Spectator room
- rojazu
(21) ...Rfb8 Qh6 Qb6 b4 c5 Bd3 cxb4 and its anyones game - michielvdg
ok hang on... Rb8 c3 Bf5 Bd3 Qxa3 bxa3 Rb1 Bbx1 Rxb1 checkmate... - michielvdg
Qxc3 instead of Qxa3 is even better because you dont have Bxf5 - rojazu
loving the queen sacrifice - michielvdg
c3 maybe Qxa3 immediately even, bxa3 Rb1 Kc2 Bf5 Bd3 R8b2 checkmate - rojazu
usually that bishop and rook mate motif occurs in the corner, but here it would be one file tranlated - Pope123
(21...Rfb8) that would be the second Queen sacrifice in 2 rounds - rojazu
but i would play Qh6 as white here - michielvdg
One thing to be cautious about is actually c3 Qxa3 Rd8+, so maybe it doesnt work just yet sadly - rojazu
stops the b-rook in its tracks - Enoren_Firecross
doesnt Qa6 allow Qxa3 for Black though? And if White takes Black Queen, Rook B1 is mate... I think - Enoren_Firecross
Oh wait Qh6 Qxa3 and White plays Rd1+, forget what i just said - michielvdg
Sadly c4 stops all these ideas, they were fun to look at though - greysensei
Rb3 looks nice - michielvdg
Or does it? 22...Bf5 Bd3 Qc3 and g4 Rb3 followed by Qc3 might just do the trick - HeartCooksBrain
(22) getting dicey for my king... I played Rd2 intending c3, but that allows Qxa3 in some lines after Rxb2 - michielvdg
Bf5 g4 Rb3 Qh6 Qc3 and white has Kd1 maybe, and all my pieces are hanging - greysensei
They can only take one at a time! - HeartCooksBrain
(22) b4 loses - HeartCooksBrain
(22) I need to get my bishop into the game - michielvdg
I'm calculating so many queen sacs here but none seem to work D: - rojazu
(22) isnt Bf5 inviting g4? - Enoren_Firecross
Wouldn't c5 have allow the bishop to come in and check the king potentially? - rojazu
so either its a retreat (which means that 22 was a bad move) or go all in with Rb3 - michielvdg
Rb3 Qh6 Qc3 Kd1 Rxb2, this might be crazy but I don't know how I'll get mated yet after Qxh7 - rojazu
Rb3 Qh6 Rxb2 Rxb2 Qxa3 is pinning, is it winning? - rojazu
Qc3 isnt a move due to bxc3 - rojazu
oh actually it is. there is a mate - rojazu
this is getting spicy. maybe worth watch party - Enoren_Firecross
Im going to put this game in a study - Enoren_Firecross
The tactics are incredible - michielvdg
So my intial line went Qh6 Qc3 Kd1 Qxd2+ but after Kxd2 the king can escape to e1 and f2-g1 so I need something else there - michielvdg
Maybe 24.Qh6 Qc3 Kd1 Qxf3+ but then Be2 is annoying - alex11star
rc3 jusr wins doesn't it? - alex11star
nvm - HeartCooksBrain
(24) have to start moving faster... and it's about to get more complicated, takes me longer to calculate defense - HeartCooksBrain
(24) Rc3+ or Qc3+ and I can't take with the pawn - rojazu
(24) does Rxa3 work? - alex11star
i assume all the qxh7 lines have been calculated - HeartCooksBrain
(24) but I think I can just slide to d1 then e1 - alex11star
looks scary - HeartCooksBrain
(24) I really wanted Rd8+ to work forcing the rook trade, but Black could just play Kf7 rather than taking - rojazu
Rxa3 gxf5 loses i think to Ra1+ Kd2 Rxb2+! Kxb2 (Kd3 Qxd2+) Qa3+ and Rc1# - rojazu
but then black has to calculate Qxh7 - HeartCooksBrain
(24) I think if he can't mate me now, he's probably busted - michielvdg
(24) No way back now... - rojazu
Rxa3 Qxh7+ Kf8 Qh8+ Ke7 Rh7+ looks terminal as the white rook is on the efile - alex11star
bc2? - alex11star
bc2 rc2 rd8 ke2 qd3 kf2 i guess - alex11star
or sorry qxc2 obviously - rojazu
(25) ...Qxf3+ Be2 Qe4 Qxh7+ Kf8 Qh8+ Kf7 Rh7+ Ke6 there isnt another check - rojazu
aghh there would be gxf5+. this is too much - rojazu
anyway better to get the bishop off being en prise - michielvdg
(25) With the bishop gone from f5 I can now hide my king on e6 I think - alex11star
black has at minimum a draw and probably more - HeartCooksBrain
(25) bishop is poison - alex11star
ke2 qxf3 so you have to play ke1 - HeartCooksBrain
(25) wait maybe not - rojazu
Rxc2 Rd8+ Rd2 Rxd2 Qxd2 Qxf3 - michielvdg
My calculations are something like 26.Ke1 Rxb2 Qxh7 Kf8 Qh8 Kf7 Rh7 Ke6 and I think everything is safe - alex11star
yeh - alex11star
bc2 guards g6 - alex11star
amazing stuff - HeartCooksBrain
(28) my rook... - michielvdg
