This was a very well played game for you! @01:25 I saw ...Na5, Nxa5 Qxa5, Bxe7 ...and I didn't know how to tell if I was better. I saw that even though ...Na5 threatens White's Knight, it draws my (Black's) Queen away from the defense of the ...e7- and ...d6-pawns so I might lose two pawns in that scenario. I chose ...Ne5 as you did in the game. This is part of the reason I am stuck at my level - I saw that ...Na5 attacks White's b3-Knight, but I couldn't decide (figure out) whether after a few moves it was a good enough threat to allow my Queen to be drawn away from the defense of the ...e7 and ...d6--pawns. @23:55 I can’t believe I missed …Ng6. This is one of my favorite ways to win - look for Knight forks that appear to give up a Rook or other piece. I think I was only looking at forward moves for the Knight. Thanks again!

[@journeytograndmaster]

yeah, I also misevaluated the variation after Na5 and Bxe7 :( Thank you!

Aint go lie you got absolutely destroyed in this game but your opponent couldn't find one move to win the game, this game was very fun and educational though. God Bless you

[@journeytograndmaster]

absolutely. Thank you!

[@UOUPv2]

1:55. I feel pretty proud here not going to lie. Not only did I find Na5 but I also knew that you were going to say that you actually played Ne5.

[@journeytograndmaster]

I remember a few months ago. I had a friend in France who played chess. She said she wasn't good but I felt skeptical, and I ended up beating her. She ended up becoming furious by my victory, and she ended up deciding to get her father (who is a National Master) to beat me. Several days later began the first game. I lost the first game quickly lost even more But I ended up successfully beating the National Master on the fifth game. Her father was impressed by how I was able to beat him. I have a peak rating of over 1800 now, and I've beaten him 10 times now. Still my greatest achievement that I accomplished.

[@journeytograndmaster]

Nice! Thanks for sharing your story :)

I lost in iur district meet but, i think the main problem is because i get nervous so much to the point that my mentality changes lol but i am certain that i can play and handle him

[@journeytograndmaster]

What is your name? :)

[@Anfield_the_place_to_be]

I recently played a 2000 in a local district team match in Norway (i am 1670 fide rapid), i crushed him out of the opening with a Vienna game,,,, until i realised i was totaly winning in the end game. Then i made one blunder after the other... So yes, you are totaly right its never to late to lose a match:) i won 4/5 though, and all players above 1850. But the only game i remeber is that one😢

[@journeytograndmaster]

absolutely! You can't imagine how many winning games I spoiled in my life :)

[@BashirAhmed-g7u]

[@journeytograndmaster]
