    Followed the game along with Stockfish and I'm super impressed by your opponent. Apart from 20.Bxf7 and 28.e5 (giving Black an option of a draw), they played almost the perfect engine moves until the endgame. Great work/prep for a 2150 rated player.

    At 3:00 : why does Bishop back to e2 not work? It defends the pawn, gets out of trouble and should the rook take, the king takes back and while the knight can fork the queen and the rook, the queen can just take the black queen. If Rd8 Qe3, if Nc4 Qf4. Am i missing something?

    • @spirit2264
      @spirit2264 8 місяців тому

      Yeah, after bishop back the rook will take with check , after the king takes the rook the queen will take the f3 pawn with check and after king back to e1 the horse is coming with check, only square of the king is d2 and then the rook on the 8th rank is coming to finish. Hope you understoond

    sad to see white blunder here, after playing such a strong game. the move is Rd3, and the B escapes. (*)
    but the problem started earlier, with Rd7+ at 6:45, when white should have focused on getting the other rook out.
    BUT ...
    when playing minor pieces vs. Q, with king safety not good, you MUST set up a fortress, with all pieces near the king, and protecting everything, and the Q is helpless. then slowly advance. so, at 5:12, the proper move is Be2.
    (*) good to see that stockfish agrees with me.
