1.e4 (0:00) c5 (0:00) 2.Nf3 (0:03) g6 (0:06)
tjradd(2158) whispers: well, I am easy to prepare against :)
tjradd(2158) whispers: Mr Boedi likes rossilimo stuff, and closed sicilians
tjradd(2158) whispers: so I wonder what he has prepared for me
Boedi(2257) whispers: just taking my time deciding what system to play
Imen(1863) whispers: tjr must be happy with a dragon setup 3.c3 (2:54) Bg7 (0:04)
tjradd(2158) whispers: my team is down 0-1
tjradd(2158) whispers: interesting that white is taking some time 4.d4 (2:00) cxd4 (0:02) 5.cxd4 (0:01) d5 (0:01) 6.exd5 (0:07) Nf6 (0:04)
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: wow 7.Nc3 (0:12)
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: this is known to be sub-optimal for white
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: white should play e5 not exd5 (unless ive been taught incorrectly)
tjradd(2158) whispers: I don't have much experience with this, as it is not known as a testing line
tjradd(2158) whispers: I think both Nd5 and o-o are fine
Imen(1863) whispers: I know tjr and he knows this theory well...I wouldnt want to be white 7...O-O (2:00)
pollock(2174) whispers: its just an isolated pawn , not end of world :)
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: no, not like it's losing or anything, just inferior to e5
FiNLiP(1769) whispers: I'm sure Boedi knows what he's doing too. 8.Be2 (2:06)
FiNLiP(1769) whispers: Would love to watch this game as well but it is my bedtime soon. And both of them have dumped my openings on move one. 8...Nxd5 (0:25)
FiNLiP(1769) whispers: I was wondering if White might have tried to stay a pawn up with 8 Bc4.
tjradd(2158) whispers: I guess if the idea is to get me out of book and into a chess game, then it has worked :)
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: nah, white can't hold onto the pawn
FiNLiP(1769) whispers: But there might be an immediate refutation with the dark square bishop looking down the major diagonal. 9.O-O (1:18)
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: Nbd7 to Nb6 is common
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: (to retrieve the d5 pawn)
FiNLiP(1769) whispers: Nbd7 Nxd5 9...Nc6 (0:42)
FiNLiP(1769) whispers: Oh, after Bc4, you mean?
tjradd(2158) whispers: white is a little passive for IQP
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: i dont know what line you are talking about, Nxd5 makes no sense in the one im talking about
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: white can't capture his own pawn
Imen(1863) whispers: looks to me that if black can simply catch up in development he has at least equalized and may be slightly better (re the isolani)
tjradd(2158) whispers: Be3 maybe e5 is an idea
tjradd(2158) whispers: hmm then Nxc6
tjradd(2158) whispers: Be3 Ne3 fe3 e5 maybe 10.Qb3 (3:15)
tjradd(2158) whispers: inviting d5 and e4
tjradd(2158) whispers: Be6 Qb7 Nd4 hmmm
tjradd(2158) whispers: I like the active look of Be6 Qb7, whetherI take on d4 or play Rc8
Imen(1863) whispers: an improtant point in the game...take your time tjr and find the best move
tjradd(2158) whispers: my team is down 0-1 so a little riskiness is called for 10...Be6 (2:26)
tjradd(2158) whispers: I will offer the pawn
tjradd(2158) whispers: food for thought for later: a team up 1-0 maybe should not play Qb3 there!?
tjradd(2158) whispers: I am not sure, but I wanted to make the comment so when I see it later I'll think aboutit more :)
FiNLiP(1769) whispers: 1-0 up is also a reason to take risks and try to grab at least half a point immediately.
