French Defense: Tarrasch Variation
  1. gavalanche20 (2.d4) Hey Mennonite
  2. gavalanche20 (2.d4) The French saga continues
  3. gavalanche20 (3...Nc6) I've been trying the French a fair bit recently, still haven't decided how I feel about it as a backup to the Sicilian
  4. gavalanche20 (4.c3) Ok c3 e5!? has a bit of a funny name
  5. gavalanche20 (4...e5) The thunderbunny!
  6. alexkoj Go Leo!
  7. gavalanche20 (4...e5) Hi alex and Elysian
  8. gavalanche20 (4...e5) Interestingly both B1 and B2 games are going on right now which will decide whether we win or draw our match
  9. gavalanche20 (4...e5) Hey jc
  10. jcarmody (4...e5) go get it, gab
  11. jcarmody (4...e5) *v*
  12. gavalanche20 (7.Bc4) Iirc White usually throws in Bc4 tempo here
  13. gavalanche20 (7.Bc4) oh, right on cue
  14. gavalanche20 (7...Qh5) Be6!? is a bit next move candidate, accepting Be6 fe6 to get developed quickly
  15. gavalanche20 (7...Qh5) Hey Wickid!
  16. WickidDoc hey gav, good luck
  17. gavalanche20 (7...Qh5) Wickid, are you by chance following NHL playoffs this year, gotta any spare goalies by any chance XD
  18. Mennonite This is the year for the Hurricanes!
  19. gavalanche20 (8.Qe2+) Qe2's a bit annoying, I'll give you that
  20. WickidDoc not following too closely, all i know is toronto will lose to boston like they always do
  21. gavalanche20 (9.O-O) Ok how badly do I still want to long caastle
  22. gavalanche20 (9.O-O) I guess the main thing about Nf6 intending to castle short is I have to evaluate how much I care about Bb5
  23. gavalanche20 (9.O-O) Preventing castles immediately because of Bc6 and Qe7
  24. gavalanche20 (9.O-O) Other candidate is Bg4 but if simply h3 I'm not prepared to give up the bishop pair so early
  25. gavalanche20 (9.O-O) Nf6 Bb5 Be6 I think I can more than live with Bc6 bc6
  26. gavalanche20 (9...Nf6) Re1 I probably just castle short
  27. gavalanche20 (9...Nf6) Will need to find a plan for that bishop though
  28. gavalanche20 (9...Nf6) Never really considered taking on c3 tbh, instinctinvely it didn't feel right but I see now there may have been Ba3 stuff if
  29. gavalanche20 (9...Nf6) I had done it
  30. gavalanche20 (9...Nf6) If cd4 next move I initially thought d5 is a threat but I'm miscounting
  31. nic_west Lets go Leo!
  32. gavalanche20 (9...Nf6) Hey nic
  33. nic_west hey gav!
  34. nic_west 8...Be7 Nxd4 Qxe2 Nxe2 is there something better for black?
  35. gavalanche20 (10...O-O) Hypothetically with a bishop on d6, Nxd4 would be a pretty big threat
  36. gavalanche20 (11.b3) I think I'm going to play Bd6 anyway, Bb2 the Nd4 tactic no longer works but at minimum Nc6 is free to move and could maybe jump
  37. gavalanche20 (11.b3) From b4 to d5 to blockade the IQP
  38. gavalanche20 (11.b3) Don't have a plan for Bc8 yet, Bg4 could be an idea if for whatever reason Nf3 and Nd2 disconnect
  39. gavalanche20 (11...Bd6) But I still wouldn't say no if Nd4 gets allowed
  40. gavalanche20 (12.Bb2) Ncb4 looks very logical here
  41. gavalanche20 (12.Bb2) I was considering putting Nfd5 immediately because of Nf4 ideas also
  42. gavalanche20 (12...Nb4) Tactical note to self, if Bc4 ever disappeared one day Bh2 is a move
  43. nic_west I was looking at 12.Ne5 before but it didn't work because the knight takes back at the end of the line
  44. nic_west but now
  45. gavalanche20 (12...Nb4) So like for example a3 Nbd5 Bd5 Nd5 Ne4 Bh2!
  46. gavalanche20 (12...Nb4) It's not impossible White straight up yeets the pawn to open the DSB to be honest
  47. nic_west 12...Nb4 Ne5 Qxe2 Bxe2 Re8?
