A great loss for me . . .

I'm an average player at best.

And I just joined this site a few days ago.

I'm very excited to be here in an effort to improve my game.

I recently played this game against shedder set to the highest level that my ipod app has. I played my favorite opening as white, I'm not sure if it is a real opening, but I've had some success with it.

I would describe my weaknesses as a tendency to "get lost" in the middle game, and no real understanding of how to play an endgame featuring pawns and the intracacies that lie with them.

With that being said I think I played remarkably well early on and even through most of the middle game.

I posted the following earlier in the analysis forum, but wanted to post it here to in case I could get a few more comments and or suggestions to help me with my game . . .

3.bg5 and 4.bxf6 are favorites of mine as I don't fair very well against oposing knights.

10. At this point I really don't know what to do. I'm guessing that qd3 is iffy at best??

11.qb5 seems reasonable at this point?

15.nxd5 feels really good. Thoughts?

19.b4 is an effort to "gain space", is this the wrong way to think at this point?

21.At this point black has repositioned towrads the center. I've probably made a bunch of mistakes by now . . .

Thanks!

Ted
