This video analysis is pure therapy for you, Tryfon, isn't it? It's like talking to your mum when something has gone wrong... :-)

[kingscrusher]

@pbrynild Yes I felt gutted, and I thought the video might help to do a proper post mortem.... :)

We all want to see you climb those 30 points over 2200 again. You always talk about not knowing the theory of many openings, why not make like a russian and work like a dog on it?

[Kasparovwannabe]

@Orgyilkos black Dosent take after rc8 he plays rc3 and if nxc3 then he promotes

[skippy2017]

Very interesting analysis - thanks for posting. I've thrown games away like this probably many more times than you have :-( Endgames are so much trickier than they first appear... and the problem I often get is that I try to play them with very little time left....

[spyPHyps]

May we call you OpportunityCrusher from now on? ;-)

[Orgyilkos]

@kingscrusher Pls, reply why is my logic mistaken :S Or engine check it, I dont have the tools :(

[Orgyilkos]

1:39 In the end when ur knight was forking the king and the rook, why didnt u sacrifice the knight and play Rc8? I guess you could have at least drawn it... If Kxd5 then simply Rxc2 winning the pawn, b3, Rc8 Re5, f4 Re4, f5 Rc4, Rb8 Kc5, f6 Rc3+, WHITE SEEMS TO WIN THIS lol :DD

Don't feel too bad, we all make mistakes sometimes.

I do feel you would benefit from practicing your end games, in particular rook and pawn endings. From watching your 5 minute matches, it seems to me you you end up losing a fair share of them, or win on time.

End games are really unforgiving aren't they! Chin up, you played very well in the late middle game though, cheers Crush.

OMG What a Tragic Loss! I feel your pain. TY for posting, it can't be easy to share this. Shows character. I recall the classic advice, "Past pawns must be pushed." Those Qbits must pale to insignificance after this bitter defeat.
