Spectator room
- NxN
Rad8 Bxd8 - sahkal
now h6-g5 would be quite insane, hard to believe it could work out well - NxN
Be6 - AtomikMorphy
It's not insane, it can win pawn or bishop.. just don't get checkmated - sahkal
but otherwise i'm not a big fan of the position because Nf5 is coming - sahkal
it feels like there should be some way to play here but i'm not seeing it - NxN
the d5 pawn is attack , white plan next is Bb3 is Be6 - Inter-temporal
(15.Bc2) maybe just sac the IQP - NxN
Be6 Bb3 Nec4 - NxN
yes but he must prepare to sac it - NxN
and the d4 square is very defended - Inter-temporal
(15.Bc2) it's so much easier to sac other people's material - Inter-temporal
(15.Bc2) black feels a lag in development... - NxN
yes that is why i like Be6 - sahkal
okay, let's try this. Nec4 was another idea but then maybe Qd3 and i have to go g6 - sahkal
i don't understand this Qh5 move yet - Inter-temporal
(18.Qf3) maybe the iqp can advance (while White aims at Black's K) - Inter-temporal
(18...f6) here we go... with the tick tock of sahkal's clock - NxN
why advance it - Inter-temporal
(18...f6) i need to get my blood pressure meds... - Inter-temporal
(19...Rfe8) Black could use d5 - Inter-temporal
(19...Rfe8) among other things - Inter-temporal
(20...Bxg4) yeh. gotta lop that horsey off - Bpack
Go Sahkal! - sahkal
i was more afraid of the Nf5 lines than this, but i'm quite low on time so it's gonna be hard - sahkal
trying to delay Qc6 for a bit so that i have Bf4 if the white queen moves away - sahkal
maybe g5 is also an option but i'm not sure - sahkal
now my bishop can move back to c7 if needed, Nc4 and b5 is an idea, also then in a dream scenario Nd6-e4(f7) - sahkal
don't think the position is that bad objectively anymore, but the time situation is not ideal - AtomikMorphy
typical sahkal, he's most dangerous when playing on increment - Inter-temporal
(22...Qc6) even more so without Qs - sahkal
have to take with the pawn on c4 otherwise Rxe5 - sahkal
although maybe not - sahkal
because i have Qc7 back on Bxc4 Qxc4 Rxe5 fxe5 Qf6 - NxN
Rxe8 Rxe8 Rxd5 Re1# - Inter-temporal
(24...Bc7) white's back rank is a little weak - NxN
Yes - NxN
I liked white postion until this Qh5 move - Inter-temporal
(25...Ne5) yay. the N found it's way back - Inter-temporal
(26...Nc4) lol - alex11star
Qd3 Nxb2 Rxe8 Rxe8 Rxe8 Qxe8 Qxd5+ Kh8 g3? - NxN
wish black have more time - alex11star
blunder - alex11star
Bb6 - alex11star
unless somehow Qf4 Nd3 take take take take Qxf6 works - alex11star
Bb6 Rxe5 may have been the idea - sahkal
i think on Qd6 they had Bf4 so now i'm trying to go Qd6 next maybe - sahkal
f4 of course Bb6 - alex11star
i wonder if c4 works because of the 'back rank' - sahkal
now Nf7 will sometimes be an option too - AtomikMorphy
Most importantly, let's hope Bxd5+ is not working any time soon - sahkal
Re1 or Re2 still Nc4 - sahkal
*Rd1 or Rd2 - sahkal
what a move Qe4, i missed that option - Inter-temporal
(29...b5) is that really necessary - Inter-temporal
(29...b5) i guess so. - alex11star
Rd2 is impossible to Nxg4 but Rd1 may not be - sahkal
but i had no time to calculate whether i'm lost or not - sahkal
i probably am lost somehow - alex11star
Kh8 instead of b5 probably - sahkal
of course i couldn't move my knight because then it's mate starting with Qxe8... - sahkal
but if they move the rook to the d file then i can move my knight. maybe a5-a4 to try to get the bishop off that diagonal - AtomikMorphy
Qd6, then sneaky Nf3+ - AtomikMorphy
time for tricks - Inter-temporal
(32.f4) hm - alex11star
there's a perpetual here for black lol - alex11star
amazingly enough - Inter-temporal
(32.f4) on the k? - alex11star
of course Kh2 Nxg4 Nxh6 - alex11star
but not with the pin - alex11star
play Kh8 now - alex11star
hmm g5? - Bpack
Too passive, time to get him in the game! - sahkal
