{Mekk(1928) whispers: and again black... }Turamon(1634) whispers: so this is how the finals begin. go Piotr! go the eye! }Mekk(1928) whispers: Nd7/b4 would be comfortable but gave up pawn Mekk(1928) whispers: still, if I fall into trouble I would regret (giving up b7 for better bishop maybe made sense) }Vishyy(1962) whispers: Go Kliszek! Go! Mekk(1928) whispers: Not sure whether I fear more that my opp lost connection, or that he invents some plan to mate me... If I were him, I would probably Bg5 to go for better ending }Turamon(1634) whispers: go the eye! what a strong band of brothers! and a sister too :D Mekk(1928) whispers: 3s after whisper ;-) }Mekk(1928) whispers: I must admit I didn't expect Ng5, feared Ne5 more }Mekk(1928) whispers: should I fear Bg5 now... }Turamon(1634) whispers: Bg5 with follow up Ne5 looks good to me Vishyy(1962) whispers: we will see how Kliszek gets over with time preassure and clock problems Turamon(1634) whispers: oh, Piotr is doing well with time pressure. I saw him in games ... he's a master of time! }Mekk(1928) whispers: Hmm, Nf4 tempting Mekk(1928) whispers: Or Qg2 hmm Mekk(1928) whispers: oh no Mekk(1928) whispers: he has Ne5 afterwards }Mekk(1928) whispers: this diagonal is tempting }Mekk(1928) whispers: e6 is weak, d4 too. I can put Bto d4 and be fairly safe. but is there more? Mekk(1928) whispers: This N will be PITA if it stays Turamon(1634) whispers: Nxc6 bxc6 Bxa6 would have won white a pawn, right? }offtherook(2328) whispers: bishop pair gg }Mekk(1928) whispers: I was sure he is to Bc3. This may give me more opts Mekk(1928) whispers: but my K has little squares }Mekk(1928) whispers: I can stay (except possible BxB when ending B vs N may give some headaches) Mekk(1928) whispers: But no realistic active opts Mekk(1928) whispers: a5 locks me a bit, so maybe b5 }Mekk(1928) whispers: he could earlier Bf8 to force h5. Not sure outcome but would limit me there Mekk(1928) whispers: if bf3 then bxb and g4. He can consider h3 }Mekk(1928) whispers: considering h5 (planned Ne7 and Kc6 rather poor, Nb4 possible but not special) }Mekk(1928) whispers: this was rather forced, Be3 would be tough }Mekk(1928) whispers: now probably I have to K to k-side }Mekk(1928) whispers: kf8 is pin, not a good idea }Mekk(1928) whispers: bg2 and he must lock h4, hmm }Mekk(1928) whispers: and now maybe Nd5, hmmmm Mekk(1928) whispers: Nd5 Kf2 Nxf4 Bf8 Mekk(1928) whispers: this is sharp. Staying is draw, he has no way to enter after h4 }LJMon(1848) whispers: going for it LJMon(1848) whispers: wise maybe Mekk(1928) whispers: (it is partially because we have clocks which we have) }LJMon(1848) whispers: naw Bf7 Mekk(1928) whispers: this is unexpected. Mekk(1928) whispers: I must swap, cant give up b7 }Mekk(1928) whispers: but now looks like pawn, at least temporarily Mekk(1928) whispers: Kg3 Nx Bf8 Nf7. So he rather Bd6 and later attacks my h pawn }LJMon(1848) whispers: white done Mekk(1928) whispers: but now N to g6, K to d5... Looks promising }Mekk(1928) whispers: That I have check now is crucial }LJMon(1848) whispers: WK out of it }Mekk(1928) whispers: takes with check, so no Bf8 after... }

mekk (2021-03-31): 47. Bf3 lost. I expected Bf8 (and hesitated between exch and Bc6 with possible Nd3 afterwards) but Be3 is stronger, forcing immediate exchanges and taking h6 (unless f4 works what is not very likely).
mekk (2021-03-31): … and earlier on white could mayhaps 43.Kg3, then Kh4, checking me only if I Kf7 (and keeping an option of BxN if white king is close to h6). This could put me into deep trouble.
