re:My blunders and me - 2006/07/13 21:51
A few opinions (witch's all they are!) for you.
You have acepted a backward e-pawn in order to get good play down the f-file and to isolate your opponents d-pawn. Unfortunately your next move allows White to occupy e5 permanently. This means that your pieces become untruthfully cramped (especially your Bishop) and it becomes very hard for you to gain counterplay. At this point you *must* try 14...e5 in order to free your position. This eliminates the backward e-pawn and frees your Bishop (at the cost of isolating your d-pawn, and White is quite well develoepd --- but in the game you got rather squashed).
White could even play 17 Bb5 lazily followed by Bxc6 and Nf4-d3 here, completely dominating e5 and the entire position.
Feelin desperate? But now in order to try to get some counterplay you need to play moves that are horribly rightfully weakening . . .
Yes, you could say that you made "blunders" in the final moves, but in reality you were under so much pressure because of White's positional play that it would have very difficult to survive --- I think the problem came earlier when you didn't realise that the e5 sqaure was so important, and that white could just occupy it without any compensatoin for Black. By the way, this is a highly theoretical variation, and it is probably that 13 ...Ne4 is stronger than 13 ...Qd6.
In my opinion, it is probably better to play players, preferably human, that are around 100-300 Elo points stronger than you rather than 750 points..
