{

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: oh well~

milpat(1943) whispers: go girl!!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i want a fun, sharp game

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so i'll play.. d4?}
1.d4 {(0:00)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: this doesn't sound quite right}
1...Nf6 {(0:00)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: now this is already a major crossroads.

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Lol

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i can play ..Nf3, ..c4

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: or.. something else?}
2.Nc3 {(0:40)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: nya.}
2...d5 {(0:46)} 3.Bg5 {(0:03)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: not quite the ruy lopez :<}
3...Nbd7 {(0:50)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: to f3 or not to f3?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i guess i should decide it, like, right now~}
4.e3 {(1:04)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: let's just develop some pieces i guess

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: e6 Bd3 Bb4 Nge2

NightFury(1921) whispers: ok, i have faced this opening maybe four times in my entire playing experience

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: e6 Bd3 c5 is more critical~}
4...g6 {(1:22)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: well.. strike? :<

NightFury(1921) whispers: i'll just play moves that dont seem bad i guess

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: ..Be2 ..h4}
5.Nf3 {(1:04)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: arguably better to develop~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: after Be2 things look a bit funny

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: for the knight~}
5...Bg7 {(0:52)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i'm almost sure he wants to play c5~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i don't want to commit the bishop to d3, i'd like to play Bb5 if possible..

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Qd2 may fail to Ne4

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: typical}
6.h3 {(2:42)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so i.. pass?

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Bd3 looks the most natural

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: actually the bishop is often strong on the h2-b8 diagonal~

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Not sure h3 is that useful yet

milpat(1943) whispers: wiating move?}
6...c6 {(3:03)

pchesso(1718) whispers: a veresov player among us!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: :o no c5~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: the idea is probably Qb6}
7.Bd3 {(0:48)

pchesso(1718) whispers: there are 3 veresov players in tl, as far as i have observed: technika, now suiseiseki and myself

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i should have a host of good options

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: including pawn sac :<

milpat(1943) whispers: henderb is 1 pchess

pchesso(1718) whispers: oh? are you sure?

milpat(1943) whispers: i learned it the hard way :(

pchesso(1718) whispers: hehe :)

milpat(1943) whispers: he doesnt played it recently though

pchesso(1718) whispers: henderb played d4 e6 e4 against me, so i could not find out. he won the french

milpat(1943) whispers: converted to catalan}
7...Nh5 {(1:30)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: this obviously wants to bag a bishop~ :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: however.. e4?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i see a mess incoming~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so.. we dive into it, right? :<}
8.e4 {(1:20)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: h6 Bd2 i may be willing to sac the d-pawn~

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Interesting, I quite like it

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: c6 and especially Nh5 look like innacurate from black

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Qb6 is probably worthy a long think :<}
8...dxe4 {(2:22)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: not expected.}
9.Nxe4 {(0:16)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: well what else~

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Instead of c6 simply O-O and keep the option of c5 is one move

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i have no qualms about sacrificing a pawn if he delays castling :p

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: While Nh5 looks awfully slow

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Qb6 Qe2 Qxb2 Nd6+ :)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: on Qb6 i probably O-O

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Nice line there sbc

pchesso(1718) whispers: white threatens Nd6

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Black would be well advised to go O-O here imo

mindlin(1990) whispers: question for you guys

mindlin(1990) whispers: how long do I have to wait for tl game opponent to show up?

pchesso(1718) whispers: 30 mins

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: 30 minutes according to the rules}
9...Qb6 {(3:10)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: oh it happened~ :<

mindlin(1990) whispers: oh ok thanks what do I do after the 30 minutes?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Qe2 may also be something

pchesso(1718) whispers: a) offer to reschedule or b) claim forfeit win

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: your man just arrived, so don't worry about it ;)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: hang all the pawns? :<

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Black is liiking for trouble it seems

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: A miniature might be on its way:P

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Qe2 Qxb2 O-O

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: she's not seeing Nd6+ yet}
10.Qe2 {(3:13)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: if he doesn't take i just play c3, so he pretty much has to

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: which looks pretty commital~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: oh wait. Qxe7}
10...O-O {(1:59)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so he couldn't take :p

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bxe7 Re8 Nd6?

