So how come you were a pawn down after 12 moves with no compensation? 😕

Well when I look at the board after 13 0-0 I see black with an isolated e-pawn and I know that he will have a tough time defending it since I can attack it faster then he can defend it. What do you think I could have done better?

Ok, how about this one. Like the knight sac or is it flawed?

I was anxious to simplify the position against someone rated 200 points higher then me (at the time of the match)...

Its definitly something I need to study... thanks for the advice.

Everyone makes mistakes, and I know there are some in this game. I'm not trying to insult you, just make you aware so that you keep striving to improve 😉.

No, it was a flawless way of making the win more difficult.

24. Rxd8 looks quite strong.

I'm quite pleased with the whole game - but my favourite? the sac, move 16 Rxf3...

Game 2318708

Edit: incompetence.

Thanks! In the end of that first one, I lose the exchange at first but can win the knight by pinning it to the queen, therefore, winning the exchange by force. After that, black can't save his king side pawn and I can eventually promote. My favourite part about that game is how although I was down a pawn I managed to gain a strategic edge and turn it into a material advantage and a simpler end game spelling victory.
