1.e4 (0:00) e5 (0:00) 2.Nf3 (0:02) Nc6 (0:18) 3.Bb5 (0:09) Nf6 (0:05) 4.d3 (0:06) Bc5 (0:03) 5.O-O (0:08) d6 (0:09) 6.h3 (0:09) O-O (0:06) 7.c3 (0:10) a6 (2:26) 8.Ba4 (1:38) Ba7 (0:34) 9.Re1 (0:11) h6 (0:49) 10.Nbd2 (0:07) Ne7 (0:23) 11.Nf1 (0:07) Ng6 (0:18) 12.Bc2 (0:58)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: d5 is interesting as 13. pxd5 Nxd5 14. Nxe5 Nxe5 15. Rxe5 Bxf2 wins pawn back with interest
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: alternative is queenside expansion that is less concrete and leaves a minority attack 12...d5 (4:59)
KiranY(1927) whispers: d4 nxe4 13.exd5 (13:15) Nxd5 (0:03) 14.Nxe5 (3:04)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: he took the bait :D 14...Nxe5 (0:22) 15.Rxe5 (0:04)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: Bxf2 now works I think 15...Bxf2+ (0:39)
KiranY(1927) whispers: oops
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: Kh1 is now forced unless he wants to sac exchange
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: it's a shame knight wasn't on g3 when taking bishop is forced but 16. Kh1 Be6 followed by Qf6 looks strong
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: so maybe a waiting move was better than d5. Well this line is still good so I'm happy enough 16.Kh1 (3:31) Be6 (0:12)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: actually is Hh4 interesting here since it's already looking close to mating after Bxh3
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: well I think Nh2 just prevents the mates :( 17.d4 (3:35)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: ok, so Qh4 is met by Rh5 :(
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: so current plan is Qf6, Rae8 and then Bxh3?
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I like it :) 17...Qf6 (1:51) 18.Qd3 (1:07)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: cheap mating threat... that is also annoying to parry :(
KiranY(1927) whispers: i think re8
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I suspect Re8 is best as g6 just drops a pawn 18...Rfe8 (2:12) 19.b3 (0:33)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: Bxd4 nearly works
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: Nxc3 followed by Bxd4 is kind of interesting too
alexmontes(2018) whispers: yes, Nxc3 would be fun! Please...
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: well idea is obviously to play Qh7+ and then Ba3+ mating
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: although c5 feels like it could be effective
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: another threat was c4-d5 for white 19...c5 (6:28) 20.Ba3 (4:43)
whatcostvictory(1595) whispers: g6 would be a good move here
whatcostvictory(1595) whispers: preventing a checking move by the queen 20...b6 (3:30)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: if pxc5 then I think g6 is forced
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: if Qh7+ is played first then Bxc5 is response to pxc5 21.dxc5 (5:16) g6 (0:10)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: problem with recapture is seen in line 21... pxc5 22. Qh7+ Kf8 23. Ne3 22.Rxd5 (7:20) Bxd5 (0:05) 23.Qxd5 (0:00) Rad8 (0:03)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: now Be1 cometh
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I guess Qxc3 was also an idea but Bxg6 would hurt a lot
KiranY(1927) whispers: qf3 qxq bxq re2 be4 bxc5
KiranY(1927) whispers: other option qc4
Triarius(2236) whispers: qf3 holds, started to follow the game now and probably 16 Be6 was inaccurate and since d4 would be played anyway, Bh4 intending Bf6 was a good alternative
KiranY(1927) whispers: qc4 b5 qg4
KiranY(1927) whispers: qither qxc3
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: Qf3 is move I fear most. Then I might have to bail into an endgame unless Qh4 works 24.Qf3 (7:54) Qxf3 (0:13) 25.gxf3 (0:01) Bxc5 (0:06)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: bishop pair must be eliminated 26.Bxc5 (0:59)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: besides Re2 and Rd5-f4/h4 gives good play 26...bxc5 (0:06) 27.Be4 (0:41) f5 (0:06) 28.Bb7 (0:03)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: hmm... Rd6 and Rb8 and bishop is trapped?
