Bibbusque(2376) whispers: berlin defence
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: De2 is not main line
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: and i think isnt best way
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: i remember Nd4 like a strong move here, idea N:d4 Q:d4 and if Rd1- Bg4!
Opinel(2468) whispers: berlin
Opinel(2468) whispers: i didn't know bibbu became a solid player 8...Nd4 (4:57)
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: N:d4 Q:d4 and if Rd1- Bg4 i remember this line is good for me
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: he avoid main line
Opinel(2468) whispers: yes but Qe2 is a good move
Opinel(2468) whispers: adopted by the polgars for a while 9.Nxd4 (1:58) Qxd4 (0:04)
vipiu(2049) whispers: is Be3 playable ?
Opinel(2468) whispers: i don't see how
Opinel(2468) whispers: Qxb2
vipiu(2049) whispers: yeah, not much compensation
Opinel(2468) whispers: mainline is Nc3
Opinel(2468) whispers: though h3 is interesting
vipiu(2049) whispers: maybe h3
vipiu(2049) whispers: yes, to prevent Bg4 10.Nc3 (2:01) Bg4 (0:19) 11.Qe3 (0:11)
Opinel(2468) whispers: black is fine here 11...Qxe3 (0:43) 12.Bxe3 (0:02) Bf5 (0:01)
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: i feel good 13.Rac1 (0:14)
Opinel(2468) whispers: usually the idea for black is to meet Nc3 with Bb4 13...O-O-O (0:08)
Opinel(2468) whispers: at some point
vipiu(2049) whispers: they play too fast :( 14.Ne2 (0:13)
Opinel(2468) whispers: it's still book
pgg(1636) whispers: Bibb always plays fast, dont think I see him play slow at any time
vipiu(2049) whispers: not easy to save light B after Nd4
vipiu(2049) whispers: Bg4 maybe after Nd4
Opinel(2468) whispers: h6 or c5 is fine
Opinel(2468) whispers: but i'm not sure black should stop nd4 14...h6 (2:23)
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: yes control g5 and Bh7 if Nd4
Opinel(2468) whispers: h6 was probably best anyway
Opinel(2468) whispers: Be7 Nd4 Bd7 was interesting as well 15.Ng3 (0:43)
Opinel(2468) whispers: intending c5 Nb5 a6 Nc3 15...Bh7 (0:23)
vipiu(2049) whispers: f4 ?
Opinel(2468) whispers: is that a question?
vipiu(2049) whispers: yes
Opinel(2468) whispers: f4 seems reasonable indeed
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: now i ll start the plan of the berlin, with b6-c5 abd a5
vipiu(2049) whispers: maybe f4 f5 and Re1... if Rd5 is not a threat...
Opinel(2468) whispers: no
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: idea is very strong when he has Pb3-a4 and c4 i can change my Bf8 bishop for his N and final is won, because he has a bas structure of panws in queen side, so Bc2 and take his pawn, its a classic plan of berlin
Opinel(2468) whispers: i don't see the logic of f5 at all
Opinel(2468) whispers: seems to slow black down a great deal
Opinel(2468) whispers: the plan in the berlin is simple to understand
Opinel(2468) whispers: you quite simply build the endgame 16.f4 (4:32) b6 (0:12)
Opinel(2468) whispers: with a pawn formation of pawns @c6/a6/b7 there is no way for white to create a successful pawn storm. in the berlin due to the double c pawn black plays b6 / a5 and c5
Opinel(2468) whispers: with the same formation
vipiu(2049) whispers: ok, so if not f5 c3 and Re1
Opinel(2468) whispers: then black will try to exploite the over advanced e pawn and activate his bishop pair. the bishop pair are the main advantage to follow with the advanced pawn and white has nothing real since the black king is safe
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: f4 is interesting way to block my Bh7! but f5 is dangerous because Pe5 then became weak
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: and i ll take it of course, no way to defend it
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: i don t founf here a good plan for white :) 17.f5 (2:33)
Opinel(2468) whispers: c3 does make sense . yes
vipiu(2049) whispers: hehe, he played bad as I suggested first time :)
vipiu(2049) whispers: maybe is not that bad
Opinel(2468) whispers: this is terrible
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: ok if Rd5 how he defend e5?
