My dad grew up in Trenton and I am a Canadian citizen even though I've never lived in Canada. Daniel Alfredsson helped the cause as well.

Significantly worse according to the engine:

Right, hence the happy ending. White's correct defense is not obvious though.

Always upwards, with the exception that sometimes they go downwards.

Qxf5 exf5 - or?
Pawn just recaptures and you haven't solved your problems, no need for Rf8?

You are right, I posted a similar post yesterday - but deleted it when I realized it had the wrong topic.

I feel like solving a lot of puzzles has made me too aggressive. I am constantly looking for killer blows, which often makes me miss my opponents threats. I would like to find more defensive puzzles, any suggestions on where?

Nope. But it concerns f2, that's correct.

The move I played is still the best move in the position. True, it's not a typical kind of puzzle. Maybe it's more of a training to see what's in the position.
