11.Qa4 (4:20)

StoneCastle(2006) whispers: terrible hotel connection today 12.Ne1 (2:20) Ne5 (1:13) 13.f4 (3:59) Ned7 (0:45) 14.f5 (4:41)
waxonwaxoff(1692) whispers: anyone likes black? 14...Ne5 (1:39)
OrganicChess(2025) whispers: black is a skill player 15.fxg6 (4:39) Nxg6 (1:52)
Koff(1962) whispers: interesting choice
Koff(1962) whispers: bg4!? 16.Rd1 (1:59)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: wasn't h4 good at this point? I don't see any immediate attacks on white king
stevelco(1753) whispers: Black might be thinking of Nd7-e5
waxonwaxoff(1692) whispers: and what about the bishop
Koff(1962) whispers: surprising ideas from both players :) 16...Bc8 (2:02)
stevelco(1753) whispers: Bishop?
waxonwaxoff(1692) whispers: not a problem now
stevelco(1753) whispers: :-) 17.Nd3 (1:04)
Koff(1962) whispers: so now w needs to relocate one queen and a knight
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: black is cramped 17...Nd7 (1:40) 18.Rc1 (0:35) Bd4+ (0:51)
StoneCastle(2006) whispers: placing rook where I meant to place it before (mouse slip)
caga(1530) whispers: they stink! 19.Kh1 (0:47) f6 (0:08)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: after due preparations, I think b4 pawn break is a strong one. 20.Bh6 (0:19) Rf7 (0:23)
waxonwaxoff(1692) whispers: Bg4 now
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: or bh5 21.Bh5 (1:24) Nde5 (1:55) 22.Nf4 (0:57) Bd7 (1:36) 23.Qc2 (0:07)
waxonwaxoff(1692) whispers: c4 hangs
Koff(1962) whispers: now we got the explanation for whites mysterious R-move
Koff(1962) whispers: i think Nxc4 Nxg6
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: Bg4!?
Koff(1962) whispers: feeling is that white will win an exchange soon - if likes
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: does e5 works on Nxc4?
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: i am too tired to count it 23...Be3 (4:37)
Koff(1962) whispers: Ne3 could have been a problem there 24.Nxg6 (0:29)
Twikki(2052) whispers: Ne6 looked interesting 24...hxg6 (0:36)
stevelco(1753) whispers: Bxh6 25.Bxe3 (0:11) gxh5 (0:06) 26.Ne2 (0:07)
CarlosKerber(1590) whispers: black has some fresh air now... hello everybody
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: Think there is no attack with N on e5. Black controlls all important squares and can think about attack now
stevelco(1753) whispers: hey Carlos
CarlosKerber(1590) whispers: Steve :) 26...b5 (1:53)
stevelco(1753) whispers: Carlos ... I saw your picture on cvleague ... Can I come to your house for barbeque?
CarlosKerber(1590) whispers: :D any time
stevelco(1753) whispers: :-) 27.b3 (1:50)
stevelco(1753) whispers: This position looks a lot better for Black than I expected a couple moves ago.
CarlosKerber(1590) whispers: sure
CarlosKerber(1590) whispers: seems white was patienceless
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: this is gonna be a draw. a op-colored bishops ending perhaps 27...Qf8 (1:23)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: if white could survive the kingside attack from semi-open g and h files 28.Qd2 (1:40) Rh7 (0:43) 29.Qa5 (0:53)
CarlosKerber(1590) whispers: Cinna :)
CarlosKerber(1590) whispers: misstell 29...b4 (3:32) 30.Ng3 (0:47)
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: Black is doing well :D
CarlosKerber(1590) whispers: stone walls in the stone castle game 30...h4 (3:00) 31.Nf5 (0:46) h3 (0:53) 32.g3 (0:04) Ng4 (0:44) 33.Bd2 (1:11)
Twikki(2052) whispers: I thought white might try the idea of Bf4/Qc7/Nxd6
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: not easy, black has after Bf4/Qc7 moves like Bxf5 followed by e5 winning Bf4 33...e6 (4:30) 34.Ne3 (0:34)
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: oh its risky to weaken d6-pawn opening the file 34...Ne5 (0:11) 35.Rc2 (0:14) exd5 (0:23) 36.cxd5 (0:10)
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: That was fast decision of white having enough time. it was maybe critical position of that game
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: dont want to say that cxd was wrong! just very fast! 36...a6 (1:23)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: I think nxd5 was better 37.a3 (2:19)
stevelco(1753) whispers: I wish Black would try to do something on those light squares around Black's king
stevelco(1753) whispers: White's King 37...bxa3 (2:21)
Koff(1962) whispers: like Qg7-g6? 38.Qxa3 (0:12) Bb5 (0:10)
stevelco(1753) whispers: yes 39.Nc4 (0:09)
Twikki(2052) whispers: black's position has deteriorated since e6- I'm not convinced he has an edge any more 39...Re8 (2:23)
Koff(1962) whispers: aha. another way to put pressure on e4
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: Bf4 is strong
Henderb(1776) whispers: Go, go go ... Milpat :D
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: where? he needs to finish this game first! :D 40.Bf4 (5:20) Nf7 (2:34) 41.Re1 (1:13) Ne5 (0:16) 42.Bxe5 (1:35) fxe5 (0:03) 43.Kg1 (0:09) Rf7 (0:24) 44.Qc1 (0:09) Qe7 (3:34)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: Qh6 seems to grab a pawn. either h3 pawn, or d6 pawn. 45.Qh6 (2:35)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: yaay!
