- Rolihlahla
hi Scarff :-) - Silkthewanderer
Go glbert - Saturnitus
Go Eric! - Rolihlahla
hi Saturnitus :-) - Rolihlahla
hi Captain :-) - mkubecek
(8.Nc3) Hi :-) - Rolihlahla
i think we are still in book - but i'm never 100% sure after move 2 :-) - Rolihlahla
Bxc4 - not sure what he is thinking about .... - Silkthewanderer
Nxc4 is a move - Rolihlahla
was thinking 10. ... Qa5 there - Rolihlahla
but want to develop first .... - Silkthewanderer
It would be great if Nxf7 worked but I see no way for that - Silkthewanderer
Same after Bf4 and Nf6... Nxf7 seems to just barely not work - Rolihlahla
did not expect that ... - Silkthewanderer
Okay, interesting. Let’s see what I missed - Silkthewanderer
Basically my assumption is that Nf6 holds everything - mkubecek
(13.Qb3+) Kf8 should be just fine, IMHO - Rolihlahla
hey Kjar :-) - Kjar
Hello hello :-) - mkubecek
(13...Kf8) Rather expected something like Qf3+ or Qh5+ with Bg5. - Silkthewanderer
I think Qb3 is a good square for the Queen. The only problem is that there isn't really another piece joining - mkubecek
(14.Re1) Nf6 still looks like a good plan. White can try Bg5 but he does not really want to trade on f6. - Silkthewanderer
Ah. 14. ...Nf6 15. g4 could be an idea - mkubecek
(14...Nf6) Hm... Nf6 g4 Bxh2+ might be fun. (Did not calculate it through, though.) - Silkthewanderer
That would lose because White gets a Ba3 check when you are done - Silkthewanderer
15. Ba3 is the move with which you hope to make a draw. But I assume glbert had ambitious intent - mkubecek
(14...Nf6) Maybe Qe6+ instead of Nxg4+... - mkubecek
(14...Nf6) Ah, Ba3, not Qa3. :-( - mkubecek
(14...Nf6) And how about simple g4 Nxg4? - Rolihlahla
Bg5 and I'm think Greek gift - mkubecek
(15.Bg5) Better not... There is no clear threat after Kh1, AFAICS. - glbert
that was a dumb move. - Silkthewanderer
Bxh2 Kxh2 Ng4 Kg3 Qxg5 Qb4+ is something that might refute - Silkthewanderer
Well, not refute. Possibly lead to perpetual - Rolihlahla
if he doesn't take on h2 - seems like he has a good attack - Silkthewanderer
Well... with Bxf6 White is looking for tactics I assume - Silkthewanderer
Defending R against bishop pair is an absolute nightmare in any endgame - mkubecek
(17...gxf6) Yeah, once the other bishop gets out, white is in a lot of trouble. - mkubecek
(17...gxf6) g3 wouldn't be a good idea now. - Silkthewanderer
Bxh2 there feels dubious to me. Finishing development seemed more important - Kjar
Is Re8+ any good, I am curious... - Silkthewanderer
I think the king escapes after Re8 Ke8 Qg8 Kd7 Qf7 Kd6 - Kjar
Re8 Ke8 Qg8 Kd7 Re1? - mkubecek
(17...gxf6) Maybe Re8+ Kxe8 Re1+ then Qf7+ or Qg8+ - Silkthewanderer
You need Qg8 first or the king goes back to f8 - mkubecek
(17...gxf6) And Qb4+ does not work any more because of c5 or Bd6 (or even Qd6). - glbert
i kind of want to play Re8. - Silkthewanderer
Kjars line might suffice for a draw I think - Silkthewanderer
So far I found nothing better for Black than Re8 Ke8 Qg8 Kd7 Re1 Be5 - Silkthewanderer
Originally I discarded the line because of Re1 Kd6 but then c4 is trouble - glbert
it's not even close to working though. - Kjar
Be5 de fe Qg7+ and a perpetual on 7th and 8th ranks? Cause Kd6 Qxe5+ and white wins? - mkubecek
