I think I should have played 19.BxN not QxN. I wanted to get my queen and bishop on the same diagonal but the bishop was then hemmed in.
Also, 29 s/b Kf1 not Kf2. I thought I needed the king on F2 to protect the bishop, but I didn't. So it was on a black square with Black having the black bishop.
Just started looking at this game hopefully I can come up with some commentary. I did a post on Jon v. Calvin.
Thanks for sharing. At first glance I see a lot of trades that go to an endgame and a draw. I've played many games like this myself. Now if I can just figure out how to do lots of trades go to an endgame and win!
I agree Joe, also, on 20.Bf6, I think you would have been better off pushing your pawn to f4, and after gxf4, Bxf4, you would have a strong attack on h6 and the kingside castle defense is pretty weak. Good game from both. I was thinking white had an endgame advantage, but I see the draw now. Both kings are tied to the center.
Are you coming to the library on Thursday, April 14th?
THE TWINSBURG CHESS CLUB Twinsburg, Ohio
A chess club for all ages and levels. We play casual games every Saturday. We meet at the Twinsburg Public Library Summer hours 10:00 - 2:00 Non-Summer Hours 2:00 - 6:00.
This site is dedicated to the exploration of chess. I plan to post games that have been played at our club and present them in a format that will allow all of us to review and analyze our games. Feel free to email the moves from your games and I will post them. Just include who played white and who played black and I will put it into a viewer.
This way we can all get a chance to revisit our games and provide each other feedback and learn from each other.

ReplyDeleteGood point on Kf2, it's something easy to overlook in an endgame situation.
