Ruy Lopez: Berlin Defense
  1. Meeklydim (6.O-O) I saw a game with Bd6 a while back, the idea is Re8 Bf8
  2. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) the tempi mind game lmao
  3. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) I'll probably play a d3 structure and take it slow
  4. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) I usually prefer those positions better
  5. jwwells42 ok Ba4 is deep
  6. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) but If Be7 I might go for d4
  7. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) althought he might go for d6 Nd7 Bf6?
  8. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) Too early to decide
  9. jwwells42 I was gonna hit that bishop with a6-b5 to get Bb7 in but now it feels like it might be silly to play a6
  10. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) The reason I played Ba4 is not only that I'm not sure about d4 or d3, but also
  11. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) that Im not sure about Re1 or Rd1
  12. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) and Na3 Nc2 is too slow of a route
  13. jwwells42 wonder if they suspected this line or just had this laid by
  14. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) I also like the fact that this probably creates a new position this early :D
  15. Meeklydim (7.Ba4) Although I'm pretty sure black likes that
  16. Meeklydim (7...Bf8) so g6 Bg7 is now his idea
  17. Meeklydim (7...Bf8) with d6 probably or a6 b5
  18. Jacob_E Go Jwwells!
  19. Meeklydim (8...h6) also reasonable, but he's just feeling the waters still
  20. Meeklydim (9.Nbd2) a6 might come now to stop Nc4
  21. Meeklydim (9.Nbd2) and I4ll consider Bxc6
  22. Meeklydim (9.Nbd2) Bxc6 not good after a6
  23. Meeklydim (9.Nbd2) I mean not bad either
  24. jwwells42 i wanna Ne7 but cant figure out how to enable it
  25. jwwells42 yeah i think i don't have a clean way to make use of Ba4 without a6 maybe and i just need(ed) to do it anyway to get that diag back
  26. jwwells42 ohhhh or keep Bd6 on and reroute horse first
  27. souzamoraes gogo Meeklydim!
  28. Meeklydim (10.d4) Rb8 is probably fine, but I feel that its too slow so d4 is logical
  29. Meeklydim (10.d4) my other choice was to play calmly and the position will transpose into something more familiar after b5
  30. jwwells42 oh right Nb2 covered e4 pawn :<
  31. jwwells42 Nbd2
  32. jwwells42 does it matter tho
  33. jwwells42 maybe banking on Nxe4 Nxe4 d5 Nf6+?
  34. Meeklydim (11.cxd4) the debate now is whether a3 is gonna be necessary or no
  35. Meeklydim (11...Nxe4) another debate is whether I should play the endgame d6 Bxc6..
  36. Meeklydim (11...Nxe4) Okay I totally didnt consider this move
  37. Meeklydim (11...Nxe4) but on first glance I dont feel white is struggling
  38. Meeklydim (14.Qd3) Qxf6 was an option
  39. Meeklydim (14.Qd3) but the position is blurry after Be6 Qxb8 Nxb8
  40. Meeklydim (14.Qd3) I expected him to play that
  41. Meeklydim (15.Be3) no way to prevent Bf5 really
  42. Meeklydim (15.Be3) so Qd2 and Bc2 and take it slow
  43. Meeklydim (15.Be3) I'll eventually get compensation harassing that rook
  44. Meeklydim (16.a3) I can always Bxc6 but I really dont want to play Qa6 in such a position lol
  45. Meeklydim (16.a3) nvm I cant
  46. Meeklydim (16.a3) missed Rxb2
  47. Meeklydim (16.a3) so Na5 incoming now?
  48. Meeklydim (16.a3) Na5 Nd3 Nc4 Nxc4dxc4 Qd2..
  49. Meeklydim (16.a3) if not Na5 I'll b4
  50. Meeklydim (16...Bg6) Rxd4 threat now thought
  51. jwwells42 havent found anything for white yet but still scared to death
  52. Meeklydim (17.Qd2) Kh7 Rc8 Ne7..
  53. jwwells42 this probably counts as 'something' tbf
  54. jwwells42 clock & nerves, find safe moves
  55. ShadowedSpace (19) goooooo jwwells!!!
  56. ShadowedSpace (19) you got this
  57. ShadowedSpace (19) breathe
  58. ShadowedSpace (19) your team loves you no matter what
  59. Bananasinpajamas Let’s gooo meeks, keep up the pressure
  60. jwwells42 just noticed Be5, Bg7 would've been better
  61. Meeklydim (23.Bd3) my idea is Rc3 Rh3
  62. Meeklydim (23.Bd3) also stopping Qb5 and anticipating Qa3
  63. Meeklydim (23.Bd3) he's crammed for real so I'll just play slow improving move and hope blacks positions falls
  64. Meeklydim (24.Nf3) Nf3 is not a move I was happy to play but no rush ofc
  65. Meeklydim (24.Nf3) I just need to remind myself that I'm in no rush to change the position
  66. Meeklydim (24.Nf3) sometimes the temptation of monkey brain is too big
  67. Meeklydim (26.Ba4) Bc2 Bb1 next
  68. Meeklydim (28.Qc3) these positions do get funny lol
  69. Meeklydim (28.Qc3) imagine he puts a queen on h8 to press
  70. jwwells42 out of time
  71. Meeklydim (28...R8e7) lol he's planning it :D
  72. gavalanche20 Was f6 the idea?
