BoboVieri(1958) whispers: please use whispers, not kibitzes
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: its well known line of Kings Indian defence
13.Be3 (0:21)
robertj(1649) whispers: King's Indian: Fianchetto, Classical, 8.e4 exd4 9.Nxd4 Re8 10.h3 Nc5
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Kiril plays his favorite fianchetto variant
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Ndb5 is a good idea, black hasnt c7-c6 now
Scenic(2347) kibitzes: Ne5 is the standard move here
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: I usually try to close game
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: playing vs engines
GBate(1724) whispers: Last request, people...please use whispers
Scenic(2347) whispers: OK sure
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Kiril accepted the challenge, position is pretty open
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: is it possible to close the game.. how will Kiril do that now
Mekk(1758) whispers: Pretty fast ...
BlkSabb(1765) whispers: Are you going to play the winner Petrovich?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: 273 no
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty is programmed to think longer when it leaves the opening
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: 273 KID is very strategically risky opening
Menschmaschine(2015) whispers: Will craftynovus be permitted to use the restroom during the game?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: white can close the game easily
Scenic(2347) whispers: After Ne5 now, then white usually takes c5 with the bishop
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty can use a toilet too :)
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: i remember i played vs Shredder on chesssbase site
theUAF(1773) whispers: Crafty's standard time management is not very good
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: 273 guys, lets quite toilet talks
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: good idea
Nb6 (6:05)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=16; eval=+0.01; nps=8.4M; nfp=56.75; time=6:26; egtb=0
Quadblade(1928) kibitzes: chesstellevision.com says this was popular in the 40s and 50s
GBate(1724) whispers: Just a reminder--please use whispers during the game, rather than using kibitzes, as the players will be able to see the kibitzes..
Mekk(1758) whispers: especially crafty can benefit from them ;-)
Scenic(2347) whispers: It looks as if Nb6 is a Novelty...
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Is this played here on FICS? Is this a single game or a match?
theUAF(1773) whispers: how much time does crafty use when out of book robert?
seberg(1710) whispers: yes, its played here
FusterCluck(1686) whispers: what is the point of Nb6?
Scenic(2347) whispers: funny c4 attack?
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: is it a good idea for white to paly Bd4 and exchange the dark square bishops
DeanA(2196) whispers: and to get out Bc8.
Mekk(1758) whispers: What is white to do with Nb5? It seems misplaced to my naive eye...
robertj(1649) whispers: is black's c7 pawn weak?
Scenic(2347) whispers: INFO: CraftyNovus is out of book now. Nb6 was the first calculated move.
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Bxc5 is principal
BlkSabb(1765) whispers: ...Nb6 seems to be a novelty
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: forced line QxQ Nxc7 and Bf1
Scenic(2347) whispers: yes ChessBase says Nb6 is novelty, but they are sometimes not 100% right:)
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: not sure black has enough compensation for a pawn
SimianChatter(1925) whispers: does Ivanica have access to crafty's opening book during the game?
Scenic(2347) whispers: no
14.Bxc5 (6:13) dxc5 (0:01)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.44; nps=10.0M; nfp=64.44; time=6:14; egtb=0
15.Qxd8 (0:04)
Mekk(1758) whispers: I remember crafty sometimes misplayed endings...
unluckythirtyfive(1551) whispers: drawish?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: black will fight for a draw
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: isnt RxQ only move now
Mekk(1758) whispers: What about bxc3 after Nxc7?
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: White will win 100% of these pure pawn endings.
Rxd8 (1:09)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.46; nps=9.5M; nfp=80.37; time=1:13; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: no Ivanica has no access to any opening book
16.Nxc7 (0:06)
SimianChatter(1925) whispers: is this a bit like a lopez exchange (strategy-wise) except white has the other bishop?
Scenic(2347) whispers: Rb8 is only move here. Bxc3 not an option.
SimianChatter(1925) whispers: and a pawn
robertj(1649) whispers: does not look good for black for my amateur eye
MAd(1611) whispers: do you have crafty lines robert?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Rb8 Bf1!
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Perhaps black can set up a fortress, but I believe computers are bad at such things.
DeanA(2196) whispers: Rb8 Bf1 Rd2 and then?
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty is not setup to whisper its lines
Rb8 (3:09)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.59; nps=9.7M; nfp=83.96; time=3:24; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: is there any compensation fpr the pawn?
robertj(1649) whispers: *for
Scenic(2347) whispers: I think now after Bf1, Bd4 is playable too (or Be5)
17.Rad1 (0:50)
Scenic(2347) whispers: rook exchange then Be6 now maybe
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Be6!?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: its clear now, black hasno winning chances at all
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Nb6 was dubious novelty
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty is thinking about Be6
Scenic(2347) whispers: true...
robertj(1649) whispers: but after that it may have an isolated pawn
Scenic(2347) whispers: is Bd4 still playable now?
