You done several mistakes in the opening. Move 2....g6 is not QG scheme, also defending c4 pawn is a bad thing, combined with g6 move, equals to suicede.
Move g6 is not good move because you develop your bishop on wrong place for QG accepted, and defending c4 pawn should result with worse development od pieces. However, you didn't get so bad position after opening, but instead making active moves you played passive ones.
yes, i would say, that one of the things you have to not fall for is trying to hold on to your pawn. remember you are up a pawn, your opponent will win yours back, but he wants you to try to hand on to it....i play the Albin Counter Gambit, with much success otb. 1.d4 d5 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 d4...this is great I feel and a lot of people do not have this played against them...so they are a little confused in the opening, you also have 2 almost permanent targets, ( his pawns) he has those as weeknesses. your d4 pawn is backed up by your queen....you can continue "DEVELPING PEICES" which you did not do when you were trying to defend your pawn prior game. |
Black bishop was a big gift and disaster!
19. ... Re8. You move your rook from an active position to a passive position. The rook was on an open file and defending the queen, it moved to a closed file doing nothing. Immediately following this weakening move, your opponent embarked on tactics that resulted in winning material.
Opening advantages and disadvantages are generally erased by these tactical mistakes later in the game.
I agree with this simply because if my opponent is trying to get me to do something, it just makes me want to do the opposite. It also makes sense not to try and defend that accepted pawn so deep in enemy territory that early in the game.
Ok , I am really hopeless when it comes to playing against QG . Here I thought I had an ok start but things turned nasty at the end . Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
