Game 4 – 29.02.2024 – W – win

  • Accuracy 87.1%, 950 estimated rating
  • 5. Identified Carlsbad structure but couldn’t remember what it means for me
  • 7. Didn’t take the free pawn but figured I could do it after kicking the B
  • 12. Bad move as it loses the N, didn’t consider the pawn move in the game (move K out of the way is better)
  • 14. Forced way to trade Q would have been Qe5
  • 17. Both takes are equal
  • Felt quite tense to defend
