Not a bad showing but needed to play a bit more aggressive when Black stayed away from e5
Lichess gives 90 percent accuracy and Stockfish 17 at 14 depth/moves calls it at 93 percent accuracy but I'm skeptical of the numbers.
Black plays the Chigorin but then refrains from pushing e5, that's a recipe for disaster, the C6 knight is just badly placed blocking the c pawn.
I'm not particularly fond of the engine annotations, most of the time they don't make sense like that Bf5!!, it's an area to improve I think, the chess.com review is even worse.
Agreed. One thing that always frustrated me with a lot of the annotations, especially on lichess, is when it labels a secondary line as an inaccuracy. For example, I play a lot of Colle/Zuckertort systems and most of the time I play c3 and because I don't play c4 instead, it labels subsequent moves as inaccurate because it sees c4 as the preferred move. It almost seems like it cannot account for positional play or a particular playing style (like the Benko game saying Black was on at move 10 despite the pawns on d5 and e6 reducing the position to a passive one). But yes, I'm not a fan of the Chigorin either because if White can arrange his opening well, Black risks isolated doubled c pawns.

The king's indian is good for pretty mates. Not so much in the g3 variation, but this violent example has an unusual one. (See also if you can spot my one blunder that my opponent failed to take advantage of).

@Elroch I think I would have been a wary as Black had I seen 23. Kf2 as well. Nice playing to destroy the castled position though.
