schaumburg vs rolling meadows board 1

Few missed opportunities, but overall pretty happy with my game. 

I think you played pretty well.  You missed a couple things but they were not major enough to lose your advantage.  Good job!

9 ... O-O-O  I think you should've played Bxf3 here, weaken his King position and double up his f-pawns

16. b3 Bxe3 - I think rather than playing Bxe3, I thought maybe Be5 was a stronger continuation, and play Nd5 in the future.

Nice game overall

Agree with both, especially about repairing his pawn structure with

16. ... Bxe3.   Be5 is super strong.  Nice game set up by a nice move with the queen.  

I say it all the time - you're not going to win the game in the opening, but you CAN lose the game pretty quickly.
