I think 3...d5 was a very bad move, never saw it in Ruy. You could have played 4.Nxe5 or 11. d4 to exploit it more. After 25. Nxf6+ you still had to demonstrate some technique, you did that and 36. g4 was very good.
In MS Paint you can cut the exact image and re-paste it, also catch the corner of the white border with mouse and move to eliminate it.
4. Nxe Bd7 5. NxB should give you an edge from winning that "minor exchange" as Fisher called it, in an open position, plus it looks like the extra center pawn.
Your play was okay at first, but then you started back-pedalling later on. Like on move 8, you could have played d3 then, as you later saw that it was good and played it and traded dark-bishops anyhow (great job on finding that possibility).
11. d4, good spot by RollingPawns there.
17. Nc5-d4 ouch! You had b4, then c4 kicking the queen, plus your impregnable knight guards the backward pawn on d3. Your pieces would have had a lot of scope and then held a large position together.
You were thinking safety first with that queen trade, but that is often the very move that loses games! Instead of Qc4, play Nc3 kicking his queen and having tremendous scope with your pieces, plus attacking his a4-pawn. If he defends it with Qa4, you have Qc4+, then Rd1 preparing d4 push.
At a higher level that queen trade would have lost you the game.
24...Re8?? Instead, 24...Rb8! wins easy. If he wants to play Re8, he needs to play Kf7 first.
After that, his game is a valiant loss. 31...Kg6, keeping the kingside pawn would have been better. Also, 37...f4 is pointless, since he should be trading that pawn with fxg.
SB: If he defends it with Qa5, you have Qc4+, then Rd1 preparing d4 push.
I only want to say that with 4. Bxc6 you to quickly lift up the tension. It was not needed to lift the tension there. Let black sweat a little more about your intentions after Bb5
The more I look at this position, the more I like 17. Qc3 instead of my b4 thought. If he plays Nd4, you can counter with 18. Nd2, and now the knight on d2 is no longer a target on f3, plus is influencing all kinds of squares - even Nd2-c4 looks threatened.
Of course he immediately blunders with 17...a4, which you correctly capitalize on with 18. Qb4.
Thanks for the comments.
A chess game has many different moves thats what makes chess the great game it is.
All of the comments are good i shall try to use them in the future games.
On the one site i am in a tournament with other new joiners.
We are all given a 1200 start rating.
As you can work out some some of these other new joiners are much stronger than 1200.
Some of the players rating have rocketed from 1200 through 1500 to 1900.
I played one person who lost in 23 moves and played like a 900. The next game he played his true game and his rating has soared into the 1800's now.
When i ask him what went on he said i lose some games in order to lower my rating.Then he enters lower rated tournaments and watch his rating rise it's more fun that way!!!.
Chessx,
I don't know how prevalent it is anymore, but there used to be a lot of attention paid to sandbaggers. A sandbagger is someone who dumps rating points prior to a big tournament so that they can play in a lower-rated section and have a better chance for prize money.
So some people really are into their ratings, but some go to big, expensive tournaments and want to make money rather than lose it.
Of course it's unethical, and they used to try and keep tabs on who they thought were doing it, but I don't know anymore. Back then the focus seemed to be more on people coming over here from other, poorer countries and doing that.
Most players want to add rating points,so it is hard to believe players would want to drop points.
But it happens more than you think,cerntainly more than i thought.
I was talking to a chess friend of myn from another country, who just scraps into the 1900 and above rating section in tournaments.
His rating is 1907.
He drops 20-30 points from time to time so he can enter the lower tournament section.
He has won some money from doing this a few dollars,most times he is still out of pocket moneywise.
But he wins more games this way and has a better tournament.
But it's not right.
Perhaps i can say if i lose a game i have done this on purpose to get a lower rating!!!!!
Not that my opponet was better than me.!!!!!!
