Sicilian Defense: Classical Variation
  1. RBorja1980 Let’s go Gary!
  2. RBorja1980 bzzzzz
  3. MilsBees Buzzzz Gary Buzzzzz
  4. Feet_Barbie (5...cxd4) looks resignable
  5. Feet_Barbie (6.Nxd4) buzzzz
  6. MilsBees Hahaha
  7. MilsBees Bc4 is not something I've seen before
  8. MilsBees But I also don't see the classical Sicilian too often
  9. Feet_Barbie (6...Bd7) its the patzers sicilian
  10. MilsBees I only know the Richter Rauzer a bit
  11. Feet_Barbie (6...Bd7) they all play it under like 1000 cc
  12. RBorja1980 Wow
  13. RBorja1980 its Garys pet line
  14. MilsBees I guess if sort of avoids the full open
  15. Feet_Barbie (6...Bd7) yeah interesting ahha
  16. Feet_Barbie (6...Bd7) i dont see how he can exchange pieces here
  17. alex11star my team never watch me
  18. Feet_Barbie (8...a6) we all here for u alex
  19. alex11star Be7 is probably generally worth going for, the system with g5 Nh5 seems ok
  20. gavalanche20 (9.f3) Heyyyy who's calling this the patzer Sicilian :'(
  21. alex11star b5 is possible, but b4 probably isn't so useful here and b5 is generally weakening
  22. RBorja1980 That’s why Barbie will never be interviewed
  23. alex11star i have to play Be7 regardless given the open file, it's just deciding between that and h5 and h5 here looks too weakenin
  24. Feet_Barbie (9.f3) ahahah
  25. alex11star of course Ne5 is also reasonable
  26. Feet_Barbie (9.f3) maybe its more the e4 nf3 bc4 one
  27. alex11star Bb3 b5 f4 Neg4
  28. MilsBees Now this is just an English attack but with a bishop on c4
  29. alex11star there's a chance by not playing b5 i invite a4, not sure what i want yet
  30. gary0892 Hi everyone
  31. gary0892 Buzz
  32. alex11star Rc8 Nc4 in general is probably worth it
  33. gary0892 I don't think this is Alex's usual Sicilian
  34. gary0892 Did spend more time on 1. e5 though,
  35. GHOSTJW Go Alex!
  36. alex11star i suppose Bg5 works out for tactical reasons (Bxf6 Bxf6 Qxd6) so it's worth dealing with that first
  37. alex11star obviously the sides castling happens on determines the entire future course of the game
  38. alex11star feels like Qa5 blunts a few threats
  39. gary0892 I feel like e6 is normally not right if already played d6
  40. gary0892 But he played it quickly so a touch concerned I'm wrong
  41. alex11star it's between Qa5 and Rc8, O-O is too dangerous in this position
  42. alex11star h6 f4 doesn't look great
  43. alex11star i might like to castle queenside though
  44. alex11star after Qa5 the critical move is g4
  45. gavalanche20 (11.O-O-O) I thought White usually puts the queen on e2 in the Sozin but I can't remember why
  46. alex11star maybe i claim Qa5 g4 b5 g5 Nh5 h4 b4 Nce2 Ba4 is fine
  47. alex11star one general thing with these types of positions is black probably wants to trade at least one bishop, alleviate tension on multiple squar
  48. alex11star i don't immediately see the point of that
  49. alex11star continuing with b5 seems sound
  50. alex11star of course now that g4 is rendered impossible castling kside also seems to make sense
  51. alex11star black can claim their attack comes a little quicker, maybe
  52. alex11star b5 f4 Nc4
  53. alex11star f4 might come, but that also can't be prevented regardless
  54. alex11star unless you play something like Bg1 (possibly Qd4) you lose a bishop
  55. alex11star but if you were paying attention a few moves ago the idea was b4 Ba4
  56. alex11star d5 at some point is theoretically possible
  57. alex11star another thing is if the ne2 doesn't move b4 forces Nb1
  58. alex11star okay
  59. alex11star Bg5 seems to preclude kingside castling
  60. alex11star b4 would force Nb1 anyway, because Bxf6 bxc3
  61. alex11star a position like b4 Nb1 O-O-O seems fine
  62. Feet_Barbie (13.Bg5) why are they both scared of just throwing the pawns
  63. alex11star possible i can castle kingside anyway, but i don't really like it
  64. alex11star O-O Bxf6 gxf6 Ng3-h5 for example
  65. alex11star i don't know that b4 is strictly necessary but it basically comes down to that or o-o-o
  66. alex11star i missed b4 Bxf6 anyway
  67. alex11star here i do think it's worth investing thought into just Ba4 and maybe i can play Rd8 and not have to worry as much about Bxf6
  68. alex11star i don't want to get too down on time
  69. alex11star one argument behind playing Ba4 is you keep the rook on a8 if you want to play a5-a4
  70. alex11star and of course i might still want to castle there
  71. alex11star is the queen trapped after Rd8 Bxf6 Bxf6 Qxd6 bishop somewhere?