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: O-O-O looks fun here

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bxe7 Nf4..

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: c3 also, just very solid

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: ugly~ :<

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: when I first whispered this line, I was thinking just c3 here

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: if something is ugly, we don't play it on fashion principles~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: cos it is limiting the scope of the Bg7

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Yah Bxe7 looks like giving black play for no reason

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so we just play c3 after all?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: but maybe something more active is called for

mstefa(2003) whispers: that must be team fashionable moves only?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: seems to be the conclusion :<

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: c3 is nice too}
11.c3 {(2:42)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: h6 is principled i guess

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: h6 Bxe7 Nf4 looks like something to be avoided~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: comp reckons c3 was giving back some of the advantage, but I still like it

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: everything hangs ~ e7, b2

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: g2

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: h6 Be3 must be it~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: to me it just looks like black's pieces are rather misplaced

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: black's position is playable, but must be worse

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i feel slow~ zzz..

milpat(1943) whispers: white better centralized indeed cat}
11...Nhf6 {(3:59)

pchesso(1718) whispers: can't black play already ...e5 now in one go?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: maybe someone spiked my lunch~ :<

wmahan(1963) whispers: go Sui

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I think e5 g4 was winning a pawn, pch

pchesso(1718) whispers: ah

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: and then white can still castle queenside

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: so the slightly open kingside wouldn't be a problem

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: if he manages to play Ndf6, his pieces are pretty harmonious~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: isn't this your opening, pch?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: d4 Nc3 Bg5 etc?

pchesso(1718) whispers: yes

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: the (only?) way to prevent it seems to be by avoiding the trade~

pchesso(1718) whispers: before oyu arrived, we counted 4 veresov club members: technika, sui, henderb, myself

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Ned2 Qxb2 may not be that bad

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: sui seems to play anything, so long as it's reasonably obscure ;)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: but i guess that's pretty needless~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Ng3 seems more like it

pchesso(1718) whispers: ah, is then kicked out of the club immediately again:)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: lol

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: no e5.. oka.. zzz~}
12.Ng3 {(3:07)

pchesso(1718) whispers: must be total veresov devotee, despite it's being poor

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: its not bad

pchesso(1718) whispers: it is. i know best :(

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I think black played the best line against it, until the rather eccentric Nh5

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: on h6 Bf4 may be an option once again~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: but I'm just talking out my ass really, only ever played this a few times from the black side, never from the white side ;)

pchesso(1718) whispers: there are countless transpositions to superior (for white) versions of the french, if black wanst to avoid the veresov. but the veresov proper is troubling me}
12...c5 {(2:15)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: oh there's c5, right..

milpat(1943) whispers: 0-0

nubie(1647) whispers: word eccentric is corrent, as Nh5 is away from the centre

nubie(1647) whispers: *correct

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Be3 looks too feeble~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: first what i have to know is.. do i want to keep a pawn on d4?

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Just ignore it and go O-O

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: ..and why not? :<

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I would not want an isolated d-pawn here

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: actually p@d4 prevents e5, Ne5, Nc5, and loads of annoying stuff

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: black has a nearly ideal setup against it (Bg7 and good control over d5)

milpat(1943) whispers: Nxd4 looks simply ok

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Yes, Nxd4

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: still, black is several moves behind, so 0-0 cxd4 cxd4 must be objectively fine

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: and i don't want him to flick in Qb4+..

