Resign, resign, resign
I HATE when people don’t RESIGN and end up flagging me despite me having a huge material advantage. What do I need to change about my middle game though process to punish flagging? Anyone? crickets???

Unfortunately there are only two options. Play faster or choose a longer time control (possibly one with an increment). I typically play 15/10 just so I generally don’t have to worry about time pressure. I make enough mistakes already when I’m not experiencing serious time pressure.
There was only one sequence of two moves where you…

I agree. 15|10 is the way to go.

How do I think faster is a great way to rephrase the question. To me play longer time control is just a bandaid solution.

So for the Classical Variation you click directly on the Module 2: Classical Variation link (currently takes you to https://chessvibes.net/courses/the-kings-indian-defense/lessons/module-2-classical-variation-5-nf3-6-be2/). Just clicking on the arrow next to the…

Analysis question
I’ll try again…. Hi everyone, I’m going through the review of this game and am struggling with the analysis of the mid-game….. my move 17 being marked as highly suspect which I understand. Why is my move 19 not being marked up as a blunder? Any assistance would be appreciated.

It looks like by black going Qg6 you set yourself up for a nice pin/fork with Bd3. They are threatening two moves: 1) Ke7 check with a discovered attack with the bishop on your queen and 2) threatening to take your knight on c2 because it’s trapped. You negate all of this by not stepping into that pin/fork by going Qf6.
In general this is where I…

That linked video has some very good ideas on reviewing games. Thanks for the link.
Getting back to Tom’s original question, my guess is that since the engine’s evaluation rating goes from +4.4 after your move 17, to +5.5 after your move 18, then up to +6.25 after your move 19. So the engine had you in a solidly losing position and the…

Tough spot no doubt. I’ve found really focusing on calculation and really taking my time has lead to improving my chess the most. At the end of the day what the engine is doing is just calculation, but at a very deep level. So we as humans might as well get as good as possible at it.

This is how you blunder with panache

Ha! I thought of that same exact series of moves thinking it would win the pawn, at move 13. Then you do the same thing a few moves later.. both of us gave up M1 by not calculating far enough!

Just lost a game to a grade 663, who I had captured his Queen with a fork. Very expensive loss….. dropped my grade by about 50. *ouch* Being a queen down, I wasn’t really expecting him to still be looking for a mate – expensive lesson to learn!

Keep after it friend! Try not to focus on the rating number! Im a slow learner but still getting better 👍🏼

Happens to the best of us. I try not to focus on ELO so much as I do learning. If I learned something from the game it’s a win in my book. If I learned something from a loss then it’s really going to stick!

Thought I was in trouble for a bit but pulled another rabbit out of my hat. I wasn’t even thinking about the mating attack. Good game to my opponent!

That was a great mating attack! So many long range pieces lined up on their king, you’ll be able to find something from it. Great use of the pins!
