Opening 1. I am not that familiar with this opening, so I do not have a clear image of how should a final result of this opening looks in a way that I will be comfortable with. I was just winging it and it seemed to be ok at first. 2. I have missed the tactics of 7 Bxf7+. Having unprotected piece requires being extra careful. 3. 8..g6 is a problem since it totally messes the structure of pawns protecting the king, and since white still have light square bishop, this is a very big weakness.
General Once black king was out of his safe place, I should have put him back to safety fast (Kd7), this was the only way to keep playing.
Points to take 1. Create my ideal position in common openings, not necessarily the accurate move order, but the final system I want to get. 2. Maintain king in safe place 3. Pay more attention to check sacrifices when I have hanging pieces on the board.
Opening 1. According to chess.com analysis, instead of 6. ..b6 should be Bd6. My assumption is that it advance a piece and prepare faster castle. If 7.Ne5 Qc7. Open question here, who needs dark squares bishop more here, black or white? 2. 11..f5 is ok, but h6 is better, probably since it doesn’t harm pawn structure around the king. Position after 11 is favours white. Pawn structure is about the same but in space and pieces activity, white has an advantage. Also black king has castled, but in a risky place, where either pawn storm or white minor pieces can easily strike.
Middle game 1. 15..Bxe5 is not good, since it activates the knight further. A better tactics would be 15..Ng4 and force bishop trade on better conditions. 2. 17..Nd4?? blunder 🙁 The original idea was to cut the connection between queen and bishop, but even if 17. Re1 for example, the pawn on e5 can be easily pinned, so nothing good can come out of this. I took 20 seconds for this move and didn’t notice the pin.
General On early stages, white controls strong diagonal and has more space on king side. In such cases, when Queen on c2 and there are many white pieces on king side, maybe castling long is preferred.
Points to take 1. Better accuracy in the opening. 2. Improve piece activity 3. Adjust castling side to the action 4. Stop blunder pieces
