Spectator room
- Mediocratic
I had planned 13...Nxd5 but I think after Bxd5 Qxd5 Rxe7 Qc5+ Re3 Nc4 d4 Nxe3 Bxe3 white ends up materially up - Mediocratic
here white keeps a pawn but has a terrible structure - gavalanche20
(16.Kh1) This is that wacky Dubov line right - gavalanche20
(16...Re8) I suppose that doesn't really narrow things down these days - Mediocratic
hello to my frequent observers - Mediocratic
this line looked better in my head but the d5 pawn may be kind of annoying and i might end up having to trade my c-pawn for it, then - Mediocratic
i'll be a pawn up but white has some Bg5 ideas that may be challenging to meet - Mediocratic
hmmmm. does Qd3 Ng4 work?? - Mediocratic
Qd3 Ng4 Qxd4 Qh4 Qf4 Nf2+ Kg1 probably not - Mediocratic
so Qd3 c5 it is, sigh - Mediocratic
maybe Ng4 after dxc6 though? - Mediocratic
Bf4 probably works in both lines anyway - Mediocratic
oh this is also possible I guess but now I also have b3 available - Mediocratic
maybe the idea is Bg5 Ng4 Qh4 now, could be interesting - Mediocratic
oh Ng4 hangs f7 with check - Mediocratic
Bxf6 Qxf6 is always at least semi okay even with the queen on h4 though - Mediocratic
wait maybe it isn't the queen covers e1 - gavalanche20
(27...Rxd8) Interesting endgame, White has the worse structure but also has the passer - gavalanche20
(27...Rxd8) The g-pawns and the backward b-pawn probably offset that though - Mediocratic
Re1 is useful, keeps me from playing Ne3 after g4 - Mediocratic
g4 is still too loose though, and will probably lose a pawn - Mediocratic
i just hope the pawn doesn't run away after Ne4 -> d6 - Mediocratic
come to think of it, that's kind of hard to stop now... - Mediocratic
maybe I should have played Nd6 instead - Mediocratic
maybe Ne4 I can take the one tempo to play Ke7 and get in front of the pawn, the c5 pawn drops but so does d5 I think - Mediocratic
there's also Ng5+ Kd7 Nxf7 Rg6 g5, this is looking more and more annoying - Mediocratic
Nd4 was extremely careless i think, Nd6 leaves the knight without any good moves - Mediocratic
Ne4 Rg6 d6 Ke8 Nf6+ mates also - Mediocratic
Kf2 lets me off the hook as far as I can tell, though a5-Na4 might be a good plan at some point - gavalanche20
Wow well done by White - irongalaxy
The middlegame and endgame were both very interesting - irongalaxy
I thought I might have a slight pull but with time getting low was happy to take the draw - irongalaxy
I missed Nh5 - irongalaxy
That was a nice escape - Mediocratic
You had Ne4 earlier - Mediocratic
would have put me in trouble - Mediocratic
instead of Kf2 - irongalaxy
I looked at that - irongalaxy
Ne4 Ke7 Nxc5 Kd6 - irongalaxy
Was there a better route? - Mediocratic
no but white is definitely better there - Mediocratic
I should have played Nd6 instead of Nd4 - Mediocratic
you pick up the c5 and a6 pawns - Mediocratic
for the d5 pawn - Mediocratic
and you have connected passers on the queenside - irongalaxy
Ah yes it did not compute that I'd get a second pawn - irongalaxy
Dang - Mediocratic
Ng5 seems to be a big mistake in the opening - Mediocratic
Ne5 is the move I expected - Mediocratic
It covers g4, I'd have played c5 there - irongalaxy
Yeah going for what I did was a mistake if I don't have concrete lines in mind - irongalaxy
Vaguely remember 8...d5 being an idea - irongalaxy
I thought maybe Nb3 at some point is unpleasant for me - irongalaxy
For instance after 23. Bg5 I wonder if it works - Mediocratic
I don't really see the point - irongalaxy
Just to keep my a2-rook out of the game - irongalaxy
Ra3 c4 - Mediocratic
The rook is worse than the knight at that point of the game - Mediocratic
If nothing else were happening then maybe Nb3 can be considered - Mediocratic
I should really have taken the bishop instead of the d4 pawn - Mediocratic
The d-pawns aren't going anywhere - irongalaxy
Yeah probably - irongalaxy
Since otherwise Bg5 puts some pressure on - irongalaxy
Anyway gg. I will have to look into that Ruy line - Mediocratic
Yeah gg - Mediocratic
You played well, I thought it was easy to just fall apart after bg4 - Mediocratic
Good luck in the rest - irongalaxy
Thanks, you too!
