Login to get PGN standard 45+45, 2010-02-21

1.Nf3 (0:00) Nc6 (0:00) 2.g3 (0:26) e5 (0:09) 3.e4 (0:42) Nf6 (0:26) 4.Nc3 (0:18) d5 (0:08) 5.exd5 (1:25) Nxd5 (0:10) 6.Bb5 (0:23) Nxc3 (1:05) 7.Bxc6+ (1:01)
CinnamonBandit(1438) whispers: I was going to play the modern originally but my brain is filled with salt I guess
7...bxc6 (0:24) 8.bxc3 (0:01) Bd6 (0:40) 9.d4 (1:15) exd4 (0:28) 10.cxd4 (0:52)
CinnamonBandit(1438) whispers: plan is to make him loose his castle by going Bb4+ Bd2 Bxd2 Nxd2 Qe7+
schroedinger(1884) whispers: Since 6.Bb5, what was 2.g3 for?
10...Bb4+ (1:32)
schroedinger(1884) whispers: 6.Bg2 Nxc3 7.bxc3 is the main line
11.Bd2 (2:23)
CinnamonBandit(1438) whispers: I personally don't see anyway out of it for black because blocking with Knight follows a similer line and pushing pawn wins me a rook
11...Bxd2+ (0:19) 12.Qxd2 (0:54)
schroedinger(1884) whispers: Vallejo-Pons vs. Topalov (!) Dos Hermanas 2008 continued the above line with 7...Bd6 8.0-0 0-0 9.d4 and ended in a draw
12...O-O (1:24) 13.O-O (0:27)
schroedinger(1884) whispers: The white square weaknesses around the white king are obvious without the Bg2.
rookcheck(1689) whispers: Qd5 Bb7 Rad8 Rfe8 and finally c5 is better for black
13...Qd5 (1:58)
rookcheck(1689) whispers: the isloated pawns don't matter because white can't go after them without getting mated :P .....she can get rid of her pawns before the queens are traded
schroedinger(1884) whispers: With the pawn on g2 here, white is even better...
14.Qf4 (0:59)
rookcheck(1689) whispers: white will have alot of dificulties
rookcheck(1689) whispers: seems he needs to trade queens to exploit the isolated pawns
14...Bb7 (4:29) 15.Rab1 (2:00) c5 (0:40) 16.Rb3 (0:56)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: c4
jaberwock(1996) whispers: maintains strong square on d5
rookcheck(1689) whispers: or just cxd
16...c4 (5:29) 17.Re3 (0:55)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: cd4 may be better; sometimes I miss the obvious
rookcheck(1689) whispers: I agree now Re5 is super annoying
jaberwock(1996) whispers: but doen't that drop knight?
rookcheck(1689) whispers: Sometimes I miss the obvious too ;)
rookcheck(1689) whispers: hehe
rookcheck(1689) whispers: Qd6 offering to fix her pawn structure, maybe?
rookcheck(1689) whispers: or perhaps Rfe8 to contest the file
rookcheck(1689) whispers: or maybe black can somehow penetrate down the b file
jaberwock(1996) whispers: I was thinking Rae8 or Rfe8;
rookcheck(1689) whispers: but she loses the file after Rfe1
rookcheck(1689) whispers: well the c pawn is hanging
GaraE(1308) whispers: Who loses it?
jaberwock(1996) whispers: true; but after a trade, white's rook is locked on e3
rookcheck(1689) whispers: so i'm thining c5, Qd6 or Qc6 are the only possible moves
rookcheck(1689) whispers: *thinking
GaraE(1308) whispers: Oh.
jaberwock(1996) whispers: An idea for white, h3, Kh2, Rg1 guarding g2, h1, freeing knight
jaberwock(1996) whispers: of course that is ignoring any counters black may have
rookcheck(1689) whispers: and then perhaps Rg2 and move the N and f4
Evilthunder(1922) whispers: well whats wrong with qe5?
