  1. gavalanche20 (11...O-O) Sorry buffer. Stupid keyboard
  2. gavalanche20 (11...O-O) Just going to centralize rooks and go from there
  3. GiveMeKite they really did their homework, this is probably my most played line of the scandi
  4. bufferunderrun :monkarage:
  5. GiveMeKite (12) Looking at either Re8 or Qb6
  6. gavalanche20 (12.Rad1) Did some clicking through of my book last night, general ideas are to expand in the center, ideally stuff like c4-d5
  7. gavalanche20 (12.Rad1) To break open the position for the bishop pair
  8. gavalanche20 (12.Rad1) Even some ideas of trading off Nc3 to allow the c-pawn to move
  9. GiveMeKite Re8 is the more flexible move, I might want to go Qa5 or b6 later, I'll make the rook move now and worry about Q later
  10. gavalanche20 (12...Re8) All the while being careful not to allow Black to open the position favorable
  11. gavalanche20 (12...Re8) I remember Bc1 being a move but not in this exact line. It looks kinda good though
  12. gavalanche20 (12...Re8) I might be trolling, Bc1 doesn't stop e5
  13. Qudit Go gav!
  14. gavalanche20 (12...Re8) Maybe Ne4 is the move instead, trying to get my awkward knight off the board
  15. GiveMeKite I chose a solid opening, hoping to speed through the middle game and get to a favorable endgame
  16. gavalanche20 (13...Nxe4) Honestly I hadn't decided which way I wanted to retake
  17. GiveMeKite Q takes has a mate threat, I'm probably going to go g6.
  18. gavalanche20 (14.Qxe4) Nf6 Qh4
  19. gavalanche20 (14.Qxe4) Hey Q
  20. GiveMeKite Goal is to trade DSBs and then have a good knight against a bad LSB
  21. gavalanche20 (14.Qxe4) f5 looks scary but I don't think it's a thing is it
  22. gavalanche20 (14...g6) h4 and c3 look good
  23. GiveMeKite I'm feeling very comfortable, pretty sure I've had this position quite a few times
  24. gavalanche20 (15.c3) As Danya said in his last video, when trying to start an attack, make the least comittal move first
  25. gavalanche20 (15.c3) Hey mund, Wickid, Lance
  26. mynameismund hi
  27. Qudit Hey mund
  28. GiveMeKite (15) I like my piece placement, flexible, no threats, looking at Qa5 but then if 16. a3 my queen looks a little silly there
  29. mynameismund Hey Qudit :)
  30. GiveMeKite But moving my queen there does allow me to do Nf6 without worrying about a pin anymore. Gonna think for a bit, I have 48 minutes
  31. gavalanche20 (15.c3) Tea really hitting the spot rn which is nice
  32. gavalanche20 (15.c3) Tetley green honey ginseng or something like that I think
  33. gavalanche20 (15.c3) It's what I was drinking every Thursday night on my last OTB sectional
  34. bufferunderrun nice
  35. GiveMeKite Another consideration - I have a rook doing nothing over there, But I kinda want it on d8
  36. Qudit I guess white is slightly better due to the bishop pair but black seems fine
  37. gavalanche20 (15.c3) If Nf6 now I think I drop back to f3, with possible h4-Bh5 ideas
  38. mynameismund Tea is amazing.
  39. Qudit I like it too
  40. Qudit But if I drank it in the evening I'd be up all night
  41. gavalanche20 (15.c3) Ah maybe the trick is to meet most attempts at a central break with d5
  42. gavalanche20 (15.c3) At least that should hold true while the queen holds the long diag
  43. gavalanche20 (15.c3) Somewhat apropos I am facing GiveMeKite this week, today's been a bit on the breezier side
  44. Qudit I would think white should pay for c4 and the d5 break
  45. Qudit *play
  46. GiveMeKite Getting my knight to f6 with tempo is interesting, because then I can swing to d5 and go for the piece trade. I don't mind DSB v LSB here
  47. gavalanche20 (15.c3) I feel like this is going to be not the easiest position to try and break down barring soem disaster down the center
  48. GiveMeKite I wouldn't like them to retreat the bishop though if I did that. Bc8 and they are defending a weakness and avoiding the trade
  49. gavalanche20 (15.c3) Hey b_elyay
  50. GiveMeKite Depending on where the queen goes, they could have Bg5 too. No big deal - then I can move my queen out to a5 and hit the a pawn
  51. GiveMeKite Convinced that it wouldnt be a big deal if that bishop lands on g5, but I'd rather they just trade me
  52. GiveMeKite I think I'll delay the queen move, and if they want to push my queen away to free that square up for my rook so be it
  53. GiveMeKite They actually only have h4 to defend the g4 square for that bishop move anyway. In that case I would retreat my bishop to d7, then move Q
  54. GiveMeKite no I wouldn't, I'd keep that tension and still do Nd5
  55. GiveMeKite Just going to play it slow, go for the piece trade, nto commit my queen anywhere yet
  56. gavalanche20 (15...Nf6) I was about to play Qf3 but I'm curious what my reaction should be if Nd5 trying to chase the bishop pair
  57. gavalanche20 (15...Nf6) Maybe just Bc1 and congratulate Black on winning a tempo
  58. GiveMeKite well that was my fear
  59. GiveMeKite Qf6 will offer a queen trade, I see absolutely nothing wrong with it, plus I'd like the queen's off. Keep it slow and positional
  60. gavalanche20 (17.Bc1) HI Rcyx
  61. GiveMeKite My two candidates are Qf6 or a5. I do want to expand on the queenside eventually
  62. gavalanche20 (17.Bc1) Maybe c4 anyways not being afraid to lose a tempo after ...Nb4
  63. GiveMeKite I also need to consider what happens if c4
  64. GiveMeKite Well I only need to think about that because my knight would be pushed away, if Qf6 and Qxf6 then Nxf6 and I'm not as worried,c6/e6 solid
  65. gavalanche20 (17...Qf6) Qg4 is my idea but does it run into h5
  66. gavalanche20 (18.Qe4) Nf4 Bf1 and I should kick the knight away eventually
  67. GiveMeKite unexpected, I have some thinking to do. My gut says Qf5 to pursue a queen trade, we'll see
  68. MrScribbles Gooooooooooooo gav!
  69. gavalanche20 (18.Qe4) It's possible Black goes Bf4 instead though
  70. gavalanche20 (18.Qe4) Hey Scribs
  71. MrScribbles hey scrav
  72. GiveMeKite putting my queen on f5 is a no go, because 18 ... Qf5 19. Qh4 Qf6 20. Bg5 and I lose important territory
  73. gavalanche20 (18.Qe4) Yeh I can't exactly say I'm doing a good job of grasping this position
  74. GiveMeKite going to pause the queen trade, go back to piece trade. Bf4 will force that trade, and then I can play my knight vs bishop game
  75. GiveMeKite Yeah that bishop can't flee anywhere, so he'll get a free move and can force me to trade on his terms, but that bishop WILL be gone
  76. GiveMeKite If he trades now, I'm taking with the queen to continue trying to trade queens. If not, I'll reevaluate and take on c1 if it is safe
  77. GiveMeKite Looking at 19. Bxf4 Qxf4 20. Qd2 (only way to avoid the trade), then I might do Qc7 or a5 or b5
  78. GiveMeKite Eventually I need to transfer the game to the queenside and push
  79. gavalanche20 (18...Bf4) First thought is c4 Bc1 Rc1, Nf4 Bf1 preparing g3-Bg2, Nb4 Bb1 and maybe Qb3 to kick the knight and support d5
  80. gavalanche20 (18...Bf4) Oh heh I'm misvisualizing my queen ont he wrong rank
  81. GiveMeKite Pretty sure I take on c1, they take, I do c takes, I might be up a piece?
  82. GiveMeKite Or I take the bishop, they take, and I just move my knight
  83. sidetracked_owl Go Gav!!
  84. GiveMeKite I think c4 might have been early here, but gonna double check my lines
  85. GiveMeKite important to note - I need to take with the c pawn, taking with the e pawn could leave me with Q v 2R+B
  86. gavalanche20 (19...Bxc1) Actually I'm curious if maybe cd5 might be a thing
  87. gavalanche20 (19...Bxc1) No that's a bit stupid after just cd5
  88. GiveMeKite Alright team, I have achieved my long term goal of NvB. Now to actually work this out
  89. GiveMeKite I do NOT want to trade my knight for that bishop. I think that is a bad bishop, I want to keep it on the board
  90. gavalanche20 (20.Rxc1) This might come back to bite me as I have a weakish d4 pawn on a half-open file
