@ketchuplover saidI had entered the following conditional moves ...31.Rxc6 Rf1+ 32.Kh2 Be5+
Game 13648226
33.g3 hxg3+ 34.Kg2 R(8)f2+ 35.Rxf2 Rxf2+ 36.Qxf2 gxf2 37.Kxf2 Kd2 which I somehow thought was winning(looked winning at the time ) ...long story short only 31...Rxc6 was played (accepted by system).
Then instead of 31...Rf1+ I absentmindedly played Be5 losing after 32.Rxf2

@ketchuplover saidIf I may suggest: Rather than grabbing that pawn on e4, you might try: 6.... g6 followed by Bg7, that produces an indirect defender of your e pawn, develops a piece, and with a kingside castle, your king would have been safer than on a queenside with such a fractured pawn structure. Also - I'd be very cautious about conditional moves. I never do them. It gives an opponent a peek at one's thought process. - JMHO 🙂

@ketchuplover saidHi you said that you entered a long string of conditional moves, but it accepted only the first one? I've never offered more than one move before. Wasn't real sure it was possible to offer more than one at a time. Anyway, it looks to me like none of your conditional moves was accepted by the website. Otherwise, after Rxc6, Rf1+ would have been automatically played...not allowing your Be5..

@eladar saidI would've played the same vs. any ratings. I finished 2nd place 🙂
Did you play more carelessly because of your opponent's low rating?
