1.e4 (0:00)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: my opponent played pretty flawless in TL so far, so let us see whether I can double his amount of TL losses :)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: my opponent plays the Spanish, so let us see what line he has prepared for this game 1...e5 (0:00) 2.Nf3 (0:11) Nc6 (0:01) 3.Bb5 (0:05) a6 (0:01) 4.Ba4 (0:11) Nf6 (0:02) 5.Nc3 (0:11)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: I have seen my opponent play this line before 5...b5 (1:10)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: why is he thinking here?
axeltiger(2231) whispers: hmmm, Nc3 isn't the most common line as far as I can remember 6.Bb3 (1:05) Be7 (0:01) 7.O-O (0:13) O-O (0:02) 8.d3 (0:13) d6 (0:02) 9.Bg5 (0:26)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: I do not understand why my opponent plays like this
schachbjm(2321) whispers: this is just a bad spanish line, where I should have already equalized 9...Na5 (1:53)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: ok, let me just grab the bishop pair
schachbjm(2321) whispers: white had to play a3 there for sure 10.Nd5 (0:50) Nxd5 (0:03) 11.Bxd5 (0:07) c6 (0:01)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: black should have a slight practical edge ere already
schachbjm(2321) whispers: why did white voluntarily went for this (it seems like white is playing these lines quite frequently)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: at this level, you usually see more critical lines ...
schachbjm(2321) whispers: Bxe7 is automatic, right?
schachbjm(2321) whispers: there is no other move in the position 12.Bxe7 (2:22) Qxe7 (0:00) 13.Bb3 (0:09) Nxb3 (0:04)
axeltiger(2231) whispers: this does indeed seem good for black 14.axb3 (0:07)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: okay, now I have to develop a play to slowly improve my position and make use of the bishop
schachbjm(2321) whispers: whites openin choice and time spend is a bit odd tbh
schachbjm(2321) whispers: I wonder whether h3 is helping him (Bg4 is a candidate move here obviously)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: c5 Bb7 f5 is another idea
axeltiger(2231) whispers: I like that line 14...c5 (4:28)
schachbjm(2321) whispers: I am quite happy to have a better position with black, especially since this position is quite hard to loose for me
schachbjm(2321) whispers: how does white proceed here?
schachbjm(2321) whispers: a prophylactic h3 seems sensible to be able to move the queen more freely Tuturutu lost connection; game adjourned *
