Game 3443957
I want to improve my skills. Feel free to show me my mistakes and give advice. Thanks. 🙂
on move 21, bh6 looks good.
Other than that, you seemed to do ok. You picked up a knight early on and then agressively swapped off. Your opponent didn't really try to hinder you.
I'm not sure about playing f5. I suppose you were thinking that your opponent would capture and then you be able to trade off a bunch more material. When that didn't happen, you'd given white a passed pawn and you had no need to.
Nice finish, though.
Phil.
I wonder about 5. ... exf3 ep. If you had left your pawn on e4 and supported it with d7-d5 or f7-f5 I think it could have been a real thorn in White's side and badly hindered any counter chances be may have got. As it was White didn't really put up much of a fight and did nothing to prevent you swapping off once you were a piece up.
29...Re4 pinning the Be3 & attacking e7 looks a bit stronger than Be4+ as you're cutting counterplay
30.Bd2 (or f2) would be the only feasable reply, then you can take on e7 which frees you up considerably.
Apart from that you played fine I think - going up & then exchanging down, creating structural problems on some of the exchanges such as 14...Nxd3.
You had an easily won game anyway & finished smartly 🙂
