22 Qxh8 gives you a much easier win

Why don't you post one of your own games instead of Myself's?  Tongue out

I am not sure 22.Qxh8 is that good, because it only exchanges a rook and a queen. White is up a pawn, but I'm not sure its enough to win.

37.c4 is inacurate. 37.a4 wins much faster, as the black king can't stop the a pawn from queening.

39.Kg3 loses a tempo, as Kf4 was played 2 moves later. Better was 39.Kf4. The game is won anyway so it doesnt really matter.

Nice win.

Thanks you, Vonzi, for that... makes a new guy feel better, it does. The point of 37.c4 was to lure the king away from pressuring my king and one pawn... The person I was playing had drawn / beaten me a few times before this particular game, so I wanted to rub it in as much as I possibly could.

Blacks 3rd move is not so good, because he blocks his freedom to develop. better is 3...Bc5 or even d6 would be an improvement, i say this so u know it too.

8.Bxf6 is ok but i like developing sooner so Nc3 would have been my choice most likely.

13.exd6 was ok but i like 13.Qe4  If black plays 13...f5 then 14. exf5 e.p.\

14.g3 hhmm is ok. I thought of Rad1!? to be interesting idea. If 14...Bxh2+ 15.Kxh2...Qxd4 16.Bxh7+...Kxh7 17.Rxd4 which gives same pieces gone and ur rook into play. Simply moving ur king to h1 would also work.

I think the others have given u some good things so i wont continue to comment. Keep up the good work mate u played a brilliant game....Cool

Thanks littleman, i think of that as one of my top 10 games. What rating would you say white has, without looking at the info in the diagram?