  73. gavalanche20 Wow seems so
  74. jwwells42 title track "aint done fightin (but i might be soon)"
  75. jwwells42 didnt leave myself enough time to calc any of this
  76. jwwells42 forced by meeklydim ofc
  77. jwwells42 oh i hung a piece kek
  78. jwwells42 had planned Qg6
  79. jwwells42 Rxe5 followed by Bd4 is pretty stout atm i think
  80. jwwells42 that too
  81. jwwells42 rip
  82. jwwells42 got the opening i expected, got the tactic I expected, and either misevaluated it or misplayed it
  83. jwwells42 but ok in blitz & otb for the last month i've hung a full piece early in nearly every game os this is probably outperforming expectation
  84. jwwells42 Rd1 and resign, probably others
  85. jwwells42 yeah this'll do
  86. souzamoraes gg
  87. gary0892 Good Game
  88. Meeklydim Nd8 kinda made me comfortable
  89. Meeklydim I thought black had a good defense
  90. Meeklydim as long as he stops white from rook lifts
  91. Bananasinpajamas Gg
  92. jwwells42 i have a lot of trouble seeing if pieces can be taken when i'm under <3 or so
  93. Meeklydim ah so thats why
  94. jwwells42 i thought Nd8 was forced because otherwise Bxf5 Bxf5 Qxc6 and in my head that was white up a piece, not winning back the pawn
  95. Meeklydim I see
  96. Meeklydim and the position kept crumbling after that
  97. Meeklydim you were playing on 45 secs
  98. Meeklydim I think
  99. jwwells42 yeah i can really only afford that kind of clock if it's a technical conversion type of position
  100. Meeklydim true
  101. jwwells42 but i had a lot of problems early
  102. Meeklydim very fun opening though :D
  103. jwwells42 Ba4 completely got in my head
  104. jwwells42 yeah fun for white xD
  105. Meeklydim hahaha yeah
  106. Meeklydim I mean Bd6 I was really excited
  107. Meeklydim I sawa Tiviakov's games and some of them had Bd6 but I never faced it
  108. Meeklydim I knew the idea though so I was just improvising
  109. Meeklydim I was writing my thoughts as I went so you can check them out
  110. jwwells42 yeah i saw
  111. jwwells42 I think ..Bf8 was unwise tbh
  112. Meeklydim Afaik thats the idea of
  113. jwwells42 like it does want to go there often but i think it was too certain of a "fallback"
  114. Meeklydim so it was totally the move I was expecting
  115. jwwells42 when I could have gone back to where i usually put the bishop on ..Bc5 if i.e. 7..h6 8.Bc2
  116. Meeklydim so Be7 you think?
  117. Meeklydim isnt there xc6 and Nxe5?
  118. jwwells42 i'm not sure what it' sdoing on Be7, that didn't occur ot me
  119. jwwells42 where
  120. jwwells42 oh on ..Be7
  121. jwwells42 yeah d6 c5 or f8 were the squares i didn't look at e7 at all
  122. jwwells42 probably also ..Rb8 was ill-advised
  123. Meeklydim yeah Rb8 I felt was too slow
  124. Meeklydim I thought a6 is the standard way
  125. jwwells42 I didn't realize that after d4 exd4 cxd4 the queen was hitting b5
  126. Meeklydim aah okay
  127. jwwells42 and i wanted to ""make use of"" this Ba4 in some way
  128. Meeklydim hahah thats really funny because I was hoping Ba4 would have that effect :D
  129. Meeklydim its not that uncommon of an idea btw
  130. Meeklydim I saw it played a bunch of times
  131. Meeklydim when black delays a6
  132. jwwells42 yeah this was my first time trying to prepare for Qe stuff
  133. jwwells42 *Qe2
  134. Meeklydim I see :D
  135. jwwells42 the stuff you had been playing in the db I could make sense of so I switched to this
  136. jwwells42 ..Bc5 would have been my autopilot if I hadn't ""prepped""
  137. Meeklydim Oh really, thats like the most challenging move against Qe2 I think
  138. Meeklydim I thought you play Be7 and I didnt prep
  139. Meeklydim because Be7 the game is just very calm
  140. Meeklydim and I wasnt intending to strike early
  141. jwwells42 i still dont understand Be7 xD
  142. jwwells42 your queen is on the e-file I don't want to stop it up
  143. Meeklydim its just d6 and you keep the bishop on the defending diagonal
  144. jwwells42 i see
  145. Meeklydim there also ideas with Nfd7 Bf6
  146. Meeklydim Anyway,
  147. Meeklydim awesome game
  148. Meeklydim I'll send you analysis if I have any
  149. jwwells42 sounds good, ty
  150. jwwells42 and gg to you
  151. jwwells42 might be in conversation for a board prize now? I was leading till this
  152. jwwells42 or is there someone on 7/8
  153. jwwells42 ok yeah crazymerlyn is up there but still one of the top on board two
  154. jwwells42 anyway, take care & gl!
  155. Meeklydim We'll see how that goes!
  156. Meeklydim you too, see you next season!
  157. jwwells42 really thought 11...d6 was admitting being worse tbh
  158. jwwells42 i did consider the Qxf6 Qxe8 Be6 Bxc6 Rxe8 Bxe8 line but it seemed like the two rooks would be missed
  159. jwwells42 but king safety is so important to my clock usage maybe that was another miseval
  160. jwwells42 ahhh there is c6 and the bishop is trapped. that does make it seem more believeable maybe . .slightly
  161. jwwells42 see you next season indeed! :eyes:
