StrokerAce(1905) whispers: i've been playing the pelikan/shevnikov since about 2004
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: in my first tourney game i was surprised by this line, iplayed a6?? before caslnng and lost quicly with Qa4! 13...Bg5 (1:11) 14.Qe2 (0:56)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: the variation sometimes goes quickly into an endgame or can be a complex middle game. depends on white's mood 14...Nd7 (1:08)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: qe2 knocked me out of theory tho so I'm on my own
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: never thought about it but it's kind of benoni-like without the fianchetto 15.Kh1 (18:30)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: hmm bc5 gets a B for N but... i can see how that woudl also enable him to get his q-side pawns moving eventually
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: Nc5 i mean
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: but i don't like f4
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: Bxc1 Rxc1 qf6 or qg5 maybe ...
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: still his f4 or maybe even g4 to undermine my center is the threat i think
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: either way play is on the g-file so make sure K is not on it
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: and e6 blockeed by N 15...Kh8 (9:52) 16.b4 (2:26) b6 (1:26)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: can't allow b5 to open Q-side. looks like N is stuck on d7 now. maybe bb7 17.a4 (5:25)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: i want to play Rb8 but is it too slow. Rb8 a5 bxa5 bxxc1 Rxc1 bxa5 i get b-file double edged.
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: a5 Nb5 juck
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: rb8 seems right- nothing hanging??? no ok 17...Rb8 (5:34) 18.Be3 (8:42)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: no one wins the game of bishop chicken, we meet in the middle 18...Bxe3 (1:02) 19.Qxe3 (0:02) Qf6 (1:11) 20.Be2 (3:09)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: my pieces are still poorly coordinated. Rb8 enabled the N to move but it has nowhere to move. Rb8 also blocks bb7
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: ok defneding c3 ... anything else? f4 e4
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: a5 myself seems interesting Nc5 woudl solve a lot of problems... hmm
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: pretty commital though
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: if not he'lll play rb8
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: sees backwards, black is supposed to play on k-side
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: Qh4 with idea of Rf3 to h6 or rb7-f7 but... bc8/nd7 keeps things uncoordianted
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: a5 hurts as much as it helps 20...a5 (9:35)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: screw it 21.bxa5 (0:48) bxa5 (0:05) 22.Rab1 (2:20)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: i see no way to keep the file 22...Rxb1 (5:22) 23.Rxb1 (0:09) Nc5 (0:08) 24.Rb6 (3:24)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: Qxc5 is not a threat so i suppose he wants Rc6
burnage(2138) whispers: looks like he just wants to own the bfile and maybe snipe the a pawn 24...Bd7 (3:46)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: Nb5 and he has the makings of a dangerous set of pawns 25.Nb5 (1:12)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: we both have dangerous pawns
burnage(2138) whispers: Bxb5 axb5 and a4
burnage(2138) whispers: you have a permanent advantage then
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: hmm 25...Bxb5 (1:22)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: no choice
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: very very unclear
burnage(2138) whispers: not really he has a bad bishop against a good knight
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: axb5 and Nc5 is a great blocakader but... who knows 26.Rxb5 (4:28)
burnage(2138) whispers: Nxa4 maybe
burnage(2138) whispers: Nxa4 Rxa5 Nc5 but this maybe lets his bishop out via Bd1 Ba4
KiranY(2062) whispers: but then e4
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: Nxa4 rxa5 Nc5 can he do an exchange sac
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: ra8 first is an optoin, so is e4 hmm
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: no more whispers time too critical 26...Nxa4 (7:09) 27.Rxa5 (0:36) Nc5 (0:25) 28.h3 (0:24) e4 (0:58)
burnage(2138) whispers: why e4? I want to keep that bishop bad... so maybe f4!
burnage(2138) whispers: seems both f4 and fxe5 are good for white. gives him back his piece.
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: is Rxc5 feasible...
KiranY(2062) whispers: with bishop being bad..no i dont think so..