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: following that line, the answer is.. castle~ :<

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Or maybe the IQP if white is feeling adventurous

milpat(1943) whispers: i prefer Nxd4 to cx

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: but.. on which side? :o

milpat(1943) whispers: since Bg7 exits

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: queenside castling is "interesting" but not really interesting :<

milpat(1943) whispers: b2 c3 is more solid agaisnt it

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: I feel like white could have gained more after this Qb6}
13.O-O {(3:23)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: a2, c-file are weak~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: h4-h5 push not that promising

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: maybe Laur, but you can't argue with a solid +/= position out of the opening

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: my pieces are not well placed for it~}
13...cxd4 {(0:26)} 14.cxd4 {(0:07)

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: True

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: hmm

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: But black is still alive and kicking after some dubious play in the opening

milpat(1943) whispers: Nd5 now

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: can't always refute dubious openings

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: now i have to take care of d4, b2 and he has to untangle and take care of e7..?}
14...Nd5 {(1:16)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: sounds fair~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: expected

milpat(1943) whispers: yes suis, u'll have to babysit d4 for a good time

milpat(1943) whispers: cxd4 played very quickly, Nx was so bad?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Rad1 and Ne5 perhaps

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: the real threat is Ndf6 :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: and h6

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: White's opening wasn't a pinnacle of soundness either, so I guess += is a fair result:)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bc4 Ndf6 Ne5 possible

milpat(1943) whispers: Ndf6 which? :P

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: could be an argument for putting the rook on the c-file, but I reckon the only thing the c-file is good for is exchanging rooks

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: looks reasonable enough~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: then i decide where to place the rooks}
15.Bc4 {(2:21)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: that's 2 rooks and 3 files..

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: one file too many >_<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: or double rooks ofcourse~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: ah, I guess Ndf6 Ne5 Qxd4 Rfd1 Qc5 Rac1 is winning something}
15...N7f6 {(0:41)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Ne5 Qxd4 may be worth the pawn~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: hmm, Ne5 Qxd4 Rfd1 Nf4

milpat(1943) whispers: that would take-off babysitting duty though

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: nope just losing a piece there I think

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: And at the end of the previous sequence, isn't Qd6 possible too?

milpat(1943) whispers: not sure black will take

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: then Bxf6 I think, Laur

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: and Bxf6 Rxd5 is protecting the Ne5

milpat(1943) whispers: wonder if Ne4 is any good

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i don't know what i'm thinking about really~ :<

milpat(1943) whispers: i like Ne4 finally

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: *ahem*

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so, well, h6 is annoying.

pchesso(1718) whispers: Rad1 h6 Bc1 maybe?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: hmm, Ne5 h6 Bxf6 Nxf6 Nxf7 Rxf7 Qe7?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: *Qxe7}
16.Rfd1 {(9:35)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: well? :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: this is just a random move

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i mean, anyone could play it, right? fine~

milpat(1943) whispers: now Be6 maybe

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: maybe white can try Ne5 and f4-f5

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: the point may or may not be to take on f6 and d7, so that the pawn is protected.

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: but do i really want Qxe7 Qxb2?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i have no idea~

pchesso(1718) whispers: is there are a systematics in Sui's handling of the tilde?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i see i wrote d7 there~ :< sorries}
16...Be6 {(2:45)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: anyway, well, another idea was Ne5?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bd2, Ng5?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: what's my point?

milpat(1943) whispers: if played Ne4, would've been Nc5 on Be6

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bb3?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: just because?}
17.Bb3 {(2:10)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: now i don't have to bother with Qxb2 anymore!

milpat(1943) whispers: black is fixing his centralization weakness it seems

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: also, the bishop hanging on the open file was quite scary~ :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bd2 may be a move now, although keeping the bishop just for the sake of keeping the bishop.. i dunno~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: seems wrong to play cxd4 and then follow with several safe, unambitious moves}
17...h6 {(2:05)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: this was pretty expected.

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: now for a very very critical moment~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Bxf6 Bxf6 Ne4

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bd2, Bxd5, Bxf6?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i hate to have options~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: but maybe black has Nf4

milpat(1943) whispers: yes cat

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bxf6 Bxf6 Ne5 is cute

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: a slightly inferior version of your excellent idea, pat ;)

milpat(1943) whispers: trade on b3 cant be so favorable to white i presume

NightFury(1921) whispers: bishop finally has to make choice, hes been on my side of the board for to long :)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bd2.. well? :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: it does a job of preventing Nf4~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: but who cares?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: another fune line: Bxf6 Bxf6 Ne4 Nf4 Bxf6+ exf6 Qe3 Bxb3 Qxf4

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: *fun

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bxf6 Bxf6 Ne5 Nf4 Qf4

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: ..Qe4.}
18.Bxf6 {(3:59)} Bxf6 {(0:09)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i'm afraid of too many pieces~ :<

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I hope she considers Ne4}
19.Ne4 {(0:43)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: erm, my line had a flaw

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: as usual, having said A, i proceed to B..

