predkoo(1867) whispers: Go RockyRook! 4.Nc3 (1:22) Nc6 (1:35) 5.d3 (0:49) d6 (1:47) 6.Ng5 (2:56) Ne5 (1:18) 7.Bb5+ (2:32) Bd7 (0:59) 8.Bxd7+ (0:22) Qxd7 (0:10) 9.Nf3 (5:20) Nc6 (7:07) 10.Bd2 (2:32) e6 (0:26) 11.O-O (1:44) Nge7 (0:05) 12.Rb1 (2:20) O-O (1:16) 13.Bf4 (0:53)
Whis(1652) whispers: Seems like black came out of the opening ok, let's hope he gets a strong middlegame 13...Nd4 (5:46) 14.Nd2 (1:52) b5 (3:15) 15.Ne2 (0:11) b4 (1:41) 16.Nxd4 (0:25) Bxd4 (0:40) 17.Nf3 (0:05) Bh8 (1:17)
Whis(1652) whispers: White could have saved 3 tempos with 14. Ne2 I think
guitarspider(1705) whispers: but then Nxf3
guitarspider(1705) whispers: with doubled f-pawns
Whis(1652) whispers: ah yea, I missed that, thanks HH 18.Qc1 (2:37) Rfb8 (4:37) 19.Re1 (2:18) Nc6 (0:47) 20.Re3 (2:23)
guitarspider(1705) whispers: white going caveman style or what is Re3 about? 20...a5 (2:13) 21.Nd2 (3:04)
Whis(1652) whispers: I think the F rook belonged on d1 instead of e1 to support d4 push
Whis(1652) whispers: But it looks like white is not goiong to try to gain space here 21...Ne5 (3:16) 22.Rh3 (1:51)
guitarspider(1705) whispers: so attack it is...
Whis(1652) whispers: Not gonna work without some to attack the light squares
Whis(1652) whispers: the N is out of the area and so is the queen 22...a4 (2:12)
guitarspider(1705) whispers: agree 23.Bh6 (1:10)
Whis(1652) whispers: it might even be possible to trap the rook with pawns somehow, like f6 g5 Be3 then g4 stuff
Whis(1652) whispers: perhaps white plans f4 here
guitarspider(1705) whispers: he'll probably have to play that at some point
Whis(1652) whispers: i was looking at like f4 Ng4 f5 Nxh6 fxg6 fxg6 Qd1
Whis(1652) whispers: then maybe e5 for black to stop Qg4 23...Qc6 (3:26)
Whis(1652) whispers: i left out Rxh6 in there somwhere 24.f4 (0:51) Ng4 (0:07)
Whis(1652) whispers: Bd4+ and Nf2 are annoying 25.Nf3 (1:15)
guitarspider(1705) whispers: yes, f4 always has a downside. I think Black should be ok here, maybe even better 25...Nxh6 (0:21) 26.Rxh6 (0:04)
Whis(1652) whispers: c4 looks strong for black 26...Bg7 (0:15) 27.Rh3 (0:07) c4 (0:38)
Whis(1652) whispers: the classic pawn breakthrough formation :D
Whis(1652) whispers: maybe Ng5 h6 f5 for white here 28.e5 (2:37)
Whis(1652) whispers: this loses a pawn
Whis(1652) whispers: i think LOL 28...cxd3 (1:08) 29.cxd3 (0:27) Qd5 (0:48)
Whis(1652) whispers: i think white is equalized now
brigadoon(2110) whispers: no way
brigadoon(2110) whispers: black has the better structure and can penetrate to the second rank
Whis(1652) whispers: true, whites rooks aren't very good
guitarspider(1705) whispers: you could also say they're totally misplaced ;)
Whis(1652) whispers: qc4 and rc1 are playable hto
brigadoon(2110) whispers: But it is true that 29...Qxc1 would have been better 30.d4 (4:20)
Whis(1652) whispers: drops a2?
Whis(1652) whispers: so i guess Rbc8 then Qxa2 is killer for black 30...Rc8 (0:59)
Whis(1652) whispers: maybe better to take on e5 first
Whis(1652) whispers: what do you think 2100 how would you play it 31.Qd2 (0:26) dxe5 (0:19)
brigadoon(2110) whispers: I would take on a2
brigadoon(2110) whispers: if I don't answer, I am also watching the games at Corus
Whis(1652) whispers: who is nakamura playing today
Whis(1652) whispers: nm, i can just obs LOL 32.dxe5 (2:02)
brigadoon(2110) whispers: he is about to lose against Kramnik 32...Qxa2 (0:18)
Whis(1652) whispers: very disappointing 33.Rd1 (0:51) Qd5 (0:18)
Whis(1652) whispers: shirov seems to be winning vs carlsen tho so it takes the sting off a bit
guitarspider(1705) whispers: Kramnik 2.0 just owns, nothing to be done. Seen his draw against Short yesterday? He was losing for sure.
brigadoon(2110) whispers: Shirov-Carlsen was a draw 34.Qe2 (1:48)
Whis(1652) whispers: dang 34...Qc5+ (0:34) 35.Kh1 (0:24)
brigadoon(2110) whispers: and after that going forward with the a-pawn
Whis(1652) whispers: Qc2 here 35...Qc2 (1:03)
Whis(1652) whispers: If Rd2 then Qc1+ and Rd8
brigadoon(2110) whispers: Rd8 now... 36.Rd2 (0:49)
brigadoon(2110) whispers: ok, both ply too fast 36...Qc1+ (0:27) 37.Rd1 (0:06)
guitarspider(1705) whispers: rc2 :) 37...Qxf4 (0:11)
Whis(1652) whispers: Rh4
brigadoon(2110) whispers: with 36 Rd8 white at least should have had equality if he wasn't even better 38.Rd4 (1:39)
Whis(1652) whispers: ah yea i missed that tactic 38...Rc1+ (0:28)
Whis(1652) whispers: Rd4 hge blunder
Fuzion(1748) whispers: moves too quickly
Whis(1652) whispers: Rd1 RxR QxR and Rc8 maybe
Whis(1652) whispers: true fuzion, i am afraid i'll do that to i paly in 2 hours from now 39.Rd1 (1:29)
brigadoon(2110) whispers: Rd1 a3...
Whis(1652) whispers: i gotta slow down cause i make calculation mistakes 39...Rac8 (1:16)
guitarspider(1705) whispers: this is over
Whis(1652) whispers: funny enough, for white i think a move like Ng1 might be reasonalbe even tho it looks so ugly
Whis(1652) whispers: he can't play a rook down
Whis(1652) whispers: now if R8c2 white is lost 40.Rh4 (1:37) Rxd1+ (0:18) 41.Qxd1 (0:05) Rc1 (0:17) 42.Rxf4 (0:32) Rxd1+ (0:02)
guitarspider(1705) whispers: White can resign 43.Ng1 (0:01)
Whis(1652) whispers: a3 43...a3 (0:36)
brigadoon(2110) whispers: now Bxe5 is even better then a3 ;)
Whis(1652) whispers: Or Bf8 was good too
guitarspider(1705) whispers: or Bxe5, almost everthing is winning 44.bxa3 (0:22) bxa3 (0:03) 45.Ra4 (0:01) Bxe5 (0:10) 46.Rxa3 (0:01)
Whis(1652) whispers: smacks forehead 46...Bd4 (0:05) RockyRook resigns 0-1
