StrokerAce(1914) whispers: i got to this exact same spot a few days ago in a std game and messed up with Nf1 and lost a pawn}
14.a3 {(1:50)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: after the game i looked up the line... so we'll see from here}
14...Bd7 {(2:56)} 15.d5 {(2:41)} Na5 {(0:14)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: ok trying to remember if it's b4 now or nf1...

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: anyone for fischer random?}
16.Nf1 {(1:54)} Rfc8 {(8:26)} 17.Ne3 {(2:44)} g6 {(3:03)} 18.Bd3 {(0:57)} Nh5 {(1:28)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: well the ne3 has to move or get roasted by nf4.

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: have a feeling he's going to win my bd3 for his Na5 so hope to win his in return}
19.Ng4 {(3:05)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: not much else to do but i think this holds}
19...Nc4 {(2:36)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: b3 really weakens c3 but maybe i can play rc1 at some point?

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: or b3 na5 b4 nc4 then bh6 ... rc1?

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: or rb1 and live with nc4}
20.Rb1 {(6:40)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: less commital}
20...Qd8 {(8:33)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: looks like a good move geting Q back to k-side.

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: Nc4 is nice but blocks entry for black too

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: guess he wants to trade the bishops then plant N on f4}
21.g3 {(4:44)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: normally dont like moves like g3 due to long term k-weaknesses, but...

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: enabels me to play b3 and bb2 or ideally use h-file in some lines

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: not exactly a tactical skirmish :-P}
21...Nf6 {(4:25)

AcuWill(1769) whispers: fun ruy game here

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: hmm have to move ng4 somewhere tha t prortects h3

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: or could get crazy with nh6+ kg7... need to omve other N to get Q into the game

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: safe/passive Nfh2, aggressive/unsound? Nh6+ kg7.. Ng5 (kxh6?? nf7+ )

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: screw it this is dull}
22.Nh6+ {(6:37)} Kg7 {(0:41)} 23.Ng5 {(0:03)} Be8 {(0:31)} 24.Qf3 {(0:23)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: kxh6 ne6+

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: hmm does the endgame favor anyone?}
28...Nb6 {(3:34)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: rc2 maybe?

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: hm, Qe3 attacks Nb6 and threatens Qh6+

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: hmm e3 is not defended... Qe3 now into h6.. attacks N too. me likes.}
29.Qe3 {(1:47)

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: he read my mind! :)

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: g pawn can be captured now

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: white probably likes hxg now, after Qh6+ Kg8 Ng5 plan Kg2 and Rh1, looks dangerous for black

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: yes but what else does black have here other than to pick up the pawn now?

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: he cant stop Qh6 check and he would than lose the pawn

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: I don't know; if that line is too dangerous he could play Rxc1 to avoid white's K side attack but that is a lot to give up

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: maybe i'm missing something but i don't see a good way to stop both threats other than exchange sac rxc1

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: after recapture hxg4 and exchange for a pawn but open h-file too}
29...hxg4 {(7:39)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: well Qh6+ kg8 ng5 mate threat bxg5 bxg5 can mate me stopped?

30.Qh6+ {(2:03)} Kg8 {(0:03)} 31.Ng5 {(0:09)

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: he has to capture the knight here

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: black seems to me will be able to hold here

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: dont know what the thought is about here

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: clock is definately a problem now

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: Bxg5 Bxg5 Q can't cover dark squares in time, i think

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: does Bxg5 Bxg5 f5 work?

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: Bxg5 Bxg5 push f pawn (say f5) and black covers the 7th rank in time, I think

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: I think so jordan

ReyFeroz(1872) whispers: hi}
31...Bf6 {(4:29)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: hmm

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: well Qh7+ kf8 and he runs

ReyFeroz(1872) whispers: hi

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: what about Qh7 + Kf8 Ne6+ fxe6 Bh6+ -- Bg7 Qh8 Ke7 Qxg7+ Kd8 Bg5+ Kc7 , maybe it is just a big trade

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: kg2.... bg7 Qh7+ kf8 Rh1 then what

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: i dunno

jordanvictor(1710) whispers: Kg2 or is that too passive?}
32.Kg2 {(5:53)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: what else}
32...Bg7 {(2:50)} 33.Qh7+ {(0:04)} Kf8 {(0:07)} 34.Rh1 {(0:02)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: nan how to kill that bg7?

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: hmm throw it away soi can play bh6?}
34...Qd8 {(2:14)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: N has no squares

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: Qh5, Nh7+, then Nf6+ or Bh6 depending on his K move -- maybe that is too slow

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: darn f6 pawn stops a nice fork

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: maybe Bxg4 to exchange Nd7 (I assume Black wants Nd7-f6)

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: oh, he is threatening Rxc1 and Qxg5, 2 pieces for R .. hm

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: let me get the pawn back and guard the N}
35.Qh4 {(3:35)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: and threaten Nh7+ but don't think it goes anywhere}
35...Bd7 {(1:42)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: wait maybe i can get rid of bg7 now

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: nh7+ k g8 bg5?

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: looks good nf6+ coming double defended}
36.Nh7+ {(2:01)} Kg8 {(0:04)} 37.Bg5 {(0:02)} Qc7 {(2:06)

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: nf6+ Bxf6?? bxf6 mate next but if Nf6+ kf8...

DarthDaver(2123) whispers: Bf6 Bxf6 Qxf6 idea Ng5 and Rh8

StrokerAce(1914) whispers: Nf6+ kf8 bh6 maybe}
38.Nf6+ {(6:37)} Kf8 {(0:21)} 39.Bh6 {(1:00)}
