1.d4 {(0:00)HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: Well here goes nothing }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: pretty sure he's going to go for a Slav setup }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: gotta play fast too HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: Bion does not waste time }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: hey there schach schachbjm(2391) whispers: hey :) schachbjm(2391) whispers: looking forward to a great instructive game }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: if Bg4 Nbd2 }schachbjm(2391) whispers: I am totally out of book here ... HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: Qa4 or Qb5 schachbjm(2391) whispers: I prefer Qb5 here :) schachbjm(2391) whispers: does black has to defend b7? schachbjm(2391) whispers: Qb5 Bg7?! Qxb7?!; sth. across these lines }schachbjm(2391) whispers: Bg2 O-O looks most natural here HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: right, e4 fails to Nb6 schachbjm(2391) whispers: black might play Nb6 and O-O here }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: actually I think Nxd4 worked }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: not good. I did not think his moves were strongest yet black is clearly better out of the opening }axeltiger(2267) whispers: Castling on opposite sides, very uncompromising HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: Ng5 or Ne4 axeltiger(2267) whispers: but this is pretty good for white, right? }axeltiger(2267) whispers: or maybe black is planning to play very actively with ...Bc4 followed by ...e axeltiger(2267) whispers: ...e5 axeltiger(2267) whispers: simply no messing around axeltiger(2267) whispers: still, I'm kind of worried for black here axeltiger(2267) whispers: I think that Ne4 might've been stronger than Ng5, since black will have the option of going ...f5 before white gets a knight to e4 now }schachbjm(2391) whispers: Jag tror att svart aer baettre haer HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: h6 probably schachbjm(2391) whispers: hey axel axeltiger(2267) whispers: ah hello schachbjm(2391) whispers: h6 Nge4 f5 Nc5 Qe8 is what I am assuming here schachbjm(2391) whispers: or Qd6 at the end axeltiger(2267) whispers: yeah, maybe black is better her schachbjm(2391) whispers: e5 might be a move at some moment axeltiger(2267) whispers: yeah axeltiger(2267) whispers: is it better to let white's knight get to c5, or do we play ...f5 first? schachbjm(2391) whispers: f5 immediately looks strong, too }axeltiger(2267) whispers: this was not my top choice schachbjm(2391) whispers: same for me schachbjm(2391) whispers: d5 here? or Nge4 nonetheless axeltiger(2267) whispers: d5 feels like the most straight-forward }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: if I am lucky I might get an inferior endgame schachbjm(2391) whispers: mass exchanges on d5 and Nxf7 at the end schachbjm(2391) whispers: what am I overlooking here? schachbjm(2391) whispers: Rf8 Ng5 does not trap the knight axeltiger(2267) whispers: what are you calculating? the exchange on d5? schachbjm(2391) whispers: Nxd5 Nxd5 Bxd5 Bxd5 Qxd5 Qxd5 Rxd5 Nxf7 }schachbjm(2391) whispers: not sure whether the order of trades matter, just having a look at the resulting endgame }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: thought so schachbjm(2391) whispers: now h6 f5 is not that easy anymore as white has played e4 axeltiger(2267) whispers: indeed axeltiger(2267) whispers: I'm kind of concerned about black's c4 bishop, it's on the wrong side of the board }schachbjm(2391) whispers: what happens after Nxe1 here? }schachbjm(2391) whispers: Qxe1 Bd3 or is there sth. better? schachbjm(2391) whispers: ahh, missed Bh3 }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: can he rescue the knight? }axeltiger(2267) whispers: very nice, white's knight is trapped schachbjm(2391) whispers: missed this whole sequence schachbjm(2391) whispers: nice one axeltiger(2267) whispers: I failed to see that white's knight would get stuck in the end schachbjm(2391) whispers: Nxf7 Qxf7 Qxe1 most likely schachbjm(2391) whispers: how is the resulting position? axeltiger(2267) whispers: I assume better for black HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: one move too short :D schachbjm(2391) whispers: Qxe1 hxg is not any better axeltiger(2267) whispers: but white will have some play on the queenside schachbjm(2391) whispers: as the h-file opens axeltiger(2267) whispers: no, that seems just great for black schachbjm(2391) whispers: with massive attacking potential }axeltiger(2267) whispers: qxe1 seems best here axeltiger(2267) whispers: the c5 push will let black's e1 knight escape to d4, where it's excellent HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: c5 also don't work HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: Nf3 and Nd4 HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: can't keep the extra pawn }axeltiger(2267) whispers: indeed, but white has some compensation for the exchange here }schachbjm(2391) whispers: Nxc4 Rb1 axeltiger(2267) whispers: black will not be able to cruise to victory here schachbjm(2391) whispers: Bf1-a6 might be possible at some point }axeltiger(2267) whispers: hmm schachbjm(2391) whispers: with LSB, knight and R into attack, black has to be somewhat careful schachbjm(2391) whispers: at the moment it feels like white is slightly stronger, but calculation is needed schachbjm(2391) whispers: I wont play this on intuition offtherook(2204) whispers: offering to give up the bishop pair seems questionable axeltiger(2267) whispers: maybe, but can black really take it? schachbjm(2391) whispers: I would take it and play a6 axeltiger(2267) whispers: white's queen will get its sight locked on a7 schachbjm(2391) whispers: to limit whites play axeltiger(2267) whispers: can we begin by playing ...a6 here? schachbjm(2391) whispers: Bf8-Bd6 consolidate and enjoy the material edge schachbjm(2391) whispers: not sure schachbjm(2391) whispers: Be3 seems somewhat wrong to me offtherook(2204) whispers: NxB QxB a6 and then... white's gotta come up with some mate threats fast schachbjm(2391) whispers: Rb1 Na4 Bf1-Ba6 is what I would have played most likely axeltiger(2267) whispers: at the very least, white could've begun the whole thing by going Rb1 }axeltiger(2267) whispers: Qf6 here? schachbjm(2391) whispers: does that really help black? axeltiger(2267) whispers: I guess that the plan is to relocate the queen somewhere axeltiger(2267) whispers: I don't really know exactly where though schachbjm(2391) whispers: Qf6 seems sensible }schachbjm(2391) whispers: Rb1 Na4 ... again axeltiger(2267) whispers: at the very least black's queen can now move to the queenside offtherook(2204) whispers: whisper no rush on taking the DSB, it has no good escape squares with the knight there }schachbjm(2391) whispers: Bf1 Na4 here most likely schachbjm(2391) whispers: let us see how black defends here? }axeltiger(2267) whispers: this came as a surprise KRMCHESS(2083) whispers: Bd6 with Bc5 or Bd4 ideas now works offtherook(2204) whispers: loosening the kingside when you need to be hunting for mate on the queenside... }offtherook(2204) whispers: although it seems to have worked out here HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: black's defending has been excellent }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: uh, Nb5 was better I guess }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: nothing better HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: he gets an attack going too, and more dangerous than mine }axeltiger(2267) whispers: this is excellent for black HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: damn it, no chance here HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: his bishop is too strong offtherook(2204) whispers: last best hope is e5, d6, hope black has a misstep }KRMCHESS(2083) whispers: b6 I think neutralises threats of Rxb7 offtherook(2204) whispers: but e5 Bc5+ Kh1 Bb6 holds everything }offtherook(2204) whispers: b6 }offtherook(2204) whispers: black could exchange sac here for immediate two-result position, which guarantees his team a match win and likely first place in the tournament }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: messed up again HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: Rc8 Bf3 was correct I think }KRMCHESS(2083) whispers: 39... Rxa2 40. Rxg5 Kxe6 41. Bd5+ looks nice forking King and Rook but unfortunately Kf6 attacks Rg5 so I don't think it won material for white }offtherook(2204) whispers: Re8 gg }offtherook(2204) whispers: or same idea krmchess already mentioned wins too KRMCHESS(2083) whispers: 41... Kxe6 and fork fails again }axeltiger(2273) whispers: last cheapo, it doesn't work KRMCHESS(2083) whispers: I think black can probably blunder a rook and still draw offtherook(2204) whispers: even Rxg2 wins HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: unfortunately even I cannot do anything in this position }HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: I apologise for playing on here HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: I just need to get comfortable with the idea that the game is totally lost :) }KRMCHESS(2083) whispers: Playing on is always justified. If you resign you're 100% guaranteed to lose. If you play on you might snatch a draw or even a win }KRMCHESS(2083) whispers: Ideal variation for white is 50... Ke5 51. Re7+ Kf4 52. Re4+ Kg3 53. Rg4# although very unlikely to happe KRMCHESS(2083) whispers: *happen }offtherook(2204) whispers: hard to find a bad plan for black now HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: alright, time to call it a day HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: and call it a game, too HyperMagnus(2222) whispers: congrats to Bion for an impeccable game }
