Yeah not a great start things started to go wrong when you brought your queen out when you still had your King stuck in the centre again without the knight being developed. He got a significant lead. As you ended up reacting rather than having your own plan of attack. When he played 12..e4 that was a mistake, again you fell for the "OMG how do I defend my Queen" rather than the "hmm can I attack back". What you missed is you could just take the pawn Nxe4 as it threatened his Queen and you even things out again. Hmm 14. b4 was a big mistake. He can just take the pawn with his bishop because if you take his bishop he takes your rook on a1 with check. Luckily he played the awful 14.. Qe5 and you replied with the poor d4 instead of just winning his pawn dxe4. I'd suggest the counting technique again. You had 3 attackers he had just 2 defenders so you win the pawn. After d4 you have 2 attackers he has 2 defenders. which means pawn is safe. Then opponent plays 16.Bxh3 effectively conceeding game. Oddly you then continue to react to his moves rather than formulating a plan. A plan could have been: ok your rook is lined up against his king lets get more pressure on that. 28. Rh1 was a passive defensive move. Again you were reacting and going "OMG how do I defend the rook" rather than "hmm can I attack", if you had looked for an attack you'd have noticed that g4 was a mistake as he allowed you to win his h pawn with 28.Rxh6. However he follows up with a couple of trades making the position much more in your favour. Sadly you then went 31. Rd1 protecting a pawn that didn't need protecting (it wasn't passed) and removing your best attacking piece from it's laser focus on the king. Had you played 31.Nb5 you add another piece attacking his weak pawn in front of king continue with a plan and threaten to win his Queen either with trades or by blowing open his position. OUCH 36.Nd5+ was painful to watch and painful to play no doubt as it completely turned the game around. DOUBLE OUCH just seen you play 41.g3+ instantly with no thought (time pressure and resigned thinking). Sadly and the review will show this Qb8+ was mate in one as he only had Qc7 you take the queen with Qxc7# mate. 18:55 I can see you are hurting. The game wasn't stupid you did very well just a horrid knight move and rook goes and game turns. Stuff like this happens - too often - it hurts but tomorrow is another day. Take a breath you played REALLY well but even with great play a blunder can throw a great game. It's painful but tomorrow is another day - you are too good to be a quitter.
yeahhh I don't know I lose composure low on time. I seem to make hasty decisions at critical moments. It's all a learning process I guess. Gotta keep expectations realistic too. thanks for all the insight
Here is some real advice about the game itself. You should have played Nf3 after Qa5, brought the bishop out next, castled, and started play on the Queenside, maybe with some Rb1 and b4 ideas. Your bishop move prevented any c4-c5 play. d3 so soon was very wrong because you needed to play d4 at some point (you played d3 and then d4, wasting tempo because you could have done that in one move to begin with, also it was a bad move because it blocked the queen's access to the black king and prevented you from taking on h7), and take advantage of the fact that your opponent has no d file activity. And generally about your play, you need to change your opening style. You are a reactionary player, which is not so bad, but the whole game you were calculating "how can I prevent my opponent" instead of "how can I attack my opponent" so you need to play defensively. Getting your king to immediate safety will help if you want to change to "attacking" instead.
PLEASE READ THIS FROM A FELLOW YOUNG MALE CHESS PLAYER. I mean this with respect. None of this is right. You are not an IM and shouldn't have IM in your title at all. It is entirely misleading and very pathetic, and takes away from people that actually worked to become an IM. Also stop commentating about chess like you know what you're doing because there are children that are above 1500 already. And just to save you some time and effort, if you think one game a day and TH-cam videos is going to make you climb to 1500, you are completely wrong. And even if you manage to make 1500, which will be impossible at your pace, you will also have to maintain all of the knowledge and STAY at 1500. And the fact that you think RAPID games at a 10 minute time control will increase your skill is misguided. If you played one classical match you would feel the difference. You have to be good at classical first. Also if you are only 1400 in Puzzles then your rating will not jump to 1500. You need to be like 1900 plus in puzzles to even consider it. Play classical matches. YOU HAVE TO PLAY CLASSICAL. Mistakes in time control are meaningless. Here is my advice. Solve puzzles until you are 1900 or higher. Play classical games and make classical play your priority. If you are always thinking of chess from a 10 minute time control perspective, you will never improve, since chess is classical first. Review grandmaster games. Read chess books. This is the only way. You will reach stagnation and decline unless it changes. Also your initial qualifying games will have a huge impact on your rating, so don't let that fool you. I have spent the last two months studying chess intensely and I have improved to a 1500+ level and you are not doing it right at all. Again, remove IM from your title if you actually want a legitimate chess following. If any real people in the chess community saw that you would be regarded as a fraud.
