This is a blitz chess game I played as black with time control 5|2. The opening was a Queen’s Gambit Declined by transposition. The activation of black’s queen bishop can sometimes be a little difficult with a white bishop deployed early to g2. If black can get the queen bishop working, equality in the position is usually not far off. An ending with opposite colored bishops is not necessarily a draw, especially when each side still possesses a rook, and pawns fixed on the same color as that of the opposing bishop.

"How did this one end? I dropped my rook. laugh Does that ever happen with you? It happens with me." It's things like this that make you so great to follow. 🙂
why did you change the title
Have you ever considered playing games like this with a face-cam? That'd be so awesome to see!!
I was shouting Rd2 at my screen (between the queen and the rook). You would win the b-pawn. Unless I'm looking at it the wrong way.
Hey Jerry, you ask yourself the question "where does my bishop belong" in almost every game, but I am in many games unsure of be2,bd3, to pin the knight etc. Is the motif behind knowing where the bishop belongs further explained in any of your videos?Thanks!
after 10. Qa4, what was wrong with taking the pawn d4 via Nxd4?