  91. GiveMeKite Nc7 vs Ne7 is what I'm looking at
  92. GiveMeKite Ne7, If I ever get a5 and b5 in, it would protect c6 already.
  93. GiveMeKite Nc6, the knight is already on the queenside, which is the future of the game
  94. GiveMeKite I have time for Rad8 I believe, putting pressure on d4. Possibly winning a pawn. This pressure could cause gav to push d5 at a bad time
  95. Chewbacca_Defense Go Gav!
  96. GiveMeKite maybe Red8, gotta think more about that one
  97. gavalanche20 (20...Ne7) Hey Chewy
  98. GiveMeKite I'm leaning towards Red8, if they push d5 and things open, I want to be able to have rooks on the d file and the b or c file
  99. gavalanche20 (20...Ne7) Maybe it's my turn to trade queens, idea Qe5 de5 is favorable and then I can proceed with Be4 and b4-b5
  100. GiveMeKite hmmm I kinda want to trade queens so I'm surprised to see this
  101. GiveMeKite I think I have to take. I don't think I want to allow them Qc7
  102. Qudit Qxe5 dxe5 Red8 Rcd1 I suppose
  103. GiveMeKite with the queens off the board, pressure down the e file is gone completely (well, minus that rook)
  104. GiveMeKite That really justifies Red8 over Rad8
  105. gavalanche20 (22.dxe5) Of course Rd8 I probably should play Rfd1 first
  106. Qudit I guess it's close to equal
  107. GiveMeKite going to double up, even if B moves I can take with check, but will probably just do Rad8 next no matter what
  108. GiveMeKite gave kinda needs to move that bishop or it's over I think
  109. gavalanche20 (24...Rad8) Re4 Bf3 looks okay
  110. GiveMeKite this is my file, I refuse to surrender it. Rad8
  111. GiveMeKite NOOO I should have gone Re4, that was so stupid
  112. GiveMeKite I was winning a pawn with Re4, I moved way too fast, oh my goodness
  113. Qudit 24...Re4 Bf3 Rxe5 Rd7 seems ok for white
  114. bufferunderrun yeah
  115. gavalanche20 (24...Rad8) Bf3 or b3 come to mind, I think Rd2 is not to be feared because Black can't take anything on the second rank
  116. GiveMeKite I played such a good game to miss a chance, definitely a morale hit but things are still looking good
  117. gavalanche20 (24...Rad8) b3 is the more solid move preparing to trade everything next turn without hanging c4
  118. Qudit I prefer black now I think but it's probably not too bad for white
  119. gavalanche20 (24...Rad8) Oh but Black might want c5 next move
  120. UN1137 Go GiveMeKite!
  121. GiveMeKite alright, I control the d file, weaknesses under control, so I need to either improve my king, knight, or trade down.
  122. GiveMeKite Kg7 v Nc8
  123. gavalanche20 (25.Bf3) Hey owl
  124. bufferunderrun could be somewhat risky to trade both rooks for white, i.e. g5 and Ng6
  125. gavalanche20 (25.Bf3) I've gone a bit quiet haha
  126. GiveMeKite Even Nf5 -> Nh4 could be good. I would like to take the bishop if it ruins the pawn structure.
  127. gavalanche20 (25.Bf3) Nf5 might be an interesting plan if Black really wants to force the issue on teh d-file, idea Nh4 to kick the bishop
  128. GiveMeKite Actually I like that idea a lot, if g4 then some interesting stuff happens after Nh4
  129. gavalanche20 (25.Bf3) g3 is hopefully sufficient there
  130. gavalanche20 (25.Bf3) Barring that maybe I just start marching the king to e3?
  131. gavalanche20 (25.Bf3) And then once the rook tension subsides (and maybe even before not sure yet) I can think of throwing b4-b5 to soften the diagona
  132. GiveMeKite getting my knight to d5, cementing pawns on b6/a5/c5 looks good
  133. gavalanche20 (26.g3) This was pretty much forced I think without breaking the d-file tension unfavorable
  134. gavalanche20 (26.g3) *unfavorably
  135. gavalanche20 (26.g3) I didn't realize until now but also releveant is Nf5 keeps a king away from e3
  136. GiveMeKite Thinking Kf1, probably going to put the king on the queenside
  137. gavalanche20 (26.g3) Okay so maybe b4-b5 is the way then
  138. gavalanche20 (26...Kf8) Altrnative plan is Kf1-e2 then g4 intending Nh4 Bh1 and then Ke3
  139. gavalanche20 (27.Kf1) We stick to solid plan for now, centralizing the king is basically never bad in an endgame
  140. gavalanche20 (27.Kf1) (Except in a king-pawn endgame where you're running away from the box or something)
  141. gavalanche20 (28.Ke2) Now I am ready for g4 if I want
  142. GiveMeKite I don't think this works but I'm ready to get rid of a rook
  143. gavalanche20 (29...Nd4+) Nd4 isn't an issue is it
  144. gavalanche20 (29...Nd4+) I guess I'm forced into a repetition if Ke3 Nf5
  145. GiveMeKite yeah I shouldn't have destroyed all my tools there
  146. bufferunderrun unless one has Ke4 on Nf5
  147. gavalanche20 (33.Bg2) I think I'm happy to see Nd4 because I needed to move my bishop anyway
  148. gavalanche20 (36.g4) Ok my big idea is the knight only has c6 and I think Nc6 i chop and run to the kingside