Be6 (3:09)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.29; nps=9.7M; nfp=83.19; time=3:09; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty is thinking 20 plies deep, that is deep
Scenic(2347) whispers: ops;)
robertj(1649) whispers: isolated e pawn and pawn down, can this be held
Scenic(2347) whispers: roook exchange and N3d5 now?
DeanA(2196) whispers: This does not look hopeless at all for black imo
MAd(1611) whispers: why exchaning rooks?
RegalOne(0) whispers: IMHO, all black can hope for is a draw
Scenic(2347) whispers: rook maybe better on e file if N lands on d5
robertj(1649) whispers: will black's b pawn fall?
18.Nxe6 (2:52) fxe6 (0:26)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=22; eval=+0.50; nps=9.8M; nfp=95.65; time=3:18; egtb=0
theblob(1786) whispers: black thinks he's winning
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: black has good chances to draw
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: d5
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: opposite colored bishops
Scenic(2347) whispers: So back to your Bf1 now, Petrovich?
Mekk(1758) whispers: No, +0.50 means crafty considers white to have significant plus
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: yep what else
RegalOne(0) whispers: No, Crafty's eval score is for white.
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Bf1
theblob(1786) whispers: ah
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty assesses 0.5 pawns plus for white
Scenic(2347) whispers: maybe e5 (with or without rook exchange first) an idea?
RegalOne(0) whispers: I like B3 myself
Mekk(1758) whispers: b3 Bxc3
Scenic(2347) whispers: ;)
RegalOne(0) whispers: Then Crafty can have the knight :)
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Difficult to win for white.
Mekk(1758) whispers: Maybe black could try to play e5 and knight d7-f8-e6-d4 ?
GBate(1724) whispers: Difficult for players like us, maybe ;)
robertj(1649) whispers: looks like Crafty will end up with three isolated pawn, how can this be good?
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Yes, I find it difficult to activate the white bishop and still have the advantage.
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: go Kiril:)
Scenic(2347) whispers: :)
robertj(1649) whispers: what about b3
FusterCluck(1686) whispers: how about e5 followed by Nb5 - d6?
19.e5 (6:20)
Scenic(2347) whispers: b3 and the knight on c3 is toast:)
Mekk(1758) whispers: now Nb6 is pathetic...
proudpawn(1662) whispers: what about Nxc4 attacking e5
Scenic(2347) whispers: ok, now eat the c4 pawn, but I bet the comp will exchange rooks first and take on e5
FusterCluck(1686) whispers: from d6 white knight would be very powerfull
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Bf1 Bxc3 and Na4!? probably
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: e4-e5 is interesting try
robertj(1649) whispers: ah right Scenic, I can't see a combination of zero moves :)
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: an idea is to lock bishop g7 by Nxc4 f4!
Rxd1 (2:35)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=21; eval=+0.50; nps=9.8M; nfp=89.67; time=2:34; egtb=0
Scenic(2347) whispers: lol robert
Mekk(1758) whispers: Nxd1 or e5 falls....
Scenic(2347) whispers: yes f4 looks strong after nxc4, but maybe the comp wont eat c4...
DeanA(2196) whispers: Seeing that f4 is strong after Nxc4 is hard for a comp.
Scenic(2347) whispers: either rx and bxe5 or nx and nxc4, only moves here i think
robertj(1649) whispers: so the material will be even then?
Mekk(1758) whispers: What is white to do after Rxd1 and Bxd5? Rd6 ?
Mekk(1758) whispers: tfu, of course not
Scenic(2347) whispers: after rxd1 bxe5 then Ne4! looks neat
robertj(1649) whispers: is black's knight permanently or temporarily bad?
20.Rxd1 (5:44) Bxe5 (0:01)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=21; eval=+0.48; nps=10.1M; nfp=102.56; time=5:45; egtb=0
21.Ne4 (0:13)
Starbreeze(0) whispers: Rybka shows +0,38
DeanA(2196) whispers: If black can play Nxc4 nw, the knight is good not bad.
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: almost =
Scenic(2347) whispers: the Bd4 idea for black comes back to my mind:) go for f2 ;)
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty thinks about Bd4 now
Scenic(2347) whispers: but maybe nxc4 or bxb2 even better. i dunno
Bd4 (1:50)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.47; nps=9.9M; nfp=99.61; time=2:02; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: GMPetrovich, isn't black worst?
DeanA(2196) whispers: Bd4 and Nd7 is possible
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: b3
22.b3 (1:23)
Mekk(1758) whispers: a4 ?
