1.d4 (0:00) Nf6 (0:00) 2.c4 (0:10) e6 (1:19) 3.Nc3 (0:04) Bb4 (0:07) 4.Qc2 (0:04) Nc6 (0:21) 5.a3 (0:15) Bxc3+ (0:04) 6.Qxc3 (0:02) d6 (0:29) 7.Bg5 (0:11)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: hmm, this line seems a bit superficial 7...h6 (0:35) 8.Bh4 (0:06)
maeck(1899) whispers: this looks good for black
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: dunno about that
Doubleletter(1715) whispers: fun or no fun?
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: the idea would be to follow with e5, but what about d5 Ne7 BXf6 now?
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: ah, pondering g5, no doubt
maeck(1899) whispers: i dont think Bg5 fits in well here
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: well you probably know better than me, being an ex-tangoist
maeck(1899) whispers: i'm still a Tangoist
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: I just hate these openings where you trade-off one bishop, and then make the other bishop 'good'
maeck(1899) whispers: also, this is rather a Nimzo
maeck(1899) whispers: well i love exactly that part:)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: seems very simplistic to a Francophile like me ;)
maeck(1899) whispers: it's a clear and simple plan
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: if I believed in the orthodoxy about 'bad bishops', my whole opening approach would come into question ;)
maeck(1899) whispers: well i don t believe in that either. in some openings i dont mind a bad bishop. but if there is a clear plan in the position to play for a good bishop, why not take it up
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: ah, I'm a fool
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: e5 d5 Nd4 is possible 8...g5 (4:56) 9.Bg3 (0:29)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: well Ne4 now gets the bishop back
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: and black has a lead in development, but a slightly loose kingside 9...Ne4 (1:40) 10.Qd3 (1:36)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: I wonder if f5 is playable here
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: I guess f5 e3 is fine for white though 10...f5 (1:19)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: well, full points for audacity! 11.f3 (1:13)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: seems to have paid off too
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: Nxg3 hxg3 Qf6 e3 Bd7 and black has no complaints 11...Nxg3 (2:11) 12.hxg3 (0:11) Qf6 (1:18)
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: 0-0-0 ? 13.O-O-O (2:05)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: ah yes, this is better than e3
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: still pretty equal I think, after Bd7 and 0-0-0 13...Bd7 (0:59) 14.e3 (5:03) O-O-O (1:09)
Doubleletter(1715) whispers: two timing this game and chatting with 2 girls
Doubleletter(1715) whispers: I guess that explains my rating 15.Ne2 (1:08) e5 (0:58) 16.d5 (1:27) Nb8 (2:23)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: going to c5, eh
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: so b4 seems indicated, sooner or later
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: ah, but b4 can be answered by e4
maeck(1899) whispers: yes
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: hmm, then Qd4 though
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: this is my problem with 'simple chess': it seems to result in equality
maeck(1899) whispers: hardly
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: I guess white is a bit stuck for a useful move 17.Nc3 (3:02)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: and now Na6 b4 e4 does seem to work 17...f4 (1:31)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: giving up e4?
maeck(1899) whispers: he s going the simple route again:)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: I don't follow this
maeck(1899) whispers: Ne4 Qg6 18.Ne4 (1:17)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: well ok, but what does that achieve?
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: just a 'better bishop'? 18...Qg6 (0:28)
maeck(1899) whispers: that is "something"
maeck(1899) whispers: and without any complications
nemotyro(1679) whispers: The queen goes here, doesn't it?
nemotyro(1679) whispers: No
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: I don't like giving myself a better bishop by giving the opponent a better knight at the same time
maeck(1899) whispers: Bf5 to come
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: white has time for Qd2 and Bd3 though
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: gxf4 to get rid of doubled g pawn
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: nah 19.g4 (1:38)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: g3 isn't an exploitable weakness, but if gxf4 gxf4 then g2 is one
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: though just Qd2 there, so maybe it doesn't matter
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: but g4 looks good 19...h5 (0:57)
maeck(1899) whispers: so does g5
maeck(1899) whispers: Dub is playing my moves
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: only there's a problem
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: gxh5 Rxh5 NXd6+
maeck(1899) whispers: hm right
maeck(1899) whispers: yes, saw that now
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: maybe gxh5 Qf7 though
maeck(1899) whispers: well doesnt matter
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: and round up the h5 pawn later
maeck(1899) whispers: so maybe Rh7 first and Rdh8 was better
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: also Bf5 becomes possible again
maeck(1899) whispers: lets hope he sees that Nxd6 threat at all
maeck(1899) whispers: i have my doubts
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: the problem is that gxh5 is natural here
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: whether white sees the idea or not
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: Qf7 and g5 pawn hangs
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: not good then
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: gxh5 Qg7 is all that's left 20.gxh5 (4:21) Rxh5 (0:13)
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: Nxd6+ 21.Nxd6+ (1:34)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: oh well

Doubleletter(1715) whispers: oh shit
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: 1 0 21...Qxd6 (0:22) 22.Rxh5 (0:12)
smallblackcat(2029) whispers: well you can stop watching then 22...g4 (0:30)
maeck(1899) whispers: oh dear
maeck(1899) whispers: well it's just an exchange :P 23.Qc3 (3:39) gxf3 (0:57) 24.gxf3 (0:13) Ba4 (1:11)
maeck(1899) whispers: e4 might have been a better try 25.Rd2 (1:44) Nd7 (2:12)
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: B at a5 looks trapped 26.e4 (3:27) Re8 (2:04) 27.Rdh2 (1:00) Nc5 (2:24) 28.Rh8 (4:21) Nb3+ (0:29)
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: Qxb3! 29.Kb1 (0:31) Qe7 (0:08)

lingzhi(1917) whispers: after Bh3+ Bd7
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: Bxd7+ and Q is pinned 30...Rxh8 (3:49)
Doubleletter(1715) whispers: I am awesome - not
lingzhi(1917) whispers: Bh3+ wins
Doubleletter(1715) whispers: RxQ Rh1!! then Q protects and RxB, with Nd2+ fork 31.Rxe7 (1:32)
Doubleletter(1715) whispers: or I get R+B for Q 31...Rh1 (0:05)
lingzhi(1917) whispers: Kc2
Doubleletter(1715) whispers: could still be insufficient 32.Rxc7+ (8:11) Kxc7 (2:31) 33.Qxe5+ (0:10)
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: white gets a let off now 33...Kc8 (1:46)
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: hmm maybe nothing more than a perpetual 34.Kc2 (2:46) Nc5+ (1:40) 35.Kc3 (0:39)
alphafoxtrot(1766) whispers: b3! 35...Rxf1 (0:45) 36.Qxf4 (1:09) b6 (2:07) 37.b4 (1:20)
