A new game anyone?

[Håkan Eriksson]

10. Rb1 h6
11. Be3 Rd8
12. Nd5 Qa5
13. Qc2 Bg4
14. Bd2 Nb4
15. Nxe7+ Kh7
16. Nd5 Nfxd5
17. cxd5 f5
18. Rbd1 Qxa2
19. Qxc5 fxe4

Yeah...

10. Rb1 h6
11. Be3 Rd8
12. Nd5 Qa5
13. Qc2 Bg4
14. Bd2 Nb4

19. Qxc5 fxe4
20. Ng5+

If 20...hxg5 then I'll play 21. Bxg4. And furthermore, if 21...Nd3 I'll play Qe7.

18. Rbd1 Qxa2
19. Qxc5 fxe4
20. Ng5+ hxg5
21. Bxg4 Nd3
22. Qe7 Qxb2

If you know exactly how I'm going to play why don't you play both sides and I won't do anything ;-) (you could predict my last move too, right?)



Btw. if you do 23. Qb4 then my move is Nxb4....

 

[Panzar75]

Well, your moves 20 and 21 wasn't so hard to predict. I mean what else could you have done, really?

20. Ng5+ hxg5
21. Bxg4 Nd3
22. Qe7 Qxb2
23. Qxe4

Sorry to disappoint you but I didn't take you up on your suggestion...

 

[Håkan Eriksson]

20. Ng5+ hxg5
21. Bxg4 Nd3
22. Qe7 Qxb2
23. Qxe4 Nc5

 

[Panzar75]

20. Ng5+ hxg5
21. Bxg4 Nd3
22. Qe7 Qxb2
23. Qxe4 Nc5
24. Qf3

You have two passed pawns to my one... but mine is further up the board and your King saftey is... how should I put it... nonexistent. Still... it's anybody's game.

 

[Håkan Eriksson]

20. Ng5+ hxg5
21. Bxg4 Nd3
22. Qe7 Qxb2
23. Qxe4 Nc5
24. Qf3 Qb3

Don't think I won't eliminate your Queen...

If your move is Qxb3 then mine is Nxb3

 

[Panzar75]

20. Ng5+ hxg5
21. Bxg4 Nd3
22. Qe7 Qxb2
23. Qxe4 Nc5
24. Qf3 Qb3
25. Bxg5

I see no point to the (Qxb3) capture, I would simply lose a tempo?

 

[Håkan Eriksson]

20. Ng5+ hxg5
21. Bxg4 Nd3
22. Qe7 Qxb2
23. Qxe4 Nc5
24. Qf3 Qb3
25. Bxg5 Qxf3

Perhaps. But don't you lose as much tempo now as you would have? Isn't it just the same?

If you play Bxf3 or gxf3 I'll play Rd7.

 

[Panzar75]

Well, you could be right. It depends on wether you want your Knight on c5 and my Bishop on f3 or b3 and g4 respectivly.

Since I decided on the first alternative, Qxb3 would've been a loss of tempo for me since I would've had to make one more move to get my Bishop to f3.

Now that I think about it, I'm not so sure it was the best decision...

20. Ng5+ hxg5
21. Bxg4 Nd3
22. Qe7 Qxb2
23. Qxe4 Nc5
24. Qf3 Qb3

Starting to wish you had a Bishop instead of that Knight?

22. Qe7 Qxb2
23. Qxe4 Nc5
24. Qf3 Qb3
25. Bxg5 Qxf3
26. Bxf3 Rd7
27. d6 Bf8
28. Rd5 Na4

How come I get the feeling I'm looseing...

20. Ng5+ hxg5
21. Bxg4 Nd3
22. Qe7 Qxb2
23. Qxe4 Nc5
24. Qf3 Qb3
25. Bxg5 Qxf3
26. Bxf3 Rd7
27. d6 Bf8
28. Rd5 Na4
29. Bf4

The Bishop pair is strong in this type of position, so I'm told.

30. Bg4 Rf7
31. Be3 Nc3

 

[Panzar75]

30. Bg4 Rf7
31. Be3 Nc3
32. Rd3

Seems to be the only sensible move.
