i was black. the reason he played the queens gambit was cause i
asked him to - and i played the albin counter-gambit cause i wanted
to try it out, see what it was like. does anyone have any comments,
any ideas where he went wrong? or what i could have done better?
He made several small blunders (things like not playing 6.Qxd8+,
which is much stronger than 6.Bxe3... and 29.Re2 would have been
stronger than 29.Re3) but his biggest error was playing 46.Kg5. This is
an outright blunder. Why does he give up the h pawn? He can force it
to queen. Something like 46.Rg4 wins for him easily. You could resign
at that point.
