Old Indian Defense: Czech Variation
  1. somerapidplayer Go nicwest
  2. SedNomini so we're out of the Rat territory, an early capture of the N, seemed to make dxe not seem like the right idea, as the N can't recapture..
  3. SedNomini his N are now way more setup for this closed setup, so I have to counter that with some strategic pawn play on the Qside.
  4. jg777 I want my point back please, Sed.
  5. jg777 We lost a point, and you can give us one back :)
  6. jg777 If 0-0, f4 looks nice for white.
  7. jg777 This also looks like a position where white could play slower and say Bd2-a4 threatening a5 and pushing black's pieces back and
  8. jg777 boa constrictor black
  9. jg777 But white is going active
  10. yellorambo 14. f5 and go?
  11. yellorambo I'm normally awful at handling these positions but Black's pieces are so encouragingly far from the king that it's probably just caveman ...
  12. yellorambo ...time
  13. jg777 I was wrong in my game yesterday, but f5 seems good for white here
  14. jg777 Rf3-Rg3 Bh6 stuff
  15. susiedent (14.f5) go go gadget f pawn
  16. jg777 I suppose even ideas like Kh1 Rg1 g4-g5 are also in play?
  17. jg777 Idea being to try and get f6 in some point
  18. jg777 Rf3! Let black take on c1.
  19. yellorambo yeah I think that bishop was mandatory on f6
  20. jg777 I certainly wouldn't be trying to trade it on g5.
  21. jg777 Whoop! Let's go Sed!
  22. susiedent (16...Nf6) how are we trapping that queen. this should not be allowed
  23. jg777 I'm vibing with Sed's play. :)
  24. jg777 buffer!! :D
  25. jg777 Tune into Nic's stream and give him a follow please, he needs 2 more to reach 50! :D
  26. jg777 https://www.twitch.tv/nic_west
  27. susiedent (18...g5) g5 big energy why not
  28. jg777 g5! Whoa!
  29. bufferunderrun black is in some serious troubles, it looks like
  30. susiedent (18...g5) how about h4 Qxh4 Rh3 oops!
  31. jg777 This loses f6 though
  32. jg777 fxg is necessary
  33. susiedent (19...fxg6) maybe h4 was the crusher there what does black even do
  34. jg777 h4 looked strong, yes.
  35. bufferunderrun maybe h4 on g5, somehow I think black got away with this now
  36. jg777 Probably forces g4 which is bad too
  37. jg777 I think black is paddling on down the river here still, yeah.
  38. jg777 If we can get the queen back on g7 maybe we reorganize and push again
  39. jg777 Rh3 for example
  40. jg777 nic is thinking of playing Nh5 next
  41. bufferunderrun Nh5 they are pondering on seems unnecessary, probably inaccurate as well
  42. jg777 I think he is seeing ideas of Nf4 stuff
  43. jg777 and Rxf1 stuff
  44. bufferunderrun Nh5 Rh3
  45. jg777 Right, but I like Rh3 from white right now
  46. jg777 just stop the Nh5 idea cold and maybe put that queen back on g7.
  47. jg777 Then white has all the activity to reorganize
  48. bufferunderrun yeah, Idk
  49. jg777 Black has ideas to trade stuff on the F file though at some good moment and I don't see how white can really stop that
  50. bufferunderrun looking a bit at Nd1-e3-f5 stuff
  51. jg777 Is there time for it though?
  52. jg777 I don't have Rh3 anymore :(
  53. jg777 Bf3!!
  54. jg777 He moved to quick there.
  55. bufferunderrun yeap
  56. yellorambo Qd1 works too
  57. yellorambo the pawn is pinned
  58. yellorambo or Qe2 rather to also hold c4
  59. bufferunderrun hold on
  60. bufferunderrun there is Qe3+ there
  61. jg777 Yeah I am just wanting to pull my pieces back and hang on to everything
  62. jg777 Right, Qe2
  63. jg777 need to defend e3 since rook isn't after Bf3.
  64. bufferunderrun the knight on c3 is hanging
  65. jg777 Correct.
  66. jg777 I forgot Bf3 blocks R on e3 eyes.
  67. jg777 So Qe2 holds it all
  68. yellorambo ugh
  69. bufferunderrun gxh
  70. yellorambo omg what is happening :D
  71. yellorambo please :D
  72. yellorambo woohoo :D
  73. jg777 knight drops
  74. yellorambo aww
  75. yellorambo Bg4 and go for the king then
  76. yellorambo yeah
  77. bufferunderrun a lot hehe
  78. jg777 slow down sed!
