When I skimmed through the game quickly, 14...Rh4 caught my eye. Other moves seem to be fine up until then and the next move to look at would be 17...Kh8. In that case, Kxf7 would solve the bishop pair problem at the end of the game.
White got their pieces out and black didn't finish development. Moves like 14...Nc6 and 14...Bd7 might be more solid for black. Is this a sign that after dynamic play you put on the brakes as you near move 15? I would never have spotted and played 10...Qf6.
Thanks for sharing.
This is in my book the worst kind of loss.. When you have a really good game with no blunders and just genereally playing a proper game of chess, and then when you finally think you got it in the bag a dreadful blunder occurs...
Like in this game where I was really happy with my play all around and towards the end I was up a full rook. But he defended well considering his situation and was quite stubborn so I had my guard up. But then when I saw I had the chance to exchange queens I was sure it was over. I didn't even think twice before I took the pawn on f4 to force the trade, but I realized immediately afterwards that disaster was coming... My clear winning position turned to a clear losing position in one move.
Kudos to my opponent for being so resilient. But hopefully I, and maybe some of you out there aswell, can learn something from this. Never take a win for granted and let your guard down even if you're up a huge amount of material!!
