1.c4 (0:00) c5 (0:00) 2.Nf3 (0:08) Nc6 (0:04) 3.Nc3 (0:25) g6 (0:19) 4.d4 (0:03) cxd4 (0:05) 5.Nxd4 (0:02) Bg7 (0:07) 6.Nc2 (2:24)
maeck(1905) whispers: whose idea was it to schedule for this time of the day?
Mahog(1736) whispers: I bet, between them they conjured this up
PankracyRozumek(1703) whispers: koff is from finland and defiled from new zealand. 6...Nf6 (1:38)
Mahog(1736) whispers: so for defiled is about8pm
Mahog(1736) whispers: all ur mates play the English blacky?
PankracyRozumek(1703) whispers: and 9:46am for Koff. Quite playable :-).
maeck(1905) whispers: i don't think i ve ever seen Koff at this time of the day, i hope he s at least somewhat awake
Koff(1978) whispers: this looks like some English variation reversed
Koff(1978) whispers: named after the famous pianist, perhaps
Mahog(1736) whispers: Liberace?
maeck(1905) whispers: haha
Mahog(1736) whispers: who then?
maeck(1905) whispers: it was a joke
maeck(1905) whispers: Rubinstein
Mahog(1736) whispers: ah... jokes - I get jokes
Mahog(1736) whispers: thx
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: looks like a reversed Rubinstein to me, hello mahog
Mahog(1736) whispers: hi Blacky
maeck(1905) whispers: and no, not all of cat's mateys play the English
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: ;)
Mahog(1736) whispers: hehehe
Mahog(1736) whispers: actually I don't know how to..
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: incidentally, I prefer g3 before d4 in this opening
Mahog(1736) whispers: some like g3 2nd move too?
Mahog(1736) whispers: spose that's a different variation
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: yeah
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: its very much a matter of taste
Mahog(1736) whispers: what's the idea of this Nc2?
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: usually to follow with e4
Mahog(1736) whispers: taste - i've heard of that too
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: hehe
Mahog(1736) whispers: ok e4
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: white tries to cramp black in this line, so Nc2 prevents an exchange of knights
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: the guy with more space wants to avoid trades 7.e4 (8:22)
Mahog(1736) whispers: ok
Mahog(1736) whispers: nice one to remember 7...d6 (0:30) 8.Be2 (0:04)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: now it will probably be Be2 Bg5 Qd2 and 0-0
Mahog(1736) whispers: ok
Mahog(1736) whispers: and the e pawn? 8...O-O (0:27) 9.O-O (0:02)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: e-pawn is happy where it is right now
Mahog(1736) whispers: ok
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: anyway, since I know what is to come, I'll take a short break from the action ;)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: back in a bit
Mahog(1736) whispers: see ya
Mahog(1736) whispers: u can see the future? 9...Bd7 (4:35) 10.Bg5 (7:30)
Koff(1978) whispers: I've never quite understood Bg5 -lines in this kind of openings, but maybe after this game I know more :) 10...Rc8 (2:54) 11.Ne3 (7:06)
Koff(1978) whispers: If get's somehow e5+Nd4 working, that'd be funny 11...h6 (8:25) 12.Bh4 (0:10)
Koff(1978) whispers: Qd2+f4+Rad1 or so looks quite loose, but not necessarily bad way 12...Be6 (6:08) 13.Rc1 (3:37)
Koff(1978) whispers: tried to avoid this and h3, but in the end I may play both anyway 13...Qa5 (5:10)
Koff(1978) whispers: f4 Qb6, Qd2 Bxc4!?, Bf2 (Bxc4 Ng4?!) Bxe2, Nf5 Qa6 looks inadequate to me..
