smallblackcat(2053) whispers: cos now c5

Twikki(2135) whispers: maybe pb will play the q sac line

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: I assume pb was expecting/hoping for e5

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: why do this if you play the saemisch, I don't get it?}
8.Nd5 {(0:39)

Twikki(2135) whispers: it's the mix and match approach to openings :P

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: maybe I am too dogmatic about such things ;)

Twikki(2135) whispers: this shouldn't lead to an advantage for white}
8...Nc6 {(5:19)

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: well I don't like Nc6 either, so I guess that's 1-1 ;)}

Zupa(2052) whispers: on move 44 white had simple Rc2+ with winning Nb5, this would make the game much easier I think}
50.Rd2 {(1:48)

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: c6 now?

Zupa(2052) whispers: now it looks like c6 maybe a good try to draw

Zupa(2052) whispers: ok sbc (abbrevation of your handle) what next after c6 can white still fight for a win?}
50...c6 {(1:35)

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: Rd5 maybe, win g5?

Zupa(2052) whispers: he can wait, Rd1 but what if black also is waiting?

Zupa(2052) whispers: Rd1,Rg7 and then?

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: I was thinking dxc6 Kxc6 Rd5 Rxe6 Rxg5}
51.dxc6+ {(1:18)} Kxc6 {(0:04)

Zupa(2052) whispers: then something I looked at earlier which is - dc6+,Kxc6 and Rd7! of course pawn endgame is winning for white}
52.Rd5 {(0:34)

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: desperado g4 is possible here too

Zupa(2052) whispers: this also looks like a win

Zupa(2052) whispers: no g4 cannot be good

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: yes I think the black pawns are too weak, and white's king can come across to help

Zupa(2052) whispers: ok I have to go now, cu

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: bye

Myob(1672) whispers: smallblackcat can also be abbreviated to smablat !BCS->(cat)

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: that is not much of an abbreviation

Myob(1672) whispers: :(

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: well, I mean its not that short

Myob(1672) whispers: was a good beginner's attempt I thought

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: haha

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: the only hope here is to try to get a drawn position of f- and h-pawns only}
54...Kd7 {(0:06)} 55.Rg4 {(0:08)

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: I think even there the white rook is too well-placed to draw}

58.f4 {(0:51)} Kf5 {(0:04)

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: yeah this looks like a draw

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: there's the immediate idea of Rf3 just trading down to a drawn pawn ending}
59.Kd4 {(1:13)} Rf3 {(0:09)

smallblackcat(2053) whispers: well saved, pb}
60.Rh8 {(1:42)} Kxf4 {(1:20)

zupa (2012-05-13): 43....Nxb5 is ?? and Bxb5 is also ??. Simple Rc2+ wins a knight for two pawns and should easily win a game.
