I think I might be a bit underrated on Lichess. This most recent game, despite some moments I felt like I didn’t know what I was doing, seemed too easy. He never capitalized on times where I felt I made a poor move or risked too much. I still have a terrible habit of trying risky tactics when up, which upon analysis, gives my opponent a chance to equalize.

As you can see, I blundered on move 6 and 7, not seeing that I had more attackers on g5. I remedied that on move 10, but he missed many chances to fix it. The computer also didn’t like my little tactic on move 16. I was hoping for 17.Nxa7 Qa5+ and depending on how he responded, either simply recapture with a more active (though maybe misplaced) queen, or better. The computer also did not like move 19…Ra7. So here’s a question: does 19…Bxb5 leave my rook open to a double attack?
