Horwitz Defense: Other variations
  1. god666 7... b6 looks very bad
  2. god666 0-0 first is the move
  3. god666 To avoid the pin
  4. mkac I was surprised that it mattered
  5. god666 Then it is already very hard for black.
  6. god666 Well, Bf1 has not move yet, playing Bb5, Qa4, Ne5 all with tempo is like a dream for white
  7. god666 Development is finished and black is all out defence
  8. god666 btw I didnt see better defense than yours, loosing a7 pawn after 11... Rc8
  9. god666 It is the last move I saw (12.Qxa7 when I decided to go for 8.Bb5)
  10. mkac Nakamura played Qc7 instead of my Bb7. I am not sure how does it help?
  11. god666 Interesting
  12. god666 8... Qc7 you mean?
  13. mkac Yes
  14. god666 Already interesting Naka played b6!
  15. mkac Ah! Because after Qa4, the bishop goes to Bd7
  16. mkac And a7 is protected.
  17. mkac Still Black is under pressure.
  18. god666 right
  19. mkac But immediately losing a pawn.
  20. mkac Not immediately losing the pawnb
  21. god666 Qc7 was a better defense, but 7... 00 is probably even better than going into this :)
  22. mkac But you are right that his b6 is a rarity.
  23. god666 12... Qc7 is a good move, I had a long thought here
  24. mkac I didn't see what else could I play at 12th
  25. god666 13.Bxc6 Bxc6 14.Qxc7 Rxc7 15.Nxc6 Rxc6 is trading to a better endgame
  26. god666 but it was "only" 1p, for a rook endgame, and some how b2/c3 could become weak.
  27. mkac Could I have avoided the loss of the second pawn?
  28. god666 So I looked for more, your threat was Ra8. So Qxb6 possibility could help. Then I realized if dxc Qxe5 Qxb7 would win even more material
  29. god666 So I found dxc5, I