How to win a won attack?

Hallo!

I lost today in a won position. I had a kingside attack. I feeled good in the position but had no good idea (had a problem that I was a pawn down and the free pawn lock dangerous) because there is no checkmate or material win in the position. My opponent found some moves that I missed and take the only chance that he had in the game to win the game and I lost. How do I get better to win positions that are easy won by engine or grandmasters?

I had this problem often in games and other players are playing that easy out of the hand. How do I fix this or get better.

By learning of games like this! You are in the process of learning right now.

Maybe also find a book (Keres & Kotov's could be a choice) and/or YouTube video (GMTalks could be a choice).

You always have to look for cca. You missed a knight move that attacks a pawn and if the pawn is captured it opens up the h file and you’re completely winning and if they trade then you can do Rh5+ in some positions.

Go here in this blog called Chess Tips, Annotated Games, And Openings and check what you may be looking for and I’ll be updating this when I get the chance to. It may say unfinished, but that’s just a technical issue. Read this only for those people who know I am on ios I managed to make this because in a club I found a blog link and I clicked and I found the option to make a blog.

Thank you for the tipps. What do you mean with cca. ?

It's probably an acronym for checks, captures, and attacks. It's pretty much the only advice anyone ever gives to players asking how to improve at chess. Before moving, make note of all the available checks, captures and attacks in the position. It's not very good advice for fast time controls.

Here's my advice: look for concrete lines in the position. If you're winning on the board with a material advantage, try to give up a little material to simplify into an easy to play position. You won't always make the right call on what to give up, but you will improve your speed and decision-making. And if you sense you're winning positionally, don't spend too long on the perfect continuation.

#6 yes, check, capture and attack.

The position is more even than you think. Black has the same number of pieces to defend as you have to attack. I would castle long and bring the Queenside rook to g1 before starting. That way you outnumber Black's defence.

Skak, Makan, Ancam

Oh! checks, captures, and attacks -> I know. That I always look in my games and tactic puzzles.

I had not really an idea what is going on after the black move Kh8. Think about Ng5 but then I see the move Bf5 from black and play the pawn move in my head. After that I stopped and was annoyed about the black bishop. That is why I played Bg4 to trade them. And yes, I was more concerned about the h3 free pawn because I didnot had a follow up plan for the attack.

Yes, that the rook came sooner in the game is a good advice. Had this than but sometimes it is hard to wait and not to push the pawn kingside attack if you are in mode.

@punchdrunkpatzer I will test that.
