Slip-Up to Checkmate

Sort:
Velocity-inactive

Won this game last night and overall it was probably one of my better games played here at the site. Checkmate came a bit later than I would have liked (due to some late checks by my opponent) but I knew my checkmate was virtually inevitable. I'm still looking to improve on my game and any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Probably my best move is a sacrifice made in order to open the corridor for the eventual checkmate.

If 2.e5 then you just play Nd5

Nice game, however, with all the blunders you made you shouldn´t deserve it to win, but your opponent wasn´t any better, so i´m though glad you won.

Congratulations!

Hey cool, nicely veiled... Would you mind enlightening me? The point of me posting this here is so that more experienced players might offer advice on how to improve my tactics and thought processes. So if you want to add something concrete and not just leave some thinly veiled jab at my play, fine. Otherwise, I kindly suggest you keep out of my topic(s).

Yeah, bad wording on my part. I just don't like moving a piece that is between a bishop/queen/rook and my bishop/rook/queen.

one reason you won despite your poor opening (basically you gave him an extra move) is that after you castled, you opponent moved his queen to F3 instead od b3 or A4.  Intead of attacking your king he attacked your queenside.  Seems like it helped you.
