It wasn't his compensation. You were winning until you blundered right near the end. Sacrificing your queen wasn't necessary.
I guess I left out that it also kind of plays with your mind a little and sometimes in these situations you start playing a series of inaccuracies like when I moved my queen to c6? Giving his knight a good post with a tempo. Then after that I played very inaccurate and eventually lost. But what im saying is if anyone else get these problems right after winning a whole piece. And does anyone feel like its harder sometimes to win even when you win a whole piece. I mean its not like I lose everytime I win a piece but sometimes I do lose cause of these problems.
Yeah I didn't see those Rc7 Rd7 Moves. Wow what a shame. I thought it was over.
I guess I played ok after all.
If you want to use your 'piece up' advantage you must use all your pieces first! you did nothing with your rooks and were wandering aimlessly with your knight throughout the game..
46.rd2?? is losing (Qc3+ is a more direct fork but your opponent was slightly blind & chose a longer route)
46.rg8 holds the draw.
at move 27 you should be looking to play moves like Rd8-d5 challenging his active rook..
note:he plays c4 to stop this idea but this makes d4 more vulnerable and you can now think of the e5 break at some point or just break with b5..
moral: open files for your rooks to be active and show him that his army lacks by 1 warrior..
all that is keeping in mind that you overlooked yopur own defensive resource of Rd7 and Rc7.
Does anybody else feel like when you win a piece and your opponent plays on it is harder to win and for some reason they always end up getting some sort of compensation? if you look at my last game you will see what im talking about. Its like if my opponent started playing really really good or something. Anything I played he had some sort of solution and when I thought I had him he always had an answer for my move till the very end. Like one would think he would messup really bad at one point.