(17...gxf6) Qxe5+? - mkubecek
(17...gxf6) From where? - jcarmody
(18.Re8+) Yay! - Silkthewanderer
Oh, Black can also play Re1 Kd6 and that is also a perpetual - Kjar
Re8+ Kxe8 Qg8+ Kd7 Re1 Be5 de fe Qg7+ Kd8 Qg8+ Kd7 Qg7+ =? - Silkthewanderer
Re1 Kd6 c4 c5 d5 Be5 wouldn't win - mkubecek
(18.Re8+) Ah, I finally understood what does "de fe" mean. :-) - Kjar
It is simple for black here in the way that now you just go in and see how it works out... - Silkthewanderer
There is also Re8 Ke8 Qg8 Kd7 Qf7 and that is also looking like a perpetual very soon - Kjar
Doesn't seem like there are any viable alternative to KxR - mkubecek
(18.Re8+) I don't know... - Silkthewanderer
Kg7 Qg8 Kh6 looks super sketchy but I don't see an immediate refutation - mkubecek
(18.Re8+) Kg7 Qg8+ Kh6and what then? - mkubecek
(18.Re8+) ...or Rg8+ Kh6 - Silkthewanderer
Ah wait, Black isn't up any material yet so that makes no sense - mkubecek
(18.Re8+) Maybe ... Kh6 Rae1 with threat of R1e7 - Kjar
Yeah, then black king is on h6, material is equal, g3 catches the bishop, the c8 bishop never develops due to a rook hanging - Kjar
Not taking the rook almost certainly loses ans taking the rook maybe loses and probably draws and unlikely but who knows wins - Kjar
Just based on this risk assessment, I guess, you take - glbert
black can't seriously contemplate Kg7, right? - Silkthewanderer
Especially since you might need to think later on - glbert
so i guess rolihlahla is from the school of calculating everything before moving. - Silkthewanderer
Most likely this ends in a perpetual somewhere but there are some things White could try first and you might need these minutes later - glbert
weak - Silkthewanderer
Wait... dumb question. Is ...c6 actually winning? - mkubecek
(20.Re1) How about Qd8 now? Qe6+ Kc7 - Kjar
Seeing Be5 is also not super straightforward too btw - Kjar
Qd6 or Qd8 I guess loses to Qf7+ and Re6 or Re8 then - mkubecek
(20.Re1) OK, Qxh7+ Kd6 Qxh2+ I guess - Silkthewanderer
Qd8 Qf7 Kd6 Re8 was the one that scared me - Kjar
Qf8+ Kd5 Qc5# - mkubecek
(20...Kd6) Qxf7? - mkubecek
(20...Kd6) no - jcarmody
gg - mkubecek
Sigh... - Saturnitus
Gg - Rolihlahla
well played - Rolihlahla
You attacked well - glbert
Re8+ did actually work? - glbert
hard to believe. - mkubecek
Hm... SF actually prefers 20... Qd8, have to look into that. - glbert
well played, Rolihlahla. - mkubecek
...and Qxh7+ Kd6 Qxh2+ as the continuation. At least something I got right. :-) - Kjar
oh painful lines... - glbert
i found nothing after Re8+ Kxe8 Qg8+ Ke7 for some reason. - mkubecek
I was thinking about Ke7 at that moment but black played Kd7 too soon so I didn't get anywhere. - Rolihlahla
i considered Kg7 but that looked worse - and I think i was losing my Q in that line - Rolihlahla
Ke7 allowed Re1+ - Rolihlahla
i never would have come up with Qd8 .... - Rolihlahla
to keep the game going ..... - Rolihlahla
sorry guys - i'm in bad form lately .... just have to play through it i guess - mkubecek
Been there... we all have... - glbert
this still makes no sense on principle to me. - glbert
i saw that this was difficult to defend, but white actually being slightly better according to sf? smh. - glbert
18.Re8+ is supposedly the only move that keeps a positive eval.