  149. bufferunderrun 35.c5 seemed interesting
  150. Qudit Yeah
  151. gavalanche20 (36.g4) Maybe Be4 first so that Ke3 doesn't allow Nc2
  152. Ivory12 (36...Nc6) go gav!
  153. gavalanche20 (36...Nc6) Is this anything?
  154. gavalanche20 (38.Ke4) Time to find out
  155. gavalanche20 (38...b5) Hey Ivo
  156. gavalanche20 (38...b5) From what I'm seeing I lose the race if bc4
  157. gavalanche20 (38...b5) b3 I mean
  158. bufferunderrun probably if cxb, I think it's fine after b3
  159. GiveMeKite my plan is to try to run my king up the queenside, I don't think gav can make any progress on the kingside
  160. bufferunderrun but maybe just Kd3 here
  161. gavalanche20 (38...b5) b3 bc4 bc4 Kb6 if I walk the king over I lose the race so I need to attack the kingside
  162. bufferunderrun actually, no, not fine after b3, there is Kd5 there covering e6
  163. gavalanche20 (38...b5) Otherwise I have to go Kd3
  164. bufferunderrun might still be fine, but can't go after f7 and would have to go back to b2
  165. gavalanche20 (38...b5) b3 bc4 bc4 Kb6 Kf4 Ka5 Kf6 Kb4 Kf7 Kc4 Ke6...
  166. gavalanche20 (38...b5) I think we both queen in that line after which it's super unclear
  167. GiveMeKite I think gave probably needs to take and get his king over here so I can't run up, take pawns, and push mine to victory
  168. GiveMeKite I can lock down the kingside no matter what. Like if the f2 pawn were on f5, it wouldn't make a difference
  169. gavalanche20 (38...b5) But if Kd3 instead maybe I can just park in front of the pawn and try to hold the opposition
  170. gavalanche20 (38...b5) Yeah I should have more waiting moves because I have g5 at some point to fix th ebackward pawns
  171. bufferunderrun or maybe cxb works, hmm... I can't calculate properly
  172. gavalanche20 (39.Kd3) Endgames man
  173. Qudit This looks drawish
  174. Qudit Hmm....
  175. gavalanche20 (39...a5) b3 or g5?
  176. bufferunderrun just g5 and call it a day
  177. Qudit Probably the simplest
  178. bufferunderrun b3 should be fine as well, I guess
  179. gavalanche20 (40.b3) If I can close the queenside then I should win a race to the kingside
  180. GiveMeKite That might be a mistake
  181. gavalanche20 (41...Kb6) I'm not sure I understand Kb6, I thought Black can never break through there?
  182. GiveMeKite nvm, I had it in my head that gav would take on a4 when I push a4, but he can choose to just not react
  183. bufferunderrun rematch... hmm
  184. GiveMeKite my mouse double clicks lol
  185. gavalanche20 haha no worries
  186. GiveMeKite Yeah that was a simple draw, OI should have just offered a draw lol
  187. GiveMeKite ok well imma go to sleep and try to forget this
  188. gavalanche20 Oh wow even after Kf4 it was still drawn?
  189. GiveMeKite yeah
  190. gavalanche20 Wow h6
  191. GiveMeKite there's no way the king ever gets in
  192. GiveMeKite like even if your pawn is on f5, doesn't matter, not breaks at all
  193. GiveMeKite that's why I did Kb6, but then I realized you dont have to take on a4, so it was a dead draw
  194. GiveMeKite man what a sad ending
  195. gavalanche20 I didn't realize just h6, I only calculated you trying to bring the king as well
  196. GiveMeKite Nah I had h6 planned the whole time.... and then moved way way way too fast
  197. GiveMeKite gg
  198. gavalanche20 oh well
  199. Chewbacca_Defense gg
  200. gavalanche20 Btw if anyone saved chat please let me know
