Hunting for Mistakes * GÁL, Hanna vs. me

"2kr4/p4p2/8/2b4p/3Nb1rP/5PP1/PPPR4/2K1R3 b - - 0 27"

After White's last 27.f2-f3??
it is Black to move

The game was played in the county team championship, on Jan-17, 2010.
I was the second player and in my time trouble I missed to exploit White's blunder and made a weak move. (It was time pressure on my part, while the opponent had plenty of time...)

Try and guess the move-sequence that wins the game for Black. (please write your solution as a comment to this entry)

After White's last 19.Nf3-e5?
it is Black to move

The game was played in the county team championship, on Feb-21, 2010.
I was the second player and missed to win a piece in the position, but still won the game.

Try and guess the move-sequence that would have won the game for Black on the spot. (please write your solution as a comment to this entry)

He was the very type of opponent I should have beaten no matter what--only having survived the opening part...
Having gone through the game again, I am not very fond of the whole idea of exchanging pawns on d5 early and, of course, that 8.Bf4?? was something resembling my early days of playing in OTB tournaments, when once I got checkmated as early as in 7--as White... :)
I don't think anything like this could ever happen on occassions when I am calm and have had a good night's sleep before the game. But this time, I could have said _days_ before the game, without being sure of the identity of the oppponent, that I am only sure that I will be unable to pay attention to chess... I simply couldn't get myself at all to practice. :-(
However, at times like this, when I am not in good mood and the opponent is weaker, I should at least try using different openings, which keep the position closed until when my king has castled and moved to safety. Sadly, I had neglected to consider that.

Major improvements:
* 12.exf5 (instead of g4)
12..Nxf5 13.g4 +/- (or +-)
* 26.exd5 (instead of cxd5) and the Queen heads for f5. +-
(It still remained +- but that would have been even stronger.)

The game was of course +- when I (as White) offered a draw on move 31.
(I may be a coward, but I don't care. I had had bitter memories from the past, and my opponent was rated 260 points higher than me. I would have been glad with this result before the game.)

Hajdú-Bihar County Team Ch. (Bakk vs. Törös)

Today I played OTB (over the board) as White -- for the first time in a game for Elo-rating since 2004:

Can you see how I am trying to hide the secret chess thoughts from the opponent? :) (Yes, I am the one with hands folded over the forehead.)



I must admit that neither this opponent showed much resistance.

Hajdú-Bihar County Team Ch. (Kovács, Lajos vs. Bakk)

Today I won again in the county club championship.
It was a blunder at the end that resulted in a 4-move checkmate (remember, my MGPG were on!), nevertheless I was satisfied, because I had been sick for days and did not sleep a single minute the night before the game.
