farmerx(1838) vs. schachbjm(2398) 0-1

1.e4 {(0:00)} e6 {(0:00)} 2.Nf3 {(0:14)} d5 {(0:01)} 3.Nc3 {(0:03)} Nf6 {(0:05)} 4.e5 {(0:04)} Ne4 {(0:07)} 5.d4 {(0:38)} c5 {(0:25)} 6.dxc5 {(0:40)} Qa5 {(0:54)} 7.Bd2 {(0:18)} Nxd2 {(0:19)} 8.Qxd2 {(0:13)} Bxc5 {(0:02)} 9.Bd3 {(0:28)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: I could play Bb4 here and argue that my structure is slightly better in the resulting endgame

schachbjm(2398) whispers: I would love to prevent him from castling kingside but I do not see a way to do so

schachbjm(2398) whispers: In addition, I could also play a developing move like Nc6 or O-O here and the position should be around equal

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Nc6 has the disadvantage that I might want to play Nd7 later challenging the pawn on e5 and maybe even aiming for the c5 square}
9...Bb4 {(2:25)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: I assume white should just ignore it, keep the tension and castle away}
10.O-O {(0:36)} O-O {(0:07)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Bxh7+ Ng5+ should not work here

schachbjm(2398) whispers: even though it looks quite interesting}
11.Bxh7+ {(1:01)} Kxh7 {(0:02)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: I have Re8 Kf8-e7 at the end}
12.Qd3+ {(0:27)} Kg8 {(0:01)} 13.Ng5 {(0:02)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: I guess Ng5 first would have been more precise as this allowed me to play g6 if I wished}
13...Re8 {(0:39)} 14.Qh7+ {(0:23)} Kf8 {(0:01)} 15.Qh8+ {(0:02)} Ke7 {(0:02)} 16.Qxg7 {(0:01)} Nc6 {(0:43)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: it is more dangerous that I thought

schachbjm(2398) whispers: still I think I will find a defense here}
17.Qxf7+ {(0:20)} Kd8 {(0:01)} 18.Qf6+ {(0:18)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: materialwise it is equal and he has the attack and the better king ... so he is clearly in the driverseat

schachbjm(2398) whispers: question is whether there is a direct win for him

schachbjm(2398) whispers: normally I am the one attacking}
18...Kc7 {(0:40)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Bxc3 is not t hat appealing anymore as it would open the b-file for him

schachbjm(2398) whispers: my king is fairly save now but the rook on a8 is a mess

schachbjm(2398) whispers: and my pieces lack coordination}
19.Qf4 {(1:57)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: I should try to use my extra minor piece before his passers become too dangerous

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Bxc3 bxc Qxc attacking both e5 and c2 might be an idea to win 2 pawns}
19...Bxc3 {(1:12)} 20.bxc3 {(0:08)} Qxc3 {(0:00)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: he has to defend e5 here I guess

schachbjm(2398) whispers: it is a key factor limiting my coordination and king safety}
21.Nf7 {(0:29)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Qd4 might be an idea to offer a queen trade (which are always in my favour in positions like this)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: alternatively, Bd7 looks good to connect rooks and improve my king safety

schachbjm(2398) whispers: taking on c2 seems greedy concerning moves such as Rc1 and future doubling}
21...Qd4 {(2:23)} 22.Qf6 {(0:19)} Bd7 {(0:04)} 23.Rab1 {(0:05)} Rf8 {(0:17)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: I doubt that he can double on the b-file easily as I have Qg4 Rg8 at some moment with own attacking ideas

schachbjm(2398) whispers: white plays a strong game here taking his rating :)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: I just notice that I cannot take on f7 as planned winning the key pawn on e5 for the exchange due to Rxb7 at the end}
24.Rxb7+ {(2:33)} Kxb7 {(0:10)} 25.Nd6+ {(0:07)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: I have to take so I should not waste time

schachbjm(2398) whispers: still I do not see how he breaks through here}
25...Ka6 {(0:27)} 26.Qg7 {(0:39)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Nxe5 looks strong but it is kind of self-pinning}
26...Rad8 {(0:46)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: solid prophylactic move}
27.Qg3 {(0:18)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Qa3+ is the idea obviously

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Na5 Qa3 Qa4 though}
27...Na5 {(1:19)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: next steps are removing e5 and d6 at the cost of a rook}
28.c3 {(1:02)} Qf4 {(0:11)} 29.Qd3+ {(0:08)} Nc4 {(0:12)} 30.a4 {(0:19)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Bxa4 should be possible as f2 is threatened binding the rook to f1}
30...Bxa4 {(0:43)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: preparing to sac on d6

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Rxd6 exd Qxd next

schachbjm(2398) whispers: Ra1 might be the best practical try here for white}
31.g3 {(1:57)} Qd2 {(0:34)

schachbjm(2398) whispers: white is finding ressources :)}
32.Qb1 {(0:32)} Qb2 {(0:13)} 33.Qd3 {(0:02)} Rxd6 {(0:02)} 34.exd6 {(0:02)} Bb5 {(0:08)} 35.h4 {(0:01)} Nd2 {(0:12)} 36.Qh7 {(0:01)}