tjradd(2158) whispers: Qa4 Nb6 and I can probably take d4
tjradd(2158) whispers: I am looking at Qb7 Nd4 and Rc8 11.Qd1 (4:57)
Boedi(2257) whispers: ok, accepting that Qb3 was a bit careless and a mistake
tjradd(2158) whispers: nice
tjradd(2158) whispers: Qb6, Rfd8 feels natural
tjradd(2158) whispers: how do we feel about Na4 --> Nc5 11...Qd6 (6:41)
tjradd(2158) whispers: I didn't like the feel of Qb6 Na5 when I couldn't figureout how to make my queen useful
tjradd(2158) whispers: B/e6 is likely having to give up a tempo (Bg4 makes sense, weakening d4)
tjradd(2158) whispers: so I'm lookingfor Qd6, Rfd8, Nb6 possibly
Imen(1863) whispers: so to summerize the opening...black is developed ,created an isolani (positional),forced a queen retreat (tempo and psychological), who can argue balck has won the opening
tjradd(2158) whispers: against Be3 & Qd2 I can think about Nb6 --> Nc4
tjradd(2158) whispers: or maybe even Bc4 depending on particulars
Imen(1863) whispers: and contrary to his remarks...I believe black is in his "house" so to speak 12.Ne4 (3:33) Qb4 (0:24)
Gorgonian(2008) whispers: yes, i know he knows this opening because he taught it to me :)
tjradd(2158) whispers: hmmm there is some trappiness to Nc5 13.a3 (0:46) Qb6 (0:29)
Imen(1863) whispers: what I dont like abt blacks position is the e and b pawns...it will be some time before they aquire space or central control 14.Nc5 (1:58)
tjradd(2158) whispers: I thinkI could say I was winning if I'd played Rfd8
tjradd(2158) whispers: if I move my B/e6 then N/d5 is loose and that causes some issues
tjradd(2158) whispers: Nd4?! Ne6 fe6 (Ne6 loses N/d5)
tjradd(2158) whispers: and if Bg4 h3 I know I don't have to take, but if I do I lose time to Bf3 14...Bg4 (2:18)
tjradd(2158) whispers: I don't particularly want to give up thebishop pair
Imen(1863) whispers: Bc8 would have save the B pr at the cost of freeing the a8 R ...but maybe it was preferable(?)
Imen(1863) whispers: as I have often noted with equal play there is an ebb and flow to each sides mobility for each side...now white seems to have an initiative 15.Nd3 (5:37)
tjradd(2158) whispers: is the idea to play Nf4 to break my blockade 15...Rfd8 (1:24)
Imen(1863) whispers: loading up on the isolani
tjradd(2158) whispers: I have active pieces, no serious weaknesses, and a lead ind evelopment
Imen(1863) whispers: i wonder if blk would take b2 if the c1 B moves
tjradd(2158) whispers: clearly I am going to blunder :p
Imen(1863) whispers: oops missed the K
tjradd(2158) whispers: B/g4 does glow, though 16.Bg5 (2:33)
tjradd(2158) whispers: part of me wants to kick with h6 16...h6 (2:07) 17.Bh4 (0:22)
tjradd(2158) whispers: and I can win a pawn? 17...g5 (0:53) 18.Bg3 (0:06) Bxf3 (0:02) 19.Bxf3 (0:03) Nxd4 (0:01)
HerrBlume(1733) whispers: the isolani 20.Rc1 (1:17)
Boedi(2257) whispers: opening play was a total disaster
Boedi(2257) whispers: I trust tjradd to just play this out to a win
tjradd(2158) whispers: so c7 is an issue 20...Nxf3+ (1:11) 21.Qxf3 (0:03)
tjradd(2158) whispers: now there is less pressure on d5, so less pressure on c7
tjradd(2158) whispers: wondering aboute6
tjradd(2158) whispers: stabilizes theknight but
tjradd(2158) whispers: makes some annoying dark holes
tjradd(2158) whispers: and Be5 already makes things look a little suspect
tjradd(2158) whispers: Rd7 runs into Ne5
tjradd(2158) whispers: epic
tjradd(2158) whispers: looking at Qb3
tjradd(2158) whispers: supports my N, kinda pins his N
tjradd(2158) whispers: looking to get Rac8 tactically 21...Qb3 (5:38)
Imen(1863) whispers: the squeeze is on
tjradd(2158) whispers: this feels a little unstable
tjradd(2158) whispers: I never feel quite right looking for concrete tricks to enforce themes :p
tjradd(2158) whispers: If we trade queens I will have a clear edge 22.Qe2 (2:33)
tjradd(2158) whispers: Ne3 type nonsense is never working (Nc5) 22...Rac8 (1:58)
tjradd(2158) whispers: I "had to" develop my last piece
tjradd(2158) whispers: it's a mantra thing
HerrBlume(1733) whispers: tjradds comments are very instructive 23.h4 (2:45)
tjradd(2158) whispers: I was looking at stuff based on Rc4
tjradd(2158) whispers: something like gh4 Bh4 Rc4 trying to lift/double with tempo
tseltzer(1936) whispers: yes, I agree, really some of the most uesful insights into how/what a strong player thinks
tjradd(2158) whispers: but, there's a problem
tjradd(2158) whispers: I feel like lines where I get to play Rxd3 are busted by Qe8+ and Qe4+ stuff hmm
NakedNous(1814) whispers: Hi all
NakedNous(1814) whispers: looking nice for black isn't it?
