Italian Game: Scotch Gambit
  1. TheChessArchives did you prepare this line?
  2. RobertSmith yup
  3. TheChessArchives Why did you hesitate so long after 3.Nf6?
  4. RobertSmith I had 21. Rad1 on an analysis board just before the game
  5. RobertSmith haha I was trying to make you play fast
  6. RobertSmith I thought if I played the very start too fast you might avoid it
  7. TheChessArchives This is my repertoire, so of course I'd play fast. I've never seen 14.cxd4 before though
  8. TheChessArchives I thought it was weird that you'd hesitate earlier, then blitz all of this out, and hesitate again after 21...Re8
  9. RobertSmith yeah I just didn't want you to decide to take it somewhere neither of us knew, because you would almost definitely beat me then
  10. RobertSmith I had looked at Raf8 with engine before the game, not Re8
  11. RobertSmith so I needed to get my bearings a bit
  12. RobertSmith yeah I generally slow down when brain has to be braining
  13. TheChessArchives Why would you play straight for a draw in an online league without prizes? Is rating that important? I play in this league for practice,
  14. TheChessArchives so it's frustrating to get an opponent who plays a straight drawing line.
  15. RobertSmith I played for a draw because I'm honest enough with myself to appreciate that you'll beat me 9 times out of 10 from an imbalanced position
  16. RobertSmith As the 350 higher rated player it's your responsibility to avoid lines like this if you want to win
  17. TheChessArchives That tells me that you care more about rating than trying to win and learning something from the game.
  18. TheChessArchives Yes, it's my responsibility to choose what openings I want to play, but that is still besides the point.
  19. TheChessArchives I play to practice and learn, so all I'm saying is that it's frustrating when I don't get to have that. 1.e4 e5 is my main defense,
  20. TheChessArchives so I have to deal with lines like these, but my point still stands. That's all I wanted to say
  21. TheChessArchives and to bring up to you, because I was curious why you'd play in this league if you don't want to get interesting games.
  22. TheChessArchives Plus, you're clearly good at preparing opening lines for games, so did you consider preparing a line that you're comfortable in and
  23. TheChessArchives would give you winning chances, and which I probably don't know very well? I was worried you'd play the King's Gambit because I saw you play
  24. TheChessArchives it on openingtree.com, and I don't have anything solid prepared against it. If you'd prepared something strong, maybe you could've won this
  25. TheChessArchives game instead of going straight for a boring draw.
  26. RobertSmith The rating isn't a worry at all for me, but what I do like is scoring points against much stronger players
  27. RobertSmith And my main goal with the tournament is to finish as high up as possible
  28. RobertSmith I know you're the second seed and all that so you can use pretty much every game as practice
  29. RobertSmith but most of us aren't at that level so it's about beating lower rated opponents and sneaking upsets against higher rated opponents
  30. RobertSmith As for the kings gambit, most people who are worried about their opponent playing it and who have nothing solid against it,
  31. RobertSmith will simply go and find something solid.
  32. RobertSmith The reason I played the nakhmanson is because I got up 20 minutes before the game, had breakfast,
  33. RobertSmith opening the explorer for your account for rapid and slower, then clicked the top move until move 14. cxd4 to take you off the main line
  34. TheChessArchives In this tournament 'level' has nothing to do with it because there's nothing to win.
  35. TheChessArchives Nobody has anything to lose but rating points, so what's the problem with trying to beat a higher rated player? You just said you
  36. TheChessArchives like scoring points against higher rated players, so why not do that? Going for a straight draw like this is truly rewarding to you?
  37. TheChessArchives If you're really "pretty much an FM" like your bio says, you should be the one with the better winning chances because I'm only a
  38. TheChessArchives USCF-rated expert
  39. TheChessArchives I guess I'm also upset because I saw you play those fun openings against 1.e4 e5 like the Vienna and King's Gambit, so I thought we'd have a
  40. TheChessArchives fun game
  41. TheChessArchives I know you didn't do anything wrong, it's normal tournament strategy, but I just feel like I wasted some time. I guess I've wasted more
  42. TheChessArchives typing all this out
  43. TheChessArchives Anyway, you're a good player, so I wish you luck going forward
  44. RobertSmith By level I meant strength, and therefore how many points we can realistically each hope to score
  45. RobertSmith Of course I could have tried to beat you, and maybe would have a couple of times every hundred
  46. RobertSmith Just to clear up, I'm 1600 fide and the bio is an inside joke, far from the truth
  47. RobertSmith I understand, I'd be dissapointed if a 1700 drew with me I guess
  48. RobertSmith But thank you for the game, maybe it wasn't much to you but good endgame practice for me, good luck for the rest of your games :)
  49. TheChessArchives Ah okay, I understand. I did try to push a bit in that endgame but you held firm. I'm not sure what time zone you're in but if you'd like a
  50. TheChessArchives sparring partner, especially if you play your King's Gambit or Vienna, perhaps we can arrange some practice games.