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Nf4 Nxf6+ exf6 Qe3 Bxb3 Qxf4 Bxd1

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: you wish i knew what i'm doing~ :<

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: good!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: what's the point? c5 looks nice~

wmahan(1963) whispers: come on, believe in yourself sui

nemotyro(1785) whispers: good tactics, Suis, confound the enemy

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: of course not Bg7 Nc5 Bxd4 Nxe6

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bxf2+?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: or Bg7 Nc5 Bxd4 Nxd4 Qxc5 Nxe6?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: black's bishop pair isn't worth much here, imo

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: looks working

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: with an isolated pawn, you often want knights to occupy the outposts

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: (d5 for black, c5 and e5 for white)}
19...Bg7 {(2:39)} 20.Nc5 {(0:06)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: HAVE FAITH

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: we do!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i'm guilty of not double-checking. but it seems fine, right? :<

milpat(1943) whispers: at least, on Bxb3 N can retake

wmahan(1963) whispers: anything wrong with Nf4 now?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: nevermind that if i miss i just lose

milpat(1943) whispers: Nf4 for sure

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: no, Nf4 is indeed the move

milpat(1943) whispers: allows Bxb3

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Nf4 Qe4 Bxb3 axb3 leaves the black knight no good retreat square

NightFury(1921) whispers: hmm, white played it fast maybe i missed something

NightFury(1921) whispers: oh well here it goes

milpat(1943) whispers: there is Nd7 to counter though}
20...Nf4 {(2:36)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: he's going for Bxd4?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: ah no

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: the idea was Qe4.

milpat(1943) whispers: Qe4 Bxb3 ax the f4 and d7 to watch

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: quite so

wmahan(1963) whispers: Nf4 Qe4 Bxb3 axb3 Qc7 maybe

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: there's Qe4 and Qd2, and i see no reason to prefer the latter~ :<

milpat(1943) whispers: then*}
21.Qe4 {(1:02)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: no ninja checks? fine~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Bxb3 Nxb3 is a boring line

wmahan(1963) whispers: anyway after Bxb3 axb3 b7, e7, Nf4 are all hanging and Nd7 is in the air}
21...Bxb3 {(0:55)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: a good lesson to never make the automatic recapture

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: axb3 and i have Nd7, rawr!

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: axb3 Qc7 temporarily holds everything

milpat(1943) whispers: yes, multi-threats cant be bad

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: looks like a lot of hanging pieces

milpat(1943) whispers: BANZAI!!!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: ie axb3 Bxd4

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: and i have to watch for Ne2+ sorcery}
22.axb3 {(1:18)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i see some dubious lines though~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: ya but you have Nxd4 and Qxf4

milpat(1943) whispers: good , she's alert on that

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: there may be hope

wmahan(1963) whispers: black's pieces are just uncoordinated now imho

milpat(1943) whispers: Qc7 only move?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I didn't even notice that b7 is on

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: yeah I think so, pat

milpat(1943) whispers: then Rc1 seems easy

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: don't think white wants to take b7 there, probably just Rc1 yes

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: ie Bxd4 Qxf4 Bxc5 Qxh6 and Ng5 ~ dubious for too slow

wmahan(1963) whispers: Qc7 Qxb7 Nxb7 and the N has a permanent outpost on c5

milpat(1943) whispers: open b-file would just weaken her owns b-twins

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i guess Nd7 just cuts it~

wmahan(1963) whispers: maybe, but a7 wolud be a target

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: N on c5 holds everything together

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i'm pretty convinced that Bxd4 is the critical move though :<

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: like a Pillsbury bind

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: like, Ne6 Nd7 is dull for him

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: but maybe there's Rxd4 :p

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: oh well

wmahan(1963) whispers: Bxd4 Nd7 Bxf2 Kh1 and black is still forked

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: there are at least 3 refutations of Bxd4 ;)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I still don't see the problem with just Nxd4

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: cos after Qxc5 there is Qxf4

wmahan(1963) whispers: ah of course

milpat(1943) whispers: ah true

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: there is Nxh3+ to get two pawns for the piece though...

