you should be blamed for have committed that horrible crime. 25 years in prison for that ! just like a murder, until move 21 you had a good advantage.
Do you know how to attack in chess, even with a pawn down here, black is playing with just his queens, you can play with three pieces. you should not let him liberate his others pieces. Rd4 was just a losing movel, an error, you may manage to get a draw, but you should try to win this.
a raating of 2100 does mean a single things.
You should be optimist and believe you can win everygames, just play your best and doi not except to be defeat, the only one who can cause your lost is yourself, your opponent have nothing to do with your defeat, the only responsible is you...
Originally posted by USArmyParatrooperBlack's 2...d5 is a bit dubious...you should've responded 3.cxd5 Nxd5 4.Nf3 and then 5.e4
Not a disappointing loss for me. It's like getting beat up by Anderson Silva. It's kind of to be expected.

Originally posted by chesskid001You have to watch out for 4...Nf6 5.Nc3 e5!?, which can be rather annoying for White. Therefore, it is better to play 4.Nf3 and then follow-up with 5.e4 to take away this possiblity - you still get the big centre and a nice initiative 🙂
I think even better is 3.cxd5 Nxd5 4.e4 right away. White gets a strong center, and from my OTB games I've gotten good attacking chances.
