KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: I'm expecting a close Sicilian with 9.Be3 line 1...c5 (0:00) 2.Nf3 (0:11) d6 (0:12) 3.d4 (0:10) cxd4 (0:03) 4.Nxd4 (0:01) Nf6 (0:02) 5.Nc3 (0:05) g6 (0:03) 6.Be3 (0:25) Bg7 (0:30) 7.f3 (0:03) O-O (1:03) 8.Qd2 (0:36) Nc6 (0:06) 9.O-O-O (0:41) d5 (0:34) 10.exd5 (2:02) Nxd5 (0:13) 11.Nxc6 (0:10) bxc6 (0:06) 12.Bd4 (0:13)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: I was wrong with my prediction and instead of a closed sicilian got a main line yugoslav attack 12...Bxd4 (2:04) 13.Qxd4 (1:00) Qb6 (0:08) 14.Bc4 (4:02) Ne3 (2:03) 15.Rd2 (1:38) Nxc4 (0:07) 16.Qxc4 (0:03) Be6 (0:02) 17.Qa4 (4:51) Rab8 (7:46) 18.Qa3 (2:02) c5 (4:00)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: 19.Na4 Qb4 20.Nxc5 Qxa3 21.pxa3 Bxa2 and white doesn't have time for Nd7 fork although I'm living dangerously! 19.Rhd1 (5:15) Rfc8 (3:17) 20.Nd5 (1:12) Bxd5 (0:22) 21.Rxd5 (0:03) c4 (1:27) 22.Qc3 (1:09) Rb7 (1:00) 23.R1d4 (2:31)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: Never noticed that 23...Rbc7 24.Rd8+ Rxd8 25.Rxd8# loses although I was thinking of aiming for b2 pawn instead 23...Rcb8 (3:06) 24.Rxc4 (3:35) Qxb2+ (0:38) 25.Qxb2 (0:44) Rxb2 (0:00) 26.Rd8+ (0:37)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: I missed 26.Rd8+ that wins a pawn since I had banked on 26.Ra4
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: Wait, I'm actually OK as I missed that white has to spend a tempi retaking on b2 26...Rxd8 (3:29) 27.Kxb2 (0:41)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: So now I have two plans. Firstly 27...Rd7 and try to get black King to the c file. Secondly I can play27...Rd2 and take g and h pawns and go for a race variation
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: Race variation feels like I'm slower 27...Rd7 (1:38) 28.a4 (3:52) f5 (0:41) 29.Rc5 (4:19) Kf7 (0:14) 30.Kc3 (0:15) Ke6 (0:25) 31.f4 (0:35) Kd6 (0:16) 32.Kc4 (1:40) Rb7 (1:21)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: I think black is fighting for a draw here. I think I have reasonable chances although I'd rather be white here 33.Rd5+ (1:50) Kc6 (0:20) 34.Rc5+ (0:32) Kd6 (0:05) KRMCHESS offers a draw.
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: I think I can hold the line but white can force a repetition when he pleases while I need to rely on white to try something crazy to get winning chances cjldx declines the draw request. 35.Rd5+ (1:54)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: 35.a5 Rb2 is sharp 35...Kc6 (0:19) 36.Ra5 (0:09) Rd7 (2:06)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: 36.Ra5 was a good move and does give me more challenges. Offering a draw was a bit optimistic on my part
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: Problem for white is he doesn't want to allow Rc7+ and then Rxc2 that would happen after 37.Ra6+ 37.Rc5+ (7:16) Kb6 (0:15) 38.a5+ (0:46)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: I think I'm OK as he can't play Kb4 due to Rd4+ 38...Ka6 (1:01) 39.Kc3 (1:04) Rd6 (2:11) 40.Re5 (0:55) Rd7 (0:15) 41.g3 (2:26) Rc7+ (1:42) 42.Kd3 (1:00) Rd7+ (0:12) 43.Kc3 (1:35) Rc7+ (0:02) 44.Kb3 (1:01) Rb7+ (0:05) 45.Ka4 (0:20)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: 45.Kc3 Rc7+ is a 3 fold repetition 45...Rc7 (0:13) 46.Re6+ (1:33) Kb7 (0:03) 47.a6+ (0:19) Kc8 (0:03) 48.Kb3 (0:06) Kd7 (0:08)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: Now I think black is good as Rc6 and now a6 pawn feels weak 49.Re5 (0:50) Rc6 (0:11) 50.Ra5 (0:09)
KRMCHESS(2060) whispers: Now I can do checks on 6th row and Ra5 can't move as it loses a6 pawn and if white king goes to a file I aim for c2 pawn 50...Rb6+ (1:10) 51.Kc3 (1:15) cjldx offers a draw. KRMCHESS accepts the draw request. Game drawn by mutual agreement 1/2-1/2
