All the games contained inaccuracies and blunders =( I guess I still need to play more to familiarise myself with this new repertoire. The first game was interesting in that the power of the Bishop pair must be respected =)
Game 1
Learning Points:
1. Do not let "scary looking position" take over you. Perform actual calculations to address this fear!
2. Be concerned when drifting into "don't know what to do" mode.
Game 2
Learning Points
1. The opening play here is good, but there are still signs of unfamiliarity.
2. The consolidation of advantage when winning is good, but the misplaying of the position -- thinking it was a safer approach to simplify but it resulted in significantly reducing the advantage from winning to "just better".
Game 3
Learning Points
1. Definite signs of unfamiliarity -- so many Bxf7+ opportunities missed.
2. Too careless in the beginning with 8.e5?! -- 8...Nxe5 would've killed White on the spot.
3. Better stick to the most familiar opening approach even if the pawn structure looks very similar -- there are differences in how you handle counter-threats.
Thank you for your time and attention =)
Yours sincerely
