Bodia(1703) whispers: good center katasaki! }Loucke(1979) whispers: go katasaki!!!! :)) !BCS->(bomb) Katasaki(1720) whispers: heres to hoping for dxe5! pchesso(1665) whispers: yes, go kata! BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Ne7 should be played by black here Bodia(1703) whispers: it looks winning for white BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Black should have played exd4 and not Bb6 before... Not sure why he did that. }pchesso(1665) whispers: exd, anything wrong with this? BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Winning a pawn can't be that bad here :) pchesso(1665) whispers: i watched the end of your game with byrial, BofK - very well done! }BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Thanks, Byrial played quite well, just made a few mistakes but thats all it takes in chess. Katasaki(1720) whispers: i'm wuite happy with the exchange I think, the a7-g1 diagonal gets closed up and black needs tempo to get his bishop active again. }pchesso(1665) whispers: i don't like Nd4 here BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: why? saves from a doubled pawn on f3 and attacks the c pawn }pchesso(1665) whispers: now instead of Ne7 black could play c5 Nb3 c4 Nd2 and white is standing cramped }BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: well aside from that lost pawn for black, it doesn't seem to be to bad BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: h3 Bc8 Nd2 might be a line of continuation }Katasaki(1720) whispers: I hope yall're commenting upon how stupid I am ;) }pchesso(1665) whispers: no, you are playing good aggressive chess. i like it! }Katasaki(1720) whispers: give me d1 damnit! BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Hm, black is going to be in trouble after Bc8 }Katasaki(1720) whispers: ... hooray? }BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: And we hate pawns it seems? }BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Black is going to be hurting very soon now }Katasaki(1720) whispers: wow. }BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Ok, we're blitzing here, I thought this was standard chess.... pchesso(1665) whispers: if there is a plan behind the black pawn sacs, then i don't get it BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: There isn't, just dropped pawns BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: :( }Katasaki(1720) whispers: hrm, attempting to outpost on d3 }Katasaki(1720) whispers: hrm, outposting on d6! }pchesso(1665) whispers: exf and black has 4 isolated pawns Katasaki(1720) whispers: lolerpops }AdiShankaR(1349) whispers: is this a blitz or what : P BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Wow, take some time to think it through }BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: alot of bad moves for having so much time to run through them pchesso(1665) whispers: Re1 Katasaki(1720) whispers: aha }pchesso(1665) whispers: Kd6? Rd2 }BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Just move the king up and black will have no way to really save his knight Katasaki(1720) whispers: one pawn if i trade all the pieces off, eh? AdiShankaR(1349) whispers: whats the score in the round for them right now? }Katasaki(1720) whispers: only as a last resort I guess pchesso(1665) whispers: adi, a draw would suffice for black }BlackofKnight(2057) whispers: Black would be jumping for joy if he got a draw pchesso(1665) whispers: yeah, does not look very drawish... :) AdiShankaR(1349) whispers: feeling that b3 does something Katasaki(1720) whispers: because nobody on my team wants that damned knight on d3 to matter }Katasaki(1720) whispers: awesome! }pchesso(1665) whispers: weird }pchesso(1665) whispers: :) hmmmmm }pchesso(1665) whispers: lol }Plebusan(1742) whispers: stale-mate avoiding underpromotion }Plebusan(1742) whispers: :) }

katasaki (2008-05-06): I would like to point out that instead of 11... c5 12. Nb3 I would have played Nf6, accepting the useful doubled pawn. not Nb3 that just plays into my opponent's plan. the main Idea is: why should I let my opponent wrest the initiative from my hands? Mathurian's biggest flaw here is that he just resigned to responding to my Ideas and didn't press for any Ideas of his own. This allowed white to leisurely bend the game to his will.
