Doh!
Was wanting two queens so very wrong?
My worst game here: Game 4303878
Not really liking my position I went in for some dubious tactics to simplify it a bit, not appreciating that despite material equality my position would be much worse afterward. Then I just slowly fell apart. First my position collapsed then, in frustration after missing a removal of the guard tactic I walked into a N fork. And that was after I'd already dismissed it from my candidate move list because of the N fork.
Even though my opponent really outplayed me that game I learned a lot from the psychological perspective of hunkering down and being patient in a complex, cramped position rather than going for tactics for tactics sake or rushing moves simply because there aren't that many to choose from with none of them very good.

Originally posted by EmiliosYes, I knew he could take it. The idea, though, was that after Nxc2 Bxc2 d4 wins the piece back by force and I thought his B not as active on c2 while his Nc3 I judged as worth more than my N.

It was a positional pseudo-sac but my position was actually worse afterward because he has the in-between Qg5 (which I saw) and after the trades his position is just better, his pieces are more active, and I don't have any real counter-play there. After the exchange of Qs, which was practically forced for me, his position was just winning. He owned both the center and the open b file (I could never contest it) while my pieces were inactive, poorly placed, and had very little mobility. Just a rotten position for black.
Originally posted by scandiumWell i'm sure you know better but in my opinion the knight exchange ruined your pawn structure and left your c pawn all alone in the cold.

Originally posted by EmiliosActually in looking at that game again I think it was probably f7-f5 that really ruined my pawn structure. Even though my Qside was a little loose before that, so was his. But after f5 exf there are just too many isolated pawns and holes everywhere. Probably after Nf5 instead I'd have been ok. Qf6+ maybe looks worse than it actually would have been. I was just wary that after Qf6+ he'd kick the N out with g4, then invade the 7th rank with his Rs. The problem then was that my h6 and g6 pawns, especially g6, were so weak as was f7, that I went into panic mode.

That's where the psychological lesson came in. Its so easy to panic when things take an unexpected turn (or misevaluated) and start banging out moves too quickly and with too little thought. That's also where the positional aspect of chess plays a role too since when you're sitting on the better position you can afford to relax, take your time, and hunt around for tactics. With the inferior position it can be easy to miss the trees for the forest.
