position over material
Sort:
So I appologize, I read that we should post here before analyzing the game with an engine. So please note that I have seen the analysis from chess.com of this game ~2000 engine. My main question however was on move 10 when the engine claims this was a mistake. Please see comments on this move and let me know if you agree?
"trading some pieces here and keeping pressure on the king". I dont think you want to trade pieces in that sort of position, but I could be wrong. 13.Qxg4 looks interesting but I might be missing something.
Interesting game. Shame you played d3 and only a couple of moves later decided you wanted d4 though.

yes, I certianly lost some tempo thier. Thanks for the insight with Qxg4. Interesting that the analysis didn't show that either. with the bishop pinned to the king its a free minor piece. Also it seems from that point that it was a blunder for black to move the bishop to d7, he should have (+2.53) MISTAKE - Your opponent made a mistake! Better was 12... Kd8... thanks as always!
well i think u should have played 10.Bb5+
look what follows :
10.Bb5+ Bd7 11.Qxg4 cxd4 12.Bxd7 Qxd7 13.Qxd7 Kxd7 14.Nxd5
I think that this position is very promising and solid.
The bishop sacrifice was risky. I cant figure out how black could exploit the advantage (11. ..Qe7 was a mistake) but it is certainly not a blunder.
You had a forced mate at the end:
