FIVE EXTRA PAWNS

Five extra pawns did not save Black

Recently, I had a fascinating correspondence chess game on the Chesstempo. Finally, my opponent had five extra pawns, but I had better development, and my opponent's knight was pinned. Then, my opponent had five extra pawns against my extra piece. The opponent had almost finished developing, while weakening their pawn structure. I was not sure whether I could win or even make a draw. A computer analysis says I had a better position. However, suddenly, my opponent made a blunder...




For the analysis, see below.

CHESSTEMPO 2400

In rapid games, I achieved the rating 2400 on the platform Chesstempo. 

There is something wrong with the correspondence chess rating. Definitely, it should be far below 2500. Perhaps, some statistical fluctuation as I have played only a few games.
