Analyze Please - Move 26 Bxa3

Sort:
jr87
I recently played against a much stronger opponent that started with 1d4. I ended up winning the game, but after using the engine to analyze the match...

The computer said I made three blunders which I don't necessarily agree with... Or perhaps understand. What is your opinion regarding move 26? What is your advice to give a better performance?

I don't understand either. Why not Bd4?

You're welcome, and press the colourful button on the top left of the comment box. It's quite simple. Or type 'help' in the search bar at the top right of your webpage and seek what you need.

I'm not that good, OP. I'm just a 15 hundred. Consult a better player for a better analysis.

And don't call me sir. I'm 15  years old. Smile

You should've thought of that before you made your username "william." You just want to put sir before that, I can't help it. Sir.
