I don't play Bc4 as white or e5 as black so I have no idea what's going on in Narz's game.

I also have no idea what's going on in this game I played a few hours ago. I'm white in a Swedish division 3 game (2+1 hours per game and player). My opponent is rated 1757.

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 {I have started playing the King's Indian Atack against the French since I don't particularely like Bb4 here.

The threat is fxg3 fxg3 Rf3 and Re3 now lose to Rxe3 Qxe3 and d4. It seems like I'm already lost since I couldn't find a way to defend g3 in the long run.} 29. Ne2 fxg3 30. fxg3 Rf3 31.

He had like 7 minutes left after his last move. I had expected Re3 but it's still quite hopeless.} 41. Rxd4 Rf1+ {I was very surprised to see this move, he underestimates my counterplay. After Rf8 there is very little hope.} 42. Kb2 g3 {He had like an hour on his clock, I guess he felt he had it won already as he played g3 pretty quickly.} 43. Re8+ Ka7 44. Rdd8 b5 45.

There is no defence against Rb7 and Ra8. I had expected 45... c6 where I have at least a perpetual check with Rec8 and Ra8/b8. I might have more with 46. Ra8+ Kb7 47. Reb8+ Kc7 48. Rb6 but it's probably a draw anyway and I would probably have gone for the perpetual. Still, I am not sure exactly why I got such a miserable position. I didn't think I played that horribly. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than to be good, to paraphrase a famous civer.

This player is much higher-rated than I, for one thing, and not provisional. Also, I liked the way I played a lot. I don't think there were any glaring errors, but we'll see. I felt really happy with how my attack built very slowly yet somewhat forcingly. I didn't work out every variation at the time, but I felt checkmate ten or fifteen moves before it happened and I suspect it could have been forced most variants, perhaps quicker than I did it.
 
Yeah, nice game punkbass, I didn't analyze it extensively (I don't even really analyze my own games extensively which is probably why I'm at a bit of a plateau) but I liked your development and steady attack. Your opponent throughly weakened himself with all that pawn pushing while you calmly (well maybe not calmly but I imagine it in that state of mind) continue putting on the pressure. I liked how you were able to shift your rook & queen battery one file over at the end there. Nicely done! :thumbsup:

Well, it depends on how big the errors have to be to be glaring and whether we count the black moves. :) (Also, you din't mention the times. What is a big error in a 3 hour game might be understandable in a 1 minute game...)

You missed a move somewhere in the game winning material immediately. It's not hard to see and it's probably more educational if you find it on your own.

I believe 4... b5 is the theory for black, holding the pawn for now. e6 looks like it blocks his light squared Bishop in, I don't like that move. And I thought the whole point of 5... b5 was to take the pawn with 6... Qxd4. He really need to take that pawn even if white gets plenty of development for it.

6... Bb4 also looks suspicious as there can be no doubling of white's pawns as in the Nimzo-Indian opening. I'm starting to feel sorry for the other guy but I will also question 7... Qa5 as I can see no purpose with this move at all.

9... Qd8, black is wasting moves while white develops. I wonder how this game will end... On the other hand, white was threatning to play a4 which might still be good after the Queen has moved.

And again, the white d4 pawn looks en prise on move 20. Perhaps he thought you'd put poison in it? He finally did take the pawn on move 22 but then he had left a pawn on his own on f4 so didn't actually win a pawn.

Instead of Be2-f3 it looks safer and faster to play Bf1.

35. Be3 looks natural. Bd2-c3 lost a pawn for no apparent reason.

I didn't work out every variation at the time, but I felt checkmate ten or fifteen moves before it happened and I suspect it could have been forced most variants, perhaps quicker than I did it.

In fact, after 38. Qd1 the game is probably even. The a-pawn is dangerous and Re8, Bc8 will activate the once miserable Bishop. And don't foget, black is after all a pawn up. But black played very badly and in particular, 42... Rg7?? really deserve more question marks.

As for you, not so bad. I would mainly point to three moves where you could have done better: 20. Nd2 (allowing Bxd4), 36. Bc3 (allowing Nxa3) and the mysterious missed win of material somewhere.

And the answer is of course 32. f4 forking Queen and Knight.

How's this for resigning an even position? Ugh. Can't believe I did that.

http://queenalice.com/game.php?id=182258
 
I wouldn't call the position even. Still, I can't believe you resigned either.

I saw: 18. Qxc4 19. Be7 Re8 20. Rd8 Be6 looking very promising for white.
The computer saw further of course: 21. Rxa8 Rxa8 22. Qd6 which is a very nasty double threat.