RxR(1694) whispers: I wonder if instead of Qa5 the risky g5 Bg3 Nxe4 with the idea Nxe4 f5 followed by f4 was good? 14.Kh1 (8:56)
Koff(1978) whispers: no stupid risks 14...Ne5 (4:39)
Koff(1978) whispers: very hypermodern 15.b3 (2:50) g5 (0:30) 16.Bg3 (0:10) Ng6 (0:09) 17.f3 (4:40)
Koff(1978) whispers: my position looks silly, but at least I can argue for it not having bigger weaknesses
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: looks like a normal maroczy bind to me
jaberwock(2082) whispers: Generally normal 17...Nh5 (2:38) 18.Be1 (0:04)
jaberwock(2082) whispers: the g5 line is among the newest twiss my black for controling dark squares 18...Qc5 (2:59) 19.Ned5 (3:44) Bxd5 (0:10) 20.Nxd5 (0:28)
Koff(1978) whispers: or exd5.. 20...Nhf4 (1:41) 21.Bb4 (0:55) Qc6 (1:27) 22.Ne3 (0:27)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: well I would worry about the weakness of f5
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: or of d6, if black has to play e6 22...Qb6 (1:27) 23.Bd2 (0:12)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: ok, e6 now works 23...e6 (0:42)
Koff(1978) whispers: now that e6 came
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: gotta work out a new plan
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: Nc2 Be3 perhaps
Koff(1978) whispers: with ..Qa6 ideas? 24.g3 (1:16)
Koff(1978) whispers: ok, let's think about that right after this
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: hmm Nxe2 Qxe2 Qa6 Bc3 Bxc3 Rxc3 d5
Koff(1978) whispers: sacing the a2 pawn would be tempting in that case
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: no, knight covers d5
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: I wouldn't sac it, cos queen remains a nuisance on a2 I think
Koff(1978) whispers: nah, I've bb4 for that 24...Nxe2 (2:24) 25.Qxe2 (0:00)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: yes Bb4 is better
Koff(1978) whispers: ..be5 could be posb 25...Bd4 (4:24)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: just Ng4? 26.Ng4 (0:49)
Koff(1978) whispers: with ..bg7, f4 h5, f5!? 26...Kh7 (1:20)
Koff(1978) whispers: oh yes... he's counting on opening diagonal - heh
RxR(1694) whispers: f5 next and black lloks better to me
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: maybe Qg2 f5 Nxh6 Kxh6 Qh3+ Kg7 Bxg5
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: nah, just Rh8 there
RxR(1694) whispers: Rh8 allows Qxf5 there though
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: ah, yes
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: well Qg2 looks like the move to me 27.Rcd1 (6:24)
maeck(1905) whispers: was just going to say that, i like Rcd1
RxR(1694) whispers: I would have preferred Rce1 to prop up the e file now that black plays f5
Koff(1978) whispers: suddenly the last game of Anand-Topalov flashed in my mind 27...f5 (1:38)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: Be3 now
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: Be3 Bxe3 exf5! exf5 Nxe3
RxR(1694) whispers: Be3 looks good. I missed that
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: that's the point of Rcd1, I think
maeck(1905) whispers: white looks ok, but he should speed up 28.Ne3 (2:36)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: well, that isnt so great
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: though fxe4 fxe4 etc leaves black with a slightly weak king position
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: and f4 Ng4 fxg3 hxg3 helps white 28...f4 (1:22) 29.Nc2 (0:21) Be5 (0:04) 30.Kg2 (0:19)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: hmm
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: getting a bit wild now 30...Qc7 (1:22)
RxR(1694) whispers: black must be better now, but is just an edge 31.Bb4 (0:22) Rf7 (0:37)
Koff(1978) whispers: thank god he's his h-pawn left on board
maeck(1905) whispers: there are not fxg3 and Bxg3 c5+ ideas 32.Nd4 (0:35)
maeck(1905) whispers: now*
Koff(1978) whispers: ..Nf4 doesn't look real
Madmansreturn(1986) whispers: same variation of the MB as Cuilin vs Technika yesterday?
Koff(1978) whispers: but smth like bxg3 could be
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: hmm, what happened in that game?
Madmansreturn(1986) whispers: they took a draw in a fairly equal but unbalanced rook endgame
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: ah 32...fxg3 (3:04)
RxR(1694) whispers: i wonder if d5 is possible here
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: I wouldn't mind a draw here, but knowing Koff he'll want to squeeze out the full point 33.hxg3 (0:23)
RxR(1694) whispers: the idea is d5 exd5 exd5 cxd5 Qb6 double attack
Koff(1978) whispers: possibly i'll find it out soon
Madmansreturn(1986) whispers: there is a definite risk of white playing Nxe6 against d5 isn't it?
Koff(1978) whispers: i'm hunting mere pawn - he my king
maeck(1905) whispers: Bxg3 might work now
RxR(1694) whispers: bxg3 is interesting but I ruled it out due to Kxg3 d5 e5, maybe I should have looke d closer
Koff(1978) whispers: and taking e6 is very very time-costly
RxR(1694) whispers: probably Qd2 in the end kills d5 too 33...Re8 (3:19) 34.Nb5 (0:19)
Madmansreturn(1986) whispers: Koff is so fast I don't even have time to write my preferred move :p 34...Qb6 (0:48)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: d6 falls 35.Bxd6 (0:17) a6 (0:09)
smallblackcat(1993) whispers: Koff is an excellent blitz player 36.Bxe5 (0:28) Nxe5 (0:14) 37.Nd6 (0:13) Defiled resigns 1-0
