I've just wanted to know if it was any good and had some real soundness in it.
And of course I'm ready to wait for the dust to settle to hear your voices.

Ah ok! I thought a combination was something like long tactics... But then I'll tell you what i thought the combination was.
Originally posted by Anakin Skywalker Eeh, I do not see a combination. Your opponent played badly and you won his rook but I see no combo at all.
That's right. But i had to see I could win his rook and how to win it. And at my level that can cust a little bit.
I think you're forgetting that when we know a little bit more, your case, it's hard to value what less skilled players see.
I see that a lot when less experienced players post their games. Most of the comments are straight bashing and don't do anything to build up the other guy's chess. This wasn't the case now but it does happens a lot.
Now that the game is over i thought the combination was my moves up to ten to twelve.
First it looked like i've hanged my pawn, then i checked him with my knight for him to ake him with his bishop. Up untill now it looked like i was down two minor pieces; but then i took his knight and his rook was to be taken next. Gaining a rook and a knight for two knights.
That's what i thought my combination was.

Yes I believe that is categorized as a combination... from the move 10...dxc4 white has a choice to take the knight or to take the pawn, both result in a loss in material.

I have to agree with you, about this. The chess forum seems to be a school yard of petty bickering. When an "outsider" dares to venture into it, they rarely get constructive, and level appropriate based critique. What some people fail to see is that for most people on the site chess is a relaxing pastime, and lower rated players are happy with the small victories. The rare games where the pieces seem to tell you where to move them to make them happy. Nice game.
Game 3127579 Is a game I am very proud of, but when I played through it later. I can see there are blunders that made most of it possible. And it could have gone drastically different, but I feel that I found a plan and made it happen the way I wanted. To me it is a beautiful game.
Well played! Although I think white resigned a little too early though. Your opponent could have played 31. Bc4 threatening Bxe6 mate. 31. ..Bd5 will block this, but it is always worth a try. 🙂
