milpat(1906) whispers: go Timy!!! 14...Na5 (19:45)
sibreen(1864) whispers: cant think of a plan.. :/
fernbap(1746) whispers: the problem with the grunfeld is that it is very difficult to find good moves for both sides 15.Bd3 (3:57)
fernbap(1746) whispers: perhaps a6 and b5 15...Rfd8 (3:19)
fernbap(1746) whispers: although it weakens the dark squares
ButiOxa(1770) whispers: agreed 16.Rfc1 (3:15) Bc6 (0:11)
fernbap(1746) whispers: risky, i think
mountm(2039) whispers: I agree...seems like the queen has an opening here to make some threats
fernbap(1746) whispers: the knight has nowhere to go
Alieth(1862) whispers: Qa3!!
mountm(2039) whispers: yeah
Alieth(1862) whispers: pressure the a5/e7 squares and threaten d5 and get queen off long diagonal
fernbap(1746) whispers: right
Alieth(1862) whispers: Qa3 e6?! Bf4 and a5 knight hangs
fernbap(1746) whispers: or even qb4
Alieth(1862) whispers: Qa3 e6 Bf4 e5 Bd2
Alieth(1862) whispers: anyone know the score here? i'd say white is winning lol 17.Qa3 (4:12)
xivarmy(1930) whispers: Qa3 b6 is fine i think, just need to prepare a retreat for the N
mountm(2039) whispers: I'd say so too =) 17...e6 (0:09)
fernbap(1746) whispers: oh dear
mountm(2039) whispers: esp after Bf4 now
Alieth(1862) whispers: Bf4 wins the knight Bf4 e4 Bd2 b6 d5
mountm(2039) whispers: you mean e5, not e4
Timelesss(1926) whispers: hmmmmm d5 exd5 Bxa7 threatening Bb6 looks tempting
mountm(2039) whispers: but what about b5 after that line
Alieth(1862) whispers: give the line please
mountm(2039) whispers: d5 exd5 Bxa7 b5
Alieth(1862) whispers: oh his line i thought u meant in mine heh
mountm(2039) whispers: doesn't work for white at all
Alieth(1862) whispers: go timeless!!!
mountm(2039) whispers: definitely Bf4 here
sibreen(1864) whispers: guess it shouldve been Qa5 not Na5..? 18.Bf4 (13:51)
Alieth(1862) whispers: BRING IT HOME TIMELESS!!
milpat(1906) whispers: :) 18...e5 (1:39)
Alieth(1862) whispers: Bd2 then d5
Timelesss(1926) whispers: true sign of a patzer - looking at the same 3 lines....50...times
xivarmy(1930) whispers: well Bd2 exd4 seems sensible, to at least get something for the piece
Alieth(1862) whispers: Bd2 ed Bxa5 b6 Bb5 19.Bg3 (1:20)
fernbap(1746) whispers: urgh
milpat(1906) whispers: pin theme
xivarmy(1930) whispers: this works the same as your idea, d5 is coming unless he moves the Q, which drops the N
Alieth(1862) whispers: b6 forced i think
Alieth(1862) whispers: well
Alieth(1862) whispers: this seems to work too 19...b6 (2:50) 20.Ba6 (1:00)
Alieth(1862) whispers: d5 Qd6 QxQ and d3 hangs
milpat(1906) whispers: ?
milpat(1906) whispers: this works?
milpat(1906) whispers: black will just sac the exchange, no?
Alieth(1862) whispers: of course :P
milpat(1906) whispers: at least save the piece
Alieth(1862) whispers: exchange+protected passer=enough to win
milpat(1906) whispers: probably 20...Bf8 (2:41) 21.Qb2 (2:14) Qe7 (1:47) 22.Bxc8 (1:33) sibreen resigns 1-0
