FEN: 3r2k1/1q3ppn/p1r4p/Rp2QN2/1Pb1P1PP/2Pp1P2/3B2K1/2R5 b - - 11 30

Round 4: expert he hit me with 30. Qe5! in this position which was a great move, giving white a bit of an advantage.

Fortunately I did find a defensive resource via 30. ... f6 where white should play 31. Qg3 and now threatening g5 as I have pawns on f6 and h6.

Round 3: this ended up being my scariest match as in time trouble I missed a drawing line. Fortunately so did my 1704 rated opponent. After cruising along all game, sitting at a +4.0, I played Bxh3?? making it 0.0 if they can find the h4 follow up after Be4+.

Round 2: NM put me under pressure all game, just couldn't get one last piece involved as I defended with 96% accuracy. They lost the initiative as we entered the endgame and it was apparent they were desperately trying to reclaim it.

Round 1: 1927 tried to free their position by setting up g5. I went into a deep think wondering if I should keep the pressure, maybe Rg3, or cash in on my advantage with Qb6.

I wanted to avoid counter play so I spent a long time on Qb6.

1/2
