Spectator room
- sussasun
go silk! - sussasun
i thought queenside castle may be better - sussasun
but maybe c3 qc2 is the paln - Silkthewanderer
6. Nf3 has gone out of fashion, modern theory claims that the knight belongs to g3. I am claiming something else - sussasun
oh thats why - Silkthewanderer
The practical challenge for Black is that the usual automoves h5-h4 and Nd7-f8 are not effective here. Play becomes more concrete. - sussasun
but the knight has no squareexcept h4 - sussasun
also dsb on d6 cant bechallenged easily - sussasun
queen exchange is fine for black as they need only one rook inthe end game - Silkthewanderer
10. ...Nd7 is theory. This line allows me to get closer to the endgame where the structure is very bad for Black. - Silkthewanderer
Or Black avoids the trade and gifts me the e file. Also nice. - mkubecek
(12.Qe2) How about Qe6? White could still trade the queens but black would improve the pawn structure. - sussasun
white isnt forced to take on e6.moving the c1 bishp guards back rank - mkubecek
(12...Qf8) Sure... but then white wouldn't get the e-file for free. - sussasun
now black plays re8 after nd7 i guess - mkubecek
(12...Qf8) Likely... but then then the queen on f8 will be even more passive than now. - sussasun
bc7 and qd6 is a plan - wizzywop
Go silk! - sussasun
nice to be on a dark square - mkubecek
(12...Qf8) Nd7 is a must anyway. But that's not a particularly good place either. - sussasun
i like b5 here instead - sussasun
to get nb6 and nd5 - sussasun
also g4 qe7? - Silkthewanderer
It is entirely possible that this already is winning. I am struggling to see how Black untangles - sussasun
on rd8 there is Bb4 - sussasun
also bf5 isthere - mkubecek
(15...Rd8) Bb4 is not that bad on its own, black can still recapture on f8 with the knight. But the Re7 after that will be a problem. - sussasun
Bb4 stops bd6 - sussasun
also qxd7 and qxc7 is a threat - Silkthewanderer
There is one trick for Black, namely Ne5 - Silkthewanderer
The idea being Qxf8 Kxf8 dxe5 Bxf3... but I have an intermediary Bb4+ and keep the piece - Silkthewanderer
LOL, actually forgot that here Bd6 works. Well at least keeps Black alive for now - Silkthewanderer
Qxd7 Rxd7 Bxd7 was the option I would have loved to make work but after Be7 Bb4 Bxb4 the endgame isn't any better for me - sussasun
oh c5? is not possible - sussasun
why is bxc5 bad?or is this better? - Silkthewanderer
Turns out an even better Queen sac came along - sussasun
bxf5? - Silkthewanderer
Unless I have again overlooked a simple defense but then I deserve the L - Silkthewanderer
Seeing the idea and not playing it because of ghosts would be unforgivable - AACtrl
nice - sussasun
gg - Silkthewanderer
cxd6 was a very pleasing end. I was already raking myself over the coals why I went for Bf5 so hastily - sussasun
engine shows Bxc5 loses to qf4 fork later - sussasun
nicely calculated silk - IchmagdasSpiel
hmmm Silk did you write in this chat during the game? - Silkthewanderer
My confidence was not that great after the Bf5 Bd6 miss earlier - Silkthewanderer
Turns out I am just unable to calculate with more than 10 minutes - IchmagdasSpiel
I joined right now and wonder about all your text here to be honest.. - Silkthewanderer
Yes. Players can send to spectators chat. All it takes is the /w prefix - Silkthewanderer
Players still don't see any messages until after the game - Silkthewanderer
It is quite fun and often humbling because some of the ideas I paste during the game turn out to be completely off :D - sussasun
16.Bb4 wasnt winning either - IchmagdasSpiel
I think it's not that far away then from having a look in an opening book e.g. ... get me right: You played well and deserved the victory - IchmagdasSpiel
nevertheless I think it's strange - IchmagdasSpiel
cu - Silkthewanderer
Let's take that last point to Slack - mkubecek
It's write only - you can send messages but you cannot see what others write. - IchmagdasSpiel
thanks for info mkubecek - mkubecek
(Reportedly... I play in zen mode so I don't see either chat anyway.) - mkubecek
(...until the game is finished.) - IchmagdasSpiel
g2g, bye all - mkubecek
bye - Silkthewanderer
@sussa, 16. Bb4 would have been the positionally cleaner move and I didn't evaluate it because I was narrow inded on one trick - Silkthewanderer
That was my one grievance with myself rather than an objective error
