1.e4 (0:00) c5 (0:00)
sweetarianna(2089) whispers: hi all 2.Nf3 (0:07) Nc6 (0:03) 3.d4 (0:09) cxd4 (0:04) 4.Nxd4 (0:03) e5 (0:12) 5.Nb3 (0:11) Nf6 (0:33) 6.Bg5 (0:52)
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: go sweetie 6...Be7 (1:04) 7.Nc3 (0:44)
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: hmm, is Nxe4 possible??
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: Nxe4 Bxe7 Nxc3 Bxd8 Nxd1 Bc7 Nxb2 a4 7...d6 (5:15) 8.Bb5 (0:30) a6 (1:01) 9.Bd3 (0:21) Be6 (0:33) 10.Qd2 (0:43) Qc7 (1:00) 11.Bxf6 (0:59) gxf6 (1:11) 12.Nd5 (0:10) Qd8 (1:48) 13.Qh6 (1:02)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Saw, SheRocks lost this round regardless of this game's outcome.
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: so Gara, when will you activate your rating again?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Unsure, might try for winter.
GaraE(1490) whispers: Just enjoying observing chess :)
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: Is 5.Nb3 theory? (I thought Nb5 was pretty much unvariably played there) 13...f5 (6:05) 14.Qg7 (0:52)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Seems to really force Rf8.
GaraE(1490) whispers: Well, no.. could play Kd7 I suppose.
tjradd(2210) whispers: black's gf6 is probably bad in this variation 14...Kd7 (1:25)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Yeah Kd7 seems to squiggle out of this mean headlock. 15.c4 (0:42)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Isn't Rg8 now pretty good?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Even with Qxh7, the Rxg2 incursion hrm.
GaraE(1490) whispers: Rg8 Qxh7 Rxg2 Bf1 Qg8 Qxg8 Rxg8?
tjradd(2210) whispers: rg8 qh7 rg2 ef5 is interesting
tjradd(2210) whispers: if ... bd5 cd5 n-somewhere, f6!
tjradd(2210) whispers: and if Bf6 then Qh3+ wins rook
GaraE(1490) whispers: :(
GaraE(1490) whispers: Well, nice at least ;)
tjradd(2210) whispers: the n-somewhere is b4, and sure maybe something could come of NxB+ maybe is exchange for pawn
GaraE(1490) whispers: And there's Nxd3+ followed by Nf4.
GaraE(1490) whispers: Which covers h3.
GaraE(1490) whispers: Could be a response to f6 instead of Bxf6.
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: f4 to stop the exf5 shenanigans?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Looks like the exf5 stuff doesn't turn into advantage in the end as long black played Nb4, since that earns him a tempo. 15...fxe4 (8:53)
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: that's also a method to stop exf5 16.Bxe4 (1:08)
tjradd(2210) whispers: black perp
tjradd(2210) whispers: black has Q-perp ideas:)
GaraE(1490) whispers: hm? 16...Rg8 (2:54) 17.Qxh7 (0:50) Rh8 (0:13) 18.Qg7 (0:09) Rg8 (0:02) 19.Qh6 (0:10) f5 (0:05) 20.Bb1 (1:01)
tjradd(2210) whispers: hrm
tjradd(2210) whispers: eliminates o-o-o ideas
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: didn't like Nb4/d4 tempo gaining ideas on the bishop I guess
GaraE(1490) whispers: Yeah, seems like the situation may soon favor black.
tjradd(2210) whispers: wonder about Bf3
tjradd(2210) whispers: Bf3 e4 Nf4
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: can black play Bxc4 on that?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Looks like a yes.
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: Rg2 Qh3 Rg5 f4 i guess
tjradd(2210) whispers: maybe mad:)
tjradd(2210) whispers: still, I'd play it:)
GaraE(1490) whispers: And white would have problems I think, at the end.
GaraE(1490) whispers: Can't be good to have f5 + e4 and a rook bearing down on g2, with Qh3+ being cut off by the f5 pawn.
tjradd(2210) whispers: what is white going to do after Rg2
tjradd(2210) whispers: I play in an hour :)
tjradd(2210) whispers: mistell
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: loltell
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: a thinly veiled tell telling the players to finish within the next hour? ;)
tjradd(2210) whispers: lol!
GaraE(1490) whispers: Rxg2 c5 perhaps?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Primarily yearning for cxd6 or dxc5 Nxc5 Bxc5.
tjradd(2210) whispers: fearless
GaraE(1490) whispers: If that bishop sidetracks, then Nf6+ works.
tjradd(2210) whispers: Rg2 c5 Bd5 Bf5 Kc7 cd6 Qd6 and? 20...Rxg2 (7:07)
tjradd(2210) whispers: maybe one piece short, garae:p
GaraE(1490) whispers: For sure :P
GaraE(1490) whispers: Bxd5 kinda crimped that line!
milpat(1797) whispers: what about Ne3?
tjradd(2210) whispers: Ne3 is tasty
tjradd(2210) whispers: what about a xombie-sac
