Quick '1.d4' Game
Sort:
Here's a nice little blitz game I played here at Chess.com. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and enjoy!
Yes. Looking at it now, 12.0-0 would have left him better, probably. Thank you!

I think his 3rd move was fine. Anything else allows me to move us into a pretty open game, which would just highlight the wasted move, 2.a3.
I liked the fact that you sacrificed your rook to make way for the coming mate. It is something that I would generally not consider, since the rook is weighted so heavily in points . . . It just goes to show you how a person can become too preoccupied with material instead of the PURPOSE--CHECKMATE!! Nice.
nice mate
he wasted his second move
I completely agree, Panda.
Brilliantly well played
good game
although you asked us to tell you about better moves so here we go
on move 6... ne4 forces a bishop for a knght trade or even more
on move 7 ...ne4 would still have given you the better game
on move 9 you would might do better to play ...Bxf3 as long as you wasted a tempo but not big deal it seems equal in both positions
16..bc2 was a big mistake on your side as your opponet could have taken advantage after rc1 indeed 16...Bxg2 would have been ok for you
good game if someone thinks that this was a blitz he would have said that you played that like a master
Thank you for the feedback, cwc! I had completely missed 17.Rc1. 16...Bxg2 is certainly an improvement. Thank you very much. And thank you for the kind words at the end. I usually play blitz fairly well. It's my slow games that I have trouble with. I've had some wins against our local masters playing 5 0, but at slower controls, I've only been able to muster a few draws and a slew of losses.