tjradd(2158) whispers: there's an even more direct problem - Nc5 ideas
tjradd(2158) whispers: if I play hg Bh4 Rc4, maybe Nc5 is just a kill
tjradd(2158) whispers: why is his knight so good
tjradd(2158) whispers: when I try to play b5 to support a Rc4 idea, Nc5 kinda traps the queen
Imen(1863) whispers: black may breathe life into whites game by burning too muck clock 23...gxh4 (10:18)
tjradd(2158) whispers: his knightis the most important piece 24.Bxh4 (0:15) Rxc1 (0:02) 25.Rxc1 (0:08) Nb6 (0:00)
Imen(1863) whispers: wow...guess the knights gotta move
tjradd(2158) whispers: once I decide his knight is themost important piece, this becomes the only serious line :p
tjradd(2158) whispers: on Rd1 I can Rd7 and defend my pawns enough (R/d1 needs Q warmth)
tjradd(2158) whispers: then we can'discuss' Nc4 ideas
tjradd(2158) whispers: and trying to pickup b2 etc
tjradd(2158) whispers: (also Ne5 idea) 26.Nc5 (3:09) Qxb2 (0:12) 27.Qxb2 (0:08) Bxb2 (0:01) 28.Rc2 (0:08) Bxa3 (0:10) 29.Nxb7 (0:16)
Imen(1863) whispers: game over...bewarned of tjr armed with the dragon 29...Rd7 (1:17) 30.Na5 (0:13) Rd4 (2:22) 31.g3 (0:45) Nd5 (0:48) 32.Ra2 (2:13)
HerrBlume(1733) whispers: timetrouble + fork would help white 32...Ra4 (2:07)
tjradd(2158) whispers: not good
tjradd(2158) whispers: tj is falling apart these last couple moves 33.Nc4 (0:44) Rxc4 (0:07) 34.Rxa3 (0:06) Rc7 (0:07) 35.g4 (0:26) Kg7 (1:44) 36.f3 (0:08) Kg6 (0:47)

tjradd(2158) whispers: ugly
tjradd(2158) whispers: Ra6!
tjradd(2158) whispers: and after Rb7

tjradd(2158) whispers: rook pawns are eil
tjradd(2158) whispers: evil, too 42.f4 (0:08)
Jammes(1779) whispers: poor tjradd just 2 pawns up
tjradd(2158) whispers: ok so if I give upmy a-pawn I get Rb3 and Kg4 hmm 42...Nd5 (0:34)
tjradd(2158) whispers: (Nd5 to defend e( 43.Ra5 (0:42)
tjradd(2158) whispers: f4 might not have been right 43...Rb3+ (0:23)

tjradd(2158) whispers: ok, on to next phase 45.Rxa7 (0:17) Kg4 (0:14)
tjradd(2158) whispers: still kinda tricky, but now my king is serious
tjradd(2158) whispers: Rd2 is a threat 46.Bc5 (2:02) e6 (0:25) 47.Bd6 (1:07) Nxf4 (1:14) 48.Bxf4 (0:43) Kxf4 (0:01) 49.Ra4+ (0:02) Kf3 (0:14)
Imen(1863) whispers: i see no tricks resigning time
tjradd(2158) whispers: black wants to control the path of the pawn 50.Ra6 (1:23)
tjradd(2158) whispers: if it was only one pawn, white could aim for phillidor ideas 50...Re3 (0:08)
Imen(1863) whispers: masterful exploitation of an advanage out of the opening 51.Kg1 (0:09) Re1+ (0:02) 52.Kh2 (0:02) Kf2 (0:03) 53.Ra2+ (0:06) Re2 (0:04) 54.Ra4 (0:01) f5 (0:11) 55.Kh3 (0:27) e5 (0:07)
