wanderer_c seems to have solved the puzzle. :))

That would have never happened if people were interested in breakthrough.
There is no point of just playing, if there is no discussion on the game.
I just get bored of the lack of communication (since I am not a bot) and I
played more and more quickly in the opening.

In the upcoming championship, I am still the large favorite if I regain motivation.
Would you like to put your money on wanderer_c, basat?

@edbonnet: Speaking of openings, do you think this move was a mistake?
[game;id:1609640;move:40;title:A mistake?].

Well, I guess it's hard to call move 40 an opening move. I suppose it's more middle game? Anyway, the question stands.

It's not a mistake. I was already lost.
It was the best try but then I overlooked
something and I had to resign.

If I play 40.a6-b5, White plays 41.c2-b3 and wins easily.

In this game wanderer nicely implemented one of my ideas:
White should gain some space advantage in one side (to avoid Black
Hadrian's wall).
I played too fast to bring something to the theoretical debate.

The decisive mistake is 20.d8-e7.
Afterwards, I cannot contest the center.

That answers the question I wanted to ask. Thanks.

Is it really that far back? The symmetry of the move looks very appealing to my untrained eye. :) Of course Wanderer is also completely oblivious to "blunderness" of that move.

I think it is.
If you look at the position after move 29,
Black cannot put a pawn in c5 anymore, so it should be losing.

And I don't see what I could do better from move 22 to 28.
It seems somehow that I cannot build the f5-e5-d5-c5 wall, so
it might already be losing.

edbonnet apologize.
wanderer_c did not know that a bot.

I wish bot ... This incorrect moves (human-specific) does not continue the game and with the way I won 60.b8-c7.

I played this move when I'm drunk ... boots do not drink. :)

bot do not drink. :)
