Nimzo-Larsen Attack: Modern Variation
  1. glbert it's the only reasonable explanation for allowing this whole gx business.
  2. glbert tall pawn it is.
  3. funeralparade at least we're also stuck in an eternal pin :S
  4. gavalanche20 (15...Qf5) if b4 it may even be possible to sac the knight?
  5. gavalanche20 (15...Qf5) Nb4 ab4 Bb4 point being I take on d2 and win back f3.
  6. gavalanche20 (16.Rc1) Hm why wouldn't this be a free pawn on a3 though
  7. gavalanche20 (16.Rc1) what's the catch?
  8. Feet_Barbie (16.Rc1) nd8 e6 g5
  9. MrScribbles Maybe that you're gonna castle long and you're asking for trouble.
  10. glbert trouble is gavalanche's middle name.
  11. MrScribbles Gavalanche Trouble MapleLeaf
  12. jwwells42 hmm i missed that this was capturable
  13. Feet_Barbie (16...Bxa3) so nh4 ideas maybe?
  14. MrScribbles oopsies
  15. jwwells42 i had to go to the bathroom and didn't want to walk away since Qf5 came as I stood up
  16. jwwells42 should have suffered a bit longer rather than just give this pawn stupidly
  17. funeralparade otb habits
  18. jwwells42 and now Bb4 comes
  19. funeralparade the trick (otb) is to play the move and then stand up very quickly while turning away, so you don't have to see their move and can go to the
  20. funeralparade toilet
  21. MrScribbles I'm saving the chat
  22. glbert that's smart, i'll have to remember that.
  23. glbert the toilet trick. not the chat saving.
  24. jwwells42 now the thought loop about continued winless streak which also is not calculation
  25. Mennonite Why not just pull up the game on your phone? Not that I would have any experience there
  26. gavalanche20 (16...Bxa3) I guess Ra1 Bb4 there's c3 giving up a second pawn to save the knight
  27. funeralparade wells is not an early resigner but sadly this game is soo over
  28. gavalanche20 (16...Bxa3) But in that case I guess Bb2 would be a touch more accurate
  29. Feet_Barbie (16...Bxa3) nh4 would have been a nice last reaourse but now fails to ra1 bb4 nh4 bxd1 nxf5 cos there s bxd2
  30. MrScribbles Play 17. Ra3 and say you were just laying a trap to open lines.
  31. gavalanche20 (17.Qe2) Considered Bb4 for a split second too long, after c3 there's no more Bd2 or Bc1
  32. glbert just take on c1. you don't need a DSB, white does not have one either.
  33. gavalanche20 (18...O-O-O) it's not over, i've hate mate in two against this guy and still lost so cannot be complacent
  34. gavalanche20 (18...O-O-O) *I lost because I missed the mate in to of course :P
  35. gavalanche20 (18...O-O-O) Rh6-f6 looks like a good start to trying to get more?
  36. Feet_Barbie (19...Rh6) re1 nh4
  37. Feet_Barbie (19...Rh6) no
  38. Feet_Barbie (19...Rh6) ofc not but what can u do then
  39. Feet_Barbie (20.Nh4) i see
  40. Feet_Barbie (20.Nh4) maybe cxd5 intermezzo ideas
  41. jwwells42 just need Nh4 Be2 Nf5 Rf6 cd Rxd5 Rxc6 bc Ne7 pipedream to come true
  42. funeralparade you're still an exchange down in a completely lost position at the end of that line
  43. jwwells42 maybe Nh4 back to play for f3 left more to play for
  44. Feet_Barbie (22.cxd5) i mean this isnt too bad given how the game was going
  45. Inter-temporal (22.cxd5) chat passed its capacity already
  46. jwwells42 bahaha it's mate
  47. gavalanche20 (24...Kd7) I saw this but if you take Rd5 it's mate
  48. jwwells42 even my pipe dream is stupid and bad
  49. funeralparade maybe 23. e4 followed by d5 and g4
  50. gavalanche20 (28.g4) Ra2 Ke1 Ra1 Kf2 Rd1 what I was imagining
  51. jwwells42 should probably resign and get ready for tomorrow's work tbh
  52. jwwells42 team result is decided as is this game i have to imagine
  53. gavalanche20 (28...Ra2) Not so clear now that the king has g3 to run to
  54. Feet_Barbie (29.Ke1) can u just ra1 kf2 rd1 nc4 bxc4 bxc4 rd2 kg3 rxh2 kxh2 hxg4 fxg4 h5 h4 h3 h2 h1
  55. Feet_Barbie (29.Ke1) a5 a 4 a 4 a 2 a 1 sorry
  56. Feet_Barbie (29.Ke1) a5 a4 a3 a2 a1
  57. Feet_Barbie (29.Ke1) ok damn i really struggle to type
  58. fake_switch (30) ggs!