Aneirin(1819) whispers: is there then e5? :)

Cuilin(1925) whispers: and after Qxf4 maybe ...e5?}
22...Qc7 {(5:03)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: .. of course? :p

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: ah, ok just two refutations then ;)

wmahan(1963) whispers: I guess there was some refutation to Bxd4 Nxd4 Qxc5 Qxf4 e5

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Rc1 looks fine

Cuilin(1925) whispers: possibly

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: which rook? :P

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Rc1 Qd6..

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: then i take on b7 somehow~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: this e2+ thingy is looking pretty scary though

milpat(1943) whispers: yes Nxb7 doesnt make Qd6 so attractive}
23.Rac1 {(1:43)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: who knows?

wmahan(1963) whispers: I guess I am the only greedy one who wanted Qxb7

NightFury(1921) whispers: i didnt expect that

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: sounds like black wanted Qxb7

wmahan(1963) whispers: this does seem awkward for black though

wmahan(1963) whispers: hehe

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i just noticed f5 Qe3 Nd5 is losing. slight relief~

milpat(1943) whispers: keep the bind on f4 for now is cool wil maybe}
23...f5 {(2:39)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so.. it happened?}
24.Qe3 {(0:27)

milpat(1943) whispers: just Qe3

milpat(1943) whispers: yea

wmahan(1963) whispers: good thing she saw Nd5 Qe6

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: very carefully moved to avoid mouseslip

milpat(1943) whispers: Nd4 Qe6+

milpat(1943) whispers: yes

wmahan(1963) whispers: haha

milpat(1943) whispers: u all to fast typers for me :P

milpat(1943) whispers: too* fast

Aneirin(1819) whispers: ole man

wmahan(1963) whispers: I think f5 just weakened black's position

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: with a difficult position, weakening moves happen almost automatically

milpat(1943) whispers: black is on reaction mode, its good thing for us

wmahan(1963) whispers: I'm starting to see why Rc1 was a really clever move

pchesso(1718) whispers: Ne6 threatening

milpat(1943) whispers: indeed serious threat!!

milpat(1943) whispers: Qd6 like forced?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I feel for black, as I was in a similar situation yesterday

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: staring for minutes on end when there is really no choice

wmahan(1963) whispers: Qd6 Nxb7 looks pleasant for white

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: waah i need water~ :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: be back soon

milpat(1943) whispers: then Qb8 forced

wmahan(1963) whispers: but I don't see any move as good as Qd6

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: that's my point; Qd6 is not pleasant to play, but there is nothing better available

milpat(1943) whispers: e5 Ne6

wmahan(1963) whispers: there is nowhere the black queen can do that it won't be harrassed with tempo}
24...Qd6 {(5:04)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: aaah :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: also, he moved

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: well :<

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: is Ne5 an option?

Cuilin(1925) whispers: I think so

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Ne5 g5 I suppose

wmahan(1963) whispers: Nxb7 Qb8 Nc5 Rfe8 maybe

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Nxb7 wins a pawn~ :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: but winning pawns suck

Aneirin(1819) whispers: that's the spirit

milpat(1943) whispers: talk of girl!!

