Tactics at work?

This morning, I spent an hour working on tactics at chess.emrald.net

After an hour, I decided to try to play a game, to see if I actually learned anything, this is what I came up with.

Analysis appreciated 🙂

The rook sac was sound, right?

There is something wrong with black 7th's move. Is it Be7?

Edit: And further on there seems to be more typos... 😕

No problem. Just correct it and let us take a look at the game.

🙂, more typos??

I didn't look at the game, but if you're expecting an immediate reflection of your study to your game, you're way too impatient. it's not the way it works. you'll hopefully get 100 elos per one year of study until 1700s, then it's even slower.

after my most intense tactical study period ever(about 2 hours a day on average for about 3 months), my rating had dropped nearly 200 hundred points. I had an amazing losing streak, I really wondered how I could ever win again. Fortunately those days of agony have passed, now I'm doing OK, I mean by my (low) standards.

move 18 I think should be 18. ... Nc6 and 24. ... Rg8... at least I played the board that way and it made sense. But nice game once again.