  72. alex11star looks it
  73. alex11star this still looks like the wrong move, i should have played Ba4
  74. alex11star yeah, definitely a mistake
  75. alex11star the right move here should be f4
  76. alex11star then if f4 Nc6 Bxf6 my trap doesn't work
  77. alex11star another reason Rd8 is bad, it may have wanted to be on the c-file
  78. gary0892 aha it's not a free pawn. Crafty stuff
  79. Feet_Barbie (20...Qc7) gary this position is not about taking the b pawn
  80. Feet_Barbie (20...Qc7) thats very dangerous
  81. Feet_Barbie (20...Qc7) even if it didnt lose the queen
  82. Feet_Barbie (21.h5) h5 good before g4 always the way so the knight cant go on h5 stopping the attack
  83. Feet_Barbie (21...d5) g4 dxe4 g5 an idea to consider
  84. Feet_Barbie (22...g6) not this way you stop the attack
  85. Feet_Barbie (22...g6) unless
  86. Feet_Barbie (22...g6) f4 f5
  87. Feet_Barbie (22...g6) but still a pawn on h6 only shields black
  88. Feet_Barbie (22...g6) idk i m just sidewatching while i pack but its rarely the way g4 g5 with tempo and g6
  89. alex11star i want to keep Nc4 available but this now gets tactical in a way black may not like
  90. alex11star eg exd5 g3 to set up Bf4/Re1 (which doesn't work immediately due to Nd3)
  91. alex11star there is Nxd5 Ne4 but i feel Nxe3 Qxe3 Nc4 seems ok
  92. alex11star exd5 should be preferred anyway, if g3 i can just move the queen
  93. alex11star or knight
  94. alex11star the static factors start to work out for white in an attack, this is not so trivial
  95. alex11star i might like to play Nh5 but of course it invites the sac
  96. alex11star which could be fine for me
  97. alex11star black may not have enough pieces especially if white loses h6
  98. alex11star nh5 rxh5 gxh5 bxe7 qxe7 rh1 qg5
  99. DuncanClotfelter oh man
  100. alex11star no, this isn't worth it, Qe3 is too dangerous
  101. DuncanClotfelter good luck gary crazy game
  102. alex11star maybe not
  103. alex11star however i also don't like Nh5 g4
  104. alex11star take qxc4 qe3 bc5
  105. DuncanClotfelter that line would be a mistake right because of Qe5?
  106. DuncanClotfelter but just Rfe8 instead of Bc5
  107. DuncanClotfelter yeah, or Nd5 :v
  108. DuncanClotfelter rip
  109. alex11star qd2 bxg5 qxg5 qf4 qxf4 nxf4 rhg1 rxd4
  110. DuncanClotfelter or maybe not rip if he's not following up Qd2 with c3
  111. alex11star but i have to at least look at c3, basic overloading
  112. alex11star because i don't see why that doesn't work
  113. alex11star the endgame is a forced pawn win, but this is obviously better
  114. alex11star and potentially even mate
  115. alex11star just doing some sanity checking first
  116. Feet_Barbie (27...c3) yeah idk if nd6 was a last resource
  117. alex11star nxc3 may also work but i don't like acquiescing to that
  118. Feet_Barbie (27...c3) before qd2
  119. DuncanClotfelter Nd6?
  120. Feet_Barbie (27...c3) ne6
  121. Feet_Barbie (27...c3) but no yeah
  122. Feet_Barbie (27...c3) just one last try but doesnt seem to work
  123. Feet_Barbie (27...c3) just nxe3 bxg5 massive problems ahha
  124. alex11star qa5 would be better because qb6 nb3
  125. DuncanClotfelter yeah :<
  126. alex11star or even ba3
  127. alex11star no not ba3 never mind
  128. DuncanClotfelter Nxc4 fixing the pawn structure was played so quickly, even if it didn't create more problems it was a spooky move to play
  129. alex11star one way to do it is nf4 rxd4 qb6+
  130. Feet_Barbie (30.Kb1) yeah i would have played it very differently for both sides like focused on the pawnstorm
  131. Feet_Barbie (30.Kb1) instead they kinda fought it out in the center of the board
  132. alex11star nf4 qe4 is slightly less clear, maybe Ne3
  133. Feet_Barbie (30.Kb1) before alex wanted 0-0-0 that didnt seem convincing but also i dont like gary s h6 i think g4 g5 g6 has to be the plan
  134. Feet_Barbie (30...Ne3) you need to break the pawns not shield them
  135. Feet_Barbie (30...Ne3) or even f4 f5
  136. Feet_Barbie (30...Ne3) then it depends when it works or not i wasnt calculating mucho
  137. RBorja1980 Gg
  138. gavalanche20 (33.Kc1) Yeah checking back in and h6 g6 hurt more than helped i'd say
  139. DuncanClotfelter gg
  140. gavalanche20 All hail the patzer Sicilian haha
  141. RBorja1980 Hahahaha
