Hi,
I would like some feedback on a rated game I played otb, I played a player with an ECF of 128, I am ungraded but I am no where near that level, my rating here is 1428 but realistically I am more a 1350 player.
We played 42 moves in an hour and a half and my opponent had only two minutes to play moves 38-42 for the time extension so was under pressure, I played very quickly those moves too so as not to give him my time to think either, which turned out to be my downfall.
Move 42 for me was a huge blunder and cost me the game but apart from that I would like to hear from experienced players how I fared considering the rating difference and if I couldve made any better moves than I did, just bear in mind I am only 1350-1400 so dont expect too much 🙂

The only "mistake" by black that I could see that my opponent missed was instead of 15, Q-C7, he shouldve exchanged queens to force my king to take back or else lose the pawn on D4 if I took with the knight, this wouldve left me unable to castle and in a weaker position than I wouldve liked.
