Look at my lonely king rook and knight, sitting there, spectators to the game of chess that just concluded. Lesson right there - tough to win when you basically are down 2 pieces.
Interesting game. I was able to grab a pawn early on but the cost was high as almighty's pawns rapidly gained space on the king side. Based on comments during the game, I think both of us found the position very complex and difficult to figure out. At move 14 I made the first big mistake with Bxh4. I wanted to play fxe4 but didn't like the look of the resulting positions, thinking there might be too much pressure on h2. Thought I'd have to play h3 and he'd grab the pawn back and I would just be in a very cramped position. Neither of us saw the great follow-up in Ne2 which would have saved the pawn. The position then got more and more cramped but I got one more chance to possibly untangle at move 19, after my opponent played Rd8. I was looking at the right move (Nf3) but for some reason I still cannot understand, didn't play it. That was the final straw.
Good game
@thealmightygebaby, I enjoyed both of our contests and the unique positions we reached, and wish you luck in the final.