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I think Ne5 is good psychologically too

milpat(1943) whispers: talk of a* girl!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Nxb7 Qd5 and what did i get?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: black is probably expecting Nxb7, so giving him something else to think about is a good practical idea

Cuilin(1925) whispers: well, but what about Ne5 Nd5?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: or Qd7

pchesso(1718) whispers: not only a pawn. it also gives c5 to the white N for quite a while

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: on Qd5 i get a seventh file

wmahan(1963) whispers: why not Ne5 Nd5

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: well anyway i don't like this

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Qg3 there, cuilin?}
25.Ne5 {(3:13)

Aneirin(1819) whispers: let's find out

Cuilin(1925) whispers: hm, perhaps}
25...g5 {(0:54)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: if Nd5 Qg3 g5 is forced, then it must be better for black to play g5 first

milpat(1943) whispers: Qf3 as well?

milpat(1943) whispers: oh

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: but I'm not sure if it was forced

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: seems black wasn't surprised, he played that quite quickly

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: now is a better time to take :p

Cuilin(1925) whispers: I agree

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I would be tempted by h4 and g3

Cuilin(1925) whispers: Nxb7 looks good now

wmahan(1963) whispers: eventually she will run out of fancy moves and have to eat the pawn

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so.. well?}
26.Nxb7 {(1:06)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: noooo

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: whatever i guess?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I wanted that pawn to live, for no apparent reason ;)

Cuilin(1925) whispers: :))

milpat(1943) whispers: Qd5 threats mate

Aneirin(1819) whispers: Qd5 seems annoying now!}
26...Qd5 {(0:34)

milpat(1943) whispers: Qf3

wmahan(1963) whispers: :(

milpat(1943) whispers: whats the problem on Qf3?

Cuilin(1925) whispers: only move

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: er - i noticed, but.. not Ne2+

Aneirin(1819) whispers: Qf3 Nxh3 looks a bit weird

wmahan(1963) whispers: Qf3 Bxe5 maybe

milpat(1943) whispers: Ne2 after trade, i see

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: nyasdfkz

milpat(1943) whispers: and Rc1 become lss good :s

Cuilin(1925) whispers: :(}
27.Qf3 {(1:49)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: fission mailed

Aneirin(1819) whispers: oh, right, Nx don't work}
27...Qxf3 {(0:15)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: at least i have play still}
28.Nxf3 {(0:06)} Ne2+ {(0:02)} 29.Kf1 {(0:00)} Nxc1 {(0:01)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: seems I was right to want to let that pawn live}
30.Rxc1 {(0:00)

Cuilin(1925) whispers: okokok

milpat(1943) whispers: pawn grab :(

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: but I did not see any of this

milpat(1943) whispers: now its complicated

wmahan(1963) whispers: I guess she can still survive, but it's tough to go from better to worse

Aneirin(1819) whispers: 398 also looks pretty crazy

Aneirin(1819) whispers: someone been drinkin' again

wmahan(1963) whispers: I blame Ne5, not the pawn grab :p

milpat(1943) whispers: yes, Ne5 not good, u right}
30...g4 {(2:12)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i hate this T_T

milpat(1943) whispers: this gets d4 now

milpat(1943) whispers: after Bxd4, f2 under fire, oh my...only problems coming}
31.Ne5 {(0:40)} Bxe5 {(0:04)} 32.dxe5 {(0:00)

milpat(1943) whispers: no choice}
32...Rfc8 {(0:04)

wmahan(1963) whispers: this looks scary for white

wmahan(1963) whispers: too much simplification and she could be dead

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: yeah, lone knight vs rook is hopeless}
33.Nc5 {(0:32)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: you are at the mercy of zugswang all the time

wmahan(1963) whispers: a5 now is annoying

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: now i centralize i guess

milpat(1943) whispers: position too much open for that}
33...Rab8 {(0:27)

wmahan(1963) whispers: might as well hxg

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Rc3

Cuilin(1925) whispers: hxg fxg will eventually turn into a distant passer to worry about

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: actually that isn't much better

wmahan(1963) whispers: black is going to force a trade and white can't stop it, sadly

Cuilin(1925) whispers: yeah, I'm afraid it's totally 0-1 :(

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: *freeze

milpat(1943) whispers: take on g4 then bring K, whatelse?

wmahan(1963) whispers: resign seems like a reasonable alternative}
34.Rc4 {(3:57)

