ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: e5 is already rare, and exd4 also much less played than Qxd4

ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: guess I'm winging it today}
5.Bb5+ {(6:17)} c6 {(0:37)

milpat(1970) whispers: Go ShaK!}
6.Bc4 {(0:06)} Nf6 {(0:38)} 7.Ng5 {(0:06)} Bb4+ {(1:05)

milpat(1970) whispers: i suppose c3 is cool}
8.c3 {(3:57)} Qe7+ {(1:05)} 9.Kf1 {(0:21)} dxc3 {(3:44)

ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: this has become a bastard evans gambit

milpat(1970) whispers: where white has not castled :o}
10.Bxf7+ {(5:48)} Kf8 {(1:06)} 11.Qb3 {(0:21)} Bf5 {(5:38)} 12.N1f3 {(2:59)} Nbd7 {(0:27)} 13.bxc3 {(2:32)} Bd6 {(3:51)

milpat(1970) whispers: Nd4 appears tempting?

milpat(1970) whispers: though Nc5 is going to happen}
14.Be3 {(4:02)} h6 {(3:34)} 15.Be6 {(1:32)

axeltiger(2302) whispers: wow, this is some crazy stuff}
15...Bd3+ {(1:26)

axeltiger(2302) whispers: Bd30

axeltiger(2302) whispers: this just wins a piece right?

axeltiger(2302) whispers: but then again, white has an attack going

smallblackcat(2317) whispers: BOTH kings on f-square is pretty amusing}
16.Kg1 {(0:36)

axeltiger(2302) whispers: it's not going to be trivial to win, even though I suspect that black is indeed winning here}
16...hxg5 {(0:17)} 17.Nxg5 {(1:03)

smallblackcat(2317) whispers: well the light squares around black's king are very vulnerable}
17...Nc5 {(3:29)} 18.Bxc5 {(1:12)} Bxc5 {(0:47)} 19.Rd1 {(0:12)

smallblackcat(2317) whispers: trouble is, no easy way to bring the last piece into the attack

milpat(1970) whispers: thought of h4/Rh3}
19...Ne4 {(2:06)

ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: was hoping for Rd8 Nf7, this is a little unexpected and annoying

axeltiger(2302) whispers: ok this seems like a good way to simplify the position

ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: really wish I knew half the things going on

axeltiger(2302) whispers: it's a bit tricky

ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: not sure why I do this to myself every game

axeltiger(2302) whispers: but I don't think that Nxe4 is good enough for white

axeltiger(2302) whispers: basically Nxe4 Bxe4 Rd7 Rd8

axeltiger(2302) whispers: hmmm

axeltiger(2302) whispers: wait, there is a queen on b3

axeltiger(2302) whispers: then it might be playable

ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: Rxd3 Nxg5 is no good, eliminate

axeltiger(2302) whispers: but there is Qg5 after Rd7

axeltiger(2302) whispers: tough to defend against two mate threats

axeltiger(2302) whispers: yeah, this seems like Bion managed to find a nice way to kill

ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: Nxd4 Bxd4 Rd7 looks like the only practical way to play, calculcations be damned}
20.Nxe4 {(6:32)} Bxe4 {(1:03)} 21.Rd7 {(0:07)

milpat(1970) whispers: Rd7 then Qg5 is double threat

axeltiger(2302) whispers: Qg5 now seems like the end

milpat(1970) whispers: Rf7 Ke8 Bd7 Kd8}
21...Qg5 {(1:33)

axeltiger(2302) whispers: indeed

axeltiger(2302) whispers: the double threat of Qxg2 and Qc1 is too much to deal with}
22.g4 {(1:45)

axeltiger(2302) whispers: Now Qc1+ Rd1 Qc2 is curtains if nothing else

axeltiger(2302) whispers: honestly, even Qc1 Rd1 Qf4 looks deadly

axeltiger(2302) whispers: probably even stronger than the first line I gamve}
22...Rd8 {(2:12)}
{ShakaZahn resigns} 0-1

Comments

bionchess (2020-03-08): In retrospect, Ng1f3 would have been more prudent for white.

bionchess (2020-03-08): or Ng1e2

bionchess (2020-03-08): thanks to all who commented.
