Spectator room
- wizzywop
im not a french player, but have seen this gambit. - Silkthewanderer
(7) Go Wizzy - wizzywop
never played it though - Silkthewanderer
(7) Intuitively, I'd say this gambit is less effective when you have not played Qb6 yet - Silkthewanderer
(7) But IANAFP either so take that with a grain of salt - Silkthewanderer
(8) I think it is pretty safe to grab c3 - Silkthewanderer
(9) Aaaand once again I am undermining the choices of my teammates unwillingly - Silkthewanderer
(9) I just thought "oh how nice this position is with the queen safely back away from any tempo gains - Silkthewanderer
(9) Ng6 invites h4. Not sure I understand what that knight is doing there - Silkthewanderer
(13) 12. Nbd2 was some nice timing. Exactly when Black can't castle quickly you offer a better version of dxc3 - Silkthewanderer
(13) I really thought 13. ...dxc3 would have been the correct timing though - Silkthewanderer
(13) Black made quite some positional concessions and generally I prefer suffering a lot for a pawn over suffering a bit for nothing. - Silkthewanderer
(14) White at this stage can just retake and play this slowly - Silkthewanderer
(14) Oookay, I thought White would prefer Nfxd4 to keep c5 covered by the Nb3 - Silkthewanderer
(14) With 14. Nbxd4 I think Bc5 Be3 a5 is an option - Silkthewanderer
(14) Besides, Nbxd4 also makes Ng5 more effective because a trade is "threatened" - Silkthewanderer
(15) Now I think 15. ...Bc5 is not as effective anymore. Is Bg5 the plan? - wizzywop
ok, i guess i don't know how en passant works - falstan
(18) lol - wizzywop
extremely resignable, but will keep going - Silkthewanderer
(26) At this point you may as well give the queen and hope for a bit of chaos - Silkthewanderer
(27) Uh. Rc7 Ra7 and where is the win supposed to be? - Silkthewanderer
(27) I guess White can take on e7 and still be much better - Silkthewanderer
(27) Ah... or is the idea to not even allow Qxc7 when Rc7 and Rac1 come? - falstan
(29) White isn't going for Rxa7 Kxa7 Rc7+ Qxc7 dxc7? - Silkthewanderer
(29) White is now threatening Nc6+ - Silkthewanderer
(29) Nc6 Bxc6 Qxc6 and mate on c8 incoming - Silkthewanderer
(29) Bxd6 is a good idea, so would be Bh4. Both fail though - Silkthewanderer
(30) Bxd6 exd6 Bxa4 connects rooks but then Nc6 Bxc6 Qxc6 - Silkthewanderer
(30) and after Rxc7 dxc7 both Qxc7 Qe8 and Rxc7 Qxb6 win for White - Silkthewanderer
(30) Only hope for us is that White will freak out and play Rc8 for absolutely no reason - falstan
(30) (30) I can calculate one other line that wins for black: 31. resigns - Silkthewanderer
(32) White might even go Qxb6 before dxc7 - not sure if that makes a difference - Silkthewanderer
(32) Probably it is a tiny bit cleaner in securing immediate knockout - Silkthewanderer
(33) Qxb6 Kc8 Qxa6 Kb8 Ra1 is a very funny line but by far not the only one - falstan
(33) Wizzy has a fighting spirit, I like it! - Silkthewanderer
(33) I think it is good manners and fighting spirit both to let an opponent play out a forced winning line. - Silkthewanderer
(34) Do we get the pretty Ra1 finish? - falstan
(34) That would be a satisfying conclusion to this - falstan
(36) Rxc7 I was not expecting, does that give black some counterplay or is the mate still forced? - Silkthewanderer
(37) The endgame must be winning at least - Silkthewanderer
(37) White made their own task needlessly drawn out, though. I don't see the immediate win anymore - Silkthewanderer
(37) Maybe 38. Bb6 - Silkthewanderer
(37) Wait, that makes no sense any is even dangerous after Nd7 - Silkthewanderer
(37) I think you just take the queens off and win the endgame as White - Silkthewanderer
(37) Plant the bishop on e5 and walk the king over to pick up h6 - Silkthewanderer
(39) Oookay, that would not have been my choice - Silkthewanderer
(40) Yes you win a pawn but you are not forcing the queens off anymore - Silkthewanderer
(40) Welp. Now Qc4 is very winning - falstan
(40) Guess snagging the pawn worked out - Silkthewanderer
(40) 40. ...Qb7 was a way to draw things out a tiny bit - Silkthewanderer
(40) Well... there were like 12 winning lines really, this was only a matter if you could prolong the game for maybe 5-10 more moves - Lou-E
