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

Game 3 – 28.02.2024 – B – win

• Opening theory: Blunder by opponent turn 3
• 3. Should have just taken the free pawn
• 4. Take free pawn or c6
• 9. Move Q to attack pawn or move N away from d7
• Around 21 Endgame
• 31. M8 missed → g5 not considered
• 32 “blundered B”
• Overall quite nice, missed the pawn in the opening and “blundered the B” (was still ok to trade for pawn) but executed well overall
