Lost to BlackPlayer (1185)

A central pawn push allowed a decisive tactical fork

How the game swung for you. Higher is better for you.

The turning point, move 8

You played 8.d4 here. Find a better move: drag a piece, or tap it and then its square.

Your best moment, move 12

12.Bxb4

You found 12.Bxb4, immediately punishing Black's mistake of Qxb4 to win material after 12...Nxb4 13.cxb6 Nc2+ 14.Kf2 Nxa1.

Before advancing a central pawn, check whether the newly opened diagonals expose your undefended pieces to a fork.

You demonstrated great tactical alertness by spotting 12.Bxb4, and tightening up your piece safety will make you much tougher to beat.