  79. yellorambo still should be good, but now it's messy with c4 falling
  80. jg777 Be2 holds
  81. jg777 There is some mating idea I think Sed is going for, but I don't think it works
  82. TimothyHa Regardless of results - great endgames today
  83. jg777 fork's game was not a great endgame. :P
  84. TimothyHa For the mega team
  85. jg777 Okay fine it was good, but yeah, the result was sad.
  86. jg777 Fork and I had a chat about it after the game
  87. yellorambo I mean you either get the mate, or flush the king to h6 with Qf8+ to follow
  88. yellorambo I can't visualize the rest but g4 and h4 seem like great resources there
  89. bufferunderrun hmm... Be6+ is problematic
  90. jg777 I'm seeing Qd2 Be6+ Kg7 Qf7+ Kh6 Qf8+ Kh5
  91. bufferunderrun Be6+ Kg7 Qf7+ Kh6 Qf8+ Kg5 h4+ and Qh6
  92. jg777 And I can't see how white follows up after that
  93. yellorambo ah I dodn't consider the queen coming back
  94. jg777 I don't like Qe3 as much because I don't want the g4 to move for white, so Qd2 I thought was better.
  95. yellorambo Qd2 risks being skewered from h6 though - probably not an issue if you can actually calculate, unlike me
  96. jg777 I don't know after Qf8+ if Kh5 is playable now for black
  97. jg777 But anyway, white kind of needs to play for this idea now as Nic said, white's pawns are falling soon otherwise
  98. jg777 so Be6+ Kg7 Qf7+ Kh6 Qf8+ then see what happens.
  99. bufferunderrun maybe this is still fine
  100. jg777 Moving to fast!
  101. yellorambo quiet 31. Qf7 here?
  102. jg777 I would be play SUPER slow here for both sides :P
  103. jg777 g4+ wins though?
  104. bufferunderrun yes
  105. susiedent (30...Kh5) how does g4 win?
  106. susiedent (30...Kh5) after Kxh4
  107. em-as-in-emily (30...Kh5) there's two M3s there
  108. bufferunderrun g4+ Kxh4 Qf6+ Qg5 and Qf2#
  109. jg777 No, black has Kh5!
  110. jg777 Qf6_ Kh5( back).
  111. em-as-in-emily (30...Kh5) but g4 covers that
  112. bufferunderrun g4 covers h5
  113. jg777 Righto
  114. jg777 Yeah so then I was right, Qf2#.
  115. susiedent (30...Kh5) fair enough
  116. jg777 Okay.
  117. em-as-in-emily (31.g4+) if g5 instead of Qg5 there's also Qh6$
  118. jg777 I'm forgetting g4 was on there
  119. jg777 It's mate, mate. Sorry nic!
  120. bufferunderrun g5 doesn't help either
  121. jg777 Nope.
  122. susiedent (32.Qf6+) i thought you were trying for Qd8 and taking the knight and allowing perp
  123. jg777 g5 Qh6#, Qg5 Qf2#
  124. susiedent (32.Qf6+) forgot you can also mate the guy
  125. jg777 hehe, yeah.
  126. bufferunderrun lol
  127. jg777 We have been going for mate since Be3!
  128. jg777 Be6*
  129. jg777 I'm glad I am not playing tonight, I can't even get coordinates right now.
  130. jg777 Heya Matthew!!
  131. jg777 Glad you are able to play! :D
  132. bufferunderrun I think the blunder was 30...Kh5
  133. bufferunderrun should have taken the pawn
  134. MatthewKCanada Hello. Hope he finds mate here.
  135. bufferunderrun gg
  136. MatthewKCanada And he did.
  137. susiedent gg
  138. em-as-in-emily gg
  139. MatthewKCanada gg
  140. jg777 good game Sed! Nic, thanks for streaming! 2 more followers to 50! :)
  141. jg777 Keep at it mate! If it wasn't for Sed I'd have been rooting for you!
  142. bufferunderrun hmm... apparently h4 g4 was okay
  143. jg777 Wow, after g5 we missed Qe3!
  144. jg777 Which looks crushing- we missed it!
  145. bufferunderrun yeah, g5 was bad, but for other reasons :)
  146. jg777 Yeah the mating net doesn't work if 30. Kxh4- that was the key move- and white can only draw it then.
  147. jg777 Well thanks for getting a point back Sed, I need to focus on my work again! Cheers!
  148. bufferunderrun I first thought it would be a mate, but then saw that there were no Bg4 stuff, since h4
  149. bufferunderrun so it's perpetual on h4 and e7
  150. bufferunderrun unless white plays something else, I mean instead of the check on f7