rookcheck(1689) whispers: hangs the queen
rookcheck(1689) whispers: ;) black to play
Evilthunder(1922) whispers: qe5,qc6,re1
Evilthunder(1922) whispers: i know was saying an idea of white
rookcheck(1689) whispers: I'm thinking Qd6
rookcheck(1689) whispers: offer to get rid of the pressure of the queen with fixed pawns as copmensation
17...Qc6 (9:49)
rookcheck(1689) whispers: Rfe1 and he has the file
rookcheck(1689) whispers: looks dangerous for black
rookcheck(1689) whispers: very centralized play
rookcheck(1689) whispers: whereas black hasn't developed her rooks
18.Rfe1 (0:49)
GaraE(1308) whispers: Black may be about to.
rookcheck(1689) whispers: with teh queen on c6 she can try Rae8
jaberwock(1996) whispers: black: Rad8, h6, Rd6, Rf6
GaraE(1308) whispers: Qc6 also extended diagonal shield on e8 square. Maybe they'll go for trading rooks.
18...Rad8 (1:01)
GaraE(1308) whispers: Guess not yet.
rookcheck(1689) whispers: I thinki the more trading black does, the more weak the c pawns will become
rookcheck(1689) whispers: Well I'm in the 45 5 tourney soon
rookcheck(1689) whispers: Gotta go when it starts
19.c3 (0:51)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: The e-file looks nice for white, but no entry squares other than e7
rookcheck(1689) whispers: That's the most important square, though, jaberwock :)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: and that e3 rook is locked
Evilthunder(1922) whispers: i think black is better here
jaberwock(1996) whispers: I think white is helpless to Rd6-f6
rookcheck(1689) whispers: Rd6 Qe5
rookcheck(1689) whispers: then Rf6 is met with d5
rookcheck(1689) whispers: but white has a staggering time advantage, and black is a really slow thinker
GaraE(1308) whispers: Seems like white is hoping to Kf1, is that viable?
rookcheck(1689) whispers: even with the increment she could get into time trouble
GaraE(1308) whispers: He locked the pawn that could've opened the diagonal from queenside.
rookcheck(1689) whispers: I doubt Kf1
GaraE(1308) whispers: White has a strong e file, breaking out knight would be nice.
Evilthunder(1922) whispers: how does kg2,kh3,kg4 looks like?:D
rookcheck(1689) whispers: like mate
jaberwock(1996) whispers: Like a madman, Evilthunder, but I like it.
GaraE(1308) whispers: A message from evil voices in our heads.
Evilthunder(1922) whispers: :))
19...h6 (4:00) 20.h4 (1:12)
rookcheck(1689) whispers: h6 just said: I pass
rookcheck(1689) whispers: gotta play my tourney, see yall
GaraE(1308) whispers: Good luck.
jaberwock(1996) whispers: Now I looked at (for black) g6, Rd5 with threat Rf5 ; not now with h6 pawn hanging
20...Rd6 (2:17)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: we will see if black has a counter to rookcheck's idea
GaraE(1308) whispers: There's the Rd6-f6 move you mentioned?
jaberwock(1996) whispers: if Qe5, Re6
jaberwock(1996) whispers: or Rd5 wth idea Kh7, g6, Rf5
GaraE(1308) whispers: If that rook moves
jaberwock(1996) whispers: which rook?
GaraE(1308) whispers: Qxf3 gaining knight, Qxf3 Bxf3 still knight up. Escaping afterwards.
GaraE(1308) whispers: Nothing, I'm just getting mixed up.
GaraE(1308) whispers: can't tell which color which notations are for anymore. :(
jaberwock(1996) whispers: I know the feeling.
21.Kg2 (3:14)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: that looks fatal
GaraE(1308) whispers: So the solution he elects is to have King roll up his sleeves and guard.
