Spectator room
- JohnJPershing
Lets get em Clo! - Superfighter
Go cloheessy! - TimothyHa
(5) Shaun @ssyx :-) my old teammate - ssyx
Hi Tim!! Good luck to you mate - somerapidplayer
Go Tim! - xkm
go cloheessy!! - Superfighter
(8...b5) ambitious strategy from Black - nic_west
lets go tim! - TimothyHa
(10) trying to remember 4 plans stated by Yermolinsky :-) - TimothyHa
(10) I miss him - he seems to have vanished from the scene - Superfighter
White might go for a Pillsbury setup here - cloheessy793
hi team - Superfighter
Hi and good luck - cloheessy793
(10.Ne5) little bit uncomfortable here already still settling into the game - TimothyHa
(10) are they reviewing their losses in QGD or having dinner? - TimothyHa
(10) a stonewall here is tempting but probably doesn't work with that bishop on b7 - TimothyHa
(11) I wish it stays there for 10 more moves while I play on the kingside - TimothyHa
(12) strange to play against QGD from White side - TimothyHa
(12) but at least I recognise the moves - cloheessy793
was considering Nd5 on move 10, happier with it in this variation with the white knight gone from e4 - TimothyHa
(13) time for "strategy" now... - cloheessy793
was worried about something like 11.f4 - TimothyHa
(14) tempting to play Bxe4 but it's not GNBB endgame yet - Superfighter
(14) this looks okay still but Black's structure is a bit annoying to play with. I guess that's why Black rarely plays b6 early in the QGDE - TimothyHa
(15) just to stop f5... - TimothyHa
(15) Nxf2 Rxf2 Qxe3 - TimothyHa
(15) probably Rd1 is enough - nic_west
15.Nd2 not a worry? - TimothyHa
(15) Nxf2 Kxf2 would be hilarious - TimothyHa
(15) this team wants great endgames... - TimothyHa
(15) no need for an early mate - TimothyHa
(16) this is a show of respect for my bishop - cloheessy793
got a bit too tunnelled on trading bishops playing a5 and missed how weak the c pawn was getting - cloheessy793
holding on a bit here - TimothyHa
(17) my friend used to say a pawn on e4 is good for middlegame but is doomed in the major piece endgame - TimothyHa
(17) c5 happens in any case - JohnJPershing
17... Ne4 is interesting. Its a good square for it, but feels like wasting time to make it dance back and forth - TimothyHa
(19) I thought I have nothing against c6 but I do - TimothyHa
(19) Bxc6 Rc8 Qa4 - TimothyHa
(19) in other scenarios I get something to c6 and block their structure - TimothyHa
(20) this endgame is objectively not winning, but simple to play without danger - TimothyHa
(21) I've got Rc2 Rfc1 while they burn time - TimothyHa
(21) king safety... they forgot this - TimothyHa
(21) in major piece endgame... - TimothyHa
(24) it's not so easy to draw this, I think, for Black - TimothyHa
(26) I've butchered a winning rook endgame against a CM recently, so I've got no illusion... - TimothyHa
(27) just trying to prove my friend's point about the advanced pawn on e4 - Superfighter
(27) Black got a big old piece of what happens when you don't break with c5 in the QGD this game - TimothyHa
(30) I think they panicked looking at the clock... - TimothyHa
(33) I won't rush, will keep my pawns for one more move... - TimothyHa
(33) exf4 looks like a winning move, though... will check after the game - TimothyHa
(34) if they don't take, I push e4 - TimothyHa
(34) the trouble with rook endgames is that time doesn't help if you've got no idea... - TimothyHa
(34) needs planning... - TimothyHa
(36) d5 is a dirty trick - TimothyHa
(36) but I have time so can choose better ideas - TimothyHa
(37) too many islands - TimothyHa
(37) f4 is to stay safe and not lose the game accidentally - TimothyHa
(38) Rd3 next... - TimothyHa
(39) I never beat a rook with an outside passed pawns, but I might this time - TimothyHa
(43) yeah forgot this :-) - TimothyHa
(43) might have to win with f+h now - TimothyHa
(45) f+h is theoretically drawn though - TimothyHa
(45) so my b-pawn push probably was wrong... - TimothyHa
(45) but will have to check later... - TimothyHa
(46) them thinking probably says they don't know about f+h - TimothyHa
(46) or they want my f pawn - JohnJPershing
I dont think I understand 46...h3, but I'll do some analysis later - JohnJPershing
I need to get better at rook endgames - TimothyHa
(46) h3 is probably wrong, I can win the pawn endgame - TimothyHa
(47) this will be many different endgames in one game... - TimothyHa
(50) I control g5 - TimothyHa
(50) so I think I win - TimothyHa
(50) my pawn hasn't crossed the river yet - TimothyHa
(50) if I get to g7 I win the pawn from behind - TimothyHa
(51) would be a shame to draw with 30 mins on the clock - TimothyHa
(52) I think it's h4 and then whichever way they go I get to g7 - TimothyHa
(52) ah that doesn't work - TimothyHa
(52) Kf7 Kh7 opposition - TimothyHa
(52) so h3 to kick them out of opposition... - TimothyHa
(52) maybe I have made this a draw anyway - TimothyHa
(53) would have been nicer to win the first endgame of the season - TimothyHa
(53) but I missed the chance somewhere - TimothyHa
(53) now there's opposition on the 6th if I rush with h4 - TimothyHa
(54) I guess they know the f7-h7 mirroring... - TimothyHa
(56) the endgame I had against the CM - I butchered in just one move - one wins, one draws at the very end - TimothyHa
(56) close to promoting two running pawns - one of the two - TimothyHa
(56) our childhood fears from losing the pawn endgames do kick in - TimothyHa
(56) I guess that's why they have to make sure it's a draw - nic_west
gg - TimothyHa
this pawn endgame was still winning! - ssyx
Gg - TimothyHa
ah, use the h-pawn to kick the other king from defending the g-pawn - TimothyHa
and on g5 it's f5 and run - TimothyHa
"would be a shame to draw with 30 mins on the clock" :-) - TimothyHa
I can quote myself now - cloheessy793
i wasn't expecting QGD and got a very passive position early on with the b6 Bb7 stuff - TimothyHa
I looked at your recent QGD games and wanted to try them out as White - cloheessy793
next time will play c5 right out the bat - TimothyHa
:-) then you get hit by something else! :-) - cloheessy793
haha - TimothyHa
openings are hard, but endgames are harder - TimothyHa
our team two seasons ago was called Oopsenings, Meddlegames, and Errgames - cloheessy793
In my last go in this league I drew then lost two winning rook endgames in consequetive weeks - cloheessy793
so nice to get lucky this time round - TimothyHa
I need to read up on drinks to use in endgames - TimothyHa
maybe it's all about drinks. - cloheessy793
hahaha maybe - cloheessy793
thanks again for the game and good luck with rest of season!! - TimothyHa
thanks! see you around
