Round 4
Matthew (1914) - Randy (2037)
This game was in the last round and was for 1st place. I had 3/3 and my opponent had 2.5/3.
1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Bd3 e5 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. c3 g6 6. Bg5 Bg7 7. O-O O-O 8. h3 Qe8 9. Re1 h6 10. Bd2 Nh5 11. Qc1 Kh7 12. Na3 f5 13. exf5 gxf5 14. Nb5
14...Qf7 is a sensible move, defending the c7 pawn. Unfortunately, I went crazy here. I thought that I would get enough compensation for the rook.
14...Qg6? 15. Nxc7 e4 16. Nh4 Qf6 17. Nxa8 Qxh4 18. Be2 e3?! 19. Bxe3 f4 20. Bxh5 fxe3 21. Qxe3 Qxh5 22. Nc7 Rf7 23. Ne8
In this difficult position, I made a blunder.
23...Re7? 24. Qxe7 Nxe7 25. Rxe7 1-0
Lessons from the Game:
- I need to have better board vision.
- I need to stop going crazy.
