GaraE(1411) whispers: This game?
pgg(1604) whispers: :)
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: squibs fallen asleep? 15.Qe2 (6:22)
hundirector(2288) whispers: u woke him up
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: :)
hundirector(2288) whispers: sadist! he needs his sleep
GaraE(1411) whispers: Hehe, he had to consider Qb1, Qd2, and Qe2. I guess he decided the possible ... Ne4 after Qd2 made Qd2 not good.
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: sorry squib :(
GaraE(1411) whispers: I couldn't figure out what black was going to do 3rd or 4th so didn't know which moves would be worse for white.
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: easy, black x c4
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: quuen cant take thae pawm
hundirector(2288) whispers: well there's Nc5, so no pin
GaraE(1411) whispers: She most certainly can. dxc3 Qxc4 Rc8 Nc5 and now the knight on b4 is in danger and must move before anything else.
GaraE(1411) whispers: Yeah.
GaraE(1411) whispers: Could do a queen or rook move to protect the knight I guess, after that line.
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: oh yes, u right nc5 blocks
GaraE(1411) whispers: My mind is breaking up after that point so I don't know if it'd be an advantage, disadvantage, or neutral outcome.
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: yes, got it, ne4
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: no more block at c5
Myob(1758) whispers: that the new virus? 15...Ne4 (11:27)
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: yes, u see
hundirector(2288) whispers: squirrel flu
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: watch out squib
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: i thought the bishop at g5 was checking the white king, ?
Myob(1758) whispers: :))
GaraE(1411) whispers: Adjust the color contrast of the pieces if that could be confused. :D
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: :)) does that ever happen to you?
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: no, theres plenty contrast,, thanks gara
GaraE(1411) whispers: :P 16.a3 (2:33)
hundirector(2288) whispers: get a rainbow chess set zulu.. now thats confusing
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: ha ha, must be
milpat(1797) whispers: Zulu u see already rainbow everywhere by default?
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: lol, hi milpat
milpat(1797) whispers: yo man ;)
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: na, its when i observe too much
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: i get wonky
GaraE(1411) whispers: Wonky fun times.
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: yes
milpat(1797) whispers: is that TL?
Myob(1758) whispers: Na2+?
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: cant balck now takec4 pawn?
GaraE(1411) whispers: Trapped knight if he does that no? (@ Na2+)
milpat(1797) whispers: Na2 Kb1 where goes the N?
Myob(1758) whispers: ah no, scrub that :(
Myob(1758) whispers: thinking Na2 Kb1 Nc3+
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: ha ha myob
milpat(1797) whispers: could almost be possible...
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: kamikaze knight
GaraE(1411) whispers: Yeah, that'd expose the b file, but not enough tempo for black to mobilize pieces to take advantage before white defends.
milpat(1797) whispers: cuz Nc3 bxc Nxc3
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: knight should be allowed to jump off the board
GaraE(1411) whispers: It's a bottomless pit..!
milpat(1797) whispers: fork and leave king aerated 16...Nxg5 (5:23)
derMandarin(2144) whispers: nxg5 dxc4 looks best for black 17.hxg5 (0:20) dxc4 (0:13)
GaraE(1411) whispers: two pieces for a rook is a down exchange right? Normally?
derMandarin(2144) whispers: no
GaraE(1411) whispers: Oh.
derMandarin(2144) whispers: bishop or knight for a rook is being an exchange down
GaraE(1411) whispers: I mean the person who give up the two minor pieces.
derMandarin(2144) whispers: bishop and knight for a rook is a sex exchange
Myob(1758) whispers: afe short on time
milpat(1797) whispers: most of times a pawn comes with the rook (like here on c3) seems = 18.Qxc4 (2:28)
GaraE(1411) whispers: So if I understand right.. knight + knight for rook is - for the knights person, but knight + knight for rook + pawn is =, and bishop + knight for rook is =? while bishop + knight for rook + pawn is +?
