My first complete rated game at chess.com

I am especially curious on how I should have handled his opening.

great played game, and great annotations, hope i can play you sometime :)

good game! i agree with your annotations :)

Very well done - you should be proud of yourself.

You hit a few minor snags here and there, but you were able to get out of them alright.

Congratulations on a well-played game.

Nd5 was premature. Develop pieces. I'd look at h3 and g4 to drive the B back and use them as my main attack at his King.

Very iffy Bishop sac.

67 f4 is drawn, but it would make your opponent have to think how to handle a Q vs Q & pawn endgame. Decent winning chances against a newer player.

You played a good game. I think your opponent could have played a better game and but even with a bishop behind, you almost had a winning game (wel done!)

A bit more luck in your endgame next time and you have your first winning game!

Good game!

I think 49 Rc4...Kb5 50 Rxc8 would have been better in that position.

Yeah the way I handled the outside passed pawns was horrible.  I ran it through chessmasters engine when I got a lot of yikes and ouches.

since you are in curious of your opening, the tempo should be watch for. 6.Ne3 would be a good move, developing with threats.

 I like that idea.

Good Game
