avidmate(1818) whispers: isnt Nxd4 Qxd4 Bc5 a good tempo ?
9.Qxd4 (0:10)
avidmate(1818) whispers: ah
9...Bc5 (0:19) 10.Qd3 (1:56)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: ok I am out of book
10...b5 (1:03)
avidmate(1818) whispers: after b5 Bb7 the e4 pawn is under pressure
11.Kh1 (2:58)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: In the name of flexibility
11...Bb7 (1:16)
NBZ(2106) whispers: f4 h5 seems very interesting
12.f4 (1:24)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: a common route
NBZ(2106) whispers: d5 is also possible hmm
NBZ(2106) whispers: h5 Qg3 is what I'm looking at
12...h5 (7:24)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: Ok, I was just ponering this possiblity
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: podering
NBZ(2106) whispers: Qg3 Kf8!? should be fine but I am also considering Qg3 Nxe4 Nxe4 Bxe4 Qxg7 O-O-O
NBZ(2106) whispers: so i know that h5 is the move in a very similar variation where White hasn't played a3
NBZ(2106) whispers: i am banking on the fact that the extra tempo that a3 has provided me makes the idea work even better
13.Be3 (7:08)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: only idea
NBZ(2106) whispers: Ng4 Bxc5 Qxc5 Qg3 f5 is probably too wild right?
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: Where goes his king?
Koff(2037) whispers: long looks probable, but no hurry
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: Bf3 is useful waiting move
13...d5 (15:32)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: For a change I have more time
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: wow
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: Well, I could do a direct threat
Koff(2037) whispers: so e5? :)
14.Nxb5 (10:51)
Koff(2037) whispers: hmm, black has Nd7
NBZ(2106) whispers: Qb6 looks forced here
Bionchess(2224) whispers: that was a clever move!
14...Qb6 (4:02)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: make a new threat
15.Bxc5 (1:04) Qxc5 (0:24)
NBZ(2106) whispers: interesting tactic...i wonder if he gave any thought to 15. Qc3 or 15. e5
NBZ(2106) whispers: i am ashamed to admit i never even considered Nxb5 :)
16.e5 (0:51)
Bionchess(2224) whispers: can you think of all possible moves? ;)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: hm.. if my knight blocks on d4 it is some kind of french position
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: But the check on d6 is more tasty
16...Ne4 (3:07)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: I missed that one
17.Nd4 (2:01)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: f5 is an idea
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: Unless he goes g6
17...O-O-O (5:16)
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: Wow, i did not consider that
NBZ(2106) whispers: in retrospect, combining h5 and d5 wasn't a good idea, should have picked one and stuck with it
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: I was also thinking of advancing q-side pawns...
NBZ(2106) whispers: there are still a few attacking chances though
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: f5 loosens e5pawn
gubbengraa(1993) whispers: He intes to loosen it anyway with g5

NBZ(2106) whispers: can't allow the f5 break
22.Nxb7 (3:11) Kxb7 (0:39)
Koff(2037) whispers: how white's gonna follow?
23.Rfe1 (0:40)
NBZ(2106) whispers: wonder if Nf2+ is any good
23...Nc3 (1:45)
NBZ(2106) whispers: let's just go for the straightfroward blockade
24.Kg1 (0:18) Rc8 (1:01) 25.Kf2 (0:23)