21...Rf6 (0:42)
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: im not a fan of the self pin
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: pretty much always gets you in trouble
jaberwock(1996) whispers: self-pins are great in porblem composition
22.Qg4 (2:18) h5 (1:06)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: premature?
GaraE(1308) whispers: Wondering about the usefulness of that h5.
23.Qxh5 (0:20)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: I considered Rd8-d5-f5
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: maybe try Bc8 here... and run the queen around untill it leaves the protection of the knight
milpat(1776) whispers: go Cin!!
jaberwock(1996) whispers: I didn't consider the rerouting of bishop via c8; clever, CrazyHunter
jaberwock(1996) whispers: It may not be best, but I like the outside-the-box thinking!
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: right i was just considering that if Bc8 Rd8 looks strong so maybe g6 first and then Bc8 and start the queen tempos?
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: however g6 would further weaken the kingside
GaraE(1308) whispers: If 23. ... Bc8.. that's the move Crazyhunter?
23...Rh6 (3:33)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: My concern is taking off an attacker from focusing on f3
jaberwock(1996) whispers: Can white offer a trade Qc5
jaberwock(1996) whispers: then unpin with g4, Kg3
24.Qf5 (2:04)
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: i suppose if Qc5 then Qd7...?
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: in our variation?
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: controlling the c8h3 diagonal
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: and protecting the c7 pawn
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: i dunno looks complicated but black may have a shot
24...g6 (2:30)
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: hmm
jaberwock(1996) whispers: hmmm trappped rook
derMandarin(2144) whispers: out of order - your rook
jaberwock(1996) whispers: unless Rh5 later
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: not sure if doubling up on the h file helps black...
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: not with white controlling the e file
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: what about g6 on move 23?
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: if Qg4 then Bc8 idea comes into play
jaberwock(1996) whispers: Qf4 in reply then
jaberwock(1996) whispers: instead of Qg4
GaraE(1308) whispers: Yeah, Qf4 seems viable. Hopefully I didn't miss something.
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: if Qf4 Rx f3
25.Qf4 (5:12)
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: wait... 23 Qxh5 g6
GaraE(1308) whispers: Qf4 Rh5 assuming black persists in wanting rook in on the action, Re4 to block Q's pin, freeing knight, f5 to threaten fxR but g4 counter threatens black R.
25...Rh5 (0:55)
Kisch(1368) whispers: Re1 h1?
26.Re5 (2:06)
jaberwock(1996) whispers: I was about to suggest that. Not that it is good or bad...
jaberwock(1996) whispers: trades off black's acive rook
26...Rxe5 (2:28) 27.Rxe5 (0:58)
GaraE(1308) whispers: Scary.
GaraE(1308) whispers: d5?
GaraE(1308) whispers: Is next from white if given the chance?
27...Qxf3+ (2:44) 28.Qxf3 (0:20) Bxf3+ (0:03) 29.Kxf3 (0:09) Rb8 (0:43)
Kisch(1368) whispers: a2 a4
30.Rc5 (1:18)
Kisch(1368) whispers: go Kirktcb go
30...Rb2 (0:45) 31.Rxc7 (0:27) Rxa2 (0:10) 32.Rxc4 (0:04) a5 (0:27) 33.d5 (0:53) Kf8 (0:19)
onomatopeia(1366) whispers: GO CINNAMON GO
GaraE(1308) whispers: 34. Re4 viable?
onomatopeia(1366) whispers: Re4 f5?
GaraE(1308) whispers: Re1 with intention to Ra1 if black rook moves?
GaraE(1308) whispers: After the f5.
34.d6 (2:25) Ke8 (0:23) 35.Rd4 (0:05) Kd7 (0:12)
GaraE(1308) whispers: Probably should Rd1 and start moving white king.
36.g4 (0:50) Ra3 (0:37) 37.Rd3 (0:38) Rb3 (0:15)
GaraE(1308) whispers: nvm, white knows what he's doing more than I do. :D
