1.d4(0:00)d5(0:00) 2.Nf3(0:22)Nc6(0:42) 3.Bf4(1:05)e6(1:03) 4.e3(0:40)Nf6(0:58) 5.Bb5(2:02)a6(0:40) 6.Ba4(3:16)b5(1:19) 7.Bb3(0:07)Na5(0:36) 8.a4(4:10)Nxb3(0:18) 9.cxb3(0:06)Bb4+(0:08) 10.Nbd2(1:13)Ne4(0:50) 11.axb5(0:17)a5(0:34) 12.O-O(1:41)O-O(1:46) 13.Nxe4(4:41)dxe4(0:08) 14.Ne5(0:08)Qd5(1:54)
Turamon(1756) whispers: go Piotr! go the eye!
15.Qc2(7:05)Bd6(2:48) 16.Bg3(3:20)
Turamon(1756) whispers: hm. 16. Qc4 looked good to me Turamon(1756) whispers: but Piotr seemed to have seen a better way to make this position work.
16...Rd8(2:51) 17.Nc6(0:53)Re8(0:46)
kliszek(1823) whispers: if Nxa5 then Qxb5
18.Qc4(2:48)Bxg3(0:57) 19.hxg3(0:22)f5(2:05)
Turamon(1756) whispers: Rxa5 wins a pawn and I do not see a good strategy for black to avoid the rook exchange and to get his lsb into the game
20.Nxa5(2:35)
Turamon(1756) whispers: why taking with the knight? Turamon(1756) whispers: this offers black Rb8 and maybe Bd7. taking with the rook would have forced the rook exchange ... Turamon(1756) whispers: but maybe I'm wrong here. kliszek(1823) whispers: ...Rb8 seems good
20...Rb8(4:49) 21.Nc6(0:45)
Turamon(1756) whispers: hm it allows Rxb5
21...Rxb5(0:18)
Turamon(1756) whispers: and it looks like white is losing at least one more pawn now
22.Qxd5(1:21)exd5(1:12)
Turamon(1756) whispers: Ra8 looks nice
23.Ra7(5:20)
Turamon(1756) whispers: ok this looks also very nice :) Turamon(1756) whispers: if black play carelessly there might be two nice knight forks
23...Rxb3(2:37)
kliszek(1823) whispers: with the thread 23... Rxb324. Rxc7 Rxb2 25. Ne7+ wihth fork
24.Rxc7(0:21)
Turamon(1756) whispers: go Piotr! go the eye! I knew this would be your plan
24...Rxb2(0:06)
Turamon(1756) whispers: yes
25.Ne7+(0:05)
kliszek(1823) whispers: and lost quality is probably the smallest damage Turamon(1756) whispers: well you're going home with a full piece advantage, no? Turamon(1756) whispers: Rxc8 Rxc8 Nxc8 or Rxc8 Kf7 Rxe8 Kxe8 Nxd5
25...Kf8(3:05)
kliszek(1823) whispers: im afraid that was worse choice...
26.Nxc8(0:33)
Turamon(1756) whispers: indeed Turamon(1756) whispers: and I guess f5 is the next pawn to fall Turamon(1756) whispers: if black wants to keep it going maybe Rb8 but then Nd6 Turamon(1756) whispers: if Nxc8 white is a full rook ahead ...
26...Re6(5:32)
Turamon(1756) whispers: I don't see an attack for black that is not fueled by careless play of white. and I don't see piotr being careless today. Turamon(1756) whispers: so Rc1 should suffice, no?
27.Ra1(4:58)Rb8(1:46)
Turamon(1756) whispers: there's some kind of double backrank mate, I hope Piotr sees this: Ra7 Rb1+ Kh2 Rh6++
28.Na7(1:44)Ra8(1:59)
Turamon(1756) whispers: uh oh bad move
29.Rac1(0:12)
Turamon(1756) whispers: now white's in full control again, at least one rook exchange is about to happen Turamon(1756) whispers: looks like the eye's going to the finals :) was about time again
29...Re7(2:35) 30.Rxe7(0:21)Kxe7(0:14) 31.Rc7+(0:08)Kf6(0:26) 32.Kh2(1:10)h6(0:37) 33.f3(1:36)g5(1:51) 34.g4(0:41)f4(1:23) 35.exf4(1:02)gxf4(0:14) 36.Kg1(1:02)e3(0:29) 37.Kf1(0:29)Kg5(0:58)
Turamon(1756) whispers: white should be fine here but I'm not sure if this was the safest solution ... my heart stopped for a moment when that pawn became a passed one
38.Rg7+(4:40)Kh4(0:16)
Turamon(1756) whispers: uh black's going to regret that move LJMon(1848) whispers: yeah a mate threat there
39.Rh7(0:35)Kg3(0:09)
Turamon(1756) whispers: mate in two now LJMon(1848) whispers: the end
40.Re7(1:25)
Turamon(1756) whispers: why?
