schachbjm(2329) kibitzes: Good luck and have fun! ||*(
MichaelOgbeide(2086) kibitzes: thanks 1.e4 (0:00) c5 (0:00) 2.Nf3 (0:02)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: expecting an accelerated dragon 2...Nc6 (0:06) 3.d4 (0:02) cxd4 (0:05) 4.Nxd4 (0:00) g6 (0:07) 5.Nc3 (0:45) Bg7 (0:07) 6.Be3 (0:01) e6 (0:10) 7.Qd2 (0:07) Nge7 (0:03) 8.O-O-O (0:44) O-O (0:18)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: 6 ... e6 is somewhat uncommon
schachbjm(2329) whispers: I ll spend some time here, this does not look right to me how he handles the accelerated dragon
schachbjm(2329) whispers: h4-h5 and black is in huge trouble 9.h4 (2:22) d5 (0:48)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: in addition, Ndb5 is always an idea ...
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Nxc6 bxc6 (... Nxc6 drops a pawn) h5 and I do not see how black organizes counterplay in time 10.Nxc6 (2:58) bxc6 (1:07) 11.h5 (0:02)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Bh6 Bxh6 Qxh6 followed by hxg leads to mate already, just to show in how big troubles black is facing here
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Qa5 and Re8 are the only moves here to prevent me from winning the exchange (he cannot allow a trade of DSB
offtherook(2316) whispers: odd mixing of ideas by black, to play e6 and d5 in an accelerated dragon 11...Qa5 (3:30)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Bh6 Bxc3 Qxc3 Qxc3 bxc3 looks great (dominating the dark squares and blacks king is short of squares)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: but maybe there is even sth. better 12.Bh6 (2:47) Bxc3 (1:20) 13.Qxc3 (0:00) Qxc3 (0:03) 14.bxc3 (0:00) Re8 (0:03)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: e5 is appealing, making his LSB even worse. I can follow-up with Bd3 and maybe there is a good moment for hxg 15.e5 (2:01)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: given the pawn structure and the bishop pair, white should be significantly better - if not even winning already
offtherook(2316) whispers: g4 for white looks strong at some point too, black can't risk opening the file
schachbjm(2329) whispers: I can gain space with f4 and g4 whenever I want
schachbjm(2329) whispers: my king is safer than his one even though I do not have a b- nor d-pawn
schachbjm(2329) whispers: a5 Ba6 might be his best practical try, getting rid of my strong bishop pair
Bionchess(2271) whispers: White's kinside pawn could be a powerful "Armada" 15...a5 (4:09)
offtherook(2316) whispers: black found the Ba6 plan which must be his only practical chance
offtherook(2316) whispers: what about g4 Ba6 Bh3 here, to keep the bishop pair?
offtherook(2316) whispers: white could then follow with f4, possibly even f5
Bionchess(2271) whispers: trading white color Bs may not be a bad idea
blore(1914) whispers: woof
Bionchess(2271) whispers: although in end game a pair of bishops are very powerful..
offtherook(2316) whispers: my thought is that black's LSB is kinda useless and white's still has the opportunity to support a kingside pawn storm
schachbjm(2329) whispers: I do not see a good way to keep the bishop pair, so Kd2 Ba6 Bxa6 Rxa6 Rb1 is tempting. However, if there is a good way to keep the bishop pair, I will go for it
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Be2 Ba6 Bg4 is a way to keep the LSB on the board
schachbjm(2329) whispers: c4 Ba6 is the alternative 16.c4 (11:07) Ba6 (1:41) 17.Bg5 (0:50)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: I really liked c4 Bg5 when I calculated it as c4 cannot be taken here
schachbjm(2329) whispers: due to Rd7 winning a piece
Bionchess(2271) whispers: clever
schachbjm(2329) whispers: I think most lower rated players will fall for it, missing that the knight cannot move away due to hxg and blacks king is busted
schachbjm(2329) whispers: *would
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Nf5 is not possible here stepping out of the idea due to g4 and the knight has to go back
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Ra7 might be a way to cover the d7-square, but it looks quite passive 17...Ra7 (9:34) 18.Rh4 (1:08) Rb8 (4:29)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: I am not convinced that this is playable for him ...
