1.d4 (0:00) Nf6 (0:00) 2.c4 (0:05) g6 (0:21) 3.Nc3 (0:27) d5 (0:16) 4.Nf3 (0:12) Bg7 (0:10) 5.Qb3 (0:14) c6 (1:20)
Plyo(2254) whispers: Too early in the morning for overly dynamic games.
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: Black usually plays ...dxc4 in the Russian system.
6.cxd5 (4:07) cxd5 (0:04)
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: Don't think when I don't need to.
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: I should've played cxd5 in 1 second.
Plyo(2254) whispers: Strategically, this is simple. Black will follow a set-up of this sort: 0-0 / b6 / Bb7 (or Ba6, depends) / Nc6 / e6 / possibly a6 and bringing the rooks to c&d. In general. It all changes according to what white will do.
Plyo(2254) whispers: White can follow more than one scheme but if it were ME playing white I'd forget about breaking with e4 at this time and focus on active placement. i.e. Bf4 (maybe with h3) / e3 / Be2 (not d3 because white may want to play h4-h5 at some point) / 0-0 / rooks to c&d.
7.e3 (4:53) O-O (0:30) 8.Bd3 (0:21)
Plyo(2254) whispers: e3 is okish, he's going for the Bd2 and q-side expension thing.
8...Nc6 (0:29) 9.Bd2 (1:55)
Plyo(2254) whispers: I think he will have t be crazy to 0-0-0 but just in case, I'll play a6 now which I wasn't sure I wanted to play it if not necessary but it will transfer the message across.
9...a6 (2:23) 10.Na4 (1:11)
Plyo(2254) whispers: not bad
Plyo(2254) whispers: if i play b5 Nc5 I'm not left with squares for the LSB which leaves my with Bg4 which is not a god idea. he might even 0-0 and if Bxf3 gxf3 he has future Kh1 anf Rg1 etc. These are things I've played myself.
Plyo(2254) whispers: The one way to "defend" c5 before b5 is played is Ne4 which needs calculating.
Plyo(2254) whispers: Ne4 Bxe4 dxe4 Ng5?! e5!? unclear, if it works it must surely be good for black. thematic central blust.
Plyo(2254) whispers: Nxe4 exd4 mmm
Plyo(2254) whispers: but of 10...Ne4 he doesn't have to capture.
Plyo(2254) whispers: 11. Nb6 Rb8 and then 0-0 and leave the knight there... annoying
Plyo(2254) whispers: ALso, Nb6 + Qb3 threats the d-pawn
Plyo(2254) whispers: Question is whether black can afford e5 and possibly have an isolani - which i bloody hate
Plyo(2254) whispers: Although, if white 0-0 he leave the queen overloaded on b6 and d3 so he can't play dxe5 due to Nc5
Plyo(2254) whispers: Ke2 looks dratic... possibly works though... crazy
Plyo(2254) whispers: drastic*
Plyo(2254) whispers: BTAIM, I don't see any better anyway.
10...Ne4 (10:13)
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: Well, that was a ten-minute move.
11.Nb6 (2:57) Rb8 (0:05) 12.Nxc8 (2:22)
Plyo(2254) whispers: Ha, histerical, didn't even cross my mind :D either the b- or the d-pawns are threatened.
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: My Knight moved four times to take the unmoved Bishop, yes.
Plyo(2254) whispers: The only thing I can do is blust the centre in the hopes that he will have to spend a tempo taking care of his king and I will have a weakness to charge on. otherwise, I lose a pawn or two. So much for a quiet morning game.
12...Rxc8 (4:58)
Plyo(2254) whispers: Qxb7 e5
13.Qxb7 (2:11)
Plyo(2254) whispers: The main difference is that MY king is safe
13...e5 (0:11)
Plyo(2254) whispers: and his bishops are rather dubious. my pieces are stronger. this pawn will turn around
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: I don't think I am losing yet.
Plyo(2254) whispers: 9...a6 was stupid. I should have played 9...b6
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: I have lost five out of five against him so far, so something may happen in this game too.
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: But I just think I'm not worse yet.
14.Rc1 (6:06)
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: Didn't consider the possibility of Rc7
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: Now I realise the real threat was Nd6
Plyo(2254) whispers: I have a feeling that this must be a mistake. Not 0-0 and leaving the king in the centre while the centre is pressured. Will have to search for tactics.
14...Nxd2 (15:31) 15.Nxd2 (0:27) Nb4 (0:15) 16.Rxc8 (0:34) Qxc8 (0:10) 17.Qxc8 (0:59) Rxc8 (0:00) 18.Ke2 (0:14) exd4 (0:03) 19.e4 (2:11) dxe4 (0:23) 20.Nxe4 (0:35) Nxa2 (0:31)
Plyo(2254) whispers: Not completely clear
Plyo(2254) whispers: I must be better but not sure if enough to win
21.Nd6 (2:51) Rc6 (0:26) 22.Nc4 (1:07)
FiNLiP(1815) whispers: I hope there is still hope to get away with a draw.
22...Nb4 (1:27) 23.Ra1 (2:54)
Plyo(2254) whispers: blunder!!
23...Re6+ (0:31) 24.Kd2 (0:15) Bh6+ (0:03)
Plyo(2254) whispers: something i've noticed... people always miss Bh6
FiNLiP resigns 0-1