  59. funeralparade gg
  60. jwwells42 i totally missed that g5 was legal
  61. glbert good game
  62. gavalanche20 yeah too much tangle on the kside unfortunately
  63. funeralparade what was a3 for?
  64. jwwells42 i had a faint sense of castling into an attack but didn't consider it enough
  65. jwwells42 a3 was because i thought if 12.Nbd2 Bb4 there's no way to stop kside damage
  66. jwwells42 Nbd2 Bb4 c4 Bxd2 Qxd2 Bxf3
  67. jwwells42 and then with the g-file open f6 g5 steamroll
  68. jwwells42 obviously as the game showed the kside attack was coming anyway
  69. jwwells42 and some pieces traded eases the defensive task i guess
  70. jwwells42 but i think there is something not quite right with the thinking overall, idk
  71. jwwells42 winning one of the last eleven is not the brightest signal
  72. jwwells42 anyway it was a well executed attack
  73. jwwells42 & i love that you played directly into my "last ditch pipe dream" because you saw ahead that it was mate at the end
  74. jwwells42 the game i looked at beforehand didn't have 0-0 but it also had d5-d4 immediately
  75. gavalanche20 Oh yeah i was stuck there for a bit
  76. jwwells42 h5 h4 d4
  77. gavalanche20 It was between that or Rf5 dc6 and see if I can pick up that pawn after b6
  78. jwwells42 yeah both are still totally winning
  79. jwwells42 11.a3 is fine :<
  80. gavalanche20 Oh ngl not sure what I had after Bg3
  81. Inter-temporal SF's 12.c4 then trade pawns (and/or Nc3), but that appears to open up for Black's 2Bs. perhaps the 2Bs already have the lines they need
  82. gavalanche20 a3 preparing b4-b5 I assume?
  83. jwwells42 just stopping things comign to b4 there too
  84. jwwells42 just concretely it's ok a move earlier
  85. Inter-temporal how do we find 12.c4 there
  86. jwwells42 i still dunno what the difference is
  87. Feet_Barbie inter temporal and the c4 push ahah
  88. gavalanche20 Well I guess on 11 White hasn't castled yet
  89. Inter-temporal yeah appears to give Black something else to do (while his K is on e8)?
  90. Inter-temporal FB! it must be thematic... when in doubt, "have i played c4 yet?"
  91. Feet_Barbie ahah right yeah
  92. Feet_Barbie if you ve castled just play it
  93. jwwells42 but 11.0-0 Bg4 12.c4 dxc4 13.bxc4 g5 14.hxg5 h4 15.Bf4 is better for white