(28) Looks like we're going for a queen endgame, perhaps no spectacular finish today - alex11star
how do you evaluate this - alex11star
black does have the passed e-pawn - michielvdg
Oh no, I overlooked 30.Bg2 completely - alex11star
D: - rojazu
(29) that is very unfortunate. the bishop covers all the squares - alex11star
well, you start with rxb2, you have to - alex11star
you can't defend c6, is the issue - michielvdg
I suppose I can try to hold this to a draw - HeartCooksBrain
(33) thought I lost my rook for a second, glad for the Bg2 resource bc I didn't have time to calculate to see that - HeartCooksBrain
(33) now just need to avoid any tricks - HeartCooksBrain
(34) lol.. I was just saying... - HeartCooksBrain
(35) I think I'm losing a pawn here - or repetition - HeartCooksBrain
(35) maybe I can shuffle and then intercept with the queen on the 2nd rank defending the bishop - rojazu
queen endings are all about forks and skewers - alex11star
black does have qb6 if ka5 - alex11star
so you're forced to go back and then qf2 once on the second rank - alex11star
qd6 is the wrong track - rojazu
(38) there is a 650 point difference in blitz ratings so as long as black can keep asking questions then time may tell here - michielvdg
Hard to make progress for white I think, the king is very exposed - michielvdg
I think 39...Qxg4 would be a mistake, I don't want to give up the c6 pawn - rojazu
(39) maybe c5 then? think the queen is perfect on the 4th rank - michielvdg
I did miss that after 40...Qe6 Qb3 I dont have Qxg4 - michielvdg
(47) Guess I'll try to rush my e pawn down the board - Enoren_Firecross
wait, can't michiel just push his e-pawn? - HeartCooksBrain
(53) don't see a choice... shouldn't have grabbed that a-pawn so soon - Groger12
53.g5 - Qh6 - Bb3 was maybe a better try - michielvdg
(53) I think the checks are easier if I play e2 Bxe2 Qxe2 Kxc6, but it does give up an additional pawn - michielvdg
Still such a hard endgame - michielvdg
I think white needs to play 55.Qc3+ to bring the queen back into the game - michielvdg
(56) I think I'm okay now - rojazu
queen endings - Enoren_Firecross
isn't their perpetual checks? - rojazu
perp or give up pawn - rojazu
(60) white was winning but i think letting the e-pawn go equalised for black. should be draw now - rojazu
is Qe4+ a 3 fold already? - rojazu
nope... - Enoren_Firecross
im still calculating but im not finding a way for White to avoid a draw by perpetual checks - HeartCooksBrain
(62) take the pawn! =p - michielvdg
I hope I didn't miscalculate this but it should be drawn - HeartCooksBrain
(64) hmm still a draw I think - michielvdg
(65) a4 loses, moving the king to the d file or gxh5 are drawn if I'm correct - rojazu
this is like the Reti study - rojazu
Kd4 both attacks and defends - Groger12
Yeah, reminded me of the same. Still a draw though - rojazu
(65) this game has had everything. - Groger12
g5 a try now? - rojazu
opening theory, a novelty (perhaps), sharp middlegame, gritty defence, technical endings - Enoren_Firecross
im recording every thing in a study, it's amazing - rojazu
are you part of the 4545 league? - Enoren_Firecross
I absolutely loved the opening. No what is this league? - Mennonite
Lichess4545.com - HeartCooksBrain
(67) oh maybe that was a blunder - rojazu
https://www.lichess4545.com/team4545/ - Groger12
oh this is bad for white - michielvdg
This is obviously wishful thinking but maybe I'm the one with winning chances now - Groger12
ok white queens with the g pawn in time - natakial2
really? - rojazu
this is where we are hoping the time is going to work out in our favour - Groger12
68.a4 Kc6 69.Ke5 Kb6 70. Kf6 h4 71.Kxg6 h3 72.Kf7 - rojazu
i would probably keep the opposition, but if the black king keeps marching west, then that drags white king out of the square - rojazu
(70) Kf6?? h4! - Enoren_Firecross
i Just checked it up, it seems fun but i don't really have time to play long games with my studies, i was working while watching this game. - Groger12
Kf6?? h4 Kxg6 h3 Kf7 g6 h2 g7 - rojazu
(74) attempting to drag the white king out of the square, so will gain ground. but it wont work on the next iteration - Enoren_Firecross
