benneyboy(2013) vs. freeboot(1855) 1-0

Login to get PGN standard 45+45, 2019-11-11

10...Ng8 (6:49) 11.Nf3 (3:08) Nge7 (0:49) 12.Bb5 (3:51) Bd7 (4:29)
freeboot(1855) whispers: One's head explodes in the tactical mess.
13.Rb3 (2:52) Qa5 (4:57) 14.Qb1 (0:57) Nf5 (15:32) 15.Bxc6 (10:30) Bxc6 (2:34) 16.Ne5 (0:36) Nxd6 (0:38) 17.Nxc6 (0:16) Qa6+ (3:17) 18.Kg1 (0:46) Qxc6 (0:04) 19.cxd6 (0:02) b6 (0:22) 20.d7+ (0:54) Qxd7 (0:31) 21.g4 (0:59) Qc6 (0:36) 22.c3 (2:02) O-O (0:16) 23.h4 (0:36) Qc4 (1:01) 24.g5 (3:51)
freeboot(1855) whispers: 4. Qd1 might have been better. I think that Black builds an edge with 24...Qg4+ even though it doesn't involve a capture. The point is that the White King is destabilised and c4 is left vacant for occupation by a Black rook.
24...Qg4+ (2:30) 25.Kf1 (0:05)
freeboot(1855) whispers: If things don't work out there's always Qc4+.
25...Rfc8 (0:43) 26.Rb4 (0:34)
freeboot(1855) whispers: Qg4 also put a momentary pause on the White pawn roller, and pinned the Rh1. White still have firepower.
freeboot(1855) whispers: In my view exchanges favour Black in this position.
26...Rc4 (0:50) 27.Rxc4 (0:11) Qxc4+ (0:00) 28.Kg2 (0:17)
freeboot(1855) whispers: Black can take the extra pawn, or simplify with Qf4+. I struggle in situations like these.
freeboot(1855) whispers: 28...Qxc3 29. Rc1 looks scary.
28...Qg4+ (1:57) 29.Kf1 (0:12)
freeboot(1855) whispers: Now, for the only truly consistent move I've played this whole game:
29...Rc8 (0:26)
freeboot(1855) whispers: I feel that this rook moves brings Black's middle game together. The checks have been useful intermezzos. The c pawn is properly en prise now, and simplification might come at less expense.
30.Qe1 (2:10)
freeboot(1855) whispers: One idea for White was 30. Rg1+ Qxh4 31. Rh1 Qa4 (say) 32. Qxh7+ It's far from forced and overlooks 31...Qc4+, but I have to watch out for traps like these.
30...Qc4+ (1:39) 31.Qe2 (0:17)
freeboot(1855) whispers: Unforced simplification. White might have tired of the lack of coordination of his pieces. I now feel confident to call this position won for Black (blunders notwithstanding.)
31...Qxe2+ (1:50) 32.Kxe2 (0:00) Rxc3 (0:02)
freeboot(1855) whispers: Patience has paid off. The c pawn falls eventually.
33.h5 (1:51)
freeboot(1855) whispers: Black mustn't be too greedy to chase the a pawn at the expense of the c file. Also, the back rank weakness will need to be address. Possibly the last hope for White is a pawn storm on the kingside, but it looks like the pawns will interlock.
33...g6 (1:55) 34.h6 (0:11) b5 (0:39) 35.Rb1 (1:03) a6 (0:09) 36.a4 (0:09) Rc5 (0:11) 37.axb5 (0:26) axb5 (0:16) 38.Ra1 (0:50) Rc8 (0:29)
milpat(1874) whispers: now i believe in white's drawing chances
39.Ra7 (0:56) Rb8 (0:05) 40.Kd3 (0:30) b4 (0:04) 41.Kc2 (0:06) b3+ (0:17) 42.Kb2 (0:06) Kf8 (0:07) 43.Ra5 (2:37)
milpat(1874) whispers: how black makes progress now?
43...Ke7 (2:17) 44.Ra7+ (0:13) Ke8 (0:02) 45.f3 (0:52) Benneyboy offers a draw.
freeboot(1855) whispers: (A not unreasnable offer.) freeboot declines the draw request.
45...Kf8 (5:21) 46.Ra5 (0:07) Ke7 (1:47) 47.Ra7+ (0:04) Ke8 (0:03) 48.Ra5 (0:57) Rb7 (3:30) 49.Ra8+ (1:56) Ke7 (0:04) 50.Rh8 (0:04)
milpat(1874) whispers: hum....
50...e5 (0:31) 51.Rxh7 (0:14) d4 (0:27)
milpat(1874) whispers: white will queen? :o
milpat(1874) whispers: Rh8 dxe3 Rc8...
milpat(1874) whispers: (or Ra8)
milpat(1874) whispers: very wise to use time here
52.Rh8 (6:20)
milpat(1874) whispers: Go Ben!!
milpat(1874) whispers: BANZAIIII
52...Ke6 (5:49)
milpat(1874) whispers: h7 is fast!
53.Re8+ (0:54) Kf5 (0:11) 54.h7 (0:39)
freeboot(1855) whispers: And Black is lost.
54...dxe3 (0:11) 55.h8=Q (0:04) Kf4 (0:07) 56.Qxe5+ (0:09) Kxf3 (0:02) 57.Qe4+ (0:02) Kf2 (0:02) 58.Qxb7 (0:02)
milpat(1874) whispers: rook endings are so cruel sometimes
58...e2 (0:02) 59.Qxf7+ (0:07) Kg3 (0:05) 60.Rxe2 (0:07) Kg4 (0:04) 61.Qxb3 (0:11) Kxg5 (0:03) 62.Qg3+ (0:08) Kf6 (0:04) 63.Rg2 (0:01) g5 (0:04) 64.Qxg5+ (0:01) Kf7 (0:02) 65.Qg6+ (0:02) Kf8 (0:02) 66.Qg7+ (0:03) Ke8 (0:02) 67.Rh2 (0:03) freeboot resigns 1-0