Cuilin(1925) whispers: afraid so

milpat(1943) whispers: ah

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: Rxb3

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: :(

milpat(1943) whispers: this allows to play b4 on Rb5}
34...Rxb3 {(0:21)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: hxg4 though}
35.hxg4 {(0:09)

milpat(1943) whispers: yes

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: and Rb5 b4 miraculously saves the knight

milpat(1943) whispers: pseudo save

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: ..

wmahan(1963) whispers: that would be the dream scenario}
35...Rxb2 {(0:37)

Cuilin(1925) whispers: this seems enough though

milpat(1943) whispers: ah, clever

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: gxf5 now must give counterplay

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: yes! now i freak out~ :<

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: lol}
36.gxf5 {(0:27)

milpat(1943) whispers: xf5 Rb5 Rg4+ saves the N?

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: Wow

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: you can see that it does

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: How did things go so wrong so fast?

wmahan(1963) whispers: h5 or Kf7 I guess

milpat(1943) whispers: forgot a mate threat

milpat(1943) whispers: 26.Qd5 Laur

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: Kh7 is the better choic

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Kf7 e6+ leaves the king somewhat limited options

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: choice*

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: eg Kf7 e6+ Ke8 Rg4 with a nasty mate threat

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: so I like h5

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: never mind that i have nothing, but.. yay?

milpat(1943) whispers: K move closes the books i'm affraid

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: not quite, Kh7 f6 exf6 e6 is tricky}
36...Rb5 {(2:57)

wmahan(1963) whispers: Kf8! :p

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: I like Kf8!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: as feared

milpat(1943) whispers: yea :)

milpat(1943) whispers: Kf8! ;)

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: :D

wmahan(1963) whispers: Rg4 and Nd3 seems like the obvious try

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: aaah i need a convenient check}
37.Rg4+ {(2:01)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: depends where the king goes

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: when a move is forced you don't delay i guess

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: she says, after spending 2 minutes on this one ;)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: but well, Kf7, then what? darn~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: AAAAAHHH Nd7~

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: yes yes

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: Yes Nd7 would be winning!

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: yes, very good move!

milpat(1943) whispers: winning Erick??

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: now there is.. a future?}
37...Kf7 {(1:20)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: yup}
38.Nd7 {(0:10)

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: Yes winning!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: this covers e5 and f6

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: is e6 a defence?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so awesome~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: forget it, just f6

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: or maybe not

Twikki(2067) whispers: e6 f6 Rg8

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: e6 f6 Ke8

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: nope still winning

wmahan(1963) whispers: crazy

wmahan(1963) whispers: I thought Kf7 felt wrong somehow

LaurentiuI(1936) whispers: I'm afraid black can just check the white k to the 4th and exchange rooks

milpat(1943) whispers: explain to little me pls

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: take on c8 and black cannot stop f7 f8

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: well I believe you, but could you give us the line EC? :)

milpat(1943) whispers: i dont see slear win like u

milpat(1943) whispers: clear*

wmahan(1963) whispers: clearly e6 is a big threat

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: e6 f6 Ke8 Rg8+ Kxd7 Rxc8 Kxc8 f7 How to stop f8=Q

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: ah, yes

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: :)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: how about e6 f6 Rg8?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: (can't remember who suggested this already)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i need another glass of water~

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: (and too lazy to scroll up) ;)

Twikki(2067) whispers: <--

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: ah yes, I knew the source was unimpeachable ;)

milpat(1943) whispers: too buzy cat, too buzy

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: i was well, then i screwed up, now there is light again!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: yay?}
38...e6 {(3:55)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: there must be better, but f6 Rg8 Ra4 Rb7 Nc5 Rc7 Nd4 seems good

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: once again, i get my water, then he moves~ :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: there may be a pattern :o

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: this was forced i guess?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: anyway now my move seems to be kinda forced too}
39.f6 {(1:27)

milpat(1943) whispers: BANZAI!!!!

