You Played: Qg4+ You Could Have Played: Rh1 Eval Swing: -579 cp Variation: Rh1 Rdh8 Rxh4 Rxh4
You could have played: Rh1Rdh8Rxh4Rxh4

FEN: 1k6/p1p3p1/np4R1/8/2r2B1K/4p3/PP6/R7 w - - 0 28
You Played: Rxg7 You Could Have Played: Kg3 Eval Swing: -394 cp Variation: Kg3 Rc2 Bxe3 Rxb2
You could have played: Kg3Rc2Bxe3Rxb2
Coach Explanation
You had a chance to activate your king with Kg3, creating a pin and winning material. This move forces Black to respond to the king's advance. The best line shows that if Black responds with Rc2, you can play Bxe3. After that, Black's best response is Rxb2.
CRITICAL: Your move allowed the opponent to immediately capture your White Bishop on f4.
Refutation: Rxf4+Kh5Rf1Rxf1
Coach Explanation
BLUNDER: You hung your Bishop. The opponent can simply take it with Rxf4+.
Rg4 is superior because it maintains the attack, as seen in the line Rg4 Re4 Bg3 Re8. Re8 instead allows the immediate loss of material.
Recurring Patterns
The player's cross-game history shows a strong tendency to blunder pieces, often hanging them. This game is no exception with the Bishop blunder. Missed opportunities involving pins continue to surface, as highlighted in the missed King activation and resulting pin. Additionally, positional errors persist, exemplified by the missed Rh1 move despite safer alternatives being available.