Opinel(2468) whispers: i dont' know. Rd5 is just strong
vipiu(2049) whispers: oh, NickyChess is very strong, his blitz is almost 2300
Opinel(2468) whispers: he can play f6 and break the king side pawn formation
Opinel(2468) whispers: yes he is strong and a nice guy as well
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: ok, Rd5 if Bf4 just the idea its: g5,f:g6,Bc5+,Kh1and B:g6 now if c4,Rdd8 and i have his bad weakness, Pe5, then i can attack it
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: and my Bg6 control his N
Opinel(2468) whispers: this is bad, black is much better after Rd5
vipiu(2049) whispers: anyway, on Rd5 Bf4 looks like a must 17...Rd5 (5:50)
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: dunno also Bf4-Bc5 + and Bd5 seem more easy
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: Bd4 i mean 18.Bf4 (1:01)
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: maybe yes 18...Bc5+ (0:37)
Opinel(2468) whispers: i was thiking e6 fxe fxe Re5 Bd4 Rxe Rf7 19.Kh1 (0:05) Bd4 (0:05)
vipiu(2049) whispers: e6 or Rfe1 or Rcd1
Opinel(2468) whispers: black is just losing. personally, i don't see anything that can even mix this up. b;ack is just better
Opinel(2468) whispers: white is just losing*
vipiu(2049) whispers: so fast :(
Opinel(2468) whispers: i would probably play c3 here
Opinel(2468) whispers: i think your c3 is a good move. apparently d4 is quite a key square
vipiu(2049) whispers: on c3 he cannot take on d5, isn't it ?
vipiu(2049) whispers: or acually that is the only move
vipiu(2049) whispers: c3 Bxe5, c4 Ra5 b4 Bxf4 ?
RxR(1695) whispers: yes, that seems good enough for black
Opinel(2468) whispers: c4 Bxf4 immediately
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: i studied berlin for 5 mounths last year
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: ehehe
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: iwanted to play main line with Q:d8+, but he did Qe2?!
Opinel(2468) whispers: maybe he's in shock 20.Rb1 (13:53)
RxR(1695) whispers: nice try, now c4 is possible after bxe5 I guess
Opinel(2468) whispers: yes
Opinel(2468) whispers: g5!
Opinel(2468) whispers: fxg Bxg and no c4
vipiu(2049) whispers: actually I think that black is ok even after Bxe5 c4 Bxf4 pxd5 Bxg3 pxg3 pxd5
Opinel(2468) whispers: g5 is winning
vipiu(2049) whispers: yeah
Opinel(2468) whispers: "don't move until you see it"
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: b:e5 c4 Ra5 and b4 his idea
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: and i think g5! is my best move, because after f:g6-B:g6 my 2 bishop are too strong, and then how he defend Pc2?
Opinel(2468) whispers: don't mess with the bibbu 20...g5 (6:58)
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: see how berlin can be dangerouns for white if he don t play good main move 21.fxg6 (1:44) Bxg6 (0:03)
Opinel(2468) whispers: Qe2 isn't bad, other moves he played were bad
vipiu(2049) whispers: hmm, from now on I think even I could win it
RxR(1695) whispers: I long for the day someone refutes the berlin
Opinel(2468) whispers: not going to happen
Opinel(2468) whispers: but you can play the alekhine var against it
Opinel(2468) whispers: as white
Opinel(2468) whispers: it's not amazing, but hardly anyone knows it 22.b3 (2:50) Bxc2 (0:18) 23.Rbc1 (0:05) Bd3 (0:42)
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: bc5 then :)
Opinel(2468) whispers: Bd3 Rfd1 is forcing Bc5 then white has Nh5-f6 with slight compensations compared to other lines i think 24.Rfd1 (0:42) Bc5 (0:10)
Opinel(2468) whispers: excuse my english. last few days it's horrible 25.Nh5 (0:49)
Opinel(2468) whispers: i think whiite will have to play Rxc5 or his king will be difficult to defend
RxR(1695) whispers: I would prefer Be2 here to get the pawn structure straightened
Bibbusque(2376) whispers: be2-R:d5-R:d5 and then d4-d3 ... :) seem good
RxR(1695) whispers: although it opens up for some tactics vs c7 25...Be2 (3:47) 26.Rxd5 (0:06) cxd5 (0:01) 27.Nf6 (0:04) d4 (0:12)
Opinel(2468) whispers: yes Be2 seemed best 28.b4 (0:47)
Opinel(2468) whispers: meaningless
Opinel(2468) whispers: Bxb4 e6 c5!
Opinel(2468) whispers: white can't promote after Bb5 with the B and R
Opinel(2468) whispers: a regular bibbu game 28...Bxb4 (6:36) 29.e6 (0:04) c5 (0:01) 30.e7 (1:31) Bb5 (0:02) 31.a4 (0:06)