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: obviously fxe6/allowing exf5 never never}
39...Rg8 {(0:33)

wmahan(1963) whispers: good instincts

milpat(1943) whispers: the rook checks i'm not sure about

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: any advance on Ra4 here?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: checks are nothing, would only improve white's king position

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: first point... i absolutely have to keep the e5-pawn

milpat(1943) whispers: could trade rook maybe, no?

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: maybe not winning I did find a winning idea though:))

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: even winning g2 isn't much good

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: no!

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: knight has no chance against the a-pawn

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: so a line like Rh4 Rd5 should totally be avoided

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: trade and f4 may be possible, but it very much looks like i'm losing :<

milpat(1943) whispers: Ra4 or Rd4?

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: that leaves.. Ra4?

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: ah Ra4 a5 is a bugger

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: and Rc4 Rb7 is not that great either

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: Ra4 Rb7 Nb5

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: and.. draw? :p

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: and Rc4 Rb7 Nc5 Rc7}
40.Ra4 {(2:52)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: let's see what happens~ :<

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: if he allows it f4 follows

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: after f4 the knight moves and i may be all well

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I think a5 cuts out white's counterplay

wmahan(1963) whispers: Nc5-Ne4-Nd6 is an idea

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: yup, I wanted that too

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: only possible on Rb7 though

Twikki(2067) whispers: I don't see what white does after a5}
40...a5 {(1:42)

milpat(1943) whispers: a5 f4

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: ooh risks~ :<

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: knight is probably lost

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: scary :o}
41.f4 {(0:22)

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: what else?

milpat(1943) whispers: ok, i see now :(

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Rd8 and :(}
41...Rd8 {(0:30)

wmahan(1963) whispers: Rd8 hurts, yes

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Nb6 just for a bit of nuisance value

milpat(1943) whispers: Rd4, no choice

wmahan(1963) whispers: black seems to be finding all the right moves

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Rd4 Rd5

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: er..

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: AAAAAAAHHHHH

milpat(1943) whispers: RxR and avoid the worse

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Rxd5 exd5 N moves Ke6

milpat(1943) whispers: Rb7 more preoblematic

Twikki(2067) whispers: Rd4 a4

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: hmm, true

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Rb7 is more convincing

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: scream

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: poor sui :(

Twikki(2067) whispers: it's not going anywhere, so I'd ignore it and promote my pawn :P

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: I still say Nb6

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: win a5 and hope to get a check on a7

milpat(1943) whispers: whatelse

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: I vote Nb6!

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: Nb6 no exclam

nemotyro(1785) whispers: If the N isn't going anywhere why not b6 and pick up the a-pawn.

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: pain :<

milpat(1943) whispers: 2 rooks vs 1,,,will be short hope

NightFury(1921) whispers: i think this about does it

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Nb6 certainly doesn't deserve an exclaim, but it's better than resigning I guess

wmahan(1963) whispers: Rd4 Rd5 Rxd5 exd5 Nc5 forced I guess

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: guess i can't get out of THIS one

milpat(1943) whispers: Rd4 Rb7 Wil?

NightFury(1921) whispers: thanks all for watching

xombie(1858) whispers: eh, knight

wmahan(1963) whispers: oh yeah, that's much better

xombie(1858) whispers: worst pieces on board

milpat(1943) whispers: sorry suisz :(

CarlosKerber(1679) whispers: Ne9+

milpat(1943) whispers: ah, never thought about Ne9

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: it's probably not much consolation, but this has been a great game to watch

CarlosKerber(1679) whispers: :))

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: Carlos, what to do on Ne9+ Kf8 ;)

NightFury(1921) whispers: of course i could be missing something like earlier

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: you need a tenth rank to save the knight ;)

milpat(1943) whispers: wind turned so fast

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: woe.

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: resignation incoming}
42.f5 {(6:14)

smallblackcat(1988) whispers: how could I miss that, so obvious

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: enough.

Suiseiseki(2006) whispers: when not even exf e6 e7 e8 works

evilcoyote(2137) whispers: We are playing on a 100x100 board:)
