Doubleletter(1880) whispers: white is in blitz mode :-o
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: if I were black I would play Nb4 and then "figure it out". I mean, you're not supposed to think in these situations. counter attack, damn the consequences! but that's why I'm rated lower than RiceFarmer ;) 12...d6 (3:16) 13.Nxf6 (0:33) Qxf6 (0:17) 14.Qb3 (0:11)
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: nd4, tempt an exchange
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: then f2 is weak 14...Nd4 (1:08)
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: yeah, baby 15.Qc3 (1:38)
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: c5
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: is he thinking about offering the c7 pawn? 15...Be6 (8:50)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: seems like he can: Be6 Qxc7+ Rf7 Qc3 Rc8
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: all I know is my gut tells me I would like to be black in this position.
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: I agree with your gut
ricefarmer(1965) whispers: a pawn sac
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: if george bush can trust his gut, I can play chess with my gut 16.O-O-O (1:16)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: not sure that lead to great decision making...
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Bxa2 might be possible here 16...c5 (0:51)
ricefarmer(1965) whispers: he didnt fall for it :)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Bxa2 b3 a5 Qb2 a4 Qxa2 bxa3 was interesting
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: at the very least that was 3 pawns for the piece 17.Qd2 (1:39)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Bxa2 again!
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: stops c3
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: and stops b3 in fact
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: oh Bxa2 Bxd4 is critical
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: looks like you can dig the bishop out in time
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: hmm, I'm ignoring white's threat of Bh6+
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: really not sure what to make of that, in some ways its a relief if white gives up his DSQ bishop for the Rf8
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: hard to argue with something like Kh8 though 17...Kg8 (6:04)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: downside is that white can now play c3, but that is not a straight forward choice
ricefarmer(1965) whispers: all my games get into this violent bloodbaths - i would like to play some quiet positional chess or endagmes :) 18.Kb1 (3:41)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Qf7, simple and good
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: force white to create a weakness 18...Qf7 (0:55) 19.b3 (0:35) a5 (0:12)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: a5 a4 b5!?
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: attack plays itself 20.c3 (2:33)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: very tempting to sac on b3
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: issue is that there aren't a lot of pieces left to deliver mate
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Bxb3 axb3 Qxb3+ is only an attack with two pieces, and one of them is unstable
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: a-pawn is threatening though 20...Nf5 (5:05) 21.Be2 (1:31) a4 (0:07) 22.c4 (0:28)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: open a-file should be death for white 22...axb3 (0:22) 23.axb3 (0:02)
mcstorytaller(1824) whispers: hi Cat!!!
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: hello
mcstorytaller(1824) whispers: wanna play?
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: o
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: *no
mcstorytaller(1824) whispers: ok 23...b5 (2:05)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: yeah I mean, this is a very straight forward position 24.Kb2 (0:23) Nd4 (2:09)
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: bxc and then Rfb8
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: that seemed more direct, yes
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: I think RF is trying to create a double threat 25.Bxd4 (1:02)
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: eating too much rice does that to you ;) 25...exd4 (0:12)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: yeah so now f2 hangs in some lines 26.Bf3 (0:06)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: can never have too much rice, imo
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: you surprise me. I'm a bread man. 26...bxc4 (0:41)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: nice intermezzo there 27.dxc4 (0:12)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: well, rice is versatile 27...Rab8 (0:06)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: every move has a threat
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: I liked the threats on the a file
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: or is it 'rank'. who cares. its all squares
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: file
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: numbers are ranks
ricefarmer(1965) whispers: when the hangover clears i hope my d pawn will prevail
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: good point, RF actually has a long term plus here too
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: so white could survive the attack and still lose the endgame
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: type: 'moves'. white has taken an average of 30-60 seconds to think per move.
Jammes(1669) whispers: kc2 doesnt stop bxc4
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: its a crushing position
Jammes(1669) whispers: yes, didnt look that bad a few moves ago. white went down fast
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: there's bd5 but it cedes the center ...
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: black had a lead in development out of the opening, which he turned into a lasting initiative
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: fun position. material is equal yet black is winning
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: judging the value of an initiative is really hard
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: but here black has already created long term trumps so his initiative is almost just a bonus
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: if white had used his time earlier in the game rather than now, perhaps he would be in a better position...
Jammes(1669) whispers: i see nothing that stops bxc4
Jammes(1669) whispers: becides kc1 but that allows just rxb3
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: there is 'resign'
ricefarmer(1965) whispers: my Q is in a skewer if Bd5
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Bd5 is the one way to deal with the main threat, it just happens to convert to a clearly lost endgame
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: Rc1 Bxc4 Rxc4 Qxc4 Bc1....
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: ok, that's not a bad defensive try
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Bd1 rather than Bc1 I assume
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: unfortunately Rxf2 is not quite working there
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Rxf2 Qxf2 Qc3+ Kb1 Ra8 there is Qb2 to hold
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: but I guess just Qc3+ to trade queens and then take on f2 is sufficient to win
Jammes(1669) whispers: awfull position to start using your time :)
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: I think that's the only realistic line for white 28.Bd5 (11:55) Bxd5 (0:19) 29.cxd5 (0:03)
Doubleletter(1880) whispers: c4 first would be fun
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: hmm, maybe the deflection sac on f2 works somewhere here
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Qxd5 Qc2 Rxf2+ Qxf2 Qxb3+ Kc1 Qb1+ Kd2 Rb2+ Ke1 (only move) and at worst you are liquidating into a three pawn up rook endgame
ricefarmer(1965) whispers: i dont see any tricks yet
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: Rxf2 isnt check of course, but you get the idea
Jammes(1669) whispers: i prefer qx. why allow complications 29...Qxd5 (2:11) 30.Qc2 (0:11)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: yes Rxf2 is rather unnecessary here, but it does appear to lead to a forced win
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: c4 is the no risk way
Jammes(1669) whispers: does rxb3 work too :)
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: ah, reversing the idea!
Jammes(1669) whispers: im not sure
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: doesnt look so clear, but I guess Rxb3 Qxb3 Rxf2+ Ka3 Qa8+ Qa4 Ra2 is queen for two rooks
Jammes(1669) whispers: rxb3 qxb3 no my qa8 move doesnt work because queen is pinned
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: ah, good spot
ricefarmer(1965) whispers: c4 looks like a simple win
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: I stand by my Rxf2 idea, but c4 is the simple choice 30...c4 (2:43)
CarlosKerber(1677) whispers: hellows
smallblackcat(2324) whispers: carlos 31.Rb1 (0:59)
CarlosKerber(1677) whispers: catie
