Where did it go right?
Sort:
Your ratings really weren't that far apart. Once he hung that piece it was pretty much over. Although even if he did not blunder you probably would have been able to win his weak f-pawn for an advantage in the endgame

S'pose not - although they were further apart before the game.
"When I lose, it's normally because I've blundered a piece away or missed an obvious threat, so no analysis needed."
And this time your opponent did that. In addition he allowed you two mobile central pawns, so after he drops the piece, converting the victory was straighforward. It sure helps when you don't give up material doesn't it.

Sage advice from our greatest asset...
When I lose, it's normally because I've blundered a piece away or missed an obvious threat, so no analysis needed. Instead, I'd like some advice on this. My opponent, playing white, was rated higher than me - and yet I didn't (as far as I can see) give him a sniff. If only I could reproduce this form every time, I'd be getting somewhere. So, fellow chess.commers, what did I do well?
