Let's compare the player's thinking between solving combinations from books and during an over-the-board game.
In my game as Black (Shpagin - Neagos), after the moves:
1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 Ne4 3.Bf4 c5 4.f3 Qa5+ 5.c3 Nf6 6.Nd2 cxd4 7.Nb3 Qb6 8.Qxd4, which are theory,
I have thought for about 5 minutes and „I said�: the white pieces are improper developed and don’t collaborate one with the other...if my queen were on d8, I could play Nc6 with tempo, e5 with tempo and d5, forming a nice center. So I played „cold�:
8…Qd8!? Drawing back one of my few developed pieces. It followed: 9.e4 Nc6 10.Qd2 e5 11.Be3 d5 12.exd5 Nxd5
Now it is clear that Black is better, so the 8th move was good...13.0–0–0 Nxe3 14.Qxe3 Qb6 15.Qe4 g6 16.Qh4 Bf5 17.Bc4 Qe3+ 18.Nd2 Qxc3+! 0-1
The whole game came easy, after the „amazing� move 8...Qd8. The problem is that a computer "sees"
9.Bxb8! Rxb8 10.Qxa7 and White is going to win. The truth is that we, the human beings, are not used to such moves like 9.Bxb8, exchanging an already developed piece, for one which is still on his initial square. Moreover, we don’t look so far in our opponent’s side.
If this position is in a tactics book, anybody can find 9.Bxb8. But I, my opponent and my coach (an international master) HAVE NOT seen it!
In an official game, nobody warns you: „be aware that you have a combination, marked with 2 on a scale from 0 to 10, about deviating the defender!�.
The conclusion:
The practice is harder... much harder...

Very nice game..with interesting notes and wisdom!
Your plan with 8.Qd8? worked this time because of weak play by your opponet. But the idea behind it seems that you are a adwance thinking player! And the Queen move is good example when we are so inspired by ouer ideas that we forgot simple possible move from ouer opponet..But we are learning! Thanks for this article.