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: nope it doesn't
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: Bxc4 bxc4 Rh7 45...Bxc4 (2:05) 46.bxc4 (0:05) Rh7 (0:18) 47.Qg6+ (0:18)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: the a- passed pawn seems dangerous 47...Rg7 (0:10) 48.Qf5 (0:06) Rf8 (0:04) 49.Qxh3 (0:08)
CarlosKerber(1590) whispers: go go go Pat! 49...Rf3 (2:20) 50.Ra2 (0:49) Rc3 (0:42)
Aneirin(1851) whispers: oh dear
Aneirin(1851) whispers: Rxa6 :o 51.Qc8+ (2:59) Kh7 (0:27) 52.Qxa6 (0:04)
stevelco(1753) whispers: Qh4 52...Qf6 (1:06) 53.Rf2 (0:32) Qg6 (0:10)
Twikki(2052) whispers: true, Nbd7 gets the pawn back and is somewhat drawish after Qe2+ and d6- but it's a style issue. I'd rather take my chances in an open position than play the French :)
Twikki(2052) whispers: mistell
Aneirin(1851) whispers: no kiddin'. :)
stevelco(1753) whispers: we were thinking about the French, but just weren't verbalizing it
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: Rxa6 had an strong attack 54.Kh1 (1:30)
Twikki(2052) whispers: I hate even thinking about the French :D 54...Qh6 (0:28)
Aneirin(1851) whispers: yes, that's why I liked it more than this Q->a6 manoeuver
stevelco(1753) whispers: I hate positions that *look like* the French 55.Kg2 (0:36)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: french is why I don't play e4 often 55...Qg6 (0:28)
Aneirin(1851) whispers: yes, switched to 1. f4 because of the french. 56.Kf1 (0:15) Rf7 (0:48)
Twikki(2052) whispers: I think I'll start playing e4 e6 g4 just to show my disdain for the french
stevelco(1753) whispers: lol
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: what's best to play against 1. f4? 57.Rxf7+ (0:23) Qxf7+ (0:01) 58.Kg1 (0:02)
Twikki(2052) whispers: f4 g5 leads to interesting play 58...Qg6 (0:56)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: seems so tactical. not my taste
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: e4 e6 Nf3 d5 e5 c5 b4! 1-0
Aneirin(1851) whispers: yes, black can easily resign then..
stevelco(1753) whispers: lol 59.Qa2 (1:07) Qg4 (1:24)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: black's initiative is gone after the exchange of rooks. safe endgame for white.
eastorwest(1739) whispers: No, french-sicilian gambit 1/2-1/2 60.Qf2 (2:17) Rxc4 (0:12) 61.Qf7+ (0:09) Qg7 (0:04) 62.Qf5+ (0:07) Qg6 (0:11) 63.Qh3+ (0:46) Kg7 (0:32) 64.Qg2 (0:17) Rd4 (0:11)
Koff(1962) whispers: nice to see black's still afloat here 65.Qe2 (1:08)
stevelco(1753) whispers: milpat has been playing well 65...c4 (0:17) 66.Qf3 (0:17)
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: opps, what happened - seems to be equal position now 66...Rd3 (0:50) 67.Re3 (0:07)
stevelco(1753) whispers: Black has been keeping the pressure on one way and another
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: if he founds Rb3! now, cause white cant exchange there, loosing e4-pawn
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: qg2 was too passive
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: Queens-Endgame better for black 67...Rd4 (1:09)
AliKhoshechin(1791) whispers: Ra3- a7+ looks good
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: Well, now can white risk playing for win putting his Queen on e2 and pushing g- and h-pawns
Koff(1962) whispers: yes. g4+Qf5 and wK can come up a bit
Koff(1962) whispers: (altho not sure if it's winning after Qxf5 :)
Twikki(2052) whispers: Ra3 Re4 Ra7+ Kh6 Rf7 looks strong
eastorwest(1739) whispers: Rf4 and then ? milpat offers a draw.
Koff(1962) whispers: heh
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: oh, not Rf7, Qf8+
Funkmaus(2284) whispers: Ra3 workes for white now
Twikki(2052) whispers: yeah, even better StoneCastle accepts the draw request. Game drawn by mutual agreement 1/2-1/2
