| Knight13: Instead of 14... Na6?, I think 14... Bc7 was better.
That backrank mate threat was teasing Black, man. Black could've won the dang ol' Knight on d2 if there were no backrank mate threat, man. It's very annoying, man. He should've played h6 earlier. *sight* What a game.

| Knight13: <After 14...Bc7 15. Qxa8, what followup do you see to get compensation for the lost rook?> Nothing. It's just a mistake I did. I though ... Bc7 was good because of what happend in the game, Qxd1+ BOOM! a queen loss. So I though moving the bishop earlier was better and suggested ... Bc7 but I wasn't careful and overlooked Qxa8. |

Clearly Black was already in big trouble by move 14. For example, if 15...Bc7 16. Qe4 Qc8 17. Ng5, or 15...Bc7 16. Qe4 Qe8 17. Qg4, with a strong kingside attack for White besides an extra pawn.11...Bxd3 does not look right, since it loses time compared to 11...exd5 12. Bxa6 Nxa6 13. Nxd5, although White still wins a pawn there. Also, 9...c5 looks premature, and maybe Black should prepare with 9...Nd7 10. 0-0 dxc4 11. bxc4 c5 instead. |
