smallblackcat(2143) whispers: hmm, downside of light squared bishop trade is that f7-f6 is less desirable than normal
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: otherwise I would say that black has no problems, maybe Re8 and Nf8 to cover the kingside and eventually open lines on the queenside 15...Qb8 (15:18) 16.Na3 (0:21)

JoshuaR(1789) whispers: i like this pawn push
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: another little drawback of trading the 'bad' light squared bishop
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: light squares are weaker
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: not that trading LSQ Bs was bad, just noting the positional trade-offs 18...Nxb5 (9:21) 19.axb5 (0:06) Ra7 (0:05) 20.bxc4 (0:07) dxc4 (0:03) 21.d5 (0:09) exd5 (2:37) 22.Qxd5 (0:24) Nc5 (0:12) 23.Qxc4 (0:19) Ne6 (0:05) 24.Be3 (0:20)
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: interesting, pawn sac for more stability and some positional plusses
smallblackcat(2143) whispers: a5 pawn is strong here, white's three advanced pawns are all a bit weak 24...Rc8 (1:27) 25.Qd5 (4:14) Ba3 (1:13) 26.Rc2 (1:41) Rac7 (1:12) 27.Nd4 (0:36) Nxd4 (0:24) 28.Bxd4 (0:05) Bc5 (1:12) 29.Rd2 (2:04) Rd8 (1:44) 30.Qe4 (0:23) Qc8 (0:13) 31.Rfd1 (0:19) Rcd7 (1:24) 32.e6 (0:47) Re7 (1:55) 33.exf7+ (0:19) Rxf7 (0:05) 34.Bxc5 (0:59) Rxd2 (0:05) 35.Rxd2 (0:13) MariusGallus resigns 1-0
