Daily Chess play - 1402 - Woo made it over 1400!!!

Summary:
First game, I kept making this same mistake where when White has Knight on e5 I stick out my pawn on f6 and I put myself into a trap where I should lose my rook. In this situation he lets my Rook live for an extra check. I then launch my counter attack developing and solidifying my structure. Was able to get a Bishop for free and I was slightly better. I wouldn't allow his Knight in for any tricks. I start attacking with my Rooks. We do a trade and I come out better. End of all that I am up 1 Bishop and his pawn structure on one side doesn't work at all. Eventually resigns.

Second game, After a series of posturing and trades, I come out of it worse. I then blunder my King into a pin =/ at f3. Lost my Rooks and game over from there. I would like that one back =)

Third game, Free pawn at e5. And that lead would stay for awhile until I go another pawn up. Then another pawn so +3. He then blunders his Rook at f8 and resigns.

Fourth game, I wanted to go over 1400 =). I mess up again the same way as the first game. At least I got the Knight but White stays and continues to be aggressive. There was a point where I could have trapped the Queen but I didn't see it. It was when he took my pawn on d5 with pawn. I could have moved my Bishop to g4 and then Rook to f8. At the end he was 3 poins ahead but for some reason he resigned. I don't know why but I will take it.

Overall, I played fine but I need to stop making that same mistake in games 1 and 4. And the self pinning King move =/. However I made it over 1400!!! Woo. Next milestone, 1500. Thanks for watching. Please Like and Subscribe.
