My first online game
Sort:
By first online game I don't mean the first ever game online, but the first "online game" in here, chess.com. I have done a lot live chess during the 3,5 weeks I have played. Before that I hardly knew the basic rules of chess and for example didn't know anything about castling! So I'm very much a beginner.
I felt much better playing online chess than live, because I had time to analyze each of my moves and think further. Also the chance for huge cockups is lower in this format, which is good news for me.
I would really appreciate if someone took the time to see this game and maybe point out better or alternative routes I could have taken or played. Obviously the opponent is low rated and played rather badly, but still, I felt I played a good game.
Edit. At 12.Nd5 when I said he would lose his queen aswell is wrong, but he would end up in a very bad position if he let me check his king.
