1.e4 (0:00) e6 (0:00)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: meh, the french opening
2.d4 (0:12) d5 (0:13) 3.e5 (0:22) c5 (0:13) 4.c3 (1:02) Nc6 (0:44)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: Not sure if Valiant read some of my whispers in previous games, but I don't like to play much this variant (at least is not a queen's pawn game, but of course it couldn't as I'm white)
5.Nf3 (0:43) g6 (0:22)
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: hmm g6 is rather rare
6.Be2 (2:06) h5 (0:39)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: I need to get back in shape, already forgot what goes next in these lines
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: ah, makes sense now
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: this is analogous to some modern lines
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: Last game I made an obvious mistake in the opening :(
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: even so, can't find an example in my database, so it's rather novel
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: similar line can also come from a caro-kann - e4 c6 d4 d5 Nc3 g6 Nf3 h5
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: white gains by having played c3, black by having played c5 in one go
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: e4-e5 having been played probably favours black too
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: but on the other hand, no Bg4xf3
7.O-O (4:36) a5 (0:16) 8.Qc2 (3:09) c4 (0:18)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: His king seems a bit wide open, I'm thinking on sac the knight with Nh4-xg6 and then use the bishops to get in
9.Nh4 (1:57)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: gah
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: just realized how dumb that was XD
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: Qxh4
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: yeah...
9...Nge7 (1:04)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: And he missed it :O
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: That's what you gotta love in high-rated games, you think your opponent did calculated the "sac", but it was just a blunder
10.f4 (1:35) Nf5 (1:00) 11.Nxf5 (0:07) gxf5 (0:07)
RoyRogersC(1933) whispers: Go Valiantangel!
12.Be3 (2:44)
JoshuaR(1789) whispers: teammate vs former teammate. good luck to both but go samuraigoroh!
12...a4 (2:09)
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: wow, that's cold ;)
13.Nd2 (0:47)
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: or maybe I'm just a terrible cynic.
13...b5 (0:43) 14.a3 (0:15)
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: hmm, would have been better to keep the option of b3 open, I think
14...Bd7 (2:13)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: I think I'll need to relocate the king to the middle while I try to open through the g file, or try to stay on h1 as white squares are safe
15.Nf3 (2:35)
JoshuaR(1789) whispers: one thing i do remember VA always played quick
15...Qe7 (1:02) 16.Bf2 (0:12) h4 (0:14) 17.h3 (1:01) Na5 (0:29)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: I think I might get able to get that h pawn, but it would also mean that he can go through easier
18.Qd1 (2:23) Qd8 (0:10)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: Mmm, I think this game will end locked and no one can do much about it...
19.Kh2 (5:11) Nb3 (0:16) 20.Rb1 (0:02) Bc6 (0:03)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: I feel that if I want to win, I must play Bxh4 and let the game unfold, but not sure if I should...
21.Bxh4 (3:28) Rxh4 (0:08) 22.Nxh4 (0:01) Qxh4 (0:02) 23.Qe1 (1:02) Qh6 (0:10) 24.Bd1 (0:14) Be7 (0:57) 25.Bxb3 (0:10) axb3 (0:04) 26.Qg3 (0:14) Kd7 (0:04) 27.Qe3 (1:57) Rg8 (0:24) 28.Rf3 (2:11) Bh4 (2:50) 29.Rg1 (4:51) Kc7 (1:15) 30.g4 (1:26) fxg4 (0:10) 31.Rxg4 (0:01) Rxg4 (0:48) 32.hxg4 (0:03) Bf2+ (0:02) 33.Rh3 (0:01) Bxe3 (0:07) 34.Rxh6 (0:01) Bxf4+ (0:01)
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: Forgot the check :(
SamuraiGoroh(1797) whispers: If the f pawn just wasn't there, maybe I could had forced to trade bishop per pawn and pull a draw, but I screwed it...
SamuraiGoroh resigns 0-1
