Standard time control (90 minutes initial time + 30 seconds increment per move)
Learning Points
- I like certain type of decision making over "innocent" piece exchanges (e.g. 21...Qxd2 initiating the Queen exchange, 22...Red8 and not 22...Rad8)
- I am still bad with pawn breaks -- many opportunities lost.
- My mental strength and mind games are relatively well played!
- Was lucky to survive the opening after messing up a normal move (9...Ngf6 should be played instead of 9...Ne7). But interestingly, it is not bad to the point of becoming unplayable.
- This opening (Caro Kann defense) suits my playing style very much: try to survive the opening, then slowly crawl back into the game. I think it also helps that I enjoy playing this opening on both sides.
Thank you for your time looking at this. Please feel free to share or exchange any pointers for learning purpose!
Yours sincerely
