1.e4 (0:00) c6 (0:00)
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Caro! Great!!
hugozver(1926) whispers: GO vipiu!!
vipiu(2076) whispers: hmm, second time I play 1.e4...and CaroKan...I saw a game yesterday with the black player winning...by bluffing
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: BPaulsen is Caro-Kann expert, I have seen some his Caro-games! 2.f4 (2:30) d5 (0:05) 3.e5 (0:43) Bf5 (0:21)
Albido(2295) whispers: I agree Funkmaus, he's scary good with it 4.Nf3 (0:26) e6 (0:03)
pgg(1641) whispers: should be a good game then ;) 5.d4 (0:41)
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: This with f4... is like advanced caro. Black has simple positional play
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: I like to go with h5/Bg6/Nf5/c5/Nc6/Be7
vipiu(2076) whispers: the game should be finished in about 30 minutes, as Lyon-Bayern will start 5...Nd7 (0:45)
gile(1786) whispers: futball?
gile(1786) whispers: football ?:)
pgg(1641) whispers: guess so :)
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Ba*ern, dont spell this world right!!! 6.Be3 (2:31) Qb6 (0:11)
Opinel(2474) whispers: i tried 2...Nf6 2 times the last few days
Opinel(2474) whispers: Qc1 is the move for white 7.Qc1 (2:01)
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: here
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Bd3 instead of Be3 is more common here
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: 6...Qb6 was just bad. 7. b3 followed by 8. c4 and he would've had a nice initiative. I guess I should be thankful he played Qc1 instead.
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: ah Qc1, nice b3 and c4 then
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: yes
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i know this plan
Opinel(2474) whispers: black can defend fine here
vipiu(2076) whispers: checking our OTB ratings he is not necesary the favourite...unlike our fics ratings...
pgg(1641) whispers: go :(|)
Opinel(2474) whispers: his OTB means nothing, he is at least IM strength.
Opinel(2474) whispers: not just in talent
Opinel(2474) whispers: he has knowledge as well
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: true 7...Ne7 (2:59)
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: anyway i don t like caro-kan
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: 7...Be7 and 7...Nh6 were other options, but I didn't feel like dealing with an eventual h3/g4 set-up.
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes we know =)
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: ehehe
Opinel(2474) whispers: maybe you don't like playing against it?
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: sorry was away
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i like to play vs it :)
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i think white win
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: in my analisy caro kan lose 8.Nbd2 (2:47)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: As of right now I'm undecided as to how I'm going to go about deploying my pieces. The stupid looking Qb6 rules out any Nc8-b6 idea, most likely.
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: this looks awkward
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: That pretty much leaves me with the typical Ng6 and Bg4 ideas.
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Hmm, this Qb6 is played in e4 c6 d4 d5 e5 Bf5 Nc3 Qb6 and later useful for c5 also with N@d7
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: dont see anything wrong with this m ove
Opinel(2474) whispers: me neither i think it's ok
gile(1786) whispers: I'm only 1700 ... but my experience so far is that Qc1 is usualy a bad move in the opening ...
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I don't really want to put my N on g6 though, so Bg4 or Bg6 has to be better.
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes i think Bg4 makes sense 8...Bg6 (2:27)
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: Qc1 is pretty normal. better than b3 for defending that kind of pawn
Opinel(2474) whispers: or not ==)
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Bg6 - Nf5 is fine!
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Bg4 doesn't really threaten Bxf3 all that much, so I see no reason to surrender the B pair under those circumstances. I'm wary of c4 related attempts right now.
Opinel(2474) whispers: i think b3 is ok as well just less clear in the middle game
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Qc1 is better then b3, which could weaken dark squares. b3 is only good if you can go with c4 immediately
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: that with c4 was mentioned here as a good way to play for white
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: In the event of something like c4-c5 Qc6/b6 and opening the b-file my Bg6 will be useful anyway.
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: *Qc7/b6
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i go to play soccer just now and then go to karate', guys i back in 2-3 hours
Opinel(2474) whispers: bibbu said that b3 is good so i believe him
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: maybe Bf2 to be able to meet Nf5 with g4
Opinel(2474) whispers: you know what i think bibbu
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: b3-c4 is an interesting plan here
vipiu(2076) whispers: maybe c4 if I want to be aggresive ?
Opinel(2474) whispers: Ninjitsu is better than your Karate
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: ahahaha yes, but in italy isn t ninjustu
Opinel(2474) whispers: there is!
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: no
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'm telling you
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: where?
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'll give you the address later
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: OMG
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i am happy!
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: um, b3 for white seems a bit slow after Nf5 and c5 to me
Opinel(2474) whispers: although, i forgot where you live. hmm. message me later
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: im probably wrong though
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: You trust Bibbu and I trust my positional understanding of this! You know, I never argue with you about chess, but its caro :p
pgg(1641) whispers: win the Italian lottery Bibbu?
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: lol
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: anyway i like Ng-e2 and g4 vs carokan
Opinel(2474) whispers: i prefer Bg4 to Bg6
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: i also prefer Bg4
Opinel(2474) whispers: but i'm sure he knows what he's doing
vipiu(2076) whispers: hmm, c4 c5 is annoying
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'm wondering if g4 is playable
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: g4 h5
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: looks too risky
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: but maybe theres somethingthere
Opinel(2474) whispers: with prep maybe
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: yeah i suggested bf2 and g4
Opinel(2474) whispers: sorry i didn't notic
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: no g4... pleaseee... g4 vs. Caro is 0-1
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: i think it was the first line i gave after bg6 was played, bf2 to meet nf5 with g4
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't have the intention of playing g5 just to stop Nf5 like in the exchange pirc
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: the possibility of g4 as long as nf5 isnt hitting anything is probably enough to discourage it, white might get a pretty strong initiative otherwise
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: anyway i haev to go home now, i will be back on in a bit
Opinel(2474) whispers: it's a good plan
Opinel(2474) whispers: Jenny, i don't see what black can do
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bf2 Nf5 g4 then Ne7 again
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: h5/Nf5 and or c5/Nc6/Be7 are common Ideas for blck
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: 0-0
Opinel(2474) whispers: i was thinking Bg2 and h3 against h5
Opinel(2474) whispers: but you're right! c5 is strong then
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: nah h5 not here,
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: I m not familar with Qb6/Nd7 line, I play it a bit other way..
