you know move 14 he just put his queen for the taking.. Nxg4 just wins for black. Also move 15 Rg8 wins for black. If he moves his queen u checkmate on g2. Move 20 Nxf2 should easily win it looks really good at first glance. On ur question Qxg7 is forced because the computer see that Nxg3 followed by Rxg3 just ends the game with mate threats evrewere.

Ur tactical feel is pretty novice. If you had a little better tactical vision u would crush these guys since in other regards ur moves are sensible. Im 2200 on blitz on chess.com and 2200 elo irl so im not a noob looking at this.

Thanks for good feedback. I now climbed to 1300 on blitz after focusing on tactics practice. I am also 1400 on daily chess and maybe can climb a little higher. Now I don't drop as many pieces and I notice when my opponent leaves pieces hanging. Sometimes I'm so focused I miss obvious crap - like one game I could've captured enemy queen with pawn but I was already in winning position and looking for some fancy combo that I missed it. Luckily I still won.

At what rating range do people stop blundering pieces in blitz?

People still hang pieces and miss checkmate at 1400 although less often than in lower ratings obviously. I started playing daily chess and found that it's much more enjoyable to think as long as I need on a position.

Here's a fun game I played that finished today. Neither side played perfectly but we're not GMs

This is the other game I played. Managed to get a sizable lead out of the opening and finished with some special tactics White resigned but this would've led to me being up a piece in addition to the 2 pawns. e.g. 20. Re2 Nxf4 21. Rxf4 Bxc3 22. Rxf8+ Rxf8 and white cannot recapture the bishop since he's hanging back rank checkmate.

Caruana and So qualifies to the Candidates via rating.
Kramnik gets the Wildcard to the Candidates.

How on earth do people hang pieces and fall for 1 move tactics in daily chess? ~_~

I remember a story about two IM's who played a tournament game with classical time control and one of them blundered a full rook. His opponent didn't notice however and the game went on for a few moves before either of them realised there had been a rook for the taking this whole time. I think it was a game of Josh Waitzkin (not sure about spelling), who had some instructional video's in the older Chessmaster game series (CM9 iirc).

So in short, it happens to the best of us. I think it's called 'chess blindness'. When you think too deep or too positional, you can end up missing obvious moves. And because you expect your opponent to not blunder, you look for different things and might miss the exact obvious move your opponent missed.
If it ain't Dutch, it ain't Park Yeong Min - CJ fighting!

Uzbekistan's Nodirbek Abdusattorov set the record for 2nd youngest age at which he became a GM at 13 years, 1 month, 11 days, edging out the previous record of Indian GM Parimajan Negi which was 13 year, 4 months, 22 days.

Russia's Sergey Karjakin still holds the record for youngest at 12 years and 7 months.

One annoying thing about daily chess is that people seem to play out completely lost positions. I'm playing three games where I'm a piece and 1-4 pawns up and opponent is refusing to resign. -_-

They probably know how terrible you are, so if they hang in there you will probably allow mate in one.

i like daily chess but i don't like how your rating starts off so high by default and jumps up by so much after each win when you're starting out. i lost one, but won six, and now i'm "1570" even though there's no way i'll stay there.

sometimes people will keep playing when they're down, because its easy to blunder. like i just blundered because i missed a simple discovered check until after i just made my move. now i'm gonna lose my queen and i'm gonna resign. if i dont blunder i try to shut off all counterplay by forcing exchanging off of pieces

I think it's fine to continue playing if you have some tricks or counterplay but if your position looks like this...

Depends on the ELO and clock time remaining, at lower ELOs and under time pressure a lot of people pull out stalemates because of mistakes by their opponent. Maybe not in that picture, but the idea of playing for your opponent to screw up isn't a bad one at lower ELOs.

Yeah, I mean if your opponent is rated 1000, you should never resign especially in bullet/blitz since he'll probably stalemate you lol

did your opponent really keep playing that out? how many more moves did hey play?

anyway got up to 1350 blitz yesterday, but went on tilt today and dropped back down to 1300. was really hoping to break into 1400. in a month or two i hope. holding steady at 1500 daily chess. need to keep grinding and keep climbing. i'm happy cause over a decade ago in high school i was ranked 1100 scholastic, so at least i've gotten better since then - and i haven't competed since then either, just been reading books and playing coworkers and friends from time to time
