Levenfish(2007) whispers: I don't think d5 was ready for move 15 }
15...e5 {(0:52)
Levenfish(2007) whispers: since cxd5 pinned the c pawn
milpat(1873) whispers: not pin, Qc2 not hanging
Levenfish(2007) whispers: hehe, i guess it's too early for me to analyze well :)
milpat(1873) whispers: but Qc7 was
Levenfish(2007) whispers: does it still just drop a pawn? d5 cxd5 cxd5 qxc2 bxc2 and black has an extra pawn
milpat(1873) whispers: maybe early for me too ;)
milpat(1873) whispers: what on Bh6 example?
milpat(1873) whispers: or Bf4? :) }
16.Bf4 {(4:06)
Levenfish(2007) whispers: wow, that's a cute move
Levenfish(2007) whispers: black looks fine after Bb7 or Ba6
milpat(1873) whispers: then dxe4 B still aim Q
milpat(1873) whispers: dxe5*
Levenfish(2007) whispers: black has it defended 4 times, and can take with the bishop and play f6, ick
Levenfish(2007) whispers: I'd rather be white, but I think black can struggle to hold this
milpat(1873) whispers: if take with B Nf3 take, if take with N maybe Kh1? }
16...Bb7 {(3:25)

18.dxe5 {(0:32)
Levenfish(2007) whispers: bad bishop for white now
Levenfish(2007) whispers: if black's willing to play a pawn down
evilcoyote(1998) whispers: e6 is a threat!
milpat(1873) whispers: Re6 no more threat?
Levenfish(2007) whispers: I say just play Nxe5 followed by f6 and hang on
evilcoyote(1998) whispers: thats true mil
milpat(1873) whispers: and double e-file, all time to catch pawn later }
18...c5 {(4:04)
ShakaZahn(1940) whispers: white threatens Bxg6 too

19...Qc8 {(2:42)
Levenfish(2007) whispers: Bxg6!!
milpat(1873) whispers: exf+
milpat(1873) whispers: folowed by Bxg6+
milpat(1873) whispers: then Nd7 goes check!
Levenfish(2007) whispers: Bxg6+ hxg6 exd7 Rxe1+ Rxe1 and black can't stop Re8+
milpat(1873) whispers: evrything seems to win now :(
Levenfish(2007) whispers: looks that way
milpat(1873) whispers: i think that would draw the match

Levenfish(2007) whispers: a better loss? ;) }
22.Rxe1 {(0:28)
Levenfish(2007) whispers: whites pieces work well here

milpat(1873) whispers: Bh6 resign }
23.Bh6 {(3:02)} Qf5 {(0:06)
Levenfish(2007) whispers: promotion must lead to mate
milpat(1873) whispers: even promote as rook }
{Bedreddin resigns} 1-0
antiquark (2010-10-10): Correct me if im wrong but I dont think the opening was a Meran. It is a semi slav but not a Meran as the Meran continues 5.Nbd7 for black.
