Here's a fun game... take the following game, and try and find all of the major errors for both sides in it...

Game 2233155

Trust me, there are plenty. 🙂

Hmmm, Lets have a look.

14. Bh4

what about Bxh6 Bxh6 g5?!

17. a3

clearly a blunder, perhaps Kb1 or fxg6?


21...Nb4??

I can't even see the logic in that!

axb4 and if Qxe4 Be1 Ng3!? Bxc3 Qxc3 Qe1! - advantage white.

Another Idea against Nb4 would be:

fxg6 fxg6 (Nxd3?? gxf7+ Kxf7 Qxh5+) and then play the sequence above.

26. Qe4?!

hmmm, The following sequence took me a long time to spot, Can anyone find an improvement for black here?

Bxg6+ Nxg6* [Kxh6? Bg5+ Kxg6? Bxf4+...1-0] e6 Bc8 Rxg6 Kxg6 Bf2! (not Qg4 or e4+!!)

*[Kh8? Qf3 Nxg6 Rxg6 Bxe5 [Nxe5? Bf6+] h7!! Qd8? (not sure if Qd8 is the best defence here) Rdg1 Rf8? Qh5! (with the idea of Rg8+ hx98=Q double check!)]

34. c4??

I think its lost from here on....

25. Rxg6 would have been interesting.