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: something like Qg8?
tjradd(2210) whispers: leaves white paralyzed
milpat(1797) whispers: i dont see any Rxp possible... :)
tjradd(2210) whispers: will pick up c4 21.Bd3 (1:55)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Why wasn't Bd3 done instead of Bb1? :(
milpat(1797) whispers: Ne3 was covering c4, no?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Not sure, but this runs into Nb4.
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: a sign of a good player not being afraid to admit the mistake and play the move which should have been played previously (a great player plays it the first time and I usually realise the move after the game ;) )
GaraE(1490) whispers: Well maybe not.
tjradd(2210) whispers: milpat: Qg8 and if Ng2 Qg2 white was toast
tjradd(2210) whispers: I see Qb6 nastiness
GaraE(1490) whispers: Qb6 Nxb6 atm, going to have to drive off that knight.. and Bxd5 is certainly easy, but leading to Bxf5+?
milpat(1797) whispers: ok Qg8, tnx (again) tj
tjradd(2210) whispers: I was thinking aloud about Nb4 :p
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: tjradd, you mean toast as something very negative, right? Because on a cycling forum I frequent some Aussie used being toast as being good
tjradd(2210) whispers: well milpat we never said white had to nxr :p
GaraE(1490) whispers: Nb4 Nxb4 Qb6, I see. :) That certainly works, was wondering how to make Nb4 work.
tjradd(2210) whispers: toast=dead to me:)
tjradd(2210) whispers: cooked goose
tjradd(2210) whispers: one outer? :) 21...b5 (3:03)
milpat(1797) whispers: Qg8 support same time B's diago and R,s-file was strong
tjradd(2210) whispers: well we know where black's king is going
tjradd(2210) whispers: - nowhere :p
GaraE(1490) whispers: He built himself a Fort Knoxx. :P
tjradd(2210) whispers: qh3 any good? 22.h4 (1:15)
tjradd(2210) whispers: queening h-pawn might be really slow
GaraE(1490) whispers: Nd4 perhaps
GaraE(1490) whispers: Threatens some stuff, guards f5, to allow Bxd5 soon.
tjradd(2210) whispers: rg4 has some merit
GaraE(1490) whispers: f3 square looking delectable.
BlindRobot(2181) whispers: does she realize its not a blitz game?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Hm, maybe not. Seems like Nxd4 Qa5+ goes nowhere after b4. 22...bxc4 (2:59)
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: she needs to gain more minutes to match Blitsmir earlier today 23.Bxc4 (0:11)
tjradd(2210) whispers: ok, how about Rg4 here, since not the previous:)
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: after Rg4, is Nb6+ Qxb6 Qxe6+ playable? 23...Rg4 (0:56)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Rg4 Nb6+ Qxb6 Qxe6+ though
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: are u interested in a good spanking, madman?
BlindRobot(2181) whispers: maybe na5
GaraE(1490) whispers: Bah beaten to it :p
tjradd(2210) whispers: yes is it any good
tjradd(2210) whispers: or just Kc7
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: already got one from you the other day in the tourney :(
GaraE(1490) whispers: Bd5 there threatens c6 which is now pinned to queen.
GaraE(1490) whispers: Though Nd4 threatens back white's queen hrm.
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: i know i am playing too fast, but at least i win sometimes
tjradd(2210) whispers: yes, but king still on e1 is also fun
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: that was really mean. I like it :D
GaraE(1490) whispers: And I mispoke on pin, meant rook.
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: nb6 looks forced 24.Nb6+ (2:23)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Looks to work, even Nd4 won't do since Qxe7+ there.
xombie(1916) whispers: tough :)
tjradd(2210) whispers: I don't see a plus?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Hi Xombie :)
xombie(1916) whispers: hello gara and all
xombie(1916) whispers: seems like white needs more pieces
tjradd(2210) whispers: Kc7 might run into Rc1, so I may need to amend Kc7
GaraE(1490) whispers: Line would possibly be Qxb6 Qxe6+ Kc7 Bd5 Qb4+ just to rob him of castling or to force Nd2.
xombie(1916) whispers: interesting is Qxb6 Qxe6+ Kc7 0-0-0
tjradd(2210) whispers: Qb6 Qe6 Ke8!? Bd5 Qb4+
tjradd(2210) whispers: and if Nd2 then Nd4! 24...Qxb6 (3:42) 25.Qxe6+ (0:04)
tjradd(2210) whispers: worst case they trade a-rooks, in that line
GaraE(1490) whispers: I like Ke8 more, certainly avoids leaving the bishop hung.
