St. George Opening. Can you please analyze this?

Hello mates.

I think that I could had been a good chess player but I have an amazing problem of concentration and I usually ruin my games with a stupid forget, but this is probably my best game in my life (Pretty sad...).

I usually try to counteratack my concentration problems with strange but studied openings and this is my favourite: St. George Opening.

Please, I would appreciate your comments about if there is anything usable in my chess or I should definitely resign. This game I played Black against a player much more ranked than me.

Thank you very much for your advises.

¿Is this game worth of a club player level?

Black played bad

Well done on getting a good result from a higher player. Thats always good. I think that both sides played some bad moves but black made more in my opinion. Castling queenside in my opinion was a terrible idea. Personally i dont like the opening but it seems playable atleast. I would think this is club level standard (i have played with a club) but then again they have teams for all kinds of standards in clubs!

well nice game though but i think white was a bit too early in exchanging off the white bishop .he should have tried Ng7-e2 then moving the queenside pawns to open up blacks queenside .  

I think you did quite well on your part!!!  Dont worry about the concentration problem just dont stop playing chess!! 

I am not trying to be critical, but here are some things I noticed in the game.

1. White placed somewhat passively, not taking advantage of his center space.

2. Black made a serious error in 9...0-0-0?. If white was more aggressive, your dark square weaknesses on the queenside would be quickly exploited.

3. White's passed a-pawn should have been decisive. (see #5)

4. Both sides dropped many pawns. On move 27, White was winning, and I think he could have won. He should have noticed that the d pawn is weak. 28 c3! intends to defend the d4-c3 pawn chain with the bishop on a5, and eventually b4. Then, he can slowly and steadily push his advantage.

5. 19.Ne2! is a strong move, preparing to support the a-pawn with his b-pawn. Those two pawns should decide the game.

Toga II found something:

13...g4?
{Toga II (score 2.30 at depth 13) thinks this is not a good move} ({Toga II
suggests:} 13. ... axb5 14. Nbd2 Ndf6 15. Nxe4 Nxe4 16. Nd2 Nf6 17. Ra5 Kb6
18. b4 Bg7 19. c4 c6 20. f4 h6 21. cxb5 {(score 0.18 at depth 13)} )

As a previous poster said, the a-pawn should have been decisive.

I think that 30...f5 was not your best try in the  end game.  The pawn on g4 controls f3 and h3, so instead 30...Ke4 makes it so there is no reason to immediately push pawns to support it.  In this situation the Knight can be redirected to gain a pawn advantage on the kingside  The only way white can prevent the knight from winning h2 is with the king but if white makes and attempt at this then white will lose material via whatever exchange gets forced with the two queenside pawns possibly leading to a promotion.  Whites best try will probably end up with a trade of the bishop and knight as well as the c and d pawns with the King circling all the way around the board attacking the black pieces from behind down a pawn.  A clear victory for black seems imminent to me with solid play after 30...Ke4.  Among numerous possibilities for improved play by both sides I think that this is the place you should start examining the game to look at improving your play (or at least your results) in the future.  Nothing is more frustrating than getting to a favorable endgame and not being able to capitalize on it with a win.

I've taught many young students the game of chess and I would say you broke some pretty basic rules we teach them in the opening. 

Develop your pieces

Castle your king (to safety!)

Control the center

I feel like you need a teacher to build you a new chess foundation.  Yes you know how to move the pieces.  Yes you understand checkmate.  But somewhere along the line you have major gaps in your understanding.  Very easily you can grow 2 to 3 hundred points.