White is simply threatning to take the pawn on e5 and the black Bishop on e6 is only guarded by the Queen that can be chased away with Nd2. So black must play Bf7 or Nf4 to save the Bishop and white then wins a very important pawn. 22... Bf7 23. Nxe5 Bxe5 (neccessary for tactical reasons) 24. Qxe5

Comparing pieces and pawn structure I think we can say that white with a pawn extra is close to winning. But it's probably not quite resignable yet. If nothing else, black can hope for exchanges and an endgame with a Bishop of opposite colours.
 
This one was fun. :D

Looks like f3 was the key mistake in that last game of yours. The computer suggest Qf3 with +0.00 but I'm not sure I like white's position that much. This is why I play 3. Bb5...

I haven't played any chess recently but I guess I can share an older game. I picked this one from my club's championship 2004 and I lost as black against a 2292 rated player.

I misplayed the opening but felt I had some small chances during the middle game. What I completely missed was his move 25. Nd1 protecting all of my somewhat dangerous threats. Then again, had he not seen that move many moves back I doubt he would have allowed me those threats in the first place.
 
Panzar, what computer program do you use for analysis?

I was considering buying Fritz buy I've heard the new versions are not much improvement over the old. If you use Fritz, which version do you have?

35 moves against a master is pretty good, I'll have to check it out later. :)
 
As I wrote in the "Chessmaster vs. Fritz" thread here I have both chessmaster 9000 and Fritz 8. And as I also wrote there, I mostly use the Chessmaster's "Mentor Lines" function for swift analysis. I have tried newer versions of CM but like the 9000 version better interface-wise.

As for the 35 moves, it's not like I had much of a chance during the last ones. While I was only slightly worse at move 25 I had completely missed his Knight move and didn't manage to find a decent plan after that. I made some rather weak moves in the end but over all I am proud of getting a playable position at all after the horrible opening problems I got myself into.

Comments? Better moves?
 
Nd4 might have been more dynamic - If your intention was to take on e6 no matter what, it doesn't really matter much. But d4 gives the Knight more options so I would have preferred that square.
h6 seems too passive - It seems fine to me. I can't find an obvious piece move so why not take time to improve the pawn structure?
I think this indisputably wins a pawn (feel free to dispute me though) - You did win a pawn, I see no need to dispute it. But I did take a look anyway and you do indeed win a pawn in every line.
Not sure these last two pawn moves were the best - Both moves are computer approved.
I'm thinking now that Bd5 would have been better but at the time I felt like getting tricky - Bd5 Re1+ Kb2 Kc7 perhaps... better than Rc2 in any case. Kd1 looks decent.
I should have just left the knight there, shouldn't I? - Yes. Push your pawns or something.
Kd2 would have been better, no? - No. the computer say they're equally good/bad. Try Re4 or possibly Rg4. Or better still, Re4 on the previous move.
Lost a pawn, the game is even again - Yes. 35. Kd2 was a bad move. Instead of chasing his Rook from a square where it does nothing and will move from anyway without you chasing it, you should have tried to make your own Rook active with Rg4 for example.
The final blunder, under time pressure my game fell apart, I should get to studying rook & pawn endgames - Yeah, good job with playing half the game on 3 minutes. You were at least close to the draw. The win takes a lot of work against those kinds of ratings even with the extra pawn.
 
I'm going through old games transferring them from paper to .pgn, so I'll share a few of them I guess. This one is from my club's championship 2004 against a 2069 rated player. (Which is low, he's usually rated higher and is around 2150 today.) I'm white and the time is 1 hour 15 minutes for 30 moves and then 1 hour per player and game.

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nge7 4. O-O Ng6 5. c3 d6 6. d4 Bd7 7. Re1 Be7 8. Na3 O-O 9. Bf1 Bf6 10. d5 Nb8 11. Nc2 Nh4 12. Ne3 a5 13. a4 Na6 14. Nd2 Nc5 15. Qc2 Bg5 16. g3 Ng6 17. Ndc4 Ne7 18.

I didn't play great but held my own for a while. Made the one mistake at move 18 that I never really recovered from. And I missed that his final move wins a piece since Ng2 loses the Bishop.
 
lol does anyone actually re-create this?

If you mean does anyone play through the games then yes. And since I like it I also try to share some of my own games for others that feel the same way. If you do not like to play through games that's fine, just don't do it.