wait.... - Groger12
Kf6 now maybe last chance - rojazu
now black has the opposition - HeartCooksBrain
(76) knight pawn could be a draw if I can remember it... I made this so much harder for myself lol. Should have traded off - Enoren_Firecross
No, either White's king let's Black kings capture his last pawn, or he let's the h pawn promote - Groger12
no lol what did I calculate - rojazu
this is known position - Mennonite
I think they were thinking of bishops pawn - michielvdg
I think white should have gone for trying to keep my king out, I wasnt quite sure how to break through yet - rojazu
(81) i love the position where you let white promote but its mate next move - HeartCooksBrain
(81) been a while since I reviewed my 50 endgames you should know - rojazu
the king needs to be closer though like g6 - michielvdg
Q vs g pawn should be winning however - Groger12
yeah this is won for black - rojazu
the bishops pawn is interesting - the black king is right on the boundary of the drawing zone - natakial2
bishop pawns are drawn, not knight pawns - Pope123
(81...Qh5+) maybe the idea is Kh9 - rojazu
that would be some divine intervention - Mennonite
That's a good move - rojazu
i always like to think out of the box - Ki9 - Pope123
(81...Qh5+) All you need to do is believe - HeartCooksBrain
(81) g8 looks natural but I have this vague memory of this ending and there was some trick I'm trying to remember - rojazu
all black needs to do is pin/check and use any spare moves to bring the king - rojazu
eventually you let white promote but its mate next move - Pope123
(81...Qh5+) Ive seen this iin Silman's endgame book - Pope123
(81...Qh5+) Rip Silman btw - Enoren_Firecross
Btw are you guys part of the league you told me about? - rojazu
you need to force the white king in front of the pawn (g8 here) - rojazu
that gives you the move you need to bring the king - Mennonite
Yes I think most of the people here are - Mennonite
There's also a lonewolf league with shorter time controls - HeartCooksBrain
(82) I think I need to keep his king at bay and force continual checks - Mennonite
Once the queen is on the sixth rank it should be clear - Enoren_Firecross
Ok. Seems interesting. Can't really organise myself to play long games but i'll definitly watch this league games while doing maths. - Pope123
(85...Qf6+) extra pressure for my game tomorrow :/ This is why you don't schedule for sundays - Enoren_Firecross
At what time will you play? I would definitly want to watch it! - Pope123
(85...Qf6+) also for mass ofcourse - Pope123
(86.Kg8) good question lol - HeartCooksBrain
(86) maybe just the corner - Pope123
(86...kd6) 17:30 utc - Mennonite
If you click on the TV page on that website it tells you when all upcoming games are - HeartCooksBrain
(89) oops h7 was it I think - Pope123
gg - jcarmody
gg - rojazu
gg - Mennonite
Gg - Enoren_Firecross
ok, thanks for information, i'll try to go watch your guys game - Enoren_Firecross
GG! - Mennonite
Game of the week candidate - HeartCooksBrain
painful - Enoren_Firecross
Good Night btw - michielvdg
phew - Pope123
you too - michielvdg
that was a wild game - HeartCooksBrain
oh ok... there was no holding with just the pawn - HeartCooksBrain
I couldn't remember my queen pawn endings - Pope123
I saved most of the chat I think - Leverkuhn
it's an interesting pawn endgame after g5 actually - Leverkuhn
White can draw, but only by maintaining distant opposition - michielvdg
Yeah it's quite cool - michielvdg
Very hard - Enoren_Firecross
After saving the game in a study, I can say , congrats to Michiel for the comeback, you got a tough position for the middle game - Leverkuhn
the exact endgame is covered in the Dvoretsky Endgame Manual - michielvdg
I should really buy that some time - Leverkuhn
I remember finding it quite bizarre that White could hold - Leverkuhn
when I first saw it - Enoren_Firecross
Good night every one, gotta go to bed. - michielvdg
Yeah me too, thanks for watching this one drag out lol - rojazu
depends on your level. dvoretsky is pretty heavy - rojazu
i think for most Silman, or Jesus is fine. - rojazu
for practical endings, Sheresevkys book is very good
