ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: e5 is already rare, and exd4 also much less played than Qxd4
ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: guess I'm winging it today
5.Bb5+ (6:17) c6 (0:37)
milpat(1970) whispers: Go ShaK!
6.Bc4 (0:06) Nf6 (0:38) 7.Ng5 (0:06) Bb4+ (1:05)
milpat(1970) whispers: i suppose c3 is cool
8.c3 (3:57) Qe7+ (1:05) 9.Kf1 (0:21) dxc3 (3:44)
ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: this has become a bastard evans gambit
milpat(1970) whispers: where white has not castled :o
10.Bxf7+ (5:48) Kf8 (1:06) 11.Qb3 (0:21) Bf5 (5:38) 12.N1f3 (2:59) Nbd7 (0:27) 13.bxc3 (2:32) Bd6 (3:51)
milpat(1970) whispers: Nd4 appears tempting?
milpat(1970) whispers: though Nc5 is going to happen
14.Be3 (4:02) h6 (3:34) 15.Be6 (1:32)
axeltiger(2302) whispers: wow, this is some crazy stuff
15...Bd3+ (1:26)
axeltiger(2302) whispers: Bd30
axeltiger(2302) whispers: this just wins a piece right?
axeltiger(2302) whispers: but then again, white has an attack going
smallblackcat(2317) whispers: BOTH kings on f-square is pretty amusing
16.Kg1 (0:36)
axeltiger(2302) whispers: it's not going to be trivial to win, even though I suspect that black is indeed winning here
16...hxg5 (0:17) 17.Nxg5 (1:03)
smallblackcat(2317) whispers: well the light squares around black's king are very vulnerable
17...Nc5 (3:29) 18.Bxc5 (1:12) Bxc5 (0:47) 19.Rd1 (0:12)
smallblackcat(2317) whispers: trouble is, no easy way to bring the last piece into the attack
milpat(1970) whispers: thought of h4/Rh3
19...Ne4 (2:06)
ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: was hoping for Rd8 Nf7, this is a little unexpected and annoying
axeltiger(2302) whispers: ok this seems like a good way to simplify the position
ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: really wish I knew half the things going on
axeltiger(2302) whispers: it's a bit tricky
ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: not sure why I do this to myself every game
axeltiger(2302) whispers: but I don't think that Nxe4 is good enough for white
axeltiger(2302) whispers: basically Nxe4 Bxe4 Rd7 Rd8
axeltiger(2302) whispers: hmmm
axeltiger(2302) whispers: wait, there is a queen on b3
axeltiger(2302) whispers: then it might be playable
ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: Rxd3 Nxg5 is no good, eliminate
axeltiger(2302) whispers: but there is Qg5 after Rd7
axeltiger(2302) whispers: tough to defend against two mate threats
axeltiger(2302) whispers: yeah, this seems like Bion managed to find a nice way to kill
ShakaZahn(2100) whispers: Nxd4 Bxd4 Rd7 looks like the only practical way to play, calculcations be damned
20.Nxe4 (6:32) Bxe4 (1:03) 21.Rd7 (0:07)
milpat(1970) whispers: Rd7 then Qg5 is double threat
axeltiger(2302) whispers: Qg5 now seems like the end
milpat(1970) whispers: Rf7 Ke8 Bd7 Kd8
21...Qg5 (1:33)
axeltiger(2302) whispers: indeed
axeltiger(2302) whispers: the double threat of Qxg2 and Qc1 is too much to deal with
22.g4 (1:45)
axeltiger(2302) whispers: Now Qc1+ Rd1 Qc2 is curtains if nothing else
axeltiger(2302) whispers: honestly, even Qc1 Rd1 Qf4 looks deadly
axeltiger(2302) whispers: probably even stronger than the first line I gamve
22...Rd8 (2:12) ShakaZahn resigns 0-1

Comments

bionchess (2020-03-08): In retrospect, Ng1f3 would have been more prudent for white.

bionchess (2020-03-08): or Ng1e2

bionchess (2020-03-08): thanks to all who commented.
