Lesson in Chess:- Trying to hard to win!
Sort:
This is a game that i played years ago when i was playing regular O.T.B. tournament against i higher rated player in this game and had the advantage for alot of this game i felt, but i tried to hard to win after i missed the winning plan instead of going for the draw i could easily see. Because i had the better position so i thought and i ended up giving him back the initive. So the lesson is dont try to hard to win if the position isnt clearly won that you can see the victory or just like me u might lose instead....

Yes I agree.
You almost played a very good game, 7...a6 was not a good move, and you punished it very well.
Don't agree with your lesson really. If you draw lots of games, this will effect your rating in a poor way. Also learn more by trying to win. Of course it is easy to say things like this, but harder to do.
