So today I played Fatima again, aware that I'd lost every game to her in the past ... Could I turn things around finally? Well, it started off badly and I lost at least two games when she played her Scotch 'Terrorist Attack' against me, despite me blogging about this opening in the past!
The question is - am I learning anything at all from these miserable defeats? The answer is of course a resounding 'YES'!! The computer analysis on chess.com will always advise you exactly where your first blunder, miss or mistake took place, in order for you to improve on it in your next game ... In this game on move 7, I kept thinking that taking the Knight on c6 was the correct move, but actually playing Knight b5 was much better ... The analysis showed me that Fatima actually blundered on the move after, by moving her Rook to b8 instead of her King to d8.
The result of my efforts was 89.7% accuracy and a simple checkmate ... although I think I was fortunate that Fatima sacrificed her Queen in this game !!
