I doN,t think it is a wonderfull one.
but here I was able to won agaisnt an opponent much, higher rated, who already destroyed my bird in 10 moves or so, in the first of a tourney, but I survive by winning the other.
White resign, because he can't save the knight...
Any comment on this game.

Originally posted by SwissGambitThanks, despite the result, there was something good.
What?! Putting the Q on a5 was GENIUS, I tell you, GENIUS.
But I have to admit that I lost concentration, as I won allready the other one ( the Bird-game) and secured the next round.
Have a look at the other one, which is instructive.

Originally posted by jankrbI think White would have been better off with 6. Bb5 instead of 6. fe, I think the game was equal until 9. Be2. White should want more than equality, but he's definitely not busted. After 9. Be2 the game gets ugly quick, but those knight moves were anything BUT ugly. That was nice coordination and initiative.

Originally posted by jankrbIt's too early for White to resign IMO. After Kf1 Ng3+ he drops the Exchange, but there's still a lot of chess to be played. He does retain the Bishop pair and has an open b-file to work with.

Originally posted by no1marauderAfter reading your post, I think the same thing. I have recently drawn two games on the site that I should have lost, and I think it may be a mistake to assume quality endgame technique for anyone whose 4-digit rating doesn't begin with a "2".

I wouldn`t resign that Bird game either.
The original game of post id like to comment on i looked at it a couple times but unfortunately its to difficult for me to think of anything to say
about it.
I think it was a good game though.
Seems like both players are tough to me.
Perhaps White could come up with something better than 14.f4 in that first game maybe .
