Yay this is still running! You analysed two of my games last year and I found it very insightful. I'm hoping you can cover this one too:

I submitted this game to show that even when I am optimistic, I still fail. This was a King's Indian Defense in which I won a pawn in the middlegame and felt I had a positional advantage to go along with my material advantage. Had my opponent asked for a draw, I would have turned him down, even though I rarely reject draw offers. But then I choked worse than the 49ers in the Super Bowl and lost a game almost any other player would have won easily. My kingside attack failed and White's queenside attack succeeded (helped by my inept defending). This was a Daily Chess game (3 days to make a move) played in June. Since my analysis and annotations are so bad, I went over the
game on a chessboard in the hope that this will help. I did the computer analysis after the game, but other than one move (mentioned in the analysis), I don't remember what it said.
That's not the end of this story. After stewing over the loss for a few days, I challenged the guy to a rematch because I was certain I could beat him. I had a decent position, but threw it away with a blunder. I will not ask GM Kraai to review the game in a subsequent stream, but if anyone is curious, it can be seen here.
Hi
This is my first time posting, so let me introduce myself.
My name is Simon, I am a 28 year old P.hD student from Denmark. I started playing chess online in 2013, and otb in 2018. I have two kids, so my chess time is relatively limited these days.
The following game is my most recent league game. I'm white (1800 ELO) vs Black (2000 ELO)
I hope this show can give me the motivation to analyse my own game carefully, and perhaps a few good tips on the analysis.

Hello Jesse ! I'm a chess dojo member and patreon supporter. Here's a game I played in the Chessdojo ladder. I guess you'll have a few things to say about the endgame (at least !). Thank you for your time.

Thanks again for doing this, Jesse. Very illuminating. This is a 90/30 game on LiChess, I am playing the white pieces. The opening was bumbled a bit, then my usual middle game drift, followed by a gift. But the main thing I take from this is that I still have miles to go when it comes to the middle game.
The London game from last night, to spice up the monthly show!
A recent OTB game against a 1990 FIDE rated opponent.
Hi Jesse!
This is a game I played with one of ChessDojo community member.

PS. Thank you for giving me such a attention last time and investigating translation of my Polish name 
. It is actually not "Micheal". I was always in opinion that is has no real counterpart in English language, but I googled it lately and found out that it should be close to "Matthias" (which I never consider an English name. It sounds rather German to me). I even stumbled on this youtube video how to pronounce it
