Fun fact: the rook is the one piece that does not benefit from being in the center of the board. A rook on e5 controls the same number of squares as it does on e1.
That's a shame. That said, all the way through I was terrified about a pin on the bishop or knight on the d4 square. Even as early as 6:10 I was worried that after an exchange on d4 the your piece would be pinned because the queen on d3 is undefended.
In previous games you would often move your queen into lines of attack. So it's good to see you were aware of the risk of having your queen on the same file as their rook. Obviously creating a mate in 2 opportunity by doing so is less than ideal, but at least it's different and making a different mistake is much better than making the same mistake. And you probably only made that move as quick as you did because you felt you wasted too much time on the move before.
I enjoy the videos. But like many others here I'd like to see you improve and break your peak rating of ~1500 you've had for 2 years soon. Maybe play less blitz and study instead?
Your game review gives you very little benefit. You are analyzing individual moves, without understanding themes of the position, or common tactical awareness of certain positions. You will only get this knowledge from a chess coach, or watching or reading instruction from a master.
You overthink too much. Make simple moves. 3:08 just Qa5 check or put rook on open file Re1. I would've exchanged the Bishop to disturb his pawn structure. Plus he doesn't have dark Bishop to attack h2 pawn with rook on open file.
Tough loss! But seriously I think the rook had no business being there it wasn’t really doing anything. Also if/when you’re down material it’s neat NOT to trade off pieces. GG
Seems like you've recently developed a habit of moving your rook into the center of the board in the early middlegame without much plan for it there. I could be misremembering, but I don't think this is the first time it has gotten you into trouble. Rooks should usually be connected. If you're not planning on stacking the rooks, most of the time it is best to leave them on the back rank until later in the game. In this game, what did you intend to do with it after moving it to e5?
Play a bit slower. No point making quick moves if they are bad moves. Ignore criticism I’ve seen in other games claiming you are losing endgames because you’re too slow in the opening and midflegames. You are losing endgames due to inexperience and a lack of knowledge.
Man spent almost an entire 5 minutes to make a move after losing the rook🐌

bro forgot how the knight moves
Only tune in to see the pins nowadays
Yeah recent opponent pins have been on point
Trying to move the knight from e4 to c2 😂

By now there's no doubt that the Patrick Pinaphobes see it coming miles away.
the rooooook!

I agree. It has happened quite a few times in the last few months. And sometimes the rook gets trapped.
I tap my head when I need to touch wood
12:58 - I think Re1 keeps you in the game. That was a good move by your opponent. Keep pushing on!
I also wondered about this.
Nope, queen eats d4.
Queen takes d4
pawn to f3?
Same old.
