My game against IM Mauricio Arias

Hi celinofj, nice win. Do you think that Bh2 or Rg1 would've save the game for white? BTW, I also won yesterday against NM, but he was playing vs 75 people.
Yet another titled player punished for playing simul. Anyone can win with anyone. If they play for fun then I have no issue. It's not easy to concentrate on many games at a time.

@celinofj
Congratulations for your win!
16. Bxh2 wasn't sound though I can understand possibly why. And the simul factor helped you win.
@bagelkh Hi! Bh2 would be checkmate in 3 moves, so it would not save the game (24. Bh2 Ng3+ 25. Bxg3 Rh5+ 26. Bh2 Rxh2++). It could save the game if I made a mistake...

24. Rg1 Rxe5 and I would have 9 pawns advantage according to Stockfish, and I would be up a piece in material. My opponent had 40 seconds only to think...

I think in both cases, my opponent would depend on my mistakes to overturn the game.

Congratulations for your win against a NM ^^
@Akbar2thegreat I completely forgot g3, I could lose the game... He still had 5 minutes on the clock...

"Anyone can win with anyone". Well, I was the only player out of 31 which won. He got 28 wins, 2 draws, and my game :D
@Akbar2thegreat you won't compliment me, that's ok!

I will analyze my game, cause the purpose of this thread is receiving insights :)

24. Ne4 would attack both my Queen and my Rook, and also attack the g3 square, which was the square that I placed my knight instead... It could shift the game to his favour.

18. Nxd3 19. dxc7 Nxb2 would be great for me, it would remove both queens from the board, which is important when you're playing with a stronger opponent, removes chances of a counter-attack!
yes, 24.Ne4 is ok for white.
Trading queens against stronger player does not work unless you've got an extra pawn, at least it doesn't work for me ;)
yall just gonna look at the computer suggestion and say its fine. good victory but try to reduce the average centipawn loss. will get u much more great wins. that being said, great job @celinofj
@celinofj
I am not trying to be mean. I congratulated you right after pinging you.
And what I write before ping was general talk not with you directly.