  48. nic_west makes me wonder as well why not Re8 on the last move?
  49. nic_west 13.Ne4 Re8 Nxf6+ gxf6 Qxe8+
  50. WickidDoc 13...Nxe4 14.Qxe4 Bf5 15.Qxb7?? Rfb8 traps the queen
  51. nic_west ha nice find
  52. gavalanche20 (13.Ne4) Ne4 Qe4 Bf5 Qb7 Rb8
  53. nic_west but Qxa7 no @wickiddoc?
  54. nic_west oh rfb8
  55. WickidDoc yee
  56. WickidDoc although i think Rab8 still traps it after you cycle back
  57. gavalanche20 (13.Ne4) Ne4 Qe4 Bf5 Qh4 instead and maybe there's Qh4 Nh4 with ideas of sinking a knight into d3 to grab the DSB
  58. nic_west gav might find that, he;s looking at the line
  59. gavalanche20 (13.Ne4) Dang it I thought the Bh2 tactic worked after all for a second
  60. WickidDoc the Nxe4 Qxe4 Bf5 line seems most natural
  61. gavalanche20 (13.Ne4) But Bh2 Nh2 Qe2 Be2 Ne4 doesn't work because White just takes on f6 with check anywhere in between
  62. WickidDoc if black trades off pieces they're gonna be a little better it seems
  63. nic_west can you play Qh4 to force the queens off?
  64. gavalanche20 (14.Qxe4) I don't have an answer to Bf5 Qh4 that I truly love
  65. gavalanche20 (14.Qxe4) Bg4 h3 defends
  66. gavalanche20 (14.Qxe4) Or do I simply treade everything and play against the structure there?
  67. gavalanche20 (14.Qxe4) Bg4 h3 Re8 would have been nice but simply xg4
  68. gavalanche20 (14.Qxe4) Is there really no way to keep the attack going after Bf5 Qh4?
  69. gavalanche20 (14...Bg4) ah well
  70. gavalanche20 (14...Bg4) I guess if h3 now I can stil go back to f5 if I really wanted to
  71. nic_west was there a cheaky bishop sac there?
  72. WickidDoc on h3?
  73. gavalanche20 (17.gxf3) Now to find an escape plan for the horsey
  74. nic_west 15.h3 Bxh3 gxh3 Qxh3?
  75. nic_west anything down that line?
  76. gavalanche20 (17.gxf3) c6 Ba3 Rd8 should be okay
  77. WickidDoc maybe in that h3 Bxh3 gxh3 Qxh3 line white can stick the knight on e5 to block the DSB
  78. WickidDoc and f6 cant be played immediately because f7 is pinned?
  79. gavalanche20 (17...c6) Elias Lindholm you beautiful man
  80. nic_west I was thinking if black is just looking to force a draw for the match
  81. WickidDoc i dunno, i'd probably play it in a blitz game but im skeptical lol
  82. gavalanche20 (17...c6) You too, Brock
  83. nic_west in the Bxh3 line I'm struggling to find white's next move after Qxh3. Re8 looks really strong
  84. gavalanche20 (19...Rfe8) Re1 good move, now the bishop can hide on f1 and be annoying
  85. nic_west 20.Re4 Nf6 R-somewhere it probably should have gone originally?
  86. gavalanche20 (20.Re4) Nf4 I'm thinking
  87. gavalanche20 (21.h4) If h4 Nh3+ anyway and this might be at least perp?
  88. gavalanche20 (21.h4) Nh3 Kg2 I go back, if Kf1 I was thinking b5
  89. nic_west 20...Nf4 Bc1 Nh3 Kg3 how is the knight getting out?
  90. gavalanche20 (22.Kg2) Wonder how the Q game is going
  91. WickidDoc gg
  92. nic_west hmm maybe not. Nh3 Kg3 Nf4 Bxf4 Rxe4 fxe4
  93. nic_west gg guys
  94. gavalanche20 Wow I never had much
  95. LeoYee ggs
  96. LeoYee Was surprised you chose the draw considering you had the edge both on the board and the clock
  97. gavalanche20 Yeah I knew I had to be better but I was thinking match situation
  98. LeoYee Ah that's fair I didn't really consider that. Guess i did technically "need" a win
