When Being Too Defensive Hurts - How I Gave Up A Great Fork In Chess
I still won this game, but upon looking back at it, I realized I made such a big mistake in the beginning because I was too defense-oriented. Let's reflect and learn from this. Let me know if you've made a mistake like this before. How do you get yourself out of the "defense-only" mode in chess? Looking forward to your comments!
I started playing chess in November of 2023. I have other bigs brands that I run, but my mind needed to continue its neuroplasticity, so I started studying chess as a hobby after a childhood family friend who was a chess protegy inspired me. Ultimately, I aspire to get to a level where I can win against that childhood friend who was a chess protegy. Add me on Chess.com and Lichess as jerrycricket. If you add me, please let me know.