Here's my last div. 3 game played this Sunday. I was white against a 1938 rated guy. 2 hours for 40 moves and 1 hour for the rest of the moves. I think I was tired from the extremely long trip (570 km round trip) as I didn't play that well.

Spoiler :
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 e6 4. Bxc6 bxc6 5. d3 Ne7 6. Nc3 d5 7. O-O Ng6 8. b3 Be7

Here I seem to have blacked out. I thought if Ba3 he plays Qa5 and I will have to retreat with Bb2 since he is threatning both pieces. I simply missed that Na4 blocks the attack on my Bishop. After Qe1 he can no longer protect his c5 pawn. It looks like I could perhaps have won a pawn here.

9. Bb2 O-O 10. Qd2 Ba6 11. Rfd1

Might look strange but I was convinced he was going to play c4 and I wanted the Rook off the diagonal. I was under the impression his next move was bad.

11...d4 12. Ne2 Qc7 13. Ng3 Rad8

I decided I didn't like c3 because of the potential pressure on d3.

14. Re1 Bd6 15. Qd1 Ne5 16. Nxe5 Bxe5 17. Bc1 Rde8 18. Rf1 Bc8 19. Bd2 Bd6 20. f4 f5 21. e5

Part of my decision to play e5 was that I thought his white squared Bishop would be restricted. I missed that there was a way for him to get it in play again.

21...Be7 22. Qe2 Kh8

I decided I needed to play g3 and sort of regretted the Queen move that blocked the e2 square.

23. Nh1 Rg8 24. g3 Bb7

After this move I saw that his Bishop would be in play after all.

25. h4 Rb8 26. Nf2 c4 27. bxc4 c5 28. Nd1 Qc6 29. Qh2 Qa4 30. Be1 Bc6

I couldn't quite see what to do anymore. I envisioned some sort of Rf2, c3, Bxc3 and Rb2 to combat his doubled Rooks but it didn't seem to work out.

31. Rf2 Rgd8 32. Rd2 Qa3

Okay, so the game is likely lost. I see no real hope for me anymore. Time for desperate attacks to get anything going at all.

33. h5 Rb7 34. g4 Rdb8 35. Bh4 Bxh4 36. Qxh4 Qa5 37. Re2 Rb1 38. Rxb1 Rxb1

So... I've struggled in this game for the better part of it. I am in some sort of desperate attempt to get perpetual checks. I still have well above 20 minutes left on my clock. I really should have been able to find the best move here.

I briefly looked at Qe7 but I guess one has a hard time letting a piece go with check. It turns out to be an easy perpetual check and perhaps even some winning chances at that. If black takes the Knight with check white will win with the g and h pawns and the Queen. Black cannot either attack or defend in time. An easy perpetual check line is 39...Rb8 40. h6 Rg8 41. hxg7+ Rxg7 42. Qf8+ Rg8 43. Qf6+ but there are even some winning chances in there.

39. Re1 fxg4 40. Rf1 h6 41. Ne3 Rb2 42. Nxg4 Rxc2 43. Nf2 Rxa2 44. f5 exf5 45. Qe7

I had missed black's next move. It turns out it is the only one that gives him any advantage at all. Fortunately for him it's completely crushing. Since it is a team game I played a few more moves but it is of course completely over.

45...Rxf2 46. Rb1 Qd2 47. Qf8+ Kh7 48. e6 Rg2+ 49. Kh1 Rh2+ {white resigns} 0-1

He missed the mate with Rg3 (or any other square on the g-file) but with mate next move I resigned.

I joined Chess.com the other day. This was my first game on there, not much of a masterpiece but somewhat fun to be able to dominate like this once in awhile. :D Probably how a grandmaster would feel playing the likes of me.

That's why you don't play f6 that often in the opening.

For the first time since I joined my current chess club (in 2003) we had sufficiently poor attendance in our first team that I got a chance to play with them in division 1 (I usually play in our second team in div. 3). I faced a 2002 rated player at board 7. I'm currently rated 1629 and is white in this game.

Strangely we both missed that I could play 13. Nxe5 winning a pawn. I did get to play it the move after though. At move 34 I couldn't see how to avoid Knight check and loss of the Knight on g3 so I went for the exchange sacriface. Now I cannot explain how I could miss that Qc1 or even possibly Qd4 works because of his back rank problem. After losing the exchange there was nothing I could do to get back in the game unfortunately. Obviously 37. Nd6 is nothing because of Rf4. Still, I had my chances and should probably have won if I hadn't panicked on move 34.
