Spectator room
- Leverkuhn
checking the database reveals that, remarkably, 3.g4 is AlexGaul's consistent repertoire - Leverkuhn
I have never seen this move - leartt
This is the first time ever I face something like this - rojazu
i suppose the sicilian player just wants to get the kingside attack started assap - rojazu
and also hinders blacks kings knight development - rojazu
shirov vibes - leartt
I have no idea how I'm supposed to play this - leartt
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity - rojazu
i would imagine the same way one would play any cramped position. get your king safe, exchange pieces, exploit holes from overextension - Leverkuhn
I thought maybe playing ...e6 or ...e5 and Nge7-g6 could be a reasonable reaction to 3.g4 - Leverkuhn
I kinda like White's position now - rojazu
(9) playing g6 and 0-0 just gives white a hook to attack - leartt
I didn't expect that at all - Leverkuhn
I somewhat expected 12.exf5 followed by h5 in case of 12...gxf5 or using the d5 square in case of ...exf5 - Leverkuhn
now White probably threatens 15.hxg6 hxg6 16.exf5, as 16...gxf5 17.Qh5 or 17.g6 ideas look very dangerous - Leverkuhn
but if Black now kicks White's knight out of c3, maybe he can be happy playing ...exf5 later - Leverkuhn
as the knight doesn't hop to d5 - leartt
I have no idea what the point of that move is - rojazu
(17) i think that black is wrestling back the initiative here - leartt
I've spent so much more time and somehow I'm a pawn down - Leverkuhn
This Qd2, Nd1, c3 was a nice reorganization from White - Leverkuhn
arguing that Black can't resolve the central tension favorably - FunnyLikeAClown
Why not qa3? - FunnyLikeAClown
Instead of 22. Qc2 - Leverkuhn
just wanted to centralize I guess - Leverkuhn
24...Qa8 might force 25.Nf2 back, no? - Leverkuhn
no, Bxc5 - Leverkuhn
now 25.e5 and Nf6 should give White a decisive advantage - Leverkuhn
he baited leartt into thinking he was a wild attacker, but he just wanted to play for space and slowly squeeze - Leverkuhn
he's developed some serious counterplay here - Leverkuhn
why is White playing instantly? - Leverkuhn
32...Rxg2 and 32...d4 both look dangerous - Leverkuhn
I think 32...d4 just won a piece (rather than two pieces for a rook) - Leverkuhn
mate in a few with 39...Qh1+ - Leverkuhn
wait, no - Leverkuhn
I'm blind - Leverkuhn
maybe 39...h4!? - Leverkuhn
ahh there it is - leartt
I have shown very poor understanding of this structure - leartt
I thought for so much longer than my opponent and still ended up in a worse position
