CRITICAL: Your move allowed the opponent to immediately capture your Black Knight on c6.
Refutation: Nxc6 bxc6 Bxc6+ Bd7

Coach Explanation

BLUNDER: You hung your Knight. The opponent can simply take it with Nxc6. After Nxc6, the continuation is bxc6, Bxc6+, Bd7. O-O is better because it develops your kingside rook and gets your king to safety.

You Played: Re8
You Could Have Played: Bc6
Eval Swing: -342 cp
Variation: Bc6 Ne7+ Kg7 Qxd8
You could have played: Bc6 Ne7+ Kg7 Qxd8

Coach Explanation

You had a chance to unleash a powerful pin with Bc6! This move immediately puts the Knight on d5 in serious trouble. If White responds with Ne7+, then Kg7 forces a Queen trade with Qxd8, leaving you with a winning advantage. This brilliant tactical shot was a key opportunity to convert your material advantage even faster.
