@chessanalyst what color were you?
@Reeceys black and I lost on time. Just played a s@#$ game for what I know I can do. Couldn't calculate anything and made a bunch of jank decisions.
24... Qc3 won for black forking two rooks but I didn't see it was too worried about my opponent delivering mate for some reason.

do you know how to handle d4 on move 5? very trapy
@Manglecopter I have in my book castles and not a5 also had the position before in games. Was just too tired and not awake yet to function. Also I missed a fork instantly winning the game. By move 10 I had used 20 minutes and flagged at the end.
E: Bxc3 was the game losing blunder though my opponent did not find the way to punish it with Ba3! I seen it as soon as I moved but he eventually played Bg5 and I started to have another ungodly long think. Seen so many ghosts this game not at all fun.

Yeah, it is not fun when you allow your opponent to play d4 and are forced to take.
@BronsteinPawn
true, its like the evans gambit only white here still has his b pawn
Also +1 for the name, Bronstein is my favorite chess writer of all time and an impressive player
@chessanalyst As for the game it was quite a bad opening , later your position seemed to hang by a thread but you seemed to play some decent defence,and it would actually be an amazing comeback, had you found 24.Qc3 which is a very rare occurence:a queen forking 2 rooks and actually winning one( usually they find a way to protect themselves)
Overall it wasnt that bad, although missing one move tactics hurts. Both your feelings and your rating :)

ok a few more things 4 vs 3 is probably a draw( not 100% sure about that) with Q+R so there is a chance that 27...Qxa2 holds
in the R vs Q ending maybe if you manage to place your rook on the the 6th and pawns to h6 and g5 there is a chance this will be a fortress(not very likely but its a try) although white would never actually allow all these moves if he knows what he is doing

@MorningCoffee
Did Bronstein's books gave you that juicy rating?

In the queen vs rook ending it was hopeless anyway since there were no tricks and even the tricks that did exist such as Rook to the first rank followed by Rf1 winning the queen with the skewer. Even the pawn endgame would have been lost though my opponent did not fall for that and I had seconds left. So I flagged. Anyway QvsR would be a draw if all the pawns were gone and I was left with the f7 pawn in fortress style. And that would NEVER happen unless I was gifted several tempy and was allowed to exchange off the pawns.
