Spectator room
- Joonaf
Go Ciraid! - Ciraid
based on my book now white needs to decide if he is gonna play important or not - Ciraid
na3 white doesn’t want to play with input good to know - bufferunderrun
I forgot how this line goes x) - bufferunderrun
Bf4 could be an option, so is dxc5 - Ciraid
let’s see dxc5 Bxc5 says theory - bufferunderrun
I have some wage recollection that the knight goes back to d4, but it's quite possible I'm mixing up the lines - bufferunderrun
Bf4 Nd5 seems alright for black, so I guess it has to be dxc5 - bufferunderrun
Bg5 perhaps or b4, I maybe want to keep the dark-squared bishop, could be handy later on against those pawns on the Q-side - Ciraid
bf4 was much scarier - bufferunderrun
the question is, do I castle long or just play Rd1 - bufferunderrun
or just b4, a4 hmmm... - bufferunderrun
Bh4 maybe an option, but then a6 - bufferunderrun
I'll drop the knight to a3, I guess - Ciraid
I don’t understand this move, is the d6 square that white wants? - Ciraid
that allows to activate the other rook - bufferunderrun
oh, a5 is the thing, ouch - bufferunderrun
on a positive side, the knight on b5 is better now - lorb
At this rate the clock is gonna become a factor - bufferunderrun
I need to look this up, probably will forget it again though... - Ciraid
a small strategic victory, white ended up with isolating and lost one trump card, the qs majority. Now ra8 swings in - Ciraid
rxa5 presses a4, mb5 and X-ray bg5 - Ciraid
now I have to solve the LSB issue - bufferunderrun
maybe c4 was better - Ciraid
the omens have fulfilled. This is the sixth game against this team featuring a pair. Let’s see if the discussion yesterday is of any valu - Ciraid
nf3 is restricted - lorb
the return of the bishop pair - basilcandle
Could black have tried maneuvering Ke6 instead of Kc5-Kb4 - rio2018
What is white's plan after Bc5? - matthewhuber
Go Ciraid! - lorb
black has got to get the bishop on the h6-c1 diagonal and threaten to take the knight on d2 distracting the king from protecting c4? - rio2018
Well its almost zugzwang - rio2018
I think Kb3 and white should be almost done - matthewhuber
Kb3 Nd2+ - rio2018
Kb2 - matthewhuber
I dont see how black makes progress that way - rio2018
Ohh sry forgot about c5 - rio2018
I thougth i had Nf1 Kc1-d1-e1-f2xg2 but there is Ne3 c5 - matthewhuber
I think e5 takes takes black takes the queenside pawns - matthewhuber
ooo wow this is a nice plan too - matthewhuber
Black should try to trade the minor pieces now - matthewhuber
I think - lorb
didn't white just have nxb and c5? - matthewhuber
Yeah that’s scary - matthewhuber
Nice catch - basilcandle
Wish we repeated somewhere for the draw, im scared for black - matthewhuber
No risk for black here - matthewhuber
King is blocked out and our weak pawn is always protected by our king or bishop - basilcandle
I thought there was some Nd5-Ne7 stuff - basilcandle
Maybe too reckless though - basilcandle
gg! - bufferunderrun
good luck in the rest of the season - Ciraid
Nd5 I wanted to play e4 - Joonaf
gg! - bufferunderrun
ouch, missed Nxc3 - Ciraid
Nxc3? - Ciraid
Oh yes - Ciraid
That one - bufferunderrun
yeah, 42.Nxc3 with c5
