This game was a 15+10 rapid game that I played on chess.com today. I think that its something I can learn from if people are willing to give me some advice.

#

I don't really see how Nxg4 is a blunder, does anyone care to explain to me?

#

Is this a situation where the rook and the knight are worse than the queen?

Well what was your plan on 18.Ng5

#

It looks to me like you end up down the exchange for a pawn after simplifications

Ng5 Rxe3 Nxf7 Bxe2 Nxd8 Bxd1 fxe3 Rxd8 Rxd1

ember plank Well what was your plan on 18.Ng5

Nxg4 you mean? I thought this was a general plan when white plays that h3 g4 thing to kick out the bishop then you sack to keep the pin and open up the position.

#

As far as Ng5 than idk

#

white is +1 after best play from black

#

looks pretty dubious

Dubious for black yeah that's why Nxg4 was bad. I meant 18.Ng5 for white of course

#

Of course. I'm not sure why I did it in hindsight but generally I thought that opening up white's king was a good idea

#

If seen that sack work for black in Italian positions so I wasn't really sure what the difference was
