Some of you may be wondering if I ever lose games. I only post games on here that I win. Well, to answer your question, I lose plenty of games! I just don't feel like posting them.
Here is a game that I lost but SHOULD have won. How many of you can say that about many of your games? If you're like me probably several.
I was playing a queens gambit declined as black in this game. Up to move 29 I was definitely playing like a master and the win is imminent. Black just has to many threats. Unfortunately I suffered a "head up ass" moment and instead of just protecting my rook and ALSO attacking the queen on move 30 with Nc6, I play the retard move of Rd7. Yeah this does move it out of capture but it gives white the chance to regroup with Rf1. If I play Nc6, the queen has to move and then I win outright with Nf2 check.
Anyway, the blunders don't stop there. See move 31 for black Nf4??????. This just LOSES. I completely missed the rook check on the back rank (didn't help that I move the rook to d7 earlier!) and then white just takes next move on e5. Finished.
Wow, I'm still beating myself up over this one. I think I was really proud of myself for finding the move 27 Rxa2!! (I am giving it two exclams!) But, unless you can "close the deal" it doesn't matter how many pretty moves you made earlier if you end up losing the game. No mercy and complete concentration to the VERY END!!! ARGGHHH!!
Here is the move list and the picture of the analysis by Fritz 10
