This game teaches you two things that are very important: Look out for diagonal attacks and forks. Many games that I play one of the players (my opponent or I) loses because of diagonal attacks. Notice that my opponent played f6 to avoid a draw. ( 1. Qe3 Ng4 2. Qf3 Ne5 3 .Qe3 Ng4 1/2) This game as you can see could have easily been one by either of us.
This is an amazing game played by Caruana and Carlson.

I don't win even half the games I play online. So here I will put a game that I lost on chessfriends.com onto my blog.

With one second left I tried to blitz it out. I should have taken on f2.
Kd2? was a bad move. Nb3+ a discovered check was the A+ for black to make.
A discovered check is when a piece moves without playing check but uncovers a
piece behind it that can play check. By moving the black knight to b3 black uncovered the rook that was able to attack my king. Notice how Nb5+ traps the black rook on
b4. When playing games you should always try to not trap your own pieces.
