The value of thinking a little longer.

Hey, guys. Recently, I played a game with the idea of thinking each move through as many have advised in this forum. I was surprised at how what popped immediately in my head was most of the times unsound. Please comment on my play, and where I could have played more precisely. Or perhaps some of my moves were bad moves!

opening has a lot of flexibility.    I would prefer 4.....d4 and strengthen your Center with .....e5 and ....Nc6

however as played, you took advantage of White's dawdling.    very well done !

Thx!!. But I was afraid that d4 was overextending, I mean the moment you push pawns, they cant move back. I'll keep what u say in mind, though!!

As enlightening as usual.

Regarding the stated theme of this forum, my results in turn-based chess are partly the result of not moving the first time I look at a position, but having a look at it on more than one day. Sometimes, you find an improvement. Stands to reason if you remove some of those errors, the results improve.
