I played these two on chesscube.com. I'm such a bad tactician... Can you please tell what I should have chaged? After first I decided to change in the move 8. I saw something that seemed to me like a dangerous attack, but it wasn't. Or was but I don't see it now. Both were 30 mins for a game.

I didn't see the move. I simply didn't notice that the bishop will be protected and it scared me so much I stopped thinking rationally.
Originally posted by National Master Dale In game 2 sacrificing on c3 is highly speculative. Again I didn't see the simple bishop move. I was so happy when I saw myself attacking f2 and c3 at the same time. It's just too much for me too take so many things into account... This maybe seems funny to you, but I simply can't do it.
Originally posted by National Master Dale 3...d5 may be stronger than 3...g6 I am thinking of it and I just don't see. For me it looks like it would transpose back to what I played.
