Funkmaus(2158) whispers: :) Funkmaus(2158) whispers: If white play Muzio, I be cheering for him just because ~ BethanyGrace(1674) whispers: :) sydches(2027) whispers: Not a variation for the faint-hearted :-) blore(1908) whispers: i am faint-hearted blore(1908) whispers: if there is anything on the board more than the two kings i get a heart attack BethanyGrace(1674) whispers: lol, how are you 1908 and still alive then? :) nraravind(1807) whispers: he meets a lot of other faint-hearted people on this server :) Funkmaus(2158) whispers: trades are good blore(1908) whispers: lol! True that was an exageration but i generally get a bit intimidated in complicated positions }blore(1908) whispers: may i emphasise faionter-hearted and that is why i am still alive :D sydches(2027) whispers: Most of my internet chess games land up in this variation. too many fans of the Fischer defence sydches(2027) whispers: From what I've seen of walkingterrapin's games, he is well versed in opening theory blore(1908) whispers: not sure of the fischer defence but i am definitely a Fischer fan...much as my team mate sydches dislikes Fischer i like him nraravind(1807) whispers: g4 and Nh4 now? blore(1908) whispers: last time sydney played Ng1... blore(1908) whispers: nraravind remember his earlier game in the teamleague? he retreated to g1 blore(1908) whispers: well first thing is, are we going to see g4 or not!? blore(1908) whispers: but if i am not wrong Fischer recommended h6 nraravind(1807) whispers: @blore so what would you play as black? Surely g4? blore(1908) whispers: I suspect i would play h6 Hathkhola(1832) whispers: a bust to the kings gambit ;) blore(1908) whispers: :) as Fischer famously declared before going on to NEVERTHELESS play it from the white side after that and winning (against a computer also) }blore(1908) whispers: ok so sydches has deviated from his earlier game...variety is the spice of TEAMLEAGUE?! LOL nraravind(1807) whispers: variation is the spice of chess }blore(1908) whispers: last time his reasoning he was anticipating Be7 after Nh4 but has anyway played it this time i guess ready for Be7 but surprise of surprises his opponent has surprised him with f3!? }blore(1908) whispers: but Be7 comes one move later!! LOL }nraravind(1807) whispers: the White king doesn't mind walking to the Queenside blore(1908) whispers: ???!!! one more pawn blore(1908) whispers: i think not i think the idea is Bf2 Funkmaus(2158) whispers: Nd5 coming who cares for pawns. and real KG-player move king blore(1908) whispers: Kd2 is losing it has to be Bf2 blore(1908) whispers: two pawn gambit!??! Funkmaus(2158) whispers: Kd2 isnt losing: g3 fxg3 Qxh1 Bb5+ blore(1908) whispers: but RAAAAAAAAAAPIIIIIIIIIID development nraravind(1807) whispers: Kd2 and black can play c6 blore(1908) whispers: ah ok! missed that }Funkmaus(2158) whispers: ....c6 is a point. But as he failed to play it on move 1, he is dead :p }blore(1908) whispers: ok preventing the aforementioned counter threat and renewing the g3 threat so I think Bf2 was good in the end }blore(1908) whispers: oh oh ohj black interferes with castling of white and in tudn white returns the offer }Funkmaus(2158) whispers: this game is exciting, but i have to go. woof to mad dogs! - black later for more TL action }blore(1908) whispers: black has forfeited and white is still struggling maybe it is going to be a double king walk to the wings blore(1908) whispers: oh yes it looks like neither player is going to castle in this game :( blore(1908) whispers: i just wonder if Nf4 is coming now blore(1908) whispers: in my eyes that appears the best move for white nraravind(1807) whispers: it seems to give Black time to develop blore(1908) whispers: it threatens to beat back the light square bishop with d5 next blore(1908) whispers: besides what does black develop? the kings knight and immediately Nxe6+ and the queen falls blore(1908) whispers: Nc6 or Nd7 both lose a piece to fork/trap nraravind(1807) whispers: how does the queen fall? }nraravind(1807) whispers: ok d5 is probably the idea }blore(1908) whispers: discovered attack after check because it is currently supported by g8 knight