Also, just for sake of giving myself delusions of having a decent rating just to later on figure out Im a patzer and fall in depression, what level do you think White played at?
The Giri Gods sent me a message.

Was my middlegame technique good? Did I sucessfully squeezed him as I wanted without giving him counterplay or did he had some chances to complicate stuff (doesnt matter if it is a wild sac, he is losing anyways, so better sac and lose quickly than not sac and lose slowly...)?

After 41. Qd5 it's just a technical win, even before that, and I don't see anything wrong with 58. g5.
What's the problem?

It's hard for me to critique other players' games; easier to understand my own mistakes.

A lot of people said in the post mortem I could have won earlier. 58.g5 or 58.Rd6 are kind of the same tho, I think I will need to put my rook on the 4th rank anyways.

If you were given the position after 14.cxd6 how would you play as Black to try and win (or draw...)?
This game was relatively easy, but I dont know, Botvinnik said I should share my games and Im trying to learn something new even for the ones where I dont think I made any clear mistakes (probably some innacuracies)

Im also curious to see rating estimates, I have never played OTB with someone rated.
I think Im gonna have to jump the freaking wall to get a USCF rating or something.

Qa5 was a very bad move in my opinion, I do not see what it accomplishes whatsoever besides supporting b5 and running aimlessly to the kingside, but I'm pretty sure a3 followed by b4 refutes it completely, you get extra space while he doesn't get much at all. You went nb3, which gets in the way of my b4 idea and loses a tiny bit of space I guess, but your c5 idea looks strong. Another thing I would like to share my opinion on is 19. E5. While this does give your knight a potential outpost on d6 and limits his bishop, this also gives his somewhat lacking knight a square on f5, while also letting his rook get into play by kicking your bishop out with nd7. I also did not like how after 23. Qf3, you got your bishop back to the square where it was controlling d8. While this is not a very bad idea, his knight is limiting the rooks anyway, even if it is going to end up on e6 but then you could go bb6 anyway once he goes nf8 but e6 can be vulnerable to f5 anyway so basically there was not reall a need to go nb6 but your position is still a lot better. 33. Rd7 he could just take your knight, no? Or did you mess up the scoresheet? 41. Qd5 you are probably still won due to your space advantage, but I thought re1, f5 would make it faster. And in the endgame you played ok, but there were many faster methods of beating him. But besides those little things I mentioned, I think you played pretty well, you are pretty under-rated

I dont want to play chess anymore after hanging that knight, too many emotions at once after seeing I hung that knight and could have messed up the whole game for not paying attention.

I considered a3-b4 but I didnt like it because I let him exchange on d4.
I think e5 was good, I of course saw I weakened f5 but I was just planning to play Nd4 and keep exchanging stuff.
I dont see where else can I put my bishop, are you suggesting me to play Ba5?
I liked Nb6, exchanges pieces and gives me control over the darksquares.
Thanks for your thoughts, and I did hung my knight, what a turn down lol.
I cant think anymore lol, Im just wondering what the heck would I have done if he had played Qxc5+ during the game. Probably gonna have nightmares about it today or something.

Now everything makes sense. It is not that I suck, it is a message sent from the chess Olympo. Giri ran into mate in 3 without even noticing it until they told him in the press conference, I hung a knight on c5 and never noticed it until someone told me in the forums.
All of this happened on Saturday 21.
This is not a coincidence, I was born to be a chess god. Now my life makes sense.
The hasthag gets even stronger now.
#VirginTilGM.
I was asking opinions on how good/bad I played the endgame, turns out I hung a knight... But it was not coincidence. Feel free to ignore the hanging knight on c5 and comment on any other mistake you feel I made.
EDIT, I NEVER REALIZED MY KNIGHT ON C5 WAS HANGING, I GUESS I HAVE TO BE THANKFUL TO DESTINY FOR GIVING ME THE WIN AND NOT CRUSHING MY DREAMS AND CONFIDENCE LOL.
