smallblackcat(2164) whispers: hmm, is Ne5 normal? 11.O-O-O (0:12)
tjradd(2163) whispers: it's fine
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: don't think I've seen it
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: right, normal dragon move, I just thought it came later
milpat(1984) whispers: i guessits ok 11...Qa5 (0:35)
milpat(1984) whispers: Rc8 and get into Nc4
tjradd(2163) whispers: I don't think the Bc4 line is dangerous for black
milpat(1984) whispers: i personally like to play vs Bc4
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: I guess it makes ideas along the c-file a bit faster for black
milpat(1984) whispers: sounds like couple of wasted moves for white 12.h4 (1:11)
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: cos you are gaining time against the bishop
milpat(1984) whispers: since he forced to trade on c4 (or almost forced) 12...Rfc8 (0:58)
tjradd(2163) whispers: only 588 games in my db here :p
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: 'only' ;) 13.Kb1 (2:07)
milpat(1984) whispers: now Nc4 13...Nc4 (1:07)
tjradd(2163) whispers: Nc4 is the main move 14.Bxc4 (0:15) Rxc4 (0:04) 15.g4 (0:08)
milpat(1984) whispers: then double on c, classic
tjradd(2163) whispers: g4 is a sideline for me
milpat(1984) whispers: Bxg4?
tjradd(2163) whispers: Rac8 and RxN 15...Rac8 (0:36) 16.g5 (0:05) Nh5 (0:31)
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: both sides are playing pretty speedily.... 17.Nd5 (0:05) Qxd2 (0:14) Misteraw offers a draw.
milpat(1984) whispers: Nh5 locks everything Rockazb declines the draw request. 18.Rxd2 (0:16)
milpat(1984) whispers: another jinx player
tjradd(2163) whispers: I am not sure what white is doing
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: yeah hard to believe white is better after g5 Nh5
tjradd(2163) whispers: he has fatally weakened his kingside pawns.. and trades queens
tjradd(2163) whispers: hard for me to accept that white is ok in an ending
milpat(1984) whispers: Kf8
tjradd(2163) whispers: the heck with offering a draw, I make a big pot of coffee
tjradd(2163) whispers: I expect black to win in under 100 moves
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: I'm hoping you're all wrong :P
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: maybe theory says this is equal, but its the kind of position you play the sicilian to get
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: just so much easier to play as black, the minority attack is a ready-made plan
tjradd(2163) whispers: I wonder if Ne8 was better than Nh5
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: if he knew the queen trade was coming, sure
tjradd(2163) whispers: yeah ok :)
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: :)
tjradd(2163) whispers: my crafty says white is better (it's only ~2000 rated) - I don't buy it, I think white is almost lost 18...e6 (3:29)
tjradd(2163) whispers: wowowow 19.Ne7+ (0:08)
milpat(1984) whispers: ? 19...Kf8 (0:06) 20.Nxc8 (0:04) Rxc8 (0:02)
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: is this somehow a sound exchange sac? ... I don't see it... 21.Ne2 (0:16)
smallblackcat(2164) whispers: hardly seems like it
tjradd(2163) whispers: is somehow terrible blunder :)
milpat(1984) whispers: mistake i believe
milpat(1984) whispers: Nf4 will unlock kside over that
tjradd(2163) whispers: leaving your e7 pawn does not feel like a dragoneer's typical error, comfort misteraw 21...Ke7 (0:43)
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: seems to be a day of tactical oopses for rejoicingtacticians (no pun intended).. I had similar good fortune in my game earlier today
Misteraw(2058) whispers: was not focus at all just arrive home was not ready to play i miss the simple Ne7 fork ...sorry for my teammate,will try to save it but its gone a be very tough.
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: is a7 poisonous somehow?
milpat(1984) whispers: maybe not dramatic, but do u need to open lines to ur K? 22.Bxa7 (6:08)
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: if I was playing I'd probably accept some uncomfortable pressure for an extra point of material :).. aha, and so would rockazb 22...Ra8 (0:26) 23.Bd4 (0:06) Bxd4 (1:54)
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: with the bishop exchange lines at the white king are less uncomfortable and the a pawn grab seems even better
tjradd(2163) whispers: I think it's resignable
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: me too 24.Rxd4 (3:23) e5 (0:22) 25.Rb4 (1:22) Bc6 (1:40) 26.Rd1 (0:17) f5 (0:06)
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: en passant seems good?
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: with the amount of thinking going in to the move perhaps it's not as simple of a choice as it seems? 27.exf5 (9:27) gxf5 (0:10)
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: passant looked better
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: now black might have "counterplay" with central mass
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: yeah :(
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: though i am not even really looking at the game i guess
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: is f4 Bf3 fxe5 Bxe2 exd6+ any good? 28.Rb3 (5:35)
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: well it looks pretty unnecessary
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: I'm known for being unnecessarily complicated ;)
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: i guess :p 28...Ra4 (0:46) 29.Rh1 (4:47)
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: not having taken en passant is looking worse now :p
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: I don't understand what Rh1 is for....
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: defend h4 obv
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: yeah but, is that the only way to do it?
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: dunno :p
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: it certainly looks bad

shivaroxxx(1791) whispers: there it is!
shivaroxxx(1791) whispers: :P
Suiseiseki(2232) whispers: i think he didnt see that bxf3 protected on h5
OsaridSaris(2045) whispers: right
