Spectator room
- gavalanche20
(9...d4) But of course the Opens are fun too - GHOSTJW
I'm not sure about the objective evaluation of the position but I usually don't mind anti-sicilians too much - Feet_Barbie
(10.c4) not so sure about d4 mmh - Feet_Barbie
(10.c4) gives me nd2 e4 f6 - GHOSTJW
10.c4 I'm quite pleased that he doesn't even try go for Na3-c4-d6 - Feet_Barbie
(10.c4) every little detail will be important - snowDeath
super positional game - marty001
Go Ghost! - snowDeath
as mentioned White has access to some super nice squares e4, d6, f6 and Black has a bit more space in centre - snowDeath
not clear how make use of this space in centre though - snowDeath
looks like black was to make some noise in the Q-side - GHOSTJW
if 11.a4 I get the b4 square - snowDeath
otherwise not clear what the plan should be. e5 can never be a target as is defended super easily - snowDeath
Nd2, b5, b3 and then what? - snowDeath
b4, a5, a4 takes way too many tempi for Black - Feet_Barbie
(11.Bf4) his counterplay on the queenside is scary but didnt want to waste tempi there - Feet_Barbie
(11.Bf4) a4 is very weakening maybe b3 is fine , a3 also - Jox997
(11.Bf4) I'm so happy that I don't have to play either side of this position :) - Feet_Barbie
(11.Bf4) he s delaying castling which is also interesting i shouldnt commit 100% - snowDeath
wonder why Bf4 first tbh? I was thinking that in some variations when Knight is on e4, Bishop could be jumping to a3 to pressure c5 further - Feet_Barbie
(11.Bf4) definitely a game where i will have a lot to learn from - Feet_Barbie
(11.Bf4) i hope we both dont just blunder smth could be cool to play slightly improving moves for a while i m not even sure the eval here - Feet_Barbie
(11...h5) but of course as soon as i type that h5 - GHOSTJW
11...h5 center is closed I'm not in a hurry to castle, secure f5 for my knight and keep kingside expansion threats of my own - snowDeath
wow - h5 is such an interesting concept! - snowDeath
Nf5 and then h4 is threatened. and Black is playing on both sides of the board - snowDeath
Nf5, Ne4 and Qe7? - GHOSTJW
12.Nd2 - e4 then d6 or e6 is a serious threat - snowDeath
that is a lot cleaner by Black. puts a tactical stop to any immediate Ne4 plans - GHOSTJW
I plan to meet Ne4 tactically with Nxe5 but not sure it works because of 14.Nxe5 Bxe5 15.Nf6+ - Jox997
(12...Qc7) @snowDeath it's like you can read his mind :) - snowDeath
kind of - thought the plan was Bxe5. not Nxe5. I might have missed something - snowDeath
of course. Bxe5 fails to Nxe5 - Jox997
(12...Qc7) Ghost said 13.Ne4 Nxe5 14.Nxe5 Bxe5 - Jox997
(12...Qc7) Oh, nevermind - Feet_Barbie
(13.Qe2) waasted too much time couldnt find the answer on the pawn sac - Feet_Barbie
(13.Qe2) it should work right - Feet_Barbie
(13.Qe2) why not - snowDeath
was about to say White spent a fair bit of time here - snowDeath
not sure what the next moves for White are tbh - snowDeath
does Qe2, change anything re. the tactics around Ne4? - snowDeath
don't see how - snowDeath
i.e. what is stopping Black from continuing with Nf5, h4 plan - Feet_Barbie
(13.Qe2) all the pieces on the board ahah - Jox997
(13.Qe2) Two hours of chess and they didn't even capture anything :) - Jox997
(13.Qe2) Oh, 1 hour actually, I mixed it up with the starting time of my game :) - Jox997
(13.Qe2) snow I wasn't sure about Ne4 Ne5. Does that even work for Black? - snowDeath
kind of assumed it was ok but haven't gone all the way to the end. - snowDeath
let's see - snowDeath
13. Ne4 Nxe5 14. Nxe5 Bxe5 15. Nf6+ wins - snowDeath
so this doesnt work - snowDeath
13. Ne4 Bxe5 14. Nxe5 Nxe5 15. Nf6+ same issue - Jox997
(14.Ne4) And Barbie goes for it - snowDeath
trusted Ghost that it works but the more I look at it - Jox997
(14.Ne4) Yeah, but that's what Ghost said. I'm not sure that it works because of Nf6+ - snowDeath
the thing is I am not sure it needs to work - snowDeath
let the Knight land on e6 - snowDeath
with the centre locked down as it is, it's not like it is leading to mate anyway - snowDeath
calm Kf8? - snowDeath
not sure how I feel about the Ne6+ Nxf5 transformation for Black though - Jox997
(14.Ne4) When you said Ne6, you mean Nd6? - snowDeath
yeah of course - sorry - Jox997
(14.Ne4) I don't know - Jox997
(14...b6) I don't have necessary understand to play these positions well :) - GHOSTJW
just defending the pawn, I think I can tolerate a knight on f6 - snowDeath
now talk about tactical complications. Bg2 x-raying the long diagonal - Jox997
(14...b6) If I had to guess I would assume that White has a big advantage according to the engine - snowDeath
ghost got to the same conclusion. allow Knight on d6 or f6 - Jox997
(14...b6) You two are connected telepathically :) - snowDeath
:D - Jox997
(14...b6) I'll be back in a bit - snowDeath