milpat(1797) whispers: 2 pieces for a rook better for the one gave rook
GaraE(1411) whispers: Ah. Okay. 18...Rc8 (1:36)
milpat(1797) whispers: 2 pieces better than a rook for sure
hundirector(2288) whispers: or not, it depends. but yes getting the two pieces tends to be better 19.Nc5 (0:03) Nd5 (0:05)
GaraE(1411) whispers: Yeah, I understand it does depend on the situation. Thanks for clearing this matter up for me regarding 2pieces for rook. :) Was never quite sure on this one. 20.Ne5 (3:03) e6 (0:40)
zulugodetia(1581) whispers: goodnight, go squib, go dowb the h with a rook somehow 21.Nf3 (0:53) Qb6 (0:12) 22.Kb1 (0:45) Rb8 (0:54)
milpat(1797) whispers: Nc3+?
GaraE(1411) whispers: Qxc3 at no penalty though? 23.Rd2 (0:45) Rfc8 (0:05)
milpat(1797) whispers: o u right hehe
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: oo is this the monkey tournament? 24.Rc2 (2:32)
Myob(1758) whispers: yes Crazy, think so
CrazyHunter(1843) whispers: do any sacs work here? working off the diagonal? 24...Qa5 (2:46)
GaraE(1411) whispers: Doesn't seem to work, all the white pieces just happen to be in the right places to prevent advantage from any sacs. afegasta offers a draw.
GaraE(1411) whispers: Maybe white could go for forcing exchanges and hope for the a and b pawns to prove too much for black. squib declines the draw request. 25.Qd3 (3:41)
GaraE(1411) whispers: Was thinking of Qa6 instead of that.
derMandarin(2144) whispers: we will have a new current leader after this game is over 25...Rb5 (3:14)
GaraE(1411) whispers: Time for Rhc1? 26.Rhc1 (2:02) Rd8 (1:18)
GaraE(1411) whispers: Ne5 maybe 27.Ne5 (1:07)
GaraE(1411) whispers: threatens Nc6 fork 27...Bxe5 (0:45) 28.dxe5 (0:09) Qb6 (0:01) 29.Qf3 (0:11) Rb8 (0:21)
onomatopeia(1342) whispers: time pressure 30.Na4 (1:15)

WillSki(1467) whispers: Nc5 32.b3 (1:51) Rb5 (0:25)
GaraE(1411) whispers: Nc5 maybe
GaraE(1411) whispers: again :P afegasta offers a draw.
GaraE(1411) whispers: White shouldn't accept draw
GaraE(1411) whispers: He has a mate threat depending on what black does with queen squib declines the draw request. 33.b4 (3:31)
milpat(1797) whispers: Nxb4 looks tempting... 33...a5 (0:33)
GaraE(1411) whispers: I would've preffered Nc5 - can still do it now. Need to get queen off guarding c8.
GaraE(1411) whispers: Well not sure about now. :(
milpat(1797) whispers: a5 hurts 34.Nc5 (1:35) Qc7 (0:24)
GaraE(1411) whispers: 32. ... Nc5 where do you think black would've put his queen if he wasn't going to capture the knight with rook? 35.Nd3 (0:40) Qd7 (0:22)
WillSki(1467) whispers: 35 Na6 woulda forked R & Q
WillSki(1467) whispers: & helped out b4 too
milpat(1797) whispers: then Qxe5+ wil
milpat(1797) whispers: get out of the fork
WillSki(1467) whispers: ah good point 36.a4 (2:16) Nxb4 (0:29) 37.axb5 (0:10) Nxd3 (0:05)
WillSki(1467) whispers: Rd1
GaraE(1411) whispers: I see, that would've also ruined the 32. ... Nc5 too with black queen going into the same positions.
GaraE(1411) whispers: The check escaping from fork =/
milpat(1797) whispers: seems white has no fear about his king safety...wow
derMandarin(2144) whispers: 19 observers
GaraE(1411) whispers: mmm observing goodness. :P
xombie(1880) whispers: black seem to have been bombed 38.Rc8+ (6:42) squib offers a draw. afegasta accepts the draw request. Game drawn by mutual agreement 1/2-1/2
