Game 3297560
I think i play the opening pretty much perfectly, construct a very nice attacking position up to about move 14. I then get impatient and push the pawn too soon and lose a rook but co-ordinate my pieces nicely, take a walk with my knight and finish with offering a rook sacrifice.
Moves 15 & 16 are very poor but its a nice attack and a good win against someone who was about 250 points ahead, im chuffed.
Originally posted by mathmo4. d4 is much stronger, the normal continuation is 4...Bd7 5. Nc3 Nf6 6. Bxc6 Bxc6 7. Qd3 exd4 8. Nxd4 Bd7 9. Bg5 Be7 10. 0-0-0! with a very good position for white. Black must defend very carefully.

If you don't look at move 15 and 16, your game is very nice.
Thanks for the advice about the immediate d4 push, i dont know my ruy lopez theory well so i wanted to support the d4 pawn. I didnt really think it was perfect, I was just very pleased to come out with the strong pawn centre strong without my opponent making any glaring blunders and i put 'perfect' hoping for feedback 🙂.
Love your sacrifices in the game you posted on the previous page though.

One of my earlier games on this side granting a double
rook sac and a messed up pawn structure.
I pull the win after some fancy rook vs knight dueling
This isn't mine but i think it deserves more publicity

This was a recent win for me against a stronger opponent. A pawn sacrifice gave me a rolling center, a later knight sacrifice probably should have been accepted, leading to at least material equality.
