Worst Move. Choose.

Complete advantage over blacks 3-1 end up losing. What do you think was the worst move, the 39th move or the 42nd move with the pawn to ultimately get the queen. Begginner game, however, look at the protection the king had. A complete ark kind of difficult to checkmate with the given time?

And indeed, I am spanking brand new at chess. Worth a look. Interesting lost.

What would you have done differently?

18... exf4 19.Qxh5 and you're up a knight

22. g4 locks your queen in

55. Kxh3??? You are still crushing your opponent at this point and then you let black have a free queen! 55. Qxh3+ and then 56. Kxf2 maintains your material dominance.

I kind of see the 22. g4 error as thinking it twice i would had played g2-g3. Another possibility I just couldn't see easily instead was 22. b2-e-5 at the moment.

The end was funny, think the move that could had define the last minute was    48. d1-h5 49. Qxg6.  Bummer for 54. Kxh3

I believe black getting into the ark built him considerable amount of time to take the advantage in the winning with less than 50 seconds. Asking myself what could had been good moves, once king been in 34.KF5...

Interesting.

Yep, 55 was a desperate move...had around 40 seconds in that time. Qxh3 move was the beauty check indeed. Just notice h3 with you Loomis, thx.

EMO...pawns. Good begginers game, guess i loved the ending even if i lost.

27 queen h7 wins the queen- discovered check and pin with rook

58: u have to go queen for queen here and play for the draw. stupid.

hanging the queen was a bad idea

jimmysaur

49 Qh5+ wins the knight and you shouldnt have a problem winning from there..

It's a beauty when you get to study it deeply. Many wrong moves as beginner. Move 29 of white looked even more promising. Thanks for pointing it.

Touche, paul211 (my opinion too).  And by the way, ep, White's position would still be hopeless.


Tony,

I agree with such ending. But next time I believe I should move slower and let time run a bit slower when I was 3 pieces upfront(rook, bishop, queen) .If I waited for time to pass instead of attack compulsively in sub-sequent moves it would had been an easy win thanks to time. Next time should be a good one.

And guys...no worries about emotional comments on me. Deliberately, he missed his donuts.
