Lichess Game of the Month August - Contest • page 9/14 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

https://lichess.org/qsrnhAqi/black#14

After the attack 6.Bb4+ which pulled white's knight to d2, the bishop returns to a tactical/strategic position at d6! aiming (fatally) at the king's square: H2. After white's aggressive b4! black counters with a tactically advantageous Ng5!?

E4 is played.

Nxd4! unveils white's advantage has crumbled; the engine says (at Depth 34) "almost exactly even" now (but not tactically stable!)...

Nxd4? Bxh2! (the only move that gives us the advantage!) Kh1 (the only possible move!) Be5 (only move that keeps our advantage!) N2f3 (good move but still quite worse....) dxe4 (only move that keeps our advantage!) Bb5+ (counterplay -> white is able to make an attack on black's king.... What to do? What is the only move that keeps black's advantage?) Kf8! (best move!) Kg1 (white looks up at the threatening h5 pawn and moves "out of harms attack") but now exf3! and we are actually winning!! After this move black may indeed have completely lost its winning advantage by losing its advisor in trading for the opponent's on d8 (queen [d8] took queen [d1]; 17.Qxd1).?? However, we regained our advantage just in time for the battle's entering time trouble: Almost fatal for both but eventually the war was won by the side which had the tactical-king-side-siege-tower flank advance!!! (My time was almost completely out!) Good game. Thank you!!

All Glory be to our Lord and King and your (!!!!!!!) and our Redeemer!!! Dieu soit Loué

The Game begins with the Queen's Pawn Game: Krause Variation which (according to the statistics provided by Lichess for Bullet through Correspondence for all up to the highest rating) is the answer (to the Zukertort [literally "sugar cake" in German!] Variation) with the highest win rate for black, which is basically a Queen's Gambit played by black against a sparsely developed white. https://lichess.org/qsrnhAqi/black#14 After the attack 6.Bb4+ which pulled white's knight to d2, the bishop returns to a tactical/strategic position at d6! aiming (fatally) at the king's square: H2.

Whoops! I created a separate post for my contest entry, but I realize it needs to be done here instead. Well, here's the game:

People who have studied the Sveshnikov might find the first 24 moves kinda boring. The engine eval is +0.2. Nothing suggests that, 6 moves and zero obvious blunders later, White's position will be resignable even by team arena standards.

a great game I played where my opponent stepped into a tricky Queen Sac line from my repertoire vs the Nimzowitsch Defense.