Na8 (0:35)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=19; eval=+0.48; nps=9.7M; nfp=91.26; time=1:59; egtb=0
Mekk(1758) whispers: woooow
Mekk(1758) whispers: For some reason one of the games kramnik-fritz comes to mind ;-)
Litovec(1783) whispers: great knight
Scenic(2347) whispers: na8?! wow whats that? I thought rd8 or something....
gipfeli(1509) whispers: .
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Nc7
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Nb6 was really bad placed
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: Ng5
DeanA(2196) whispers: lol no one bet on Na8?
Scenic(2347) whispers: Nd6 now looks promising
robertj(1649) whispers: I think the knight has to be activated
Scenic(2347) whispers: no, deana
DeanA(2196) whispers: Rf8 followed by Nd7 looked much better to me than Na8.
Mekk(1758) whispers: after Nd7 Nxc5 ?
DeanA(2196) whispers: Rf8 first...
23.h4 (3:03)
DeanA(2196) whispers: Then there were all kinds of xf2 possibilities.
Scenic(2347) whispers: h4 was kind of unexpected;)
Mekk(1758) whispers: Planning Bh3?
Nc7 (1:27)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=19; eval=+0.42; nps=9.9M; nfp=99.50; time=1:26; egtb=0
Scenic(2347) whispers: So CN is going for nc7 plan now, no?
24.Rd2 (0:57)
DeanA(2196) whispers: White is a tiny bit better in the endgame. A good starting point for winning against a strong comp.
b6 (1:26)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=18; eval=+0.36; nps=10.0M; nfp=102.79; time=1:24; egtb=0
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: white will try for h4-h5, to create weakness g6 or h7
25.Bf3 (0:46)
robertj(1649) whispers: is black's e pawn a big weaknes?
h6 (1:23)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=18; eval=+0.23; nps=10.0M; nfp=105.96; time=1:22; egtb=0
26.Kg2 (0:08)
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: not big
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: i'd say "symbolic"
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Comp will hold position easily, i think
Ne8 (1:22)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=18; eval=+0.22; nps=9.9M; nfp=100.01; time=1:20; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: thanks GMPetrovich, can you explain to us amateur how do you asses that?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: black is going to exchange knights
cesarsf(0) whispers: can I save this game to review it later?
27.h5 (2:06)
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: 273 RB vs RB is dead drawish..
Scenic(2347) whispers: type moves for ex, or look in your interface cesar
Scenic(2347) whispers: at least Georgievs plan is understandable;)
MAd(1611) whispers: the game will be in the plyers history
g5 (1:18)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.11; nps=10.0M; nfp=109.40; time=1:18; egtb=0
Mekk(1758) whispers: Watchbot should also store it together with comments
28.Bg4 (0:25)
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: i think its drawis but whits looks like he stills have the initiative
Kf7 (1:17)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.10; nps=10.1M; nfp=111.54; time=1:16; egtb=0
nivo(1820) whispers: when is game two
robertj(1649) whispers: opposite coloured bishops, anybody knows something about those type of endings?
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: is it possible to exchange to a favourable endgame for white
robertj(1649) whispers: tomorrow same time
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: is bishop vs knight good for white
DeanA(2196) whispers: Getting Bd4 is going to take some effort though.
Mekk(1758) whispers: Nf6, NxN, e5 and how could white touch anything?
nivo(1820) whispers: it will be interesting if it gets down to 5 pieces or less to see how he manages against nalimov table bases
Scenic(2347) whispers: I wonder if f4 is now worth a try...
Scenic(2347) whispers: lol, nivo
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty will tell in its whisper it endgame tablebases were consulted in search, if egtb > 0
29.Re2 (3:37)
robertj(1649) whispers: *if endgame
CLH(2143) whispers: Rb7
CLH(2143) whispers: Rb7Be6+
Rd8 (1:15)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.10; nps=10.1M; nfp=99.80; time=1:14; egtb=0
Scenic(2347) whispers: i was betting on e5 hm.....
DeanA(2196) whispers: e5 almost turns Bd4 into a pawn...
TimDin(1537) whispers: surely black should play e5 unless neccessary as it blocks in the bishop
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: i cant wait in a couple of years i shall kno what is going on in this game lol but till then keep whispering :)
Scenic(2347) whispers: could he continue with f4 now?
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: i dont like f4 though it looks to iffy
30.Rd2 (2:33)
Scenic(2347) whispers: too early to offer repetition...
Scenic(2347) whispers: will CN now Nf6 and trade or Nd6... I just wonder
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: does ne one kno why its only 2 matches and not 3 ?
Mekk(1758) whispers: Ng7 -> f5. Just to make us guessing again
Ke7 (1:24)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.08; nps=9.9M; nfp=106.05; time=1:24; egtb=0
CLH(2143) whispers: and yet, some move like Nf6 would kill the game
pollock(1967) whispers: go crafty novus!
