1.e4 (0:00) e5 (0:00) 2.Nf3 (0:07) Nc6 (0:02) 3.Bb5 (0:14) f5 (0:02) 4.Nc3 (0:57) fxe4 (0:07) 5.Nxe4 (0:00) Nf6 (0:19) 6.Nxf6+ (1:14) Qxf6 (0:33) 7.Qe2 (1:09) d6 (2:06) 8.d4 (0:13) Bd7 (0:42) 9.dxe5 (2:15) dxe5 (0:52) 10.Bg5 (0:16)
ShakaZahn(2135) whispers: I picked the wrong day to use a new schliemann line, given my attention is divided
ShakaZahn(2135) whispers: this already looks terrible 10...Qf5 (0:26)
offtherook(2154) whispers: Haven't really been an e4 player in a while, but playing against the Schliemann was too tempting to pass up. We'll see if I've overestimated white's prospects 11.O-O-O (3:44) Bd6 (0:38) 12.Bd3 (2:14) Qf7 (2:53) 13.Kb1 (0:22) h6 (0:06) 14.Bh4 (0:45) g5 (2:59) 15.Bg3 (0:19) O-O-O (0:03) 16.Bc4 (0:46) Be6 (0:37)
offtherook(2154) whispers: Better pawn structure but my dark bishop is rather out of play. Do I start piling up on e5?
offtherook(2154) whispers: Oh, after BxB QxB Nd4 I can trade two pairs of minor pieces and then bring my bishop back into the game by opening a path with f3 17.Bxe6+ (3:08) Qxe6 (0:04) 18.Nd4 (0:00) Nxd4 (0:17)
offtherook(2154) whispers: Would've expected Qd7 instead, but it doesn't look like it changes much this way 19.Rxd4 (0:31)
ShakaZahn(2135) whispers: think I will offer a draw, but only because I messed up my scheduling
ShakaZahn(2135) whispers: but won't blame him for playing on
offtherook(2154) whispers: main difference here is I'm one tempo ahead in piling heavies on the weak pawn, since Rd4 can scooch to e4 19...Rhe8 (1:52) ShakaZahn offers a draw.
offtherook(2154) whispers: I would have to refuse a draw request before move 20 as a matter of honor, even if I didn't like my position
offtherook(2154) whispers: and I do rather like my position offtherook declines the draw request. 20.Re4 (1:32)
smallblackcat(2373) whispers: that's a 'Man U are playing' draw offer, I suspect ;) 20...Re7 (2:01) 21.h4 (0:39) Rde8 (0:38) 22.hxg5 (0:21) hxg5 (0:03)
offtherook(2154) whispers: The e pawn isn't going anywhere, no need to rush on attacking it. Let's create some luft in case it matters at some point 23.a3 (1:32) Qf5 (1:02) 24.f3 (3:41) Re6 (3:08) 25.Re1 (0:36) Kb8 (1:24) 26.Bf2 (1:51) Qf8 (0:12)
offtherook(2154) whispers: Hm can I gobble the g5 pawn after Qe3 b6 or no?
offtherook(2154) whispers: seems like it should leave my g pawn vulnerable but his pieces are coordinated enough to do it
offtherook(2154) whispers: I'm gonna go for it 27.Qe3 (2:10) b6 (0:51) 28.Qxg5 (0:03)
ShakaZahn(2135) whispers: simultaneously lost a pawn and ruined my threat of Bxa3, well played indeed 28...Bc5 (0:43)
ShakaZahn(2135) whispers: resignable
offtherook(2154) whispers: wait, isn't this dropping the e pawn as well?
evilcoyote(2131) whispers: Bc5 looks bad. Bxc5 Qxc5 f4
ShakaZahn(2135) whispers: chess is not fun when you can't pay attention
offtherook(2154) whispers: BxB QxB f4 and I believe I get to trade everything and have trivial endgame, no? 29.Bxc5 (2:13) ShakaZahn lost connection; game adjourned *
