Login to get PGN standard 45+45, 2023-03-17
1.Nf3 (0:00) Nf6 (0:00)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: Opening prep wasn't really possible as alfreale hasn't played many games recently and when he did it was main 1.e4 although last game was 1.d4 with a 2 year gap
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: I'm surprised alfreale is taking 5min for the second move. Maybe he was hoping for 1...c5 to transpose to a Sicilian but in that case just playing 1.e4 is more sensible 2.b3 (8:35) g6 (1:56) 3.Bb2 (0:04) Bg7 (0:03) 4.e3 (0:04) O-O (1:03) 5.d4 (0:30)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: This feels bad for white as now I can play d5 and Bb2 is blunted 5...d5 (0:47)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: I can in theory play Bg4xf3 although I'm unsure if trading off the bad bishop is good in these lines as losing bishop pair is a demerit 6.c4 (2:05) c6 (0:32) 7.Nbd2 (0:10) Bf5 (0:17) 8.Be2 (3:27) Ne4 (0:25)
herrahuu(1836) whispers: hello
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: Maybe Ne4 was a bit premature
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: Since I didn't really consider 9.Nh4 lines although I think Bc8 might be OK as 10.Nxe4 pxe4 gives me e5 threat hitting Nh4 9.O-O (7:43) Re8 (0:15) 10.Rc1 (0:27) Nd7 (0:05)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: I can play for e5 but don't know if aming for e4 square is better 11.h3 (3:52)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: Now I think Nxd2 might be way to play with e5 to follow 11...Nxd2 (1:15)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: If 12.Nxd2 I think e5 is correct as it undefends e5 square. On the other hand I think Qxd2 means Nf6-e4 is better as I gain a tempi 12.Nxd2 (5:40)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: I'm quite tempted by 12....e5 but I suspect 13.pxd5 is the most awkward line. So perhaps I should play pxc4 first
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: Do I want to play into an isolated d pawn?
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: I'll trade off before e55 12...dxc4 (3:33)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: Just realised white has 13.e4 so maybe it was better to play e5 first 13.Nxc4 (1:49)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: c5 is interesting here as although maybe Nb6 getting rid of knights first is better 13...Nb6 (2:47) 14.Nd2 (3:29) Rc8 (1:17) 15.e4 (0:23) Be6 (0:04) 16.Nf3 (0:02) h6 (0:33) 17.Qc2 (0:11) Qd7 (0:25) 18.Ne5 (1:34) Qd8 (0:53) 19.f4 (3:46) Kh7 (4:07)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: f5 has to be the critical line for white 20.f5 (3:14) Bd7 (0:12)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: I missed Nxf7
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: Looks like I'll be two pawns down and facing an attack :( 21.Nxf7 (1:46) Qc7 (0:05) 22.fxg6+ (0:06) Kg8 (0:08) 23.d5 (1:59) Qg3 (0:41)
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: black should lose but I'll try to complicate things enough to swindle something 24.Bxg7 (1:01) Kxg7 (0:31)
lambertdw(1798) whispers: is black not in deep? 25.Qb2+ (1:30) Kxg6 (0:16)
herrahuu(1836) whispers: it seems so let's see how low white time goes
KRMCHESS(2125) whispers: I think both Ne5 and Rf3 win for white, although time trouble could give me a chance to save it 26.Qd2 (3:47) Qh4 (1:30) 27.Rf4 (2:19) Qg3 (0:25)
herrahuu(1836) whispers: Rg4+?
