I drew an unrated game against a 1200 this morning. Been having fun with the Scandinavian the last couple of weeks, so I thought I would give it a go. I feel like I bumbled it a bit. And I was defiantly moving to fast. Ended up with a nice forced pin of his queen. He resigned. I think the way I was playing he probably gave up too early. If someone wants to give it a look, some tips would be welcome. https://www.chess.com/game/live/34514455081

3...Bg4? loses the pawn for good. You had to recapture 3...Nxd5.
5 d3? is passive as it shuts in Bf1. 4 Bb5+ or 5 Bb5+ were strong: develop the bishop and keep the pawn.
5...e6? loses the pawn, you could recapture 5...Nxd5
6 g4 first and then 7 dxe6 was strong.
7 Qe2? moves the queen prematurely, where it can be chased with ...Nc6 and ...Nd4. It blocks Bf1 and Ng1. Better 7 d4 to seize the center and open the diagonal of Bf1 admitting 5 d3 was wrong.
7...Qe7? moves the queen prematurely. Better develop the knight 7...Nc6 with threat 8...Nd4 attacking Qe2
8 Bg5? will lose the bishop's pair. Better 8 Qf2 to prepare 9 Nge2, admitting 7 Qe2 was wrong.
8...h6? helps white. Again 8...Nc6 threatening 9...Nd4.
9 Bxf6? loses the bishop's pair. Better conserve it 9 Be3.
10...Nd7? is passive. Again 10...Nc6 threatening 11...Nd4
11 Nd5? moves a developed piece a 2nd time while other pieces are still on their starting squares. Better 11 g3 preparing to develop 12 Bg2.
12...Bc5? 13 d4 leads nowhere. Better 12...O-O-O bring the king to safety and activate the rooks

@juniorjuker that is how i feel, I got lucky, and he resigned too early.

@juniorjuker no rating judgement here. Just a game, and if you enjoy it, go for it win or lose. Although, I do have some rating envy. I would love to be 1800 one day.

@juniorjurker Thank you. I really only got serious about the game in October. I have played at it for years.
