Login to get PGN standard 45+45, 2019-07-05

1.c4 (0:00) Nf6 (0:00) 2.g3 (0:05)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I don't think either of us has prepared too deeply today
2...g6 (0:25) 3.Bg2 (0:05) Bg7 (0:06) 4.Nc3 (0:06) O-O (0:03) 5.Rb1 (0:16) c5 (0:34) 6.a3 (0:14)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: this is not something that I'm very familiar with
Introspection(1786) whispers: that makes two of us.
axeltiger(2263) whispers: but it gives me some time to get in a good ...d5 push it seems
axeltiger(2263) whispers: that cannot be a bad thing I think
6...e6 (3:04) 7.b4 (1:17) d5 (3:47)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: let's stick to the plan
8.cxd5 (1:46)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I thought he'd take on c5 instead
8...cxb4 (0:17) 9.axb4 (0:51)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: this makes me kind of happy, since now I really get a great deal of piece activity.
axeltiger(2263) whispers: only real question is whether I should trade knights or not.
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I'm leaning towards not trading, since otherwise white will get an opportunity to trade away my dsb
9...exd5 (1:56)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: simple threat is ...d5-d4-d3 here
axeltiger(2263) whispers: on d4 I play ...Bf5 with a very nice position
axeltiger(2263) whispers: and on d3 I just play ...d4 I think
10.Nf3 (10:50)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: this was unexpected
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I think I have an idea now
axeltiger(2263) whispers: if I play ...Bf5 followed by ...d4 and ...Nc6, white will be unable to effectively meet the threat of ...a6-Nd5
10...Bf5 (7:37) 11.d3 (2:04)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I just realized that I have to be careful about ...d4 Nxd4 Qxd4 Bxb7, but I don't think that gives white anything
11...d4 (0:39)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: but I should've thought about it before going in with ...Bf5
12.Nb5 (1:12) Nc6 (0:05)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: this is exactly what I was hoping for
axeltiger(2263) whispers: note that white cannot play e3, since the pawn on d3 will hang in the end
axeltiger(2263) whispers: this is the entire point of playing ...Bf5 in the first place
axeltiger(2263) whispers: after ..a6-Nd5 plan, the c3 square looks very juicy...
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I could also play ...Qb6 instead of a6
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I'm quite pleased with how this position has developed
axeltiger(2263) whispers: how serious is the move Bb2 here?
axeltiger(2263) whispers: am I forced to play ...Ne8 then? Looks like that
axeltiger(2263) whispers: that's not ideal, although it could certainly be worse
axeltiger(2263) whispers: Bb2 Ng4 h3 Ne5 is a definite idea
axeltiger(2263) whispers: probably it's the best way to deal with the Bb2 idea
axeltiger(2263) whispers: white may end up with an extra pawn in those lines, but since white's king will become unsafe I don't mind at all
13.Bb2 (9:36)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I'm just trying to figure out whether ...Ng4 is too impatient
axeltiger(2263) whispers: ...Ne8 may actually be a bit stronger...
13...Ne8 (12:09)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: this way I keep the option of playing ...Qb6 instead of a6
axeltiger(2263) whispers: most moves besides 0-0 should be unplayable here
14.Qa4 (2:51)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: this cannot be correct
14...a6 (1:05) 15.Na3 (1:55) b5 (0:30)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: Qd1 seems mandatory to me
16.Qd1 (1:59)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: seems like it's safe to take on b4 now
axeltiger(2263) whispers: or maybe not
axeltiger(2263) whispers: Nxb4 Nxd4!
axeltiger(2263) whispers: that is a strong idea
16...Rc8 (4:23)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: so I really have to play like this
axeltiger(2263) whispers: not what I was hoping for, but Nc2 is not so easy for white to play here
17.Qd2 (1:25) Be6 (4:06) 18.Ba1 (5:27) Nc7 (1:55) 19.O-O (3:04) PankracyRozumek offers a draw. axeltiger declines the draw request.
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I may not have much here, but the position is so far from played out that it's a chess sin not to continue
19...Nd5 (1:43) 20.Nc2 (0:37)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: interesting decision
20...Nc3 (0:46)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I wish to play Bb3 and just take the knight on c2
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I think black just wins a pawn then
21.Bxc3 (6:03) dxc3 (0:05) 22.Qf4 (0:55)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: the knight on c2 is what holds white's position together
axeltiger(2263) whispers: if I manage to snatch it, I should just win
22...Ba2 (6:15) 23.Ra1 (3:20) Bb3 (0:05) 24.Rfc1 (0:34) Bxc2 (2:09) 25.Rxc2 (0:20) a5 (0:04) 26.bxa5 (2:04) b4 (0:03) 27.Rb1 (1:37)
axeltiger(2263) whispers: I don't know what white is supposed to do here
27...Qxa5 (0:10) PankracyRozumek resigns 0-1