vipiu(2076) whispers: I will go for Nb3 to prevent womehow c5...Nb3 Nf5 Bf2 c5 ? maybe not good for black
Opinel(2474) whispers: i still think Bf2 is a good move 9.Nb3 (9:32)
Opinel(2474) whispers: maybe Be4 before Nf5 is good 9...Nf5 (0:43)
Opinel(2474) whispers: also a5 may weaken white
Opinel(2474) whispers: actually i think black is better here!?! 10.Bf2 (0:40)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: lol, if this were a 1 0 game I'm sure I'd fall straight into 10. Bd2 Be7?? 11. Ba5 +-
Opinel(2474) whispers: a5
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: yes why not
vipiu(2076) whispers: Be2, 00, c4, g4...are to be considered next
Opinel(2474) whispers: a5 is strong
Opinel(2474) whispers: because a4 is bad of course
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: yes
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bb4+
Opinel(2474) whispers: and no c3
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Choices, choices. Do I put up with 10...Be7 11. g4 Nh6, or do I go ahead with c5 since I'm pretty sure it doesn't fail.
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: ok i quit
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: see u guys
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: bye
Opinel(2474) whispers: bye
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: bye Opi :)
Opinel(2474) whispers: he doesn't even consider a5
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'm also going for a few minutes, going to eat. brb 10...c5 (3:50)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: 11. dxc5 Nxc5 12. g4 Nh6 is a little annoying, but I can live with it since the pawn marching may end up working against him. 11.c3 (2:28)
spendius(1810) whispers: White Queen looks in poor position ..weird setup
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I get the feeling 11...c4 just leads me down the wrong path, since I don't have the time to putz around with Qa5/b5 due to my lack of development.
spendius(1810) whispers: what if just Rc8 now ? 11...Be7 (2:54)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: If the chance is still there in a couple of moves I'll go ahead with it. 12.Be2 (0:20) O-O (0:31)
vipiu(2076) whispers: it is difficult to decide now between attacking on K side or 00
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: If he allows it, c4 comes next move.
vipiu(2076) whispers: maybe I can combine them 13.O-O (1:10)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: The only question I have right now is whether closing the center off can be done without provoking a K-side pawn storm.
vipiu(2076) whispers: now I can also take on c5, followed by Nd5
spendius(1810) whispers: no rook in c8 ? look kinda good to me ..
vipiu(2076) whispers: or g4 h3...
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Apparently if I need it I have g4 Nh6 h3 Kh8 as a resource, with Ng8 and then f6 likely works.
CrazyHunter(1886) whispers: how about dxc5, Nxc5 g4 Nh6 Nd4 with the white bishop holding g4 13...c4 (2:58) 14.Nbd2 (0:21)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I need to be able to prevent Nh4 if I'm going to put together this defensive sequence. 14...Qd8 (0:42)
vipiu(2076) whispers: now I must go for K side attack, center is blocked a bit
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Now 15. g4 Nh6 16. h3 Kh8 doesn't have a white Nh4 resource to prevent my Ng8/f6 idea.
JoshuaR(1537) whispers: BPaulsen's games often seem to turn into closed games.
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Once the K-side is taken care of I intend to play ...b5/...b4.
vipiu(2076) whispers: g4 Nh4 NxN BxN f5 and hmm...
vipiu(2076) whispers: so g4 Nh6 h3... 15.g4 (2:56) Nh6 (0:02) 16.h3 (1:10) Kh8 (0:08)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Continuing on with the plan. 17.Qe1 (1:34)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I guess he really wants to play Nh4
vipiu(2076) whispers: damn, the football started
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'm not sure Nh4xg6 is even a gain for him assuming I reply with fxg6 17...b5 (3:04)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'll just continue on with Q-side play since I can't stop it anyway.
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: And if he wants my light squared bishop that bad, he can have it.
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: I would consider Bh4 here, something wrong with it? 18.Nh4 (1:31)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: By putting everything into Nh4 he essentially abandoned any pawn roller idea, I think. 18...b4 (0:13)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: If he can find a way to achieve f5 without playing Nxg6, I'm screwed. If he can't achieve it, I'm doing perfectly fine. 19.Nxg6+ (3:12) fxg6 (0:00)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'm perfectly happy with my position now.
vipiu(2076) whispers: considering Nxc4
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'm back
vipiu(2076) whispers: Nxc4 pxc4 Bxc4 Rxf4 Bxe6 and I have my chances 20.Nxc4 (4:52)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Wow.
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: hmm, can black ignore the sacrifice and play Rxf4?
Twikki(2021) whispers: Qb6 looks more likely than Rxf4
xivarmy(1986) whispers: he could - but i think he should take it and play Qb6 personally
Twikki(2021) whispers: in vipiu's line
Opinel(2474) whispers: doesn't look that amazing really
gile(1786) whispers: it looks amazing to me .. if it counts ... :) 20...dxc4 (2:05) 21.Bxc4 (0:00)
Opinel(2474) whispers: dxc4 Bxc4 ok then bxc3 Qxc3 and then there are a few tries
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: No choic but to accept it, now comes the hard part.
