 30. ... d3+ among others. I got the computer into a bind, and perhaps I just drove it to blunder, resulting in me having a passed pawn in the endgame with which I could wrap things up.
