krmchess(2148) vs. evilmike(2085) 0-1

KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I looked up evilmike's games and he seems to play 4... Bg4 slav. He actually played 10... h5 that Marin didn't cover but I did find 2 games in database. I guess he'll vary a bit from game against smallblackcat a couple of weeks ago 1.c4 (0:00) c6 (0:00) 2.g3 (0:13) d5 (0:01) 3.Nf3 (0:02) Bg4 (0:02) 4.Bg2 (0:35) e6 (0:15)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I guess it means I can't transpose into previous game 5.cxd5 (1:08) exd5 (0:02) 6.O-O (0:35) Nd7 (0:08) 7.d3 (0:10) Ngf6 (0:02) 8.Nc3 (0:28) Be7 (1:06) 9.h3 (1:31) Bxf3 (7:47) 10.Bxf3 (0:03) Qb6 (0:02) 11.e4 (2:14) dxe4 (0:13) 12.dxe4 (0:03) Ne5 (0:02) 13.Be2 (0:28) Rd8 (0:09) 14.Qc2 (0:27)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I think white looks good here after Be3 and f4. I think I'll have a nice spatial edge although with team being 2-0 I have to convert it to a win
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: Be3 is met by Bc5 so maybe Kg2 might be better
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: Actually Bc5 loses to Na4 so Kg2 isn't necessary 14...O-O (6:16) 15.Be3 (0:46) c5 (1:20)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I didn't consider c5 so that was an oversight on my part. While attacking it thrice and it being defended only twice it seems like I can take it but alas e4 or b2 would be left hanging with close equality. I'm assuming long term plan is c4 and then Nd3 so I think f4 first is essential 16.f4 (2:05)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I think Nc6 is forced as Ned7 loses a piece to e5 16...Nc6 (3:41)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I'm not sure if after 16... Nc6 if now 17. Na4 works
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: Looking at intermediates Nd4 would lose to Bxd4 while 17. Na4 Nb4 18. Qc4 Qa5 19. Nxc5 is OK as 19... Rc8 is met by 20. Nxb7 breaking pin and attacking queen
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: so I think it works and now with Nc6 it's harder to pin piece that wins c5 17.Na4 (7:23) Nb4 (0:02) 18.Qc4 (0:06) Qa5 (8:59)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: Also note that 18... Qa5 19. Nxc5 Bxc5 20. Bxc5 leaves Nb4 and Rf8 under attack hence why I assumed 19... Rc8 20. Nxb7 is critical line where queen has no escape and queen exchange is probably a bit unsound as after Rxc4 I'm attacking rook and Rc2 means fork is off
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: Time for a quick blunder check but I think it's OK
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: 19... b6 was late worry but then Nb7 works better than Rc8 line as it's a fork 19.Nxc5 (2:27) Rc8 (0:28)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: Amazingly enough after 20. Nxb7 Qa4 I think my best move is 21. Nc5
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: although I need to watch out for the Nc2 fork 20.Nxb7 (3:52) Rxc4 (0:07) 21.Nxa5 (0:04) Rxe4 (0:01)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I missed that at the end. Only saving grace is that now I have 22. Kf2 Nc2 23. Bd3
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: although that might well fail to 22. Kf2 Nc2 23. Bd3 Nxd3 24. Bxd4 and too much is hanging
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: Actually having looked at it best plan is to simply give up the exchange as a couple of passed pawns and bishop pair makes up for it
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: 22. Kf2 Nc2 23. Bxa7 is my plan with Nc6 to follow 22.Kf2 (7:04)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I guess after looking for ways to save the exchange I opted to drown the elephant a la Tal
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I've realised with hindsight that I may have slightly misquoted Tal analogy. Having said that important part of thinking process was realising I didn't have to save the exchange 22...Nc2 (7:03) 23.Bxa7 (0:19) Nxa1 (0:10) 24.Rxa1 (0:04)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: Ra8 and Ra4 fortunately fail to Nc6 24...Ra4 (1:55) 25.Nc6 (0:05) Rxa7 (0:20)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: I missed exchange sac so I'll be a piece for 2 pawns down 26.Nxa7 (0:17) Bc5+ (0:08) 27.Kf3 (0:02) Bxa7 (0:07) 28.b4 (0:09) Re8 (0:24)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: My only hope is to march pawns up and try to queen one. Opposite squared bishops make things awkward 29.Bd1 (2:46) Re3+ (0:51) 30.Kg2 (0:07)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: Exchanging rooks probably helps me as at the moment black's mating threats are more dangerous than my queening threats 30...Ne4 (1:29) 31.Bf3 (0:16) Nd2 (0:09) 32.Rd1 (2:17) Rd3 (0:02) 33.a4 (0:22) Nxf3 (0:05)
KRMCHESS(2148) whispers: another blunder :( KRMCHESS resigns 0-1