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rc8 just seems good to me
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: ah, vipiu used premove on Bxc4 :D
Opinel(2474) whispers: i think that bxc3 is fine now
Opinel(2474) whispers: if Qx then Rc8 and if bx then Qb6
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bxe6 cxb2 is just too dangerous to ignore
Twikki(2021) whispers: stuff like Qb6 d5 Qc7 de Nxe5 doesn't look good for white 21...Qb6 (6:33)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Can't let him take e6, thankfully c4 is hanging in case of d5
Opinel(2474) whispers: white does have chances for sure after bxc3 bxc3 Qb6 Rb1 Qc6 Bb6 Qc7 Qe4
Opinel(2474) whispers: pretty much the same plan
xivarmy(1986) whispers: why Qc6 first instead of Qc7 directly?
Opinel(2474) whispers: because you want to divert the bishop away from attacking the pawn
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Given how poorly coordinated my pieces are, I'm going to get in a lot of trouble if he gets a third pawn for the piece to get with his space and B pair.
Opinel(2474) whispers: but i think that maybe his Qb6 is just better because white has less activity
xivarmy(1986) whispers: right, for Qb6 - but after d5 why Qc6 instead of Qc7
Opinel(2474) whispers: there was no d5 in my line
xivarmy(1986) whispers: ah right ok :)
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't really see how white is going to get anything here
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: If I can consolidated with bxc3, Qc6, Nb6-d5 things are great. Getting there is going to be a pain.
Opinel(2474) whispers: Be3 or Qe4 seems forced
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Right now the saving grace is the fact he has to waste time on f4 at some point.
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: I m back here!
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't know why he is so scared, i don't see a way for white to improve.
Opinel(2474) whispers: especially when black has g5 himself at some point
asturia(1826) whispers: white should defend f pawn
Opinel(2474) whispers: d5 is nothing as well. after Qc7 d6? Qxc4 dxe7 Rfe8 is fine
Twikki(2021) whispers: Qe3 might be an option... Rac8 is a problem for white after Qe4
Opinel(2474) whispers: or Bb3 exd5 Bxd5 Rad8 is good for black
vipiu(2076) whispers: no ideas, I will have to wait and defend a bit 22.Be3 (8:59)
Opinel(2474) whispers: best move
Opinel(2474) whispers: also trying to stop g5
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rac8
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I don't see anything else positive except the consolidation plan. 22...Qc6 (1:05)
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't like Qc6 23.Be2 (0:30)
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: why not Qb3 for white?
Opinel(2474) whispers: white can open the file and attack. rac8 was better
Opinel(2474) whispers: also now he is threatning Bf3
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: That doesn't prevent it... 23...Nb6 (0:35)
Opinel(2474) whispers: what?
Opinel(2474) whispers: there is no Qb3
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: ok
spendius(1810) whispers: Bf3 seems to hurt now ..
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Nd5
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't understand the q is on e1 how can she go to b3?
Twikki(2021) whispers: c4
xivarmy(1986) whispers: c4!?
spendius(1810) whispers: Bf3 Nd5 c4
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: yeah, sure.. lol 24.c4 (1:51)
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes c4 is good
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Well, that does prevent it. No more Nd5. :))
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bryan, you're dropping the ball!
vipiu(2076) whispers: it is a must to enter in this tactics with c4, as after Nd5 he is very good 24...Rac8 (0:41) 25.b3 (0:15)
Opinel(2474) whispers: oh boy
Opinel(2474) whispers: white is good now
vipiu(2076) whispers: my pawn formation is cute, I have all 8 pawns
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: This is going to get ugly fast if I don't do something energetic soon.
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: once d5 is done, white can win this
Opinel(2474) whispers: you had energetic moves, you just didn't play them! =)
vipiu(2076) whispers: a plan might be R on d file, Bf3 and d5
Opinel(2474) whispers: littlemomo ha ha, this is a fantastic name 25...a5 (2:25)
vipiu(2076) whispers: I think the position is interesting, I am not lost yet
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bf3! 26.Bf3 (0:22) Qc7 (0:18)
vipiu(2076) whispers: as I said, Rd1 and push
Opinel(2474) whispers: d5!!
vipiu(2076) whispers: maybe I do not even need Rd1
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rd1 also good yes
Opinel(2474) whispers: white is winning
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: My hats off to my opponent, 20. Nxc4 was awesome. Totally blindsided me.
KiranY(2063) whispers: d5 bc5?
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Na, I think its better to wait and to preparate d5. it gives square c5 for Bc5 and later there appears a N!
Twikki(2021) whispers: d5 Bc5 and the f4 pawn is loose
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bc5 d6
vipiu(2076) whispers: d5 Bc5 d6 BxB+ QxB Qc5 hmm...
Opinel(2474) whispers: but yes Rd1 is indeed better
KiranY(2063) whispers: yes
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I need to start looking for ways to return the piece. 27.Rd1 (2:24)
vipiu(2076) whispers: he is annoying fast
Opinel(2474) whispers: maybe also Rc1 so d5 is a discovered attack 27...Nd7 (0:52)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: The only way I can think of trying to return it is waiting on d5 in order to play Nxe5 if the circumstances are right.
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't see it happening
Opinel(2474) whispers: white will still have a passed pawn
Opinel(2474) whispers: which will be winning non the less
vipiu(2076) whispers: hmm, d5 now, Bc5 d6 and similar with before
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: ...g5/...Nf7/sacrifice on e5 comes to mind as well. 28.d5 (1:51)
vipiu(2076) whispers: not great but I do not see anythng better and I do not want to wait for him to bring the other N into game
Twikki(2021) whispers: Bc5 d6 Qa7 and f4 is loose
asturia(1826) whispers: white's king could go to a safer place...
xivarmy(1986) whispers: Bc5 dxe possibly?
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Sacrifice doesn't work here, unfortunately, it just loses.
Twikki(2021) whispers: Bg2 would have been a good preparatory move
Opinel(2474) whispers: the problem was 22...Qc6?! (instead of the energetic Rac8) and then the really bad move 23... Nb6? that allowed c4. before that white had nothing and black was just better
Jammes(1899) whispers: qf2 comes to my mind preparing d5 28...exd5 (1:59)
vipiu(2076) whispers: hmm, I like this
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'm reasonably sure I'm much worse now.
vipiu(2076) whispers: pxp works, Rxp not bad either
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rxd5 is bad
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: to me makes only cxd5 sense
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes
Opinel(2474) whispers: then Bc5 only defence
vipiu(2076) whispers: they say 2 connected passedpawns on the 6th are about a rook, so on 5th are not bad either 29.cxd5 (2:25) Bc5 (0:02) 30.Bg2 (0:15)
Opinel(2474) whispers: ???
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I expected the simple Bxc5 where I'm just struggling
Opinel(2474) whispers: Ng2?
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bg2?*
Jammes(1899) whispers: oh wasnt at actual position
xivarmy(1986) whispers: probably worried about his f-pawn
vipiu(2076) whispers: my time might become a problem, especially that the match break has finished
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: This may be my one and only choice to play ...g5 and break up his pawns.
Opinel(2474) whispers: this is sad if white will lose his advantage because of time
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes g5!
Twikki(2021) whispers: hmm... g5 fg Nxg4 hg Nxe5
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Yes, this is the chance to return the piece and shatter his pawns. If I don't do it now, I'm going to lose this. 30...g5 (1:33)
eastorwest(1783) whispers: d6
Opinel(2474) whispers: black also has Qa7 and Rxf4 and this can be a draw after all
Twikki(2021) whispers: e6 is possible
vipiu(2076) whispers: I like fxg5...
Opinel(2474) whispers: e6 Qa7!?
Twikki(2021) whispers: not sure what black has after e6 Qa7 Bf2
Opinel(2474) whispers: like i said
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rxf4
Twikki(2021) whispers: knight is hanging there
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: 31. fxg5 Nxg4 and after that Nxe5
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes it is
vipiu(2076) whispers: I am losing my pawns :(
Opinel(2474) whispers: that is the point, giving back the knight but black can then draw 31.fxg5 (4:05) Nxg4 (0:02)
xivarmy(1986) whispers: doesn't white get to keep the one passed d-pawn extra in that line though, still some winning chances it seems
Twikki(2021) whispers: e6 Bxe3+ Qxe3 gxf4 looked better than Qa7 to me
Opinel(2474) whispers: exN Bxf2+ Rxf2 Rcf8 32.Rxf8+ (0:32)
Twikki(2021) whispers: moot point now 32...Rxf8 (0:08) 33.hxg4 (0:21)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I should be relatively safe even with the pawn minus. 33...Nxe5 (0:04)
Opinel(2474) whispers: black is ok now
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: This still beats the hell out of having two center passed pawns running down my throat.
Twikki(2021) whispers: black may even be better here with white's weak king position
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: For the first time all game I actually have threats of my own.
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't know if black is better, maybe a bit but white can defend
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Still have the feeling I was lost if he played 30. Bxc5 instead of 30. Bg2. 34.Qe2 (2:48)
Opinel(2474) whispers: d6 Bxd6 Qe2 defends the pawn then if black tries again Bc5 Bxc5 and white is defending
Twikki(2021) whispers: i don't see a move which prevents Nxg4
Opinel(2474) whispers: oh my 34...Bxe3+ (0:20)
Opinel(2474) whispers: no
Opinel(2474) whispers: no
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I get my pawn back now.
Opinel(2474) whispers: Nf3+
Opinel(2474) whispers: Nf3_ was good
vipiu(2076) whispers: damn
Opinel(2474) whispers: this is why d6
Opinel(2474) whispers: forcing the B to Bxd6
Opinel(2474) whispers: then Qe2 would protect g4 35.Kh1 (1:19)
Opinel(2474) whispers: doesn't matter now, white is lost
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: ?! 35...Bc5 (0:32)
Twikki(2021) whispers: I guess white thought he was getting mated after Qxe3 Nxg4
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'll just retreat and keep my piece then...
Opinel(2474) whispers: he had d5 still
Opinel(2474) whispers: otherwise, yes
vipiu(2076) whispers: damn, I just lost a picee :(
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I know 35. Qxe3 Nxg4 threatened Qh2++ mate, but still it made more sense than just giving away a piece. 36.Rc1 (0:43)
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bc5 was a bit akward as well, why not Bxg5 36...Ng6 (0:42)
Opinel(2474) whispers: mmm, Qb5 37.Qb5 (0:48) Rc8 (0:11) 38.d6 (0:19) Qxd6 (0:04)
eastorwest(1783) whispers: d6 39.Bb7 (0:02)
Twikki(2021) whispers: naked white king... can probably pitch the bishop for a mate
Opinel(2474) whispers: Qg3
vipiu(2076) whispers: my time trouble was a bit annoying, not sure if it was the real reason but I blundered just when I was around 2-3 minutes on my clock :(
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes, i don't like wins on time 39...Rc7 (1:29) 40.Bg2 (0:24)
spendius(1810) whispers: you guys spend 5 minutes per games whispering :P sometimes you have to regret it 40...Qf8 (0:27)
spendius(1810) whispers: but goota admit ..whispering is fun
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't know what he is doing anymore
AKFan(1887) whispers: white should resign
vipiu(2076) whispers: and I do not even know where exactly I blundered... :(
AKFan(1887) whispers: paulsen goes for Qc8
NegativeNirvana(1787) whispers: on move 1? 41.Qxa5 (0:02) Bb6 (0:10)
Opinel(2474) whispers: pfff vipiu resigns 0-1
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Caro! Great!!
hugozver(1926) whispers: GO vipiu!!
vipiu(2076) whispers: hmm, second time I play 1.e4...and CaroKan...I saw a game yesterday with the black player winning...by bluffing
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: BPaulsen is Caro-Kann expert, I have seen some his Caro-games! 2.f4 (2:30) d5 (0:05) 3.e5 (0:43) Bf5 (0:21)
Albido(2295) whispers: I agree Funkmaus, he's scary good with it 4.Nf3 (0:26) e6 (0:03)
pgg(1641) whispers: should be a good game then ;) 5.d4 (0:41)
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: This with f4... is like advanced caro. Black has simple positional play
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: I like to go with h5/Bg6/Nf5/c5/Nc6/Be7
vipiu(2076) whispers: the game should be finished in about 30 minutes, as Lyon-Bayern will start 5...Nd7 (0:45)
gile(1786) whispers: futball?
gile(1786) whispers: football ?:)
pgg(1641) whispers: guess so :)
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Ba*ern, dont spell this world right!!! 6.Be3 (2:31) Qb6 (0:11)
Opinel(2474) whispers: i tried 2...Nf6 2 times the last few days
Opinel(2474) whispers: Qc1 is the move for white 7.Qc1 (2:01)
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: here
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Bd3 instead of Be3 is more common here
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: 6...Qb6 was just bad. 7. b3 followed by 8. c4 and he would've had a nice initiative. I guess I should be thankful he played Qc1 instead.
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: ah Qc1, nice b3 and c4 then
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: yes
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i know this plan
Opinel(2474) whispers: black can defend fine here
vipiu(2076) whispers: checking our OTB ratings he is not necesary the favourite...unlike our fics ratings...
pgg(1641) whispers: go :(|)
Opinel(2474) whispers: his OTB means nothing, he is at least IM strength.
Opinel(2474) whispers: not just in talent
Opinel(2474) whispers: he has knowledge as well
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: true 7...Ne7 (2:59)
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: anyway i don t like caro-kan
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: 7...Be7 and 7...Nh6 were other options, but I didn't feel like dealing with an eventual h3/g4 set-up.
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes we know =)
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: ehehe
Opinel(2474) whispers: maybe you don't like playing against it?
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: sorry was away
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i like to play vs it :)
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i think white win
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: in my analisy caro kan lose 8.Nbd2 (2:47)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: As of right now I'm undecided as to how I'm going to go about deploying my pieces. The stupid looking Qb6 rules out any Nc8-b6 idea, most likely.
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: this looks awkward
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: That pretty much leaves me with the typical Ng6 and Bg4 ideas.
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Hmm, this Qb6 is played in e4 c6 d4 d5 e5 Bf5 Nc3 Qb6 and later useful for c5 also with N@d7
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: dont see anything wrong with this m ove
Opinel(2474) whispers: me neither i think it's ok
gile(1786) whispers: I'm only 1700 ... but my experience so far is that Qc1 is usualy a bad move in the opening ...
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I don't really want to put my N on g6 though, so Bg4 or Bg6 has to be better.
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes i think Bg4 makes sense 8...Bg6 (2:27)
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: Qc1 is pretty normal. better than b3 for defending that kind of pawn
Opinel(2474) whispers: or not ==)
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Bg6 - Nf5 is fine!
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Bg4 doesn't really threaten Bxf3 all that much, so I see no reason to surrender the B pair under those circumstances. I'm wary of c4 related attempts right now.
Opinel(2474) whispers: i think b3 is ok as well just less clear in the middle game
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Qc1 is better then b3, which could weaken dark squares. b3 is only good if you can go with c4 immediately
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: that with c4 was mentioned here as a good way to play for white
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: In the event of something like c4-c5 Qc6/b6 and opening the b-file my Bg6 will be useful anyway.
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: *Qc7/b6
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i go to play soccer just now and then go to karate', guys i back in 2-3 hours
Opinel(2474) whispers: bibbu said that b3 is good so i believe him
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: maybe Bf2 to be able to meet Nf5 with g4
Opinel(2474) whispers: you know what i think bibbu
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: b3-c4 is an interesting plan here
vipiu(2076) whispers: maybe c4 if I want to be aggresive ?
Opinel(2474) whispers: Ninjitsu is better than your Karate
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: ahahaha yes, but in italy isn t ninjustu
Opinel(2474) whispers: there is!
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: no
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'm telling you
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: where?
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'll give you the address later
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: OMG
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: i am happy!
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: um, b3 for white seems a bit slow after Nf5 and c5 to me
Opinel(2474) whispers: although, i forgot where you live. hmm. message me later
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: im probably wrong though
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: You trust Bibbu and I trust my positional understanding of this! You know, I never argue with you about chess, but its caro :p
pgg(1641) whispers: win the Italian lottery Bibbu?
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: lol
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: anyway i like Ng-e2 and g4 vs carokan
Opinel(2474) whispers: i prefer Bg4 to Bg6
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: i also prefer Bg4
Opinel(2474) whispers: but i'm sure he knows what he's doing
vipiu(2076) whispers: hmm, c4 c5 is annoying
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'm wondering if g4 is playable
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: g4 h5
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: looks too risky
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: but maybe theres somethingthere
Opinel(2474) whispers: with prep maybe
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: yeah i suggested bf2 and g4
Opinel(2474) whispers: sorry i didn't notic
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: no g4... pleaseee... g4 vs. Caro is 0-1
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: i think it was the first line i gave after bg6 was played, bf2 to meet nf5 with g4
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't have the intention of playing g5 just to stop Nf5 like in the exchange pirc
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: the possibility of g4 as long as nf5 isnt hitting anything is probably enough to discourage it, white might get a pretty strong initiative otherwise
Kyuuketsuki(2210) whispers: anyway i haev to go home now, i will be back on in a bit
Opinel(2474) whispers: it's a good plan
Opinel(2474) whispers: Jenny, i don't see what black can do
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bf2 Nf5 g4 then Ne7 again
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: h5/Nf5 and or c5/Nc6/Be7 are common Ideas for blck
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: 0-0
Opinel(2474) whispers: i was thinking Bg2 and h3 against h5
Opinel(2474) whispers: but you're right! c5 is strong then
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: nah h5 not here,
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: I m not familar with Qb6/Nd7 line, I play it a bit other way..
vipiu(2076) whispers: I will go for Nb3 to prevent womehow c5...Nb3 Nf5 Bf2 c5 ? maybe not good for black
Opinel(2474) whispers: i still think Bf2 is a good move 9.Nb3 (9:32)
Opinel(2474) whispers: maybe Be4 before Nf5 is good 9...Nf5 (0:43)
Opinel(2474) whispers: also a5 may weaken white
Opinel(2474) whispers: actually i think black is better here!?! 10.Bf2 (0:40)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: lol, if this were a 1 0 game I'm sure I'd fall straight into 10. Bd2 Be7?? 11. Ba5 +-
Opinel(2474) whispers: a5
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: yes why not
vipiu(2076) whispers: Be2, 00, c4, g4...are to be considered next
Opinel(2474) whispers: a5 is strong
Opinel(2474) whispers: because a4 is bad of course
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: yes
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bb4+
Opinel(2474) whispers: and no c3
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Choices, choices. Do I put up with 10...Be7 11. g4 Nh6, or do I go ahead with c5 since I'm pretty sure it doesn't fail.
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: ok i quit
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: see u guys
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: bye
Opinel(2474) whispers: bye
Bibbusque(2425) whispers: bye Opi :)
Opinel(2474) whispers: he doesn't even consider a5
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'm also going for a few minutes, going to eat. brb 10...c5 (3:50)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: 11. dxc5 Nxc5 12. g4 Nh6 is a little annoying, but I can live with it since the pawn marching may end up working against him. 11.c3 (2:28)
spendius(1810) whispers: White Queen looks in poor position ..weird setup
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I get the feeling 11...c4 just leads me down the wrong path, since I don't have the time to putz around with Qa5/b5 due to my lack of development.
spendius(1810) whispers: what if just Rc8 now ? 11...Be7 (2:54)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: If the chance is still there in a couple of moves I'll go ahead with it. 12.Be2 (0:20) O-O (0:31)
vipiu(2076) whispers: it is difficult to decide now between attacking on K side or 00
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: If he allows it, c4 comes next move.
vipiu(2076) whispers: maybe I can combine them 13.O-O (1:10)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: The only question I have right now is whether closing the center off can be done without provoking a K-side pawn storm.
vipiu(2076) whispers: now I can also take on c5, followed by Nd5
spendius(1810) whispers: no rook in c8 ? look kinda good to me ..
vipiu(2076) whispers: or g4 h3...
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Apparently if I need it I have g4 Nh6 h3 Kh8 as a resource, with Ng8 and then f6 likely works.
CrazyHunter(1886) whispers: how about dxc5, Nxc5 g4 Nh6 Nd4 with the white bishop holding g4 13...c4 (2:58) 14.Nbd2 (0:21)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I need to be able to prevent Nh4 if I'm going to put together this defensive sequence. 14...Qd8 (0:42)
vipiu(2076) whispers: now I must go for K side attack, center is blocked a bit
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Now 15. g4 Nh6 16. h3 Kh8 doesn't have a white Nh4 resource to prevent my Ng8/f6 idea.
JoshuaR(1537) whispers: BPaulsen's games often seem to turn into closed games.
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Once the K-side is taken care of I intend to play ...b5/...b4.
vipiu(2076) whispers: g4 Nh4 NxN BxN f5 and hmm...
vipiu(2076) whispers: so g4 Nh6 h3... 15.g4 (2:56) Nh6 (0:02) 16.h3 (1:10) Kh8 (0:08)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Continuing on with the plan. 17.Qe1 (1:34)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I guess he really wants to play Nh4
vipiu(2076) whispers: damn, the football started
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'm not sure Nh4xg6 is even a gain for him assuming I reply with fxg6 17...b5 (3:04)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'll just continue on with Q-side play since I can't stop it anyway.
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: And if he wants my light squared bishop that bad, he can have it.
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: I would consider Bh4 here, something wrong with it? 18.Nh4 (1:31)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: By putting everything into Nh4 he essentially abandoned any pawn roller idea, I think. 18...b4 (0:13)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: If he can find a way to achieve f5 without playing Nxg6, I'm screwed. If he can't achieve it, I'm doing perfectly fine. 19.Nxg6+ (3:12) fxg6 (0:00)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'm perfectly happy with my position now.
vipiu(2076) whispers: considering Nxc4
Opinel(2474) whispers: i'm back
vipiu(2076) whispers: Nxc4 pxc4 Bxc4 Rxf4 Bxe6 and I have my chances 20.Nxc4 (4:52)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Wow.
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: hmm, can black ignore the sacrifice and play Rxf4?
Twikki(2021) whispers: Qb6 looks more likely than Rxf4
xivarmy(1986) whispers: he could - but i think he should take it and play Qb6 personally
Twikki(2021) whispers: in vipiu's line
Opinel(2474) whispers: doesn't look that amazing really
gile(1786) whispers: it looks amazing to me .. if it counts ... :) 20...dxc4 (2:05) 21.Bxc4 (0:00)
Opinel(2474) whispers: dxc4 Bxc4 ok then bxc3 Qxc3 and then there are a few tries
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: No choic but to accept it, now comes the hard part.
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rc8 just seems good to me
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: ah, vipiu used premove on Bxc4 :D
Opinel(2474) whispers: i think that bxc3 is fine now
Opinel(2474) whispers: if Qx then Rc8 and if bx then Qb6
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bxe6 cxb2 is just too dangerous to ignore
Twikki(2021) whispers: stuff like Qb6 d5 Qc7 de Nxe5 doesn't look good for white 21...Qb6 (6:33)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Can't let him take e6, thankfully c4 is hanging in case of d5
Opinel(2474) whispers: white does have chances for sure after bxc3 bxc3 Qb6 Rb1 Qc6 Bb6 Qc7 Qe4
Opinel(2474) whispers: pretty much the same plan
xivarmy(1986) whispers: why Qc6 first instead of Qc7 directly?
Opinel(2474) whispers: because you want to divert the bishop away from attacking the pawn
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Given how poorly coordinated my pieces are, I'm going to get in a lot of trouble if he gets a third pawn for the piece to get with his space and B pair.
Opinel(2474) whispers: but i think that maybe his Qb6 is just better because white has less activity
xivarmy(1986) whispers: right, for Qb6 - but after d5 why Qc6 instead of Qc7
Opinel(2474) whispers: there was no d5 in my line
xivarmy(1986) whispers: ah right ok :)
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't really see how white is going to get anything here
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: If I can consolidated with bxc3, Qc6, Nb6-d5 things are great. Getting there is going to be a pain.
Opinel(2474) whispers: Be3 or Qe4 seems forced
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Right now the saving grace is the fact he has to waste time on f4 at some point.
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: I m back here!
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't know why he is so scared, i don't see a way for white to improve.
Opinel(2474) whispers: especially when black has g5 himself at some point
asturia(1826) whispers: white should defend f pawn
Opinel(2474) whispers: d5 is nothing as well. after Qc7 d6? Qxc4 dxe7 Rfe8 is fine
Twikki(2021) whispers: Qe3 might be an option... Rac8 is a problem for white after Qe4
Opinel(2474) whispers: or Bb3 exd5 Bxd5 Rad8 is good for black
vipiu(2076) whispers: no ideas, I will have to wait and defend a bit 22.Be3 (8:59)
Opinel(2474) whispers: best move
Opinel(2474) whispers: also trying to stop g5
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rac8
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I don't see anything else positive except the consolidation plan. 22...Qc6 (1:05)
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't like Qc6 23.Be2 (0:30)
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: why not Qb3 for white?
Opinel(2474) whispers: white can open the file and attack. rac8 was better
Opinel(2474) whispers: also now he is threatning Bf3
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: That doesn't prevent it... 23...Nb6 (0:35)
Opinel(2474) whispers: what?
Opinel(2474) whispers: there is no Qb3
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: ok
spendius(1810) whispers: Bf3 seems to hurt now ..
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Nd5
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't understand the q is on e1 how can she go to b3?
Twikki(2021) whispers: c4
xivarmy(1986) whispers: c4!?
spendius(1810) whispers: Bf3 Nd5 c4
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: yeah, sure.. lol 24.c4 (1:51)
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes c4 is good
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Well, that does prevent it. No more Nd5. :))
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bryan, you're dropping the ball!
vipiu(2076) whispers: it is a must to enter in this tactics with c4, as after Nd5 he is very good 24...Rac8 (0:41) 25.b3 (0:15)
Opinel(2474) whispers: oh boy
Opinel(2474) whispers: white is good now
vipiu(2076) whispers: my pawn formation is cute, I have all 8 pawns
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: This is going to get ugly fast if I don't do something energetic soon.
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: once d5 is done, white can win this
Opinel(2474) whispers: you had energetic moves, you just didn't play them! =)
vipiu(2076) whispers: a plan might be R on d file, Bf3 and d5
Opinel(2474) whispers: littlemomo ha ha, this is a fantastic name 25...a5 (2:25)
vipiu(2076) whispers: I think the position is interesting, I am not lost yet
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bf3! 26.Bf3 (0:22) Qc7 (0:18)
vipiu(2076) whispers: as I said, Rd1 and push
Opinel(2474) whispers: d5!!
vipiu(2076) whispers: maybe I do not even need Rd1
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rd1 also good yes
Opinel(2474) whispers: white is winning
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: My hats off to my opponent, 20. Nxc4 was awesome. Totally blindsided me.
KiranY(2063) whispers: d5 bc5?
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: Na, I think its better to wait and to preparate d5. it gives square c5 for Bc5 and later there appears a N!
Twikki(2021) whispers: d5 Bc5 and the f4 pawn is loose
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bc5 d6
vipiu(2076) whispers: d5 Bc5 d6 BxB+ QxB Qc5 hmm...
Opinel(2474) whispers: but yes Rd1 is indeed better
KiranY(2063) whispers: yes
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I need to start looking for ways to return the piece. 27.Rd1 (2:24)
vipiu(2076) whispers: he is annoying fast
Opinel(2474) whispers: maybe also Rc1 so d5 is a discovered attack 27...Nd7 (0:52)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: The only way I can think of trying to return it is waiting on d5 in order to play Nxe5 if the circumstances are right.
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't see it happening
Opinel(2474) whispers: white will still have a passed pawn
Opinel(2474) whispers: which will be winning non the less
vipiu(2076) whispers: hmm, d5 now, Bc5 d6 and similar with before
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: ...g5/...Nf7/sacrifice on e5 comes to mind as well. 28.d5 (1:51)
vipiu(2076) whispers: not great but I do not see anythng better and I do not want to wait for him to bring the other N into game
Twikki(2021) whispers: Bc5 d6 Qa7 and f4 is loose
asturia(1826) whispers: white's king could go to a safer place...
xivarmy(1986) whispers: Bc5 dxe possibly?
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Sacrifice doesn't work here, unfortunately, it just loses.
Twikki(2021) whispers: Bg2 would have been a good preparatory move
Opinel(2474) whispers: the problem was 22...Qc6?! (instead of the energetic Rac8) and then the really bad move 23... Nb6? that allowed c4. before that white had nothing and black was just better
Jammes(1899) whispers: qf2 comes to my mind preparing d5 28...exd5 (1:59)
vipiu(2076) whispers: hmm, I like this
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'm reasonably sure I'm much worse now.
vipiu(2076) whispers: pxp works, Rxp not bad either
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rxd5 is bad
Funkmaus(2208) whispers: to me makes only cxd5 sense
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes
Opinel(2474) whispers: then Bc5 only defence
vipiu(2076) whispers: they say 2 connected passedpawns on the 6th are about a rook, so on 5th are not bad either 29.cxd5 (2:25) Bc5 (0:02) 30.Bg2 (0:15)
Opinel(2474) whispers: ???
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I expected the simple Bxc5 where I'm just struggling
Opinel(2474) whispers: Ng2?
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bg2?*
Jammes(1899) whispers: oh wasnt at actual position
xivarmy(1986) whispers: probably worried about his f-pawn
vipiu(2076) whispers: my time might become a problem, especially that the match break has finished
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: This may be my one and only choice to play ...g5 and break up his pawns.
Opinel(2474) whispers: this is sad if white will lose his advantage because of time
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes g5!
Twikki(2021) whispers: hmm... g5 fg Nxg4 hg Nxe5
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Yes, this is the chance to return the piece and shatter his pawns. If I don't do it now, I'm going to lose this. 30...g5 (1:33)
eastorwest(1783) whispers: d6
Opinel(2474) whispers: black also has Qa7 and Rxf4 and this can be a draw after all
Twikki(2021) whispers: e6 is possible
vipiu(2076) whispers: I like fxg5...
Opinel(2474) whispers: e6 Qa7!?
Twikki(2021) whispers: not sure what black has after e6 Qa7 Bf2
Opinel(2474) whispers: like i said
Opinel(2474) whispers: Rxf4
Twikki(2021) whispers: knight is hanging there
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: 31. fxg5 Nxg4 and after that Nxe5
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes it is
vipiu(2076) whispers: I am losing my pawns :(
Opinel(2474) whispers: that is the point, giving back the knight but black can then draw 31.fxg5 (4:05) Nxg4 (0:02)
xivarmy(1986) whispers: doesn't white get to keep the one passed d-pawn extra in that line though, still some winning chances it seems
Twikki(2021) whispers: e6 Bxe3+ Qxe3 gxf4 looked better than Qa7 to me
Opinel(2474) whispers: exN Bxf2+ Rxf2 Rcf8 32.Rxf8+ (0:32)
Twikki(2021) whispers: moot point now 32...Rxf8 (0:08) 33.hxg4 (0:21)
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I should be relatively safe even with the pawn minus. 33...Nxe5 (0:04)
Opinel(2474) whispers: black is ok now
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: This still beats the hell out of having two center passed pawns running down my throat.
Twikki(2021) whispers: black may even be better here with white's weak king position
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: For the first time all game I actually have threats of my own.
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't know if black is better, maybe a bit but white can defend
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: Still have the feeling I was lost if he played 30. Bxc5 instead of 30. Bg2. 34.Qe2 (2:48)
Opinel(2474) whispers: d6 Bxd6 Qe2 defends the pawn then if black tries again Bc5 Bxc5 and white is defending
Twikki(2021) whispers: i don't see a move which prevents Nxg4
Opinel(2474) whispers: oh my 34...Bxe3+ (0:20)
Opinel(2474) whispers: no
Opinel(2474) whispers: no
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I get my pawn back now.
Opinel(2474) whispers: Nf3+
Opinel(2474) whispers: Nf3_ was good
vipiu(2076) whispers: damn
Opinel(2474) whispers: this is why d6
Opinel(2474) whispers: forcing the B to Bxd6
Opinel(2474) whispers: then Qe2 would protect g4 35.Kh1 (1:19)
Opinel(2474) whispers: doesn't matter now, white is lost
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: ?! 35...Bc5 (0:32)
Twikki(2021) whispers: I guess white thought he was getting mated after Qxe3 Nxg4
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I'll just retreat and keep my piece then...
Opinel(2474) whispers: he had d5 still
Opinel(2474) whispers: otherwise, yes
vipiu(2076) whispers: damn, I just lost a picee :(
BPaulsen(2383) whispers: I know 35. Qxe3 Nxg4 threatened Qh2++ mate, but still it made more sense than just giving away a piece. 36.Rc1 (0:43)
Opinel(2474) whispers: Bc5 was a bit akward as well, why not Bxg5 36...Ng6 (0:42)
Opinel(2474) whispers: mmm, Qb5 37.Qb5 (0:48) Rc8 (0:11) 38.d6 (0:19) Qxd6 (0:04)
eastorwest(1783) whispers: d6 39.Bb7 (0:02)
Twikki(2021) whispers: naked white king... can probably pitch the bishop for a mate
Opinel(2474) whispers: Qg3
vipiu(2076) whispers: my time trouble was a bit annoying, not sure if it was the real reason but I blundered just when I was around 2-3 minutes on my clock :(
Opinel(2474) whispers: yes, i don't like wins on time 39...Rc7 (1:29) 40.Bg2 (0:24)
spendius(1810) whispers: you guys spend 5 minutes per games whispering :P sometimes you have to regret it 40...Qf8 (0:27)
spendius(1810) whispers: but goota admit ..whispering is fun
Opinel(2474) whispers: i don't know what he is doing anymore
AKFan(1887) whispers: white should resign
vipiu(2076) whispers: and I do not even know where exactly I blundered... :(
AKFan(1887) whispers: paulsen goes for Qc8
NegativeNirvana(1787) whispers: on move 1? 41.Qxa5 (0:02) Bb6 (0:10)
Opinel(2474) whispers: pfff vipiu resigns 0-1
