I loved my move Ng1 in the game....

I think it was a good game...... i positionally squeezed my opponent....

I did not analyze the game with the engine....

Let me know if you can identify any inaccuracies, mistakes or blunders by me in the game..... We can discuss the moves happy.png

Since you did not: I chose to not use an engine too. happy.png

I really like the Ng1 maneuver in the game. Also, I don't know what opening that is for Black either. It looks to me like the Hippo Defense but Black played ...Nf6 when ...Ne7 is more common. This way, 8...g5 isn't necessary to break the pin (not without its drawbacks, but ...f6 becomes an option). 

The closed nature of the endgame also reminded me of Petrosian. He would often lock up all the pawns and then sacrifice both Rooks for the enemy Knights. Then he would slowly outplay the opponent positionally, by dancing the Knights around lol. I especially start to get that vibe around 35. Nd1 and the route Nd1-Ne3-Ng4-Nxf6 although with Petrosian: it is usually not the Knights sacrificed. I also love how the g4 Knight prevented ...Rh6 defense. Good game.

This is @Ripley_Osbourne 's remarks on your game :

It's a Kings Indian Defense 

 And yes, the manoeuver Ng1 shows OP has already good enough understanding of Chess

After the wrong sacrifice, the game is won, yet, there is work to do 

 The other manoeuver to get the Knight on g4 is also good one

Now that you mention it, I could see this as a King's Indian Defense (where ...e6 is played). Following with KID motifs, then perhaps White castling Queenside sooner was a little better, but it wasn't something I noticed right away.

Yeah petrosian was amazing at positional stuff......

The knight manuevers were easy to find because blacks position was almost completely tied down...

 Thanks keto for the analysis
