Trying to do better about conducting serious analysis of my OTB tournament games. First time posting a study --- I think it should be visible by everyone.
I played black.
If there's a better way of using Study to conduct and share my analysis, let me know!
About the game: white was overly optimistic in the opening, sacrificing a bunch of pawns for dubious compensation. As black however I'd say you were a bit too greedy and not careful enough about white's attacking chances, and when you allowed a tactic white took the piece and did not allow you any chances afterwards.
- Indeed 16... O-O-O or 16... O-O would have been better, tactically solving your development problems.
- Your 17... Rd8 is a bit puzzling to me - sure, you're attacking his bishop, but after the natural 18. Rad1 I think you're only helping white create threats against your queen.
- 20... g6 was a big mistake, as you noticed in your game. As you mentioned, it is important to always try to understand what your opponent is planning. Then you would have figured out the point of 20. Rf1 and would not have allowed 21. Qxe6.
- After losing a piece, you were just lost, and white did not give you any chances to come back.
And I'm not sure about posting analyses of games in the forum.
