Daily Chess play - 1339 - Frustrating first game but won the rest

Summary:
First game, Black put himself in a bad position where he moved his pawn all the way out to g5 early. Punished it and gained a Knight and pawn advantage plus traded Queens. I played safe until I didn't lol. I blundered my Rook. Definitely my game to win. Not a way to start... so frustrated but I still wanted to play more =)

Second game, Gained a pawn early. Traded some more pieces then I was up another pawn then another. White blunders his Bishop and resigns.

Third game, Traded Knights for Bishops. Found a way to check the King and gain a pawn. White blunders his Queen. All downhill for him there but kept playing. Won shortly after taking many of his pieces for free.

Fourth game, Made sure to block his white space Bishop for the entire game. He traded his Knight for my Bishop which was stuck anyway; Strange move. White hung a pawn and he also blocks in his own black space Bishop. White Queen kept on pinning my King on g4 and g5 but I am not sure why. He had no supporting pieces but it made me worry anyway =) Second time I realize he was aiming for Knight which I moved out of the way. He makes a mistake and attacks my Knight with pawn on g4. He still tried to defend but managed to find a checkmate.

I think I improved my castle defense by stacking more pieces like in Game 1 and 3. Should have won all my games but I won't complain anymore =). Thanks for watching. Please Like and Subscribe.