which is therefore immobilised blore(1908) whispers: black wisely moves the king away from check }blore(1908) whispers: ?! }blore(1908) whispers: !! }blore(1908) whispers: why not g3 immediately!? blore(1908) whispers: barking at the bishop }nraravind(1807) whispers: because of this move }blore(1908) whispers: :) blore(1908) whispers: Bh4?! nraravind(1807) whispers: Bh4 Nbd7 }nraravind(1807) whispers: no not possible because of d5 }blore(1908) whispers: i am completely lost... nraravind(1807) whispers: why not Nxh5? blore(1908) whispers: Qd6 now berhaps? nraravind(1807) whispers: there might be thematic sacs which we don't know about. blore(1908) whispers: the pawns are not what he is after he sacrificed them for quick piece play it is against his style to take back pawns hastily }nraravind(1807) whispers: Bxb7+ for example }blore(1908) whispers: ok blore(1908) whispers: Rh7!!!!!! blore(1908) whispers: followed by Nxe6 looks REAL strong }blore(1908) whispers: ok move order change but i suspect we are going to see Rh7 anyway }blore(1908) whispers: oh!? }blore(1908) whispers: Back to Be4 and then Rh7!? blore(1908) whispers: oh! blore(1908) whispers: every move is a surprise to me }nraravind(1807) whispers: they are playing fast. It would take me a lot more time to play a lot worse. }blore(1908) whispers: :) ok I think Bg3 now }blore(1908) whispers: ok! at last i got one move blore(1908) whispers: Qa5!!! }blore(1908) whispers: of course b6 }nraravind(1807) whispers: Rh7 now? }blore(1908) whispers: mate threat nice!! way }nraravind(1807) whispers: sorry queen was en prise. I was looking at Rh7 instead of Qa5. It is way too fast. blore(1908) whispers: to extricate the rook without hitting Bxf3 }blore(1908) whispers: white has two bishops versus two knights for the pawn blore(1908) whispers: for the TWO pawns should i say }blore(1908) whispers: Bd3-f5 sydches(2027) whispers: too bad 2 mate-in-1s avoided :D blore(1908) whispers: :D sydches is not seriously expecting to checkmate by blunder! }blore(1908) whispers: oh Bc4 i guess not to give the temporary closure of d file caused by Bd3 sydches(2027) whispers: black is a rook down for two pawns }blore(1908) whispers: but same idea of Be6 pinning the knight blore(1908) whispers: Rxd8+ Kxd8 Rxb7?! }blore(1908) whispers: oh!? }sydches(2027) whispers: not going to take my rook off the seventh rank in a hurry blore(1908) whispers: Rd6!? }blore(1908) whispers: controlling the knights movements blore(1908) whispers: check threat what a game! }sydches(2027) whispers: Nf3 seems to be the only decent piece that black has }blore(1908) whispers: taking the pawan at last?> }blore(1908) whispers: one of the two defricit pawns }blore(1908) whispers: now Bxe5+ blore(1908) whispers: now Bxe5+ blore(1908) whispers: no does not work blore(1908) whispers: Now Rf5 sydches(2027) whispers: hmm, Ra8 is squirming out dropping the two pawns sydches(2027) whispers: I think he heard me on the rook being the 7th rank sydches(2027) whispers: still looks good...double b should win }blore(1908) whispers: what is coming next? Ah i got one right again!!! }blore(1908) whispers: RXE%!!!!!! }sydches(2027) whispers: Ne4 was the only move I thought attacking the bishop blore(1908) whispers: wow! What a way to play and get back all the pawns with double bishop against double knight }blore(1908) whispers: i think the fact that the pawns are all on the same side of the board may mean the double bishops is not a huge advantage but no clue sydches(2027) whispers: piece down for real now }blore(1908) whispers: why piece down!? blore(1908) whispers: did not understand that remark }nraravind(1807) whispers: Re7 I thought }blore(1908) whispers: ah! ok blore(1908) whispers: again Bf4? }blore(1908) whispers: sorry i meant Bg3 blore(1908) whispers: amazing! I did not see this piece win sydches(2027) whispers: too many holes in the position..Nf8 and Ra8 sad pieces }

walkingterrapin (2012-11-25): i would like to have played this game over the board without computers present. Not sure about sydchess and the authenticity of both 5. g3 and 6. Nh4, both seem like positional suicide, Fritz 11 agrees................
