https://www.chess.com/game/140949808348 I've been a French Defense player for a while. But I think I am hitting a level where it is a lot harder and more intense to play. Which makes sense as I progress. But looking at my opening, where am I going wrong and what should I play instead?

first 7 moves were good I'd say u should have probably played Bd6 rather than e7 cuz it's more active and u don't really have to worry about ur knight getting pinned in that position cuz he can't Qb6 was way too rushed would have been better if u castled first Taking the knight was also a bad idea, castling would have been fine or maybe even Rc8 Main things to consider Try to keep ur pieces active if possible instead of just developing for the sake of it Don't trade in the centre if it allows ur opponent to get a strong pawn in ur position

You are playing online chess and you are winning because there's mate in 1 meanwhile your internet connection is gone and your opponent wins you also lose lots of elo , what would you do?

WINS!

My GOAT Game???? Must Check!

My happiness today is another level( you will get to know at last, Read till last and let me build some suspense) I played Catalan opening( its more of a positional opening not some fancy gambits or something, here slowly develop) Got 90+ accuracy 😱 Played perfect opening🥶 Organised a Kingside attack 😨 Missed an opportunity 😞 and Finally delivered my final blow with Qh7 🤩 So what isnt it normal on my level(2000) ? Now its real twist in the story. So ladies and gentlemen, I am proudly breaking the suspense as I played this whole game blindfolded 🫣🫣. And on blindfold, its easier to play and even win with gambits but I decided to play positional game(trades also happend late) where I need to know the position of all pieces. Still managed to do all of this and I felt very nice and decided to share here. Thanks for reading 🤘 Which one was best here?
