This line does not lose you a rook. It wins you a minor piece in the end. You have not taken into consideration that you just won their rook. So the entire sequence trades off the rook on h1 for the rook on f8, and you get the bishop for the pawn. You are up a minor piece and two pawns in the game if you defend correctly. That is the equivalent of a full rook. Also you can eventually get you knight out safely so they don't gain back some of the material.
Hope this helps.
That was my opponent. I was black.
You was completely crushing White by move 8.
You didn’t even need Rook on h1.
All you needed to do was trade of Queens.
Actually, you could of won several different ways.
- Queen Trade
- Dominating center with like d5 pawn push.
On move 8, you had tons of moves.
- Qf6
- Nxf2
- Bxf2
- d5
- Even the move Nf6 to hit white Queen away was fine.
———————————
Move 10…g6 was real blunder.
Move 10…h6 - you would of been fine
———————————
You had a lot of moves leading up to move 10 which could of helped you defend better to win.
You also still had saving move on move 10, but position was little more sharp at that point.
‘Just remember to be calm and breathe!
Than look at squares your opponent is attacking and make sure you have adequate defenders.
That was my opponent. I was black.
Oh then you played very well, you only need to move pawn to h6 and you'd be fine, otherwise you had control of everything the whole game.
The most interesting part is that black played 10. - g6. So probably he realized that the f7 square is threatened, but not h7.
Can someone give me advice on how to avoid this check mate situation that loses me a rook if I defend agents it? The analysis broad basically wants me to sack my rook for the Bishop. How can I avoid this situation all together? These hyper aggressive attacks by other noob players like me is annoying. Every time I find a way to stop it, I encounter something new I feel like I can't stop. ( I WAS BLACK IN THIS GAME)