schachbjm(2329) whispers: it looks risky that both e7 and a6 are defended by the same piece
schachbjm(2329) whispers: my first idea here was cxd followed by d6 and this protected passed pawn is nasty to deal with
schachbjm(2329) whispers: but he can prevent me from getting d6 in by just taking the pawn ...
schachbjm(2329) whispers: I have to calculate cxd Bxf1?! d6?! Nf5?! here and cxd Nxd Bxa6 Rxa6 hxg with the idea to play Rdh1 next
schachbjm(2329) whispers: cxd cxd/exd is not playable as Bxe7 Bxf1 Bd6 followed by Rxf1 wins a piece
schachbjm(2329) whispers: I just have to make the cxd Bxf1?! line to work ...
schachbjm(2329) whispers: cxd Bxf1 d6 Nf5 d7 Rxd7 Rxd7 Nxh4 Bxh4 and we end in an opposite colored bishop endgame with equal pawns (if I count them correctly)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: maybe I can move the rook from h4 ... let us say to f4
schachbjm(2329) whispers: cxd Bxf1 d6 Nf5 Rf4 Bxg2 d7 is winning even though he can block the file with Bd5 (I can promote and win the exchange) 19.cxd5 (14:14) Nxd5 (4:12) 20.Bxa6 (0:09) Rxa6 (0:03) 21.hxg6 (0:02)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: now it is over
schachbjm(2329) whispers: even though I will have to convert it
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Bxf1 was the critical line (in my humble opinion)
blore(1914) whispers: WOOF
schachbjm(2329) whispers: but never call it a win until the scoresheet is signed
blore(1914) whispers: woof
schachbjm(2329) whispers: c4 Rd7 is crushing 21...fxg6 (2:05) 22.c4 (0:03) Nc3 (0:09)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: it is just one spice check, right?
schachbjm(2329) whispers: let me double check before playing Rd7
blore(1914) whispers: woof :))
offtherook(2316) whispers: well played schach 23.Rd7 (0:53) h5 (0:12)
blore(1914) whispers: woof the position looks like a plus for white
schachbjm(2329) whispers: missed h5 as a defending ressource, but still this looks hopeless
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Rf4 is not possible due to the fork
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Bh6 Rg7+ followed by Rxg6 and Rxh5 is convincing 24.Bh6 (1:55) Rab6 (0:13)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: my king should easily escape his spice checks, nonetheless let us make sure not to blunder a perpetual 25.Rg7+ (1:11) Kh8 (0:02) 26.Rxg6 (0:02) Nxa2+ (0:03) 27.Kd2 (0:27) Rb2+ (0:57) 28.Ke3 (0:02)
schachbjm(2329) whispers: why is this game still ongoing?
schachbjm(2329) whispers: I underestimated his defending ressources
schachbjm(2329) whispers: he will run out of checks here and then his weak king will most likely collapse, but it is far away from blitzing/premoving it out 28...Kh7 (2:42) 29.Rxe6 (0:18) R8b3+ (0:07) 30.Kd4 (0:25)
blore(1922) whispers: woof
schachbjm(2329) whispers: what I totally overlooked is that I do not have any discovery after Rxh5 since all his pieces will be on light squares ...
schachbjm(2329) whispers: seems like I am too overoptimistic today
blore(1922) whispers: Rxf2 is good for Michael?!!?
schachbjm(2329) whispers: Rxf2 Rxh5 Rxg2 Rxc6 is winning, but it is not a win on the spot
schachbjm(2329) whispers: all pieces on light squares :( :( so no discovery available
offtherook(2316) whispers: Rxf2 g4 and then there is a discovery if hxg Be3+
offtherook(2316) whispers: the c6 pawn is doomed so it's fine to delay that capture and instead keep white's g4 pawn on the board MichaelOgbeide lost connection; game adjourned *