Nf3 was an option but at the end of the line the rook gets to e7, so i first got my king off the back rank - alex11star
Nf3+ gxf3 Rxe2 Rxe2 Bxf4 - sahkal
hopefully this is a better version - alex11star
oh gxf6 first - alex11star
maybe - Silkthewanderer
(35) intermediate exf6 and Bg5 ? - alex11star
i think it just activates the king - alex11star
black somehow managed to escape this - Inter-temporal
(37.Re7+) dizzying changes - Feet_Barbie
(37...Kg6) is this the party - alex11star
nooooo - alex11star
why - alex11star
oh wait - alex11star
i guess this might work - alex11star
careful of f7 Rf8 Bxd5 - Inter-temporal
(38.gxf6) the party might be winding down - Inter-temporal
(38.gxf6) or i'm just in denial... as usual - Inter-temporal
(38.gxf6) i guess there's no need to discuss it. lol - Inter-temporal
(38...Kxf6) oh my man... with the clock. geez - sahkal
maybe i could've got away with h5 but couldn't calculate it out full - sahkal
should still be fine - Inter-temporal
(39...d4) open sesame - sahkal
as the white king is out of the game - sahkal
don't see how they defend b2 - Inter-temporal
(42.Rg7+) maybe the party is indeed winding down? - alex11star
you sure Kh4 didn't work? - sahkal
i think Ra7 would be a blunder due to Be3+ - Inter-temporal
(42...Kf6) like, ...Kh4? to go for mate? - alex11star
it's still available, sahk... - alex11star
idk maybe it's not winning but it looks like it anyway - Inter-temporal
(45...Rd2) yeh - Inter-temporal
(45...Rd2) the Kings get dangerous - sahkal
probably 45...Rf4 was better, i am seeing ghosts - Inter-temporal
(46.b4) a big white ghost on f1 - Inter-temporal
(46...Rb2) and those little white ghosts on the Q-side... - alex11star
f4 Bxf4 Rf5+ possibly - Inter-temporal
(46...Rb2) and THAT little white ghost on the f-file... - Inter-temporal
(46...Rb2) crap i'm seeing ghosts too - Inter-temporal
(46...Rb2) i miss Jeb and oOoShoNuff - alex11star
f4 might still draw but if you push f5 and leave it there so the bishop defends, while you take a6, gets hard to defend for black - sahkal
on a3 maybe Rb1 and Bc1 - Inter-temporal
(47.Bb3) is ...Bd2 good - Inter-temporal
(47.Bb3) seems too obvious perhaps - Bpack
I thought it looked good - Inter-temporal
(47...Rh2) maybe there was a trap....or another unfriendly ghost - sahkal
my opponent is putting up good pressure still - sahkal
ideas include Rh4, Rf2+, Bd2, depending on what white plays - alex11star
the party is dragging on so long the beer is flat and the pretzels are stale - Inter-temporal
gg - sahkal
oh 24.Rxd5 - sahkal
that's an oopsie - sahkal
g5 - top engine move! - sahkal
i was most afraid of 16.Nf5 - sahkal
apparently it's not much - sahkal
my opponent played it a better way - Inter-temporal
where was g5 top? - sahkal
when i played it! - sahkal
feels good :) - sahkal
because it's a hard move to make - Inter-temporal
28... - sahkal
the engine doesn't like my 12...e5 - Inter-temporal
it knows a minority attack when it sees one - sahkal
i was concerned about my bishop - sahkal
the queen's bishop - Inter-temporal
but it was like that.the ...Nb6 was in the way... or out of play... or both? - sahkal
in the way of what? - Inter-temporal
the b-pawn - sahkal
yeah that's true - Inter-temporal
i'll see ya in slack. great defense!! - sahkal
i just didn't think i can play it without e5. thought the kingside play would be too strong then - sahkal
because i have no pieces around my king, and the c8 bishop takes a very long time to be useful - sahkal
it's something to look into - sahkal
oooh and i missed 29...f5 and then Qxh6 winning a piece - sahkal
or more like an exchange - sahkal
Qe4 came as a shock - sahkal
glad i didn't go for 38...h5, then f7 Bg5 Re5! which i missed would've been bad - sahkal
good intuition there to not play with fire