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: only thing is that after c4 and Bd5 rook is misplaced, so I think a5 first, then try to trap 28...a5 (1:56) 29.Ba6 (0:12)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: Rd6 was smarter :P
KiranY(1927) whispers: 4 squares covered for now 29...Rd6 (0:21) 30.Bc4+ (0:03) Kg7 (0:03) 31.Kg1 (0:19)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: now f4 is strong, get a bad bishop for white 31...f4 (0:10) 32.Kf2 (0:15) Kf6 (0:05) 33.Re1 (1:00) Rxe1 (0:04) 34.Kxe1 (0:02)
Triarius(2236) whispers: not much about the bishop since it could always reach e4, more about an useless knight
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: Kg5-h4 looks like a plan 34...Kg5 (0:33) 35.Nd2 (0:35) Kh4 (0:02) 36.Ne4 (0:37) Rc6 (0:02) 37.Bf1 (1:30)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I guess I push two pawns, unsure if order makes much of a difference 37...h5 (1:26) 38.Kf2 (2:00) g5 (0:33)
KiranY(1927) whispers: g5 bb5 rc8 nd6 rd8 nf5 would be nice :)
KiranY(1927) whispers: oh then kh6
KiranY(1927) whispers: kh3* 39.Bb5 (5:29)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: this ending is quite complex e.g. 39. Bg2 c5 40. pxc5 Rxc5 41. Nd6 39...Rc7 (0:14)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: now I'll soon have choice between g5 and Kxh3 that also isn't obvious 40.Bf1 (2:00)
LJMon(1848) whispers: if g4 and both pawns get traded then BK gotta wonder...what am doin here
LJMon(1848) whispers: so maybe no g4 40...g4 (1:46) 41.hxg4 (0:07)
LJMon(1848) whispers: then again 41...hxg4 (0:02) 42.fxg4 (0:04) Kxg4 (0:01)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I'm tempted by idea of Rh7-Rh2+ picking up a2 although dropping c5 might be more of a problem as passed pawns make it harder to win. Also immediate Rh7 is met by Nf6+ fork 43.Be2+ (1:23) Kf5 (0:19) 44.Nd6+ (1:33) Kg5 (0:49)
LJMon(1848) whispers: now the answer is clear....duty target 45.Kf3 (0:38)
LJMon(1848) whispers: Bd3 maybe
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I think Rh7 is ok now, although Ne4+ and Bd3 are annoying
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I can also trade c5 for c3 that is good 45...Rh7 (1:46) 46.Ne4+ (1:17)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: think position is just drawn though as e5 is toxic for king after Nc4+ 46...Kf5 (0:26) 47.Nf2 (0:53)
KiranY(1927) whispers: nxp rh3 rxc3
LJMon(1848) whispers: c4 needs to be played somewhere 47...Re7 (2:37) 48.Bd3+ (0:18) Ke5 (0:23) 49.Ng4+ (0:26) Kd6 (0:08)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: plan is simply Re1-c1-a1 and trying to reach a draw. I can't hold on to f4 so it's better to sac it for play than lose a rook :P 50.Kxf4 (1:24) Re1 (0:04)
LJMon(1848) whispers: Bc4
LJMon(1848) whispers: maybe not 51.Ne3 (0:54)
HyperMagnus(2200) whispers: no.. Ne3-Nc4, then a3 - b4
LJMon(1848) whispers: yes 51...a4 (1:58) 52.Nc4+ (2:10) Kc7 (0:04)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: if knight stays there Rc1 wins a pawn back 53.b4 (0:47)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I think Rc1 is good as if white takes it's on a dark square 53...Rc1 (1:44)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: well after Rxc3 I need to take care rook isn't trapped after Ke3-d2 54.bxc5 (1:10) Rxc3 (0:03) 55.Ke4 (0:02)
KiranY(1927) whispers: b5 was inetersting 55...Rc1 (0:53) 56.Kd4 (0:29)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I think first stage is to force pawn on to a dark square so it's Ra1 56...Ra1 (2:07) 57.a3 (0:04) Rh1 (0:09)
LJMon(1848) whispers: Be4 58.Nd6 (0:58) Rh4+ (0:22) 59.Be4 (0:03)
KiranY(1927) whispers: nb5 nc3 59...Rh3 (0:30)
LJMon(1848) whispers: walk over and grab the pawn 60.Nb5+ (0:03) Kb8 (0:06)
KiranY(1927) whispers: or just c6
LJMon(1848) whispers: yep game baout over
LJMon(1848) whispers: about
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: I think I've messed that up
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: now c pawn can queen 61.c6 (1:13) Rh5 (0:20)
LJMon(1848) whispers: c7+
KiranY(1927) whispers: hope r pawn and N wins
LJMon(1848) whispers: it does
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: It's luck that rook controls f5 as otherwise Bf5+ is fatal. Having said that black is hanging on by a thread 62.c7+ (1:25) Kc8 (0:11) 63.Bf5+ (0:02)
LJMon(1848) whispers: ! 63...Rxf5 (0:06) 64.Nd6+ (0:01)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: fork still loses 64...Kxc7 (0:05) 65.Nxf5 (0:01) Kb6 (0:06) 66.Kc4 (0:03) Ka5 (0:01) 67.Kc5 (0:03) Ka6 (0:01) 68.Kb4 (0:01)
KRMCHESS(2073) whispers: should be a basic win now :( 68...Kb6 (0:08) 69.Kxa4 (0:01) KRMCHESS resigns 1-0
