    Game 13648226
    I had entered the following conditional moves ...31.Rxc6 Rf1+ 32.Kh2 Be5+
    33.g3 hxg3+ 34.Kg2 R(8)f2+ 35.Rxf2 Rxf2+ 36.Qxf2 gxf2 37.Kxf2 Kd2 which I somehow thought was winning(looked winning at the time ) ...long story short only 31...Rxc6 was played (accepted by system).
    Then instead of 31...Rf1+ I absentmindedly played Be5 losing after 32.Rxf2

    If I may suggest: Rather than grabbing that pawn on e4, you might try: 6.... g6 followed by Bg7, that produces an indirect defender of your e pawn, develops a piece, and with a kingside castle, your king would have been safer than on a queenside with such a fractured pawn structure. Also - I'd be very cautious about conditional moves. I never do them. It gives an opponent a peek at one's thought process. - JMHO 🙂

    Hi you said that you entered a long string of conditional moves, but it accepted only the first one? I've never offered more than one move before. Wasn't real sure it was possible to offer more than one at a time. Anyway, it looks to me like none of your conditional moves was accepted by the website. Otherwise, after Rxc6, Rf1+ would have been automatically played...not allowing your Be5..

    Yes, I agree that conditional moves are very risky business.

    Deep Move allegedly allows the input of multiple moves

    Did you play more carelessly because of your opponent's low rating?

    I would've played the same vs. any ratings. I finished 2nd place 🙂

    Then I agree with the others who said castling queenside was not a good idea.
