This post resumes the annotations of my past tournament games following
Annotated Game #18: Comeback (Round 3). This game actually was the second one played in the next tournament, as the first round game was the shortest win of my chess career (10 moves) and did not warrant annotation. It is included afterwards, however, mostly as a warning to those players who don't find it necessary to think in the opening.
Returning to the second round game, an English opening versus a King's Indian Defense setup, it features an all-too-typical pattern of an opening advantage in space and time squandered by too-slow play, then the selection of an incorrect plan based on a lack of appreciation for my opponent's possible threats. This points to the need for deeper study of the middlegame transition point, in this case moves 10-13, where improvements were found for White.