40...Rb8(0:28)
Turamon(1756) whispers: oh my LJMon(1848) whispers: Rxh6 was the move Turamon(1756) whispers: yes. LJMon(1848) whispers: OK he queens Turamon(1756) whispers: black? no LJMon(1848) whispers: wait...let me look at this again LJMon(1848) whispers: sorry there was no mate
41.Nc6(1:41)Rb1+(0:10) 42.Ke2(0:04)Rb2+(0:01)
Turamon(1756) whispers: no there was not mate but also Rxh6 made sense LJMon(1848) whispers: black is equal now
43.Kd3(0:36)
LJMon(1848) whispers: Rxh6 e2+
43...Kf2(0:21)
LJMon(1848) whispers: mat threat LJMon(1848) whispers: mate Turamon(1756) whispers: where? LJMon(1848) whispers: Rd2 Turamon(1756) whispers: Kxe2 without any danger LJMon(1848) whispers: I am seeing things..... Turamon(1756) whispers: there's no mate for white we both were wrong on that Turamon(1756) whispers: but there was no mate for black too LJMon(1848) whispers: yes
44.g5(1:51)
Turamon(1756) whispers: and here I'm not sure about black queening. LJMon(1848) whispers: hxg5 Turamon(1756) whispers: yeah LJMon(1848) whispers: black is better
44...hxg5(1:19)
Turamon(1756) whispers: but I guess Piotr is bringing the knight back ... hxg5 Ne5 e2 Ng4+ Turamon(1756) whispers: but I'm not sure if white will be better or equal after that
45.Ne5(1:03)e2(1:28)
Turamon(1756) whispers: uh, I guess better of course
46.Ng4+(0:09)
Turamon(1756) whispers: pawn and knight vs pawn and pawn
46...Kxg2(0:15)
Turamon(1756) whispers: wow pawn, pawn, knight vs 3 pawns
47.Rxe2+(0:22)
Turamon(1756) whispers: Piotr is an endgame genious LJMon(1848) whispers: nicely played
47...Rxe2(0:20)
kliszek(1823) whispers: i think Kxf3 was better...
48.Kxe2(0:15)
Turamon(1756) whispers: probably,
Macaroni offers a draw.
kliszek declines the draw request.
Turamon(1756) whispers: a draw Turamon(1756) whispers: is Macaroni kidding? Turamon(1756) whispers: man up Macaroni
48...Kg1(1:03)
kliszek(1823) whispers: because two connected pawns and close black king against rook can win LJMon(1848) whispers: white should win kliszek(1823) whispers: nad now again white is better Turamon(1756) whispers: Ne4 to avoid any draw and then get your king going
49.Nf6(0:47)
Turamon(1756) whispers: this draw offers in not drawn positions are embarassing
49...Kg2(1:01)
kliszek(1823) whispers: my biggest mistake of this game was probably starting to move the pawns on king side leaving the Kingth on the far bad post Turamon(1756) whispers: this is my guess too Turamon(1756) whispers: I wasn't sure while you were playing because you're very good with pawns so I thought you might have seen something I was missing
50.Nxd5(1:08)
LJMon(1848) whispers: now g4 is bad
50...Kg3(0:16)
Turamon(1756) whispers: no
51.Nf6(0:08)
LJMon(1848) whispers: the end Turamon(1756) whispers: g4, Nxf4 and the knight would sacrifice for the last black pawn
51...g4(0:38)
Turamon(1756) whispers: king would not have been needed to prevent queening and the d pawn would outrun the black king LJMon(1848) whispers: pawn Qs Turamon(1756) whispers: Nx and the deal is done kliszek(1823) whispers: if 49... g4 than also 50. Nxd5 with the check thread next move LJMon(1848) whispers: d5
52.Nxg4(0:32)
Turamon(1756) whispers: what an exciting game! LJMon(1848) whispers: nice game Turamon(1756) whispers: indeed!Macaroni resigns 1-0
