English Opening: King's English Variation
  1. Siress (11.O-O) I mean I obviously can't calculate it all
  2. Siress (11.O-O) but the attack has to work
  3. alex11star well actually Qxh2 isn't necessarily mate because Re1 Kf1
  4. alex11star but with white's pawn structure? it looks ugly
  5. alex11star i don't like e4 for a few reasons
  6. glbert i don't like it either.
  7. Siress (11...e4) I'm really happy I did not trade the bishop right away
  8. Siress (12.Ne1) I might be a moron but its looking really useful now, blocking a lot of defensive ideas I can think of
  9. alex11star actually no, now it looks good
  10. Siress (12.Ne1) ok his pieces are all tied up need to find something
  11. alex11star now h4 should still come?
  12. alex11star i think white needs 3 tempi, f3/f4, e3 and qe2
  13. Siress (12...h5) I've just got to go for it
  14. Siress (12...h5) he can try and sac the rook for two pawns
  15. Siress (12...h5) but I think I'll collect them back eventually
  16. rojazu (12) black will exchange on g2 kill the english bishop, and castle. white can play Qc2 (f5 black) h4 (safeguarding f4 for pieces) and f3
  17. Alex-arsenault (12) (12) going to pretend i'm good enough to make something of the bishop pair and pawn for exchange
  18. Siress (12...h5) mental note to remember he can recapture the bishop with the knight
  19. rojazu (12) but that move indicates that black has more direct ideas. i dont think the king will be castling now
  20. Siress (13.Bxe4) ok he goes for it
  21. Siress (13...Bxf1) nothing to consider
  22. alex11star Qh3+ and h4 presumably
  23. Alex-arsenault (13) i am certain that i am not
  24. Siress (14.Kxf1) do I go for the pawn
  25. alex11star oh not right away
  26. alex11star Qh3+ Bg2 Qxh2 Nf3
  27. rojazu traps the queen ouch
  28. Siress (14.Kxf1) queen looks a bit claustrophobic but I don't think anything can really hurt here there
  29. alex11star don't you dare lol
  30. Siress (14.Kxf1) they are locked with the queen, not the queen locked with them
  31. rojazu this was a well judged exchange sac by white id say
  32. sgis Go Alex!
  33. Siress (14.Kxf1) ok all that analysis was result of amnesia
  34. Siress (14.Kxf1) I forgot what I was thinking about
  35. rojazu the english bishop will be an amazing defender
  36. Siress (14...h4) I think there really is no other option
  37. rojazu blacks most natural ideas are h4, hg, and try to organise something down h file
  38. alex11star i guess Na5 was also an option
  39. alex11star because of Bxa8 Nxb3
  40. alex11star you get 'a tempo' to play Rb8, but couldn've played it regardless
  41. rojazu whites bishop is worth more than his rook
  42. alex11star *could've*
  43. alex11star actually just Nf3 here and white isn't terrible?
  44. rojazu white is better here!
  45. alex11star you escape to c2 or something, in an endgame your king is more active
  46. rojazu Bg2 before Nf3. the bishop must be able to block the check
  47. rojazu well i suppose the knight does hold the fort as well but looks ugly
  48. alex11star stockfish tells me i'm an idiot *shrug*
  49. alex11star if i were black i'd certainly think i was better
  50. rojazu black has a number of positional issues
  51. Alex-arsenault (15) i think because my C1 bishop might never come alive the exchange wasn't worth it
  52. Siress (15...hxg3) should be the way to go
  53. rojazu just imagine how things look after Nf3, e4, Be3, Qd3
  54. alex11star yeah
  55. Siress (16.fxg3) very weird
  56. glbert huh.
  57. rojazu that was certainly not the correct
  58. glbert that's just asking for trouble.
  59. rojazu maybe thinks a rook is on f1 still ;)
  60. alex11star yeah straight up loses h2
  61. Siress (16...Qf5+) if I have a check I must give it right?
  62. rojazu Rxh2, Kf7 Rah8 and queen coming in
  63. glbert i think Q+ is wrong as well though.
  64. alex11star Rb7 is coming, a line like Bf4 g5 Rb7 gxf4 Bxc6... well there's fxg3+
  65. alex11star but just Kg1 is more sane
  66. alex11star sorry i meant Rb7 g5 Bf4 Rxc7 gxf4 Bxc6
  67. rojazu the queen check is wrong. makes whites previous move actually make sense!
  68. alex11star ...sorry i meant Bf4 g5 Rb7 gxf4 Rxc7 *eyeroll*
  69. alex11star maybe i'll just shut up
  70. rojazu im only here for the fantasy chess. go Siress. take my energy!
  71. alex11star there's no reason to play Bf4 anyway
  72. rojazu going caveman
  73. alex11star yeah after Nf3 and e4 white looks ok
  74. Siress (17...Qh5) probably not best
  75. rojazu g5-g4... just go for it?
  76. Siress (18...g5) oh boy this might backfire but I'm going for it
  77. alex11star i mean the knight is perfectly fine on h4
  78. alex11star i prefer getting out of the pin with Rb8 or something
  79. rojazu yep black needs to get his knights involved
  80. Siress (18...g5) also just want to keep him thinking
  81. glbert n can maybe be dislodged with something like Ng6. question is if you can really give up a N and a R. are you sure you are mating?
  82. glbert personally i don't think so.
  83. rojazu white has enough defenders
  84. glbert so getting out of the pin is probably the right idea.
  85. glbert maybe white can organize better in that time though.
  86. rojazu i think the initiative will turn quite quickly if black isnt careful
  87. glbert so what's the move for white here? e4?
