The Art of Fighting Back (also known as the Art of Self-Destruction)

You know, when you are losing, you feel bad mentally and emotionally. But you play on, and hope for something. You give it your all.

In the game below, I was losing, but epically, I came back. He was rated 300 pts. below me. He played well, but he self-dustructed in the final moves.

This happened to me (self-destruction) too. My opponent was rated 200 pts below me.
So, this shows you that you should always play on, hoping for a mistake or two. Or, you can just not make mistakes and play your best!.

    Thanks

    The rationale behind Kh1 is to eventually have a pawn storm with g4 and the king is safe, i guess

    I think it was to get the king off of the soon to be exposed diagonal (because he was about to advance the f-pawn).

    Interesting games. Just curious, why did you play 10.Kh1 in the first game? I just can't see the idea behind it.

    That first game was very exciting.  Very nice game.
