Thanks, feels like I came pretty close to stumbling there, after stupidly moving my rook out. I was determined to hang on to my extra pawn, but looking back I probably should have just covered it with the bishop, kept the rook on the back rank, and slowly played my way out.

Not sure if I was in any real danger, but it was certainly an unnecessary complication.

The computer analysis does not object specifically to my move 16. ... Re5, but much of my advantage slipped away in the moves following that, so my intuition that it was a positional blunder may be correct. I'd be interested to hear Gustaran's evaluation. smile

As part of my training I ordered a 1 hour video training from International Master Valeri Lilov (Elo 2434) and asked him to look at some instructive games from our tournament.

He decided to comment on the following games:

- pindicator vs. MJW
- Zakalwe vs. Gustaran
- Zakalwe vs. MJW
- Rowain vs. darrelljs

If you are interested you can download his video analysis here:

GG, Zak.

Zak won his first game against me so he can still catch Gustaran.

I was not all that happy with my position after 15 moves, but then I found a pawn sacrifice that magically activated all of my pieces. It's looking a lot better now. (Unless I'm missing something.)

Indeed, your 16th move was quite cathartic. I shouldn't have accepted your sacrifice but even so the move activated your pieces.

Very cool, Gustaran. I'm starting to look at them now. Here they are, rehosted in my dropbox, for posterity:
