Login to get PGN standard 45+45, 2010-05-02
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: I hate doing this, really 4.Nf3 (0:05)
pchesso(1710) whispers: why the hate? good opening! slav players fear it, i hear
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: I thought they loathe it for being drawish?
pchesso(1710) whispers: Funkmaus at least says she has a lot of respect for it
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: you can always thwart the cunning Slav players by playing the Anti-Caro Kann with 2.e4
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: I didn't do a good job of 'playing for a draw' in the first two rounds, so this will probably backfire
jaberwock(2015) whispers: Good point, Madmansreturn; though some of us Slav palyers are Caro-Kanners. 4...Nf6 (3:16) 5.Bf4 (0:06) Nc6 (0:12)
jaberwock(2015) whispers: Transpositions can be a wicked forest.
jaberwock(2015) whispers: Hmmm. Maybe Nc3 first? 6.Nc3 (0:54) a6 (0:26) 7.e3 (0:35) Bg4 (1:57) 8.h3 (0:55) Bxf3 (0:55) 9.Qxf3 (0:03) e6 (0:00)
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: this was more or less my preparation 10.a3 (0:24)
jaberwock(2015) whispers: I used to play the fashionable 16 line as black, and it didn't take long for me to accept I didn't understand any of teh finessess. 10...Bd6 (0:32)
burnage(2221) whispers: god I hate players that play for a draw from the get go with white.
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: now here my stem game had Bg5, but maybe I should just exchange and be boring
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: otoh Bg5 does look like the better move, objectively
jaberwock(2015) whispers: I do not like the looks of white's a3 11.Bg5 (3:39)
burnage(2221) whispers: interesting a blunder... guess he realized how drawish he made the position... 11...Qb6 (1:12)
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: b4 fails to Nxb4 I believe
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: and if Rb1 Qc6
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: does b4 run into some sac?
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: took you a while to figure out eh
jaberwock(2015) whispers: # What do you mean Qc6, HM?
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: what I mean is b4 Nxb4 Rb1 Qc6 and white is pretty much lost
jaberwock(2015) whispers: I was confused on your "and if Rb1 Qc6", but then again, I have not had my coffee.
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: and if axb4 Bxb4 Rc1 Rc8 Kd2 Bxc3 Rxc3 Qb2+ and 0-1
jaberwock(2015) whispers: thanks!
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: I have a sick feeling Im meant to play 0-0-0 here, but I really don't want to
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: ~o)
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: well cat got nerve!
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: b4 Nxb4 Rb1 Nc2+ Kd2 Qa5 Kxc2 Rc8 looks terrible
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: how bad is Na4 here, I wonder
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: ok what about the grovelly Rb1
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: Ne4 and Qa5+ does not look particularly fun for white if white plays Na4
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: mm
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: in fact Qa5 Nc3 Ne4
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: but then there's Rc1?
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: sorry, missed Bg5 hanging now too
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: then Ne4 is strong, damn
burnage(2221) whispers: b4 or Qe2 dude its your only moves I think.
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: cat is not a dude
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: he's a mate
cdubz(2063) whispers: test
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: what about Qd1? If Qxb2 Na4 is unpleasant for black 12.O-O-O (16:12)
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: scary!!!
Madmansreturn(2002) whispers: I have a feeling cat will need the 9 lives now
HyperMagnus(2136) whispers: well it's a kind of move that deserves plaudits 12...Bxa3 (4:03) 13.bxa3 (0:17) Qb3 (0:03)
burnage(2221) whispers: thats one naked king.
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: basically lost already 14.e4 (4:49)
burnage(2221) whispers: hmmm e4 right away. I was calculating Rd3 Qxa3+ Kd1 Qa1+ Ke2 Qb2+ Kd1 Nb4 e4 Rc8 which should be winning for me. 14...Rc8 (1:46) 15.Kd2 (1:07)
burnage(2221) whispers: and lights out. 15...Nxd4 (0:20) 16.Qd3 (0:11) Qb2+ (0:27) 17.Ke1 (0:08) Nc2+ (0:04)
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: ah, missed that (as well as everything else in this game)! 18.Ke2 (1:12) Rxc3 (0:08)
smallblackcat(1971) whispers: Nxe4 coming soon, lets finish it now smallblackcat resigns 0-1
