Spectator room
- Haspelknecht
go Silk! - gavalanche20
Go Silk! - BarbarAusBielefeld
Go silk! - JokicInator15
Go Shampan! - fake_switch
(9.bxc4) goooooooo silk!! - wizzywop
dxc seems odd, but i know nothing - alex11star
e5 is good, black can push - Zubenelgenubi
Go Silk! - cowtone
go shampanjasosialisti! - Silkthewanderer
Sorry about lack of chattiness. Am feeling quite uncreative today. - Silkthewanderer
Fortunately for me, Black is setting up some interesting imbalances all by himself. They might even be a bit better for me. - Silkthewanderer
The Black pieces are kinda stumbling over themselves. The e5 break is not quite as strong if you don't get the square for a piece. - Silkthewanderer
This is nothing super serious yet but I think I am a lot more comfortable here. - Silkthewanderer
I think 11. ...e4 followed by Re8, Nf8, Bf5 would have been perfectly fine for Black - mysonnevercallme
(13.O-O) Go Silk! - mysonnevercallme
(13.O-O) fun fact: did you guys know that there was a famous road named "silk road" which was like 6-7 km long back when there was no cars! - mysonnevercallme
(13.O-O) it'd connect EU to Asia - Silkthewanderer
I'm actually not calculating anything yet and conserving energy. My next move is most likely Re1 anyway and I have no idea what the Black - Silkthewanderer
...plan is. Only thinking about which tea to get next. - alex11star
i will judge you for poor tea choices - mysonnevercallme
(13...a5) i'd go for chamomile. super safe choice - gavalanche20
(14...Qd8) Yea Silk Road was also a dark web black market haha - gavalanche20
(14...Qd8) My vote would be matcha rn - mqll
Green tea. - alex11star
c5 i feel like you can just close the center - alex11star
which is why this system has to be dubious in general - mysonnevercallme
(17...Bf8) so i'm making kiwi, apple and orange peel tea. i hope it turns out fine - mysonnevercallme
(18.Neg5) cool move - mysonnevercallme
(18...h6) h6 we have Bh7 - mysonnevercallme
(18...h6) Bh7 let's gooooooooo - gavalanche20
(19.Bh7+) oooof this is forced too right - Silkthewanderer
Cheap Tricks sometimes work - gavalanche20
ggs - mysonnevercallme
post match interview: what tea you decided to get next? - jcarmody
asking the tough questions ^^^^ - Silkthewanderer
Full disclosure, I had no good idea how to build the attack after that. I thought I'd start with the cheapo and take it from there - Silkthewanderer
Spiced Rooibos - Shampanjasosialisti
ggs - Shampanjasosialisti
I didn't even see that attack coming or how to defend if g6 just Nxh7 works - mysonnevercallme
gg - Shampanjasosialisti
Probably should have played Re8 instead of exd4 - Silkthewanderer
g6 Nxh7 is something I hadn't found a way to make work - Silkthewanderer
Definitely. exd4 was a big concession - Shampanjasosialisti
I wasn't prepared for c4 - Silkthewanderer
I thought e4 was your idea and that would have been some double edged fun with mutual chances - Shampanjasosialisti
I only checked 1.e4 1. d4 and 1. Nf3 - Shampanjasosialisti
yeah e4 was idea but I think Nd2 and White is just better - Shampanjasosialisti
I couldn't find a good plan. Was battling between h6 b5 a6-b5 ideas etc - Silkthewanderer
Positionally, yes. But it will take a lot of time until I get to prove it - Silkthewanderer
Yeah, the problem is you don't have any good pawn breaks on the queenside - Shampanjasosialisti
12. b5 - Shampanjasosialisti
I was thinking about it - Silkthewanderer
There isn't much theory in this c4 Nf3 e3 line but generally the consensus is Black should avoid dxc - Shampanjasosialisti
But then I wasn't sure about your passed pawn - Silkthewanderer
Did you ever have b5 without loss of a pawn? - Shampanjasosialisti
Yeah, I play more g6 setups and I'm less familiar with these types of positions. I play some semi-slav but this was just a bit different - Shampanjasosialisti
I think 12.. b5 - Shampanjasosialisti
Yes - Shampanjasosialisti
cxb5 cxb5 and you can't take with Knight - Silkthewanderer
12. ...b5 Nxb5 Re8 Nc3 Bb4 being the big idea? - Shampanjasosialisti
Or I guess you can take it but Bb4+ Nc3 Nd5 and Black has incentive - Silkthewanderer
(With cxb cxb of course) - Shampanjasosialisti
I think Bb4 first - Shampanjasosialisti
To maintain pin - Shampanjasosialisti
re8 allows Nxd6 - Silkthewanderer
Ah, got it. I actually didn't consider that mive - Silkthewanderer
Probably I just castle and try to maintain a small edge with piece play - Silkthewanderer
But it is very possible that 12. b5 is the concrete solution - Shampanjasosialisti
Yeah probably it's still better - Shampanjasosialisti
But then at least I have bxc4 Bxc4 and Nb6 - Shampanjasosialisti
Maybe Rfe1 Qc7 and bb3 - Shampanjasosialisti
And it's a game - Silkthewanderer
I mean, there is almost no way I am risking something there unless I do something reckless - Shampanjasosialisti
Yeah, of course there's a positional advantage but then Black position would still be defendable - Shampanjasosialisti
I think - Silkthewanderer
Most likely the position clarifies within 10-15 moves with Black needing to be a tiny bit more accurate - Shampanjasosialisti
But you played well I just cracked under pressure and didn't find any correct ideas - Silkthewanderer
Your position did look annoying to play, I was happy with my side of things;) - Silkthewanderer
Anyway, thanks for the game and good luck for the season - Silkthewanderer
Ah, fun tidbit: my idea for you to play 11. ...e4 12. Nd2 Rfe8 doesn'work but only very specifically because of g4. Not sure if I would have - Silkthewanderer
...dared to go for that - Zubenelgenubi