31.Kf1 (0:28)
toddmf(2275) whispers: matches usually have an even number of games so that each side has the same number of whites
TimDin(1537) whispers: i suppose two days in the weekend
DeanA(2196) whispers: Killing the game vs a 2600+ GM would be exactly my goal. :)
TimDin(1537) whispers: ya that makes more sense
CLH(2143) whispers: seconded!
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Isn't the black king overloaded? A combination ?
Scenic(2347) whispers: for some reasons, Georgiev doesnt like f4... hmmm
Nd6 (1:10)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=19; eval=+0.08; nps=9.9M; nfp=102.92; time=1:09; egtb=0
pollock(1967) whispers: hows the black king overloaded?
pollock(1967) whispers: would be if bd4 wasnt there suppose
32.Re2 (0:20)
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Protect both rook and pawn.
CLH(2143) whispers: well I think f4 is kept in store. Just the type of "sit" tactics computers like, usually
TimDin(1537) whispers: crafynovus rating nearly equal now
robertj(1649) whispers: if the knights are to be exchanged how to assess the opposite colour bishop ending?
Scenic(2347) whispers: Nf7 now finally
Nf7 (1:10)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=19; eval=-0.03; nps=10.1M; nfp=103.05; time=1:09; egtb=0
Mekk(1758) whispers: Hmm, -0.03
pollock(1967) whispers: f4 gxf4 and both have ruined pawn structures?
DeanA(2196) whispers: If Ns are exchanged it looks a reasonably dead draw to me.
robertj(1649) whispers: why is knight good on f7?
Mekk(1758) whispers: Crafty thinks it has some plus. So it will be trying to win
pollock(1967) whispers: knight can go to e5 and stops nxg5 sac ideas
robertj(1649) whispers: 0.03 pawns is hardy any plus, but tru the first time in the game Crafty think it has "advantage"
pollock(1967) whispers: and stops the nxc5 sac here
komyt(1832) kibitzes: is there audio commentary for this game?
CraftyNovus(2382) kibitzes: What's harder than stone, softer than water? Yet soft water carves the hardest stone.
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: komyt dont kibitz
33.Rd2 (2:35) Rf8 (0:01)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=21; eval=-0.19; nps=10.1M; nfp=111.48; time=2:36; egtb=0
pollock(1967) whispers: can be philsopical while playing crafty is my hero :)
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: i have 2 ?'s how is black supposedly winnig (has the initiative ) and who is ivanica ?
Scenic(2347) whispers: ivanica is GM Kiril Georgiev
robertj(1649) whispers: Ivanica is GM Kiril Georgiev
pollock(1967) whispers: white may be trying to engineer a3 b4
robertj(1649) whispers: ah
Scenic(2347) whispers: after not exchanging the knights now, N will come to e5... I think the situation is turned now...
34.Kg2 (2:09)
komyt(1832) whispers: i'll try again, is there audio commentary for this game?
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: so craftynovous is like a souped up version of the crafty on babas chess
Scenic(2347) whispers: white is looking like a comp with no plan now, just shuffling pieces... omg
DeanA(2196) whispers: After Ne5 and g4, the pawn on h5 suddenly looks very weak
Scenic(2347) whispers: there is no free audio for this match, but chesstelevision.com is covering the event.
cesarsf(0) whispers: Ne5
Ne5 (1:08)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=21; eval=-0.13; nps=10.1M; nfp=105.57; time=1:07; egtb=1
35.Be2 (0:04)
komyt(1832) whispers: thnx scenic
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: why not bd1
pollock(1967) whispers: mayb g4 rd1 rf5 rh1 and g4 is just as weak
g4 (1:01)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=21; eval=-0.13; nps=10.1M; nfp=108.27; time=1:06; egtb=0
pollock(1967) whispers: think to allow rd1 , bd1 was my favourite move
36.Rd1 (0:05)
Scenic(2347) whispers: Be2 ????? wow...
Mekk(1758) whispers: Last square to enter play for bishop is probably c2...
Mekk(1758) whispers: is he going to h4??
pollock(1967) whispers: think so
Nf3 (1:07)
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=21; eval=-0.13; nps=10.1M; nfp=103.34; time=1:12; egtb=0
pollock(1967) whispers: erm
Mekk(1758) whispers: hmm, not anymor
pollock(1967) whispers: this looks troublesome
robertj(1649) whispers: what?
DeanA(2196) whispers: Rh1 Nd2!?
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: gm petrovich what are ur feelings of be2 ?
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: do u think bd1 was better ?
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Let the knight stand there?
Scenic(2347) whispers: f3 would have maybe hold against be2
Scenic(2347) whispers: only move is to exchange I guess...
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: nd2
pollock(1967) whispers: bxf3 gxf3 kh3? looks risky
Scenic(2347) whispers: kf1 is could maybe hold this...
