Critical Position from the Game

Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory

Analyzing the position in my game selected for a Lichess puzzle

I recently discovered that Lichess selected a position from one of my games for a puzzle! Yay!

Unfortunately, it was from a game I lost after blundering horribly from a completely winning position. Not yay.

8 Bxf7+ ... was not the best move ... but for the level of the players (<1700 arena), it was good enough to start a solid attack that required precise defense... until I blundered (see above puzzle).

Of course I had to go back and analyze further. I created and unlisted interactive lesson (puzzle) of how it should have gone:

I didn't make the best moves to get there, but otherwise - yes - I was completely winning.