  88. alex11star ...g5 may have been weakening to the exten e4-e5 comes with more force
  89. alex11star and black absolutely refuses to play Rb8
  90. alex11star extent
  91. Siress (19...Kf7) probably a horrible move but I've been meaning to play this some time
  92. alex11star siress needs to do less 'this feels right' and more calculating
  93. alex11star but d5 now? the queen is pinned
  94. alex11star white is a bit passive and the rooks may find open files
  95. Siress (27...c5) I think I can hold everything together
  96. Siress (27...c5) its gonna be a bit of a ride but I should be better if I see this correctly
  97. Siress (29...Nb7) almost there...
  98. Alex-arsenault i think Bxc5 Nxc5 Qd6 is good
  99. Siress (29...Nb7) I make pipi in pampers
  100. Siress (30.Bxc5) holy
  101. Siress (30.Bxc5) that's a mover
  102. Alex-arsenault or it loses lol why give away counterplay with such low tie
  103. Siress (30.Bxc5) no way this wroks
  104. Alex-arsenault lol tyes it loses right awaty
  105. Siress (30...Nxc5) d6 is covered
  106. Siress (30...Nxc5) I always have a rook check
  107. Siress (30...Nxc5) I think I've done it now
  108. Siress (30...Nxc5) just need to be precise
  109. Alex-arsenault what am i thinking
  110. rojazu Just the simple Qxe4 looks strong if allowed
  111. Siress (31...Qxe4) for the name of the team
  112. Siress (31...Qxe4) not really a sac but ok
  113. Siress (31...Qxe4) A sac a day keeps the win away
  114. Siress (31...Qxe4) the question is: for whom?
  115. Alex-arsenault i cant believe i threw so hard at the end
  116. fake_switch (32.Nd2) alex, i can show you at least 5 games in league where i botched massive leads :D
  117. fake_switch (32...Rb2) it happens at the end of games, and under time pressure
  118. fake_switch ggs!
  119. Siress lets go
  120. Alex-arsenault gg
  121. Alex-arsenault !!!
  122. Siress gg
  123. Siress what a cool game
  124. Siress oof clearly not very precise game either
  125. Alex-arsenault yeah - very weird positions
  126. Siress my whole attack probably never existed
  127. Alex-arsenault when i finally saw the idea in my position playing h4
  128. Alex-arsenault it was a touch too late
  129. Siress great defense
  130. Siress I really should have taken the pawn at move 16
  131. Siress idk what came over me
  132. Alex-arsenault oof
  133. Alex-arsenault yeah
  134. Alex-arsenault the idea of playing down a rook in a long format is really scary
  135. Alex-arsenault oh the pawns just hanging
  136. Siress yeah
  137. Alex-arsenault hehe
  138. Siress I think that even if the computer loves it for you
  139. Siress its never easy playing down an exchange
  140. Alex-arsenault no it's not
  141. Siress at that point of the game it was already drawn
  142. Siress if accurate moves
  143. Alex-arsenault i didn't feel like i had an edge
  144. Siress I didn't feel you had either, but I never doo, I'm overly optimistic
  145. Siress so I wouldn't trust my judgement
  146. Alex-arsenault mannnn
  147. Siress the bishop take was really dubious though
  148. Alex-arsenault ah of course
  149. Siress your idea was just the phantom fork on d6?
  150. Alex-arsenault yes
  151. Siress oof
  152. Siress sorry about that
  153. Alex-arsenault yup - saw that one a bit late
  154. Alex-arsenault whatcha gonna do
  155. Siress well, thanks a lot for the game
  156. Alex-arsenault i was looking at 22. Nxg5
  157. Alex-arsenault and had been planning the rook lift to go for it the whole time
  158. Siress lemme se ....
  159. Alex-arsenault but i didn't think it worked for some reason
  160. Siress but it doesn't?
  161. Siress move 22 right?
  162. Siress I don't think Nxg5 ever worked
  163. Alex-arsenault yeah
  164. Alex-arsenault sorry 23
  165. Siress ooooh that makes more sense
  166. Siress yeah I mean
  167. Siress a6 just forces trades
  168. Alex-arsenault im so bummed
  169. Siress sorry about the result
  170. Alex-arsenault nah all good
  171. Alex-arsenault more bummed about my play
  172. Alex-arsenault it was a good game where i had to make interesting choices
  173. Alex-arsenault just botched it at the end
  174. Siress tbf you did play very well before that
  175. Alex-arsenault thanks it felt bizarre the whole time
  176. Alex-arsenault okay well lots to take away from this one
  177. Siress but from my personal experience, not trying to diminish anything, I don't think a human at our level holds the exchange down endgame
  178. Alex-arsenault thanks a lot pal
  179. Siress I certainly wouldn't
  180. Siress thanks
  181. Alex-arsenault yeah fair to keep that in mind
  182. Siress for stockfish its always easy
  183. Siress same thing for those 2 rooks vs queen endgames
  184. Siress technically 2 rooks is usually winning
  185. Siress still loses like 75% of the time at non master level
  186. Alex-arsenault im just upset i was looking at 23. Nxg5 and didn't go for it
  187. Alex-arsenault i need to calculate more and better
  188. Alex-arsenault anyways
  189. Alex-arsenault gotta start my day
  190. Siress oh wow
  191. Alex-arsenault thanks a bunch
  192. Siress that actually worked
  193. Siress I didn't realize
  194. Siress I was looking at the wrong move agian
  195. Alex-arsenault i thought the king would take my knight and i'd be down the rook
  196. Siress yeah there is Qc4
  197. Siress and you get back a knight
  198. Alex-arsenault those are the ones you need to find if you want to win
  199. Alex-arsenault dangit
  200. Alex-arsenault thanks anyways siress! good game, lots of pressure