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: Kk1 after Qb4
xombie(1916) whispers: Kd8 ends checks for the moment 25...Kc7 (0:38)
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: bd5 looks ok 26.Bd5 (0:22)
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: re8 is a strong reply tho
xombie(1916) whispers: yeah maybe Kd8 was better for this reason
milpat(1797) whispers: c file looks danger
tjradd(2210) whispers: Kd8 here feels necessary
xombie(1916) whispers: as it just gives white tempi
xombie(1916) whispers: how about a perp attempt with Qb5+?
xombie(1916) whispers: Qb4+ Kf1 Qb5+ Bc4 Qb6 26...Qb4+ (2:26)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Yeah, though there's Nd2. 27.Nd2 (0:39)
GaraE(1490) whispers: The problem would be the threat of Bxc6 leaving Be7 hung, and the potential for a surprise castling.
tjradd(2210) whispers: Nd2 Rd4 I guess
GaraE(1490) whispers: f5 is also currently hanging.
tjradd(2210) whispers: this is tiring to calculate
xombie(1916) whispers: yes, and if 0-0-0 then Qc5+ Bc4 d5 27...Rd4 (1:06) 28.Rd1 (0:15)
xombie(1916) whispers: exchange sac possible?
xombie(1916) whispers: or necessary
tjradd(2210) whispers: Re8 should be ok
xombie(1916) whispers: Rxd5 Qxd5 Nd4
xombie(1916) whispers: oh no, hangs rook there
GaraE(1490) whispers: Is Qxa8 safe though? 28...Bxh4 (1:26)
tjradd(2210) whispers: how about just pounding c6 here
tjradd(2210) whispers: rxb rxr rc1
xombie(1916) whispers: dont like this move much at all
xombie(1916) whispers: on qualitative grounds
Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: tjs line looks very good
GaraE(1490) whispers: Seems to barely work against white despite white having quite a few checks on black king.
GaraE(1490) whispers: Trying to find a successful attack on the king for material after Rxh4. 29.Rxh4 (1:45) Rxh4 (0:08)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Arianna must have found it far faster than I could. :P
xombie(1916) whispers: there she goes 30.Rc1 (0:07)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Doesn't this run into Rh1+?
Aneirin(1716) whispers: B covers
GaraE(1490) whispers: Nvm bishop.
Aneirin(1716) whispers: (I thought the same thing)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Yeah.
xombie(1916) whispers: just goes to show that you dont need a 45 sec inc to see small tactical details
GaraE(1490) whispers: Looks like a cleanly won piece.
Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: Arianna must have seen it when she played Rxh4 though
GaraE(1490) whispers: And with check so can't take advantage of interim moves for black.
Aneirin(1716) whispers: check may be the least of his problems :)
GaraE(1490) whispers: May live on with exchange sacrifice simply
GaraE(1490) whispers: With Re4+
tjradd(2210) whispers: heh
tjradd(2210) whispers: Re4+ and Kd1!
xombie(1916) whispers: ah so Kc7 was blunderous
xombie(1916) whispers: no, Kc7 was ?!
GaraE(1490) whispers: Darn Kd1 :P
xombie(1916) whispers: while Bxh4 was ?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Yeah, even though Rxh4 puts white's king in danger, he just happens to have everything perfectly laid out to keep his king safe.
xombie(1916) whispers: i use a different keyboard
xombie(1916) whispers: mis* 30...Re4+ (5:01)
tjradd(2210) whispers: Kc7 maybe ?! but Bh4 ?
milpat(1797) whispers: oh!
GaraE(1490) whispers: If he played that knowing Kd1 leaves black still in serious trouble, that's desperation. :P 31.Bxe4 (0:31)
StrategyMaster(1844) whispers: what is this?
GaraE(1490) whispers: Oh oh it worked 31...fxe4 (0:03)
tjradd(2210) whispers: actually there is supercute bxr fe qe7+ and then Qd7, and N is still pinned
GaraE(1490) whispers: Oh?
tjradd(2210) whispers: (against mate)
sweetarianna(2089) whispers: game over... 32.Qe7+ (0:51)
GaraE(1490) whispers: That's a nice end 32...Kb6 (0:42)
sweetarianna(2089) whispers: thx all to be here:)
tjradd(2210) whispers: well :o 33.Qd7 (0:31)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Hm the mate is?
xombie(1916) whispers: rook he's among the most enthusiastic TMs
GaraE(1490) whispers: Let's say Nd4
tjradd(2210) whispers: garae, a4+ and then ra1 33...Na5 (1:59)
GaraE(1490) whispers: So it'd be Nd4 Qc7+ Kb5 a4+ Kxa4 Ra1+ Kb5? Still seems escapable.
GaraE(1490) whispers: I'm just missing it, I'll have to watch it play out if black doesn't resign. :)
tjradd(2210) whispers: then qb7+ and rc1+ 34.Qc7+ (0:35) Kb5 (0:05) 35.a3 (0:26) Qd4 (0:11)
tjradd(2210) whispers: Nb1! :) 36.b4 (0:35)
GaraE(1490) whispers: Nice, mating on Qa5. FESfW resigns 1-0

Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: already got one from you the other day in the tourney :(

GaraE(1490) whispers: Bd5 there threatens c6 which is now pinned to queen.

GaraE(1490) whispers: Though Nd4 threatens back white's queen hrm.

Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: i know i am playing too fast, but at least i win sometimes

tjradd(2210) whispers: yes, but king still on e1 is also fun

Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: that was really mean. I like it :D

GaraE(1490) whispers: And I mispoke on pin, meant rook.

Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: nb6 looks forced}
24.Nb6+ {(2:23)

GaraE(1490) whispers: Looks to work, even Nd4 won't do since Qxe7+ there.

xombie(1916) whispers: tough :)

tjradd(2210) whispers: I don't see a plus?

GaraE(1490) whispers: Hi Xombie :)

xombie(1916) whispers: hello gara and all

xombie(1916) whispers: seems like white needs more pieces

tjradd(2210) whispers: Kc7 might run into Rc1, so I may need to amend Kc7

GaraE(1490) whispers: Line would possibly be Qxb6 Qxe6+ Kc7 Bd5 Qb4+ just to rob him of castling or to force Nd2.

xombie(1916) whispers: interesting is Qxb6 Qxe6+ Kc7 0-0-0

tjradd(2210) whispers: Qb6 Qe6 Ke8!? Bd5 Qb4+

tjradd(2210) whispers: and if Nd2 then Nd4!}
24...Qxb6 {(3:42)} 25.Qxe6+ {(0:04)

tjradd(2210) whispers: worst case they trade a-rooks, in that line

GaraE(1490) whispers: I like Ke8 more, certainly avoids leaving the bishop hung.

Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: Kk1 after Qb4

xombie(1916) whispers: Kd8 ends checks for the moment}
25...Kc7 {(0:38)

Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: bd5 looks ok}
26.Bd5 {(0:22)

Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: re8 is a strong reply tho

xombie(1916) whispers: yeah maybe Kd8 was better for this reason

milpat(1797) whispers: c file looks danger

tjradd(2210) whispers: Kd8 here feels necessary

xombie(1916) whispers: as it just gives white tempi

xombie(1916) whispers: how about a perp attempt with Qb5+?

xombie(1916) whispers: Qb4+ Kf1 Qb5+ Bc4 Qb6}
26...Qb4+ {(2:26)

GaraE(1490) whispers: Yeah, though there's Nd2.}
27.Nd2 {(0:39)

GaraE(1490) whispers: The problem would be the threat of Bxc6 leaving Be7 hung, and the potential for a surprise castling.

tjradd(2210) whispers: Nd2 Rd4 I guess

GaraE(1490) whispers: f5 is also currently hanging.

