Hey all I would like some feedback on my analysis from this game. I am white and lost but played one of my favorite openings. I would like anyone's advice on how to be more accurate and someone to comment on variations and maybe add their own. Perhaps IM Pfren would honor me with his thoughts! Thank you so much!

CNoahSay

Please, I spent a good amount of time annotating it myself.

CNoahSay

Thank you for showing me that tactic and your thoughtful input! It will not be wasted.

At move 59 black had a chance to win the game

What Smnrkss said. You generally played OK but blundered with e4.

Another plan other than Nf3 is to play Bd3, Ne2, 0-0, Rae1, f3, and push for e3-e4. If he gets this in white is usually better. 

TwoMove

The most noticable thing to me, was that when white doesn't do something to restrict the black's white squared bishop, the minority attack doesn't acheive very much. White needed to react to bg4, probably by ne5, then probably finding something different to the minority attack.

I wonder if there's anything resembling an "Army of One" attack....you know where a lone pawn disruptively takes on (3) opp pawns to their bewilderment, then dissing laffter, then "how dare that peon !" surprize ?

First of all, 70. Ra3+ doesn't draw, it loses, as well as the continuation in the game.

Queen vs. Rook is a win, albeit a difficult one.

And if you play 71.Ra2+, then Kc1.

It's actually pretty ez if you know what you're doing (as you probably don't).

I love attempting an army of one attack! At least to confuse them! Thanks for your comments Lola. I can win a q+k vs a k+R. I thought it was a draw but you are correct. I feel like I reached the Philidor but prolly not.

So you're on board w/ me ?....time for a Caribbean cruize luv !

If you have any Army of One example pleez show me. And yes, losing that tempo w/ triangulation gets you the forest Q vs R win !....u just hafta see it from the trees....Smile....
