my first win as black

tell me what you guys think, any critique is nice. thanks

Nice job!

thanks mikey

When you played 9. ... Bg5, did you notice that your opponent can just take your piece? You put a member of your army in jeopardy and he was captured as a result with no gain to you.

no, blunder, my bad

Congrats. May there be many more in your future.

thanks, you too

obviously 9. ... Bg5 was a blunder as was 8. ... Nh5 (to some extent). However, your mouse slip was ok - the knight happened to be guarded by a pawn! Lucky!! 

16. Kh1 was bad by white - 16. Kh2 at least defends the pawn on h3.

Nice finish by you. 17. ... Rf6 is a very nice move.

im impressed by the finish, overall this is a great game :)

whay are u impressed?

nice finish, but i dont like the opening and somewhat your (opening) mid game

anyway nice job for defeating an opponent higher than you by 100 points (rating)

Good game.  Just to prevent any mouse slips, put your settings so that you have to hit 'submit move'.  This makes it so that if your mouse slips, you can take back the move as long as you don't hit 'submit move'.  Still, the opening was odd, and I'm just not going to repeat what everyone else has said so far.  Nice upset.

can u do that live?

Well ihitdrums, I'm gonna give you some advice on how you can capitilize on your opponents play, when hey play a move like 3. c4 then you should see that he has created two types of weaknesses. One he has created a great location for your knights and two a terrible black square weakness, notice that all three pawns are on white squares. And when your opponent cramps himself with his pieces try and keep him locked in and develop and take space instead of sitting back and just developing. And most of the time moves like 8...Nh5 are a waste of valuable time and dont accomplish your goals. So try a better move to improve your postion like getting your rooks active. And watch for simple mistakes made by your opponent like when on move 13. g3?? for one it opens up his kingside and also allows you to play Bxh3 winning a pawn. And instead of 15. Qf6 how about 15..Qh4 it saves time. But besides that good finish and way to go for the exposed king!

thanks chessbybook.

thats some great advice

Bd2 is slighty inaccurate,Be3 is better

Anytime mate, and if you wanna play some time ihitsdrums go ahead and send me a challenge.

what makes a move "inaccurate"

Well usually inaccurate means slightly worse, like if it wastes time or has no purpose. Because on e3 the bishop would be much more powerful bd2 is inaccurate.