tjradd(2210) whispers: this is tiring to calculate

xombie(1916) whispers: yes, and if 0-0-0 then Qc5+ Bc4 d5}
27...Rd4 {(1:06)} 28.Rd1 {(0:15)

xombie(1916) whispers: exchange sac possible?

xombie(1916) whispers: or necessary

tjradd(2210) whispers: Re8 should be ok

xombie(1916) whispers: Rxd5 Qxd5 Nd4

xombie(1916) whispers: oh no, hangs rook there

GaraE(1490) whispers: Is Qxa8 safe though?}
28...Bxh4 {(1:26)

tjradd(2210) whispers: how about just pounding c6 here

tjradd(2210) whispers: rxb rxr rc1

xombie(1916) whispers: dont like this move much at all

xombie(1916) whispers: on qualitative grounds

Ismirdochegal(2073) whispers: tjs line looks very good

GaraE(1490) whispers: Seems to barely work against white despite white having quite a few checks on black king.

GaraE(1490) whispers: Trying to find a successful attack on the king for material after Rxh4.}
29.Rxh4 {(1:45)} Rxh4 {(0:08)

GaraE(1490) whispers: Arianna must have found it far faster than I could. :P

xombie(1916) whispers: there she goes}
30.Rc1 {(0:07)

GaraE(1490) whispers: Doesn't this run into Rh1+?

Aneirin(1716) whispers: B covers

GaraE(1490) whispers: Nvm bishop.

Aneirin(1716) whispers: (I thought the same thing)

GaraE(1490) whispers: Yeah.

xombie(1916) whispers: just goes to show that you dont need a 45 sec inc to see small tactical details

GaraE(1490) whispers: Looks like a cleanly won piece.

Madmansreturn(2001) whispers: Arianna must have seen it when she played Rxh4 though

GaraE(1490) whispers: And with check so can't take advantage of interim moves for black.

Aneirin(1716) whispers: check may be the least of his problems :)

GaraE(1490) whispers: May live on with exchange sacrifice simply

GaraE(1490) whispers: With Re4+

tjradd(2210) whispers: heh

tjradd(2210) whispers: Re4+ and Kd1!

xombie(1916) whispers: ah so Kc7 was blunderous

xombie(1916) whispers: no, Kc7 was ?!

GaraE(1490) whispers: Darn Kd1 :P

xombie(1916) whispers: while Bxh4 was ?

GaraE(1490) whispers: Yeah, even though Rxh4 puts white's king in danger, he just happens to have everything perfectly laid out to keep his king safe.

xombie(1916) whispers: i use a different keyboard

xombie(1916) whispers: mis*}
30...Re4+ {(5:01)

tjradd(2210) whispers: Kc7 maybe ?! but Bh4 ?

milpat(1797) whispers: oh!

GaraE(1490) whispers: If he played that knowing Kd1 leaves black still in serious trouble, that's desperation. :P}
31.Bxe4 {(0:31)

StrategyMaster(1844) whispers: what is this?

GaraE(1490) whispers: Oh oh it worked}
31...fxe4 {(0:03)

tjradd(2210) whispers: actually there is supercute bxr fe qe7+ and then Qd7, and N is still pinned

GaraE(1490) whispers: Oh?

tjradd(2210) whispers: (against mate)

sweetarianna(2089) whispers: game over...}
32.Qe7+ {(0:51)

GaraE(1490) whispers: That's a nice end}
32...Kb6 {(0:42)

sweetarianna(2089) whispers: thx all to be here:)

tjradd(2210) whispers: well :o}
33.Qd7 {(0:31)

GaraE(1490) whispers: Hm the mate is?

xombie(1916) whispers: rook he's among the most enthusiastic TMs

GaraE(1490) whispers: Let's say Nd4

tjradd(2210) whispers: garae, a4+ and then ra1}
33...Na5 {(1:59)

GaraE(1490) whispers: So it'd be Nd4 Qc7+ Kb5 a4+ Kxa4 Ra1+ Kb5? Still seems escapable.

GaraE(1490) whispers: I'm just missing it, I'll have to watch it play out if black doesn't resign. :)

tjradd(2210) whispers: then qb7+ and rc1+}
34.Qc7+ {(0:35)} Kb5 {(0:05)} 35.a3 {(0:26)} Qd4 {(0:11)

tjradd(2210) whispers: Nb1! :)}
36.b4 {(0:35)

GaraE(1490) whispers: Nice, mating on Qa5.}
