Round 2 Review
Finally the round 2 game against Wang. You can pretty much tell this was a game between two wanna-bes, especially the gaggle of errors in the endgame. Although maybe I’ll put it down to time pressure.

I thought that I saw a missed winning tactic for you in this game so I fired up Fritz. What I saw was an illusion but 23…Rxf2+! looks interesting and may give black another chance.
Per Fritz:
(23… Rxf2+ 24. Kxf2 Qf6+ 25. Kg2 Qxa1 26. Qxa7 Qb1 27. Qxc5 Qxa2+ 28. Kh3 Qxb3=)

How about the next set of pairings?

@Tacticus: Yeah, that definitely keeps things much more active for Black.
