Tactics and hanging pieces
Sort:
The players on the board next to mine called this game an "over agressive tactical slaughter". And they might be right =P. In this game, Black makes seemingly great moves, when they were actually blunders. I played purely with tactics, no actual solid gameplay. I'm pretty sure that Black could have stopped my attack easily, and wondering at which point I went a bit overboard.
Cool game and great play.
I think you are focused on the wrong aspect of the game... THE GAME MEANING CHESS IN GENERAL i.e in your quest to be a MASTER one day I am sure
you are seeking general solid feedback, i.e views or advice... well...
The real danger lies in your opening, i.e
Black to move
15. Nb6
now at this point if you want a PUMP UP I.E in relfection to your rating of course
you saw the entire board, i.e more moves ahead than Black... but His LACK of seeing the board makes this happen... if you think in your mind that a 2000 rated player would let you away with this opening you would be wrong in that
belief...
This seems to be a post about openings, seeing the entire board and tempo
how it effects winning and losing the game once you blunder... Blacks disregard
for tempo literally loses him the game... Now one could argue you have vision
but in A quest for you to improve 600 rating points dont look for cheap, easy
and un realistic opening wins... they dont exsist in the world of 2000 play...
I am sure some people here will say, no I am wrong, it does and this, that and the other.. but At that level it's assumed you both know your openings and are ready for the finer parts of chess, like the end game, and shaping the game from a mid game to some kinda plan to win i.e king position, a few pawns and
a passed pawn etc... SO
keep on studying, learning, playing but most of all, dont get caught up in the fancy... learn openings to the point where you dont loose because of them a good goal would be to play 2000 ranked or 1800 ranked or even chess partner on here ( ON HARD... little chess partner ) and play till you are in the mid game, almost to the end... and the more you keep doing that in my eyes the stronger and faster you will rise from 1400... to 1800 because it will then be how is your end game! how are you vision wise to get it to a win from mid game... and that is where along with ( A LARGE VOLUME OF REAL MID GAME CHESS TASTICS, pins etc.. ) You will advance... good luck hope I helped a little.... And nice game but
you my end thought is you cant count on this level of reaction in the 2000 plus crowd... even 1800....
