Hi everybody!

This is a game I finished last nght and analyzed this morning. I analyzed my moves using the Crafty chess engine, but the comments about White's moves are mine. Any comments?

"5. ... Qa5+ finishing development..."

 

This move does not finish your development. The kingside pieces remain undeveloped.

 

"13. ... a5 I want to prevent him from advancing his a pawn."

 

You should be trying to keep him from opening files for his rooks. After bxa5 the rooks on the b-file would be murderous against your king.

 

"19. ... Nxa4 I am a pawn up"

 

Even though you have an extra pawn, I wouldn't feel too comfortable opening the a-file since your opponent's rook and your queen are on the a-file.

 

White's 20. 0-0-0 is just awful. He removes his attacking rook from the a-file and instead puts his king right in the line of fire.

 

"26. ... Nxc3 I win a bishop."

 

Why couldn't white have responded with Rxc3, reclaiming his piece?

"7...0-0-0  I probably should have waited with the castling"

 

For sure,  7...Bxf3 followed by Qxb2 wins outright.Cool

I'm not very good, but it seemed like your reasoning for moves made sense.

Thanks for the comments!

@Loomis:
Okay, that was a bad choice of words from me. Thanks for pointing out that advancing the pawn wasnt a good idea.  He could have taken advantadge of my queen on the a-file, but he blundered too. I completely missed 27. Rxc3   next time Id better pay attention.

@nicovalens: That is better than castling Laughing