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: yeah, the pawns aree not supported enough to become real threats 29.Qa3 (4:48) h6 (3:08) 30.Qa1 (0:12)
burnage(2138) whispers: Qxa1 Rxa1 e3 should be easy win
burnage(2138) whispers: wait nm white plays f4 lol 30...Qh4 (1:21) 31.Ra7 (1:19) Qg3 (1:28) 32.Kg1 (0:21) e3 (2:11)
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: well, I still believe RXC5!? WAS BETTER THAN THIS! At least Black had some counterplay to worry about as for now he should be cruising home with the victory :-( 33.Bf1 (0:28)
burnage(2138) whispers: Rb8
burnage(2138) whispers: time to activate last piece
burnage(2138) whispers: otherwise f4 and solidify the pawns
KiranY(2062) whispers: or nb3 nd4? 33...Rf6 (3:05)
burnage(2138) whispers: hmmm yes that too:) didn't see that
bobhill(1871) whispers: Re8 may have been better with threat to push pawn
burnage(2138) whispers: yes I think so bob, not real sure Rf6 was the best way to activeate the rook. I prefer Re8 or Rb8
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: damn i thought that hung the rook for rec 34.Qd4 (3:18)
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: what's that!!!?!?!6116
KiranY(2062) whispers: umm over
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: Qb2 was still holding on the short term
ouazzani(1794) whispers: takeback 34...f4 (2:14)
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: they are playing like 1500
tseltzer(1793) whispers: they're playing like me 35.Ra8+ (0:45)
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: not sure if it was safe to play Qf2+ and take of f1 i may get mated 35...Kh7 (0:07)
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: MUCH WORSE... friend 36.Qd1 (0:20)
tseltzer(1793) whispers: you havent seen me in time trouble :-s 36...Rg6 (0:14)
KiranY(2062) whispers: what ? mate where?
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: HOW COULD HE NOT PLAY BD3!!!!! I must have the wrong f***in relay at my house.,..this is ridiculous!!!
burnage(2138) whispers: he keeps missing Qf2+ ending the game 37.Kh1 (1:15)
Scylax(1673) whispers: they're just trying to keep it interesting...
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: I am going to be sick!...
burnage(2138) whispers: nah they are just freaking out about the clock no biggie
burnage(2138) whispers: please malcovich.. 37...Qf2 (1:22)
KiranY(2062) whispers: not everyone can handle the clock like you malc ;)
tseltzer(1793) whispers: no one can handle the clock like you, malco :) 38.Ra1 (1:05)
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: sorry guys, but we are talking about 2 very good players and they are missing quite evident moves...I mean :-((((((
burnage(2138) whispers: they aren't as evident as you think with so little time to think
burnage(2138) whispers: they are evident to a spectator that has no pressure and to someone who has 10 minutes to kill
Scylax(1673) whispers: black has been tentative the whole game-- psyching himself out, I think
MALCOVICH(2105) whispers: yeah maybe...well I am off to see Juventus vs Milan as I suspect Draghetto (a huge Milan fan while I am Juventino!) will be shortly after....bye all.
KiranY(2062) whispers: especially at the end StrokerAce offers a draw.
KiranY(2062) whispers: wtf?
burnage(2138) whispers: now that makes no bleeping sense... white is barely surviving why offer a draw! just don't flag!
KiranY(2062) whispers: is stroker nuts?
bobhill(1871) whispers: I think the N maneuver to still wins, ouch draghetto declines the draw request.
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: ok
KiranY(2062) whispers: lol
StrokerAce(1905) whispers: ok
KiranY(2062) whispers: draghetto declines now that will make malco crazy !
burnage(2138) whispers: well he doesn't even have to answer til stroker moves! and he's gonna flag!
KiranY(2062) whispers: :))
burnage(2138) whispers: man dude black HAS to be winning this
KiranY(2062) whispers: stroker jus play something !
burnage(2138) whispers: h5? e2? Qb2? Nd7?
KiranY(2062) whispers: rf6 or g3 something lol 38...h5 (3:42) 39.Qe1 (0:04)
KiranY(2062) whispers: exchanging is better now..
burnage(2138) whispers: lol white is stupid not to take that draw. he must be thinkign he'll win on time. 39...Qxe1 (0:16) 40.Rxe1 (0:03) h4 (0:01)

KiranY(2062) whispers: or k to e5
burnage(2138) whispers: return the rook to the world of play 42.Rb1 (0:17)