immediate Bh3? I was thinking about it in some variations after Nd6+, Nxd6, dxe6 to stop Black from playing f6, e5 - snowDeath
v. counter-intuitive to move Bishop away from killer h1-a8 diagonal - snowDeath
was having some ideas with Ng5 - snowDeath
to replace the Ne4 with the other N from g5 - Feet_Barbie
(15.Bh3) we decided not to take any pieces cos its rude - snowDeath
he did it! exchanged his monster of a bishop for the f5 Knight. is this tied to the positional transformation I was contemplating before? - snowDeath
I mean Nd6 looks nice and mighty but how does White improve. - snowDeath
this need to be tied with a tactical skirmish against the Black King. otherwise I feel that Black should be fine in the long term - MilsBees
Barbie is never boring - snowDeath
hahhahah - there is the tactical move I was asking for - snowDeath
this looks like a free pawn for White - snowDeath
really wp - snowDeath
this is crushing actually - snowDeath
wow - GHOSTJW
20... Qxd7 my opponent definitely has the upper hand, let's see if he can find something concrete - snowDeath
does White really need something concrete here really? Black got a bunch of weaknesses and lacks coordination - snowDeath
and has a weak king - snowDeath
Black rook on h8 is really stranded there - GHOSTJW
21...f6 for Kf7 and Re8 - snowDeath
it might not have been as easy actually. was thinking Ng5, instead of Qd2 to stop f6 and play Qf3 - snowDeath
but maybe then black would have gone Bh6 to trade? not sure - Jox997
(25.Qxe2) It looks like I'm right on time :) - MilsBees
Trade the majors and go Nh4 maybe? - snowDeath
everything is exchanged on e8 and Nh4 - snowDeath
Ne7 - MilsBees
Bd6 then - snowDeath
Bd6, Bh6 - snowDeath
b3 should be enough for white I feel - MilsBees
Bd6 Bh6 wouldn't work I think? Bxe7 Kx and Nxf5+ - snowDeath
nice nice - you are right - Jox997
(28.Nh4) Nice try though :) - snowDeath
Ne5, here then? - snowDeath
and play pawn down - snowDeath
but looks kinda bad. KvB with all pawns on dark squares - Jox997
(28.Nh4) I was about to say that - snowDeath
and yet..... - snowDeath
maybe Ghost is my long-lost brother :D - GHOSTJW
33...Kc6 I'm a pawn down but I'll try to activate my king - GHOSTJW
37. there must be a few ways for white to win here but you have to be accurate - fulmarsky
(37...bxc4) tense!! - Jox997
(38...Ka5) Imagine how interesting this would be if the score was 3.5-3.5 :) - GHOSTJW
42... it's completely winning for white now after Ke2 - ItsASecret2000
(43...Bf8) Go Barbie! - lmart
Was there sometimg wrong to play Bf8 before to defend the c5 pawn? - fulmarsky
(44...Kxd3) Go barbie! it's tense, very tension, complex, and low time... - lmart
At move 41 maybe - fulmarsky
(44...Kxd3) here are some chess game cookies for energy through this tension... - ItsASecret2000
(44...Kxd3) not so much difference i guess - Jox997
(45.c5) I'm assuming that Black thought that ...Bf8 is winning the pawn back and missed Ne6? - Jox997
(45.c5) I don't know - ItsASecret2000
(45.c5) if Nxf8 Kc2 and black wins - Feet_Barbie
(45.c5) !!??!!?? - ItsASecret2000
(45.c5) also bc d1=Q+, so no double check on e3 with the knight - fulmarsky
(45.c5) i feel this anguish, i do, these endgames, they are just an ouch tension scenario - ItsASecret2000
(45.c5) but white should be able to win imo, with precise play - ItsASecret2000
(45...Kc3) maybe Ke2? - ItsASecret2000
(45...Kc3) bc the knight is so slow in these edngames, he needs to stop that pawn - RBorja1980
Let's go Barbie! - ItsASecret2000
(46.c6) there is d3 Ng5-e4+ if needed - fulmarsky
(46.c6) its unforunate that the black pawn would promote on d1 with a check, this is complex stuff, tempos... ouch.... - ItsASecret2000
(46.c6) Bd6 c7 Bxc Nxc d3 Nd5-e3 and white wins - ItsASecret2000
(47.c7) little time but easy to see - ItsASecret2000
(47.c7) letsgo - fulmarsky
(49...Kd4) chess is toughy, it's just a toughy - ItsASecret2000
(49...Kd4) i should come back the next season, he's surpassing my classical rating omg - ItsASecret2000
(50...h4) maybe Nd1 - ItsASecret2000
(51.h3) so the king can move - fulmarsky
(51...d2) who can work this stuff out, it's just anguish, complicated anguish...... - Feet_Barbie
ggs mammamia - fulmarsky
gg both, i only watched the latter part of the chess game, that was tense, very tense - Feet_Barbie
sweating - fulmarsky
i could sense the anguish, yes, low on time in such endgames... constantly tense.... - RBorja1980
Gg! - Jox997
Good game guys - Feet_Barbie
yeah ne4 was working i ll look into it without engine more - ItsASecret2000
gg - Feet_Barbie
endgames like this are sweaty i didnt want to risk nxf8 low on time - Feet_Barbie
a lot of stuff to analyse here i think its hard to play as black if you push d4 and we close the center - Feet_Barbie
