This is a game from when I was below the 1200 mark. I consider it my best win ever, even though I missed some faster mates at the end.
In this game I played weakly facing Owen Defence but I pulled a middlegame tactic that gave me a small material advantage that I successfully converted into a win in the endgame.
Messrs Rensch, Pruess, am a big fan and would love to subject myself to ridicule with two examples of me throwing away good positions in my patented braindead style. These are from a few months ago and while I've improved a little in the meantime my problem of tossing wins in the waste basket persists...

Would love to show some wins but David, read your advice on learning more from losses so here's a bad loss and a draw from what I thought was a winning position...
I ran into some difficulty with the French Defense Winawer Poisoned pawn variation, how is it supposed to be played ?

I think you shouldn't have played Qxg7 (I'm not familiar with the French, so I might be wrong).
I consider this one to be one of my better achievements on this site:

In the following one I feel I may have improved on what Ruy Lopez Möller Defence theory I found in my database by not playing the b3 bishop back to a4 but rather to c2 immediately. Consequently I think I gained an advantage, and although my opp crumbled rather easily in the end, I think I had good winning chances after stronger 28th moves, like 28...Qc5.

I was using the black pieces. I ran into trouble in the middle game and had to change Queens. The exchanges were equal and black had a better pawn stucture, then I lost the knight during time pressure, although I think I should have played Qc7 before moving one of the knights. I am just wondering if there are better plans for black in that position, because the game could easily have been equal.
Here's one of my best games with a pretty crazy king evacuation

Here's a really good vote chess game that just ended--Opening Experts v. Endgame Experts.

P.S. It got to an interesting endgame.
Perhaps this is a bit mean.
