First really obvious one is 9...Nxe4. If 10.dxe4 then 10. ... Qxh4

29.Ng7 looks better than 29.Ne7+ and 29.Qc4 possibly stronger than either.

That one is good, and I didnt noticed it, so now I have three good moves I missed.

There is another one that is more ovious than that one.

Yes I noticed that my opponent missed this one.

About move 29, it was a forced mate combination I was doing, so the fork wasnt so interstig as a mate. but yes is a good move.

There is another one that is more ovious than that one. as I posted before

There are loads of improvements that could be made to this game.

How many do you want?

Shall I give your top 12 blunders in order of seriousness or will that make you feel too naff?

Well, as all my games as a learning chess player, there are several tactical, positional and strategic blunders that only with time and study I will be able to notice and take advantage of them.

Of course I will not fell bad if someone tells me my mistakes even if a hundred of them is pointed, I would apreciate it, and the more mistakes the more I learn, that is how I think.

In this game I was refering mainly to a move that even a rookye would be able to notice, it is a winning move since it gives me a great material advantage, and somehow I didnt noticed, untill when analysing the game I saw this move from my opponent that to me was meaningless, and actually he was correcting his mistake that I didnt noticed.

That of course in another one but I only bothered to go to move 11.

I've been working today whilst commenting on this. I will try and analyse it later tonight and give you my top 12 blunders for white (I won't give them for black)

It does make me think that I should start looking back through my games to see missed opportunities and where I went wrong in my games. Just don't have the bl00dy time...

9.Nh4 is a mistake because of Nxe4.

8.Qd2 is not that good either (although not a blunder).

The one I found to be easyest to spot was 17. Ne7, also taking his queen

My opponent in this game is a friend of mine, that is what inspired me to look at this game, but I have checked all my games since that, I guess you need something to inspire you.

I feell that I am improving by doing that because I see thinks that I could not.

Yes I noticed and dont understand now why I made that move(8. Qd2),that is what makes me feel I am improving.