  94. Inter-temporal was c4 on ur radar during the game around then?
  95. jwwells42 it's a 2+ full pawns difference to include c4 dc bc
  96. jwwells42 oh yeah ofc it's the main break over there
  97. jwwells42 but if i'm dying on the kside i cant work out what diff it makes to include it before g5 rather than the same position after
  98. gavalanche20 Yeah I thought the same about c4
  99. jwwells42 one of those strong player things ig
  100. jwwells42 i can't work it out
  101. Inter-temporal wow. huge difference
  102. Inter-temporal c4 preceding g5 is something... concrete perhaps
  103. jwwells42 obviously i see that c4 is my main break but i thought stopping Bxd2 from happening had more of an impact than getting a positional plus in
  104. jwwells42 the center
  105. jwwells42 oh i see it
  106. gavalanche20 I guess it's not just the big center, once Black goes long White gets counterplay on the b-file so it's not just a one way attack
  107. jwwells42 it's more concrete because i could play c4 and open the file if that was all i needed
  108. Inter-temporal it's something
  109. jwwells42 12.c4 dxc4 13.bxc4 g5 14.hxg5 h4 15. 0-0-0 Nbd2 16. Rdg8 I have 17.d5 Nd8 18.Ne5!
  110. jwwells42 sry i wrote that wrong one sec
  111. jwwells42 15.Bf4 0-0-0
  112. jwwells42 12.c4 dxc4 13.bxc4 g5 14.hxg5 h4 15.Bf4 0-0-0 16.Nbd2 Rdg8 17.d5 Nd8 18.Ne5 if I have written a legal string of moves this time
  113. jwwells42 versus 12.a3 g5 13.hxg5 h4 14.Bf4 0-0-0 15.Nbd2 I have no freeing move and so black can f6 and take
  114. jwwells42 i.e. 16.Qc1 f6 17.c4 h3, that tempo turns out to be vital
  115. Inter-temporal it kinda follows the guideline about wing versus center
  116. gavalanche20 yeah
  117. jwwells42 idk that the existence of 17.d5 Nd8 18.Ne5 can be summarized as wing versus center
  118. jwwells42 but i guess yeah simply apply heuristic
  119. jwwells42 bc i'm certainly not calculating that
  120. Inter-temporal "kinda" = maybe not really. lol
  121. Inter-temporal just trying to figure out what would compel us to go with 12.c4 here
  122. Inter-temporal a mix of features (K in center, K-side attack) and calculation
  123. jwwells42 to be frank 12.c4 is simply above my paygrade and in analysis i would question 11.0-0
  124. Inter-temporal make sense
  125. Inter-temporal maybe Silk or Kjar could weigh in on it...
  126. jwwells42 clicking some GMVallejo games in the lidb and f3 Kf2 even is more sane
  127. jwwells42 but also black scores super well here and 3.c4 as i mentioned in the chat that has scrolled off is a saner approach
  128. jwwells42 but i recommend 3.e3 to my scholastic students who will never face the leela gambit so i wanted to play in that style
  129. jwwells42 (the scholastci students who wanted 1.b3--this isn't my blanket rec ftr)
  130. Inter-temporal success then for the opening. :)
  131. Inter-temporal did u see it comes again at move 16.c4?
  132. jwwells42 yeah gav had never played this (at least on this account)
  133. jwwells42 i knew he would be aware of the line due to our mutual discords
  134. jwwells42 yes but Rc1 hanging a3 is already not playing the game really
  135. jwwells42 i'm not surprised that it's the main break in the position for white
  136. gavalanche20 I've had it a few times yeah but they've all gone into that main trap with Nb4xd3
  137. jwwells42 really
  138. jwwells42 i guess the lidb isn't reliable anymore
  139. jwwells42 or student account maybe, i forgot to check that
  140. gavalanche20 oh yeah my bad it was on an alt
  141. jwwells42 is there a similar delay on 0-0 in the classical caro line with this h4 vs h5 business
  142. jwwells42 hmm it's h4 h6 i guess
  143. jwwells42 and with a horse in the way of the g-pawn
  144. jwwells42 price of a move/tempo is much lower clicking around with 0-0 skipped
  145. jwwells42 ..g5 is just so fast
  146. gavalanche20 Well with 0-0 skipped king safety is also not as big of an issue
  147. jwwells42 yeah
  148. gavalanche20 Anyways got to run but thanks for the game and good luck w the final round!
  149. jwwells42 thanks and gl likewise!
  150. Inter-temporal gg
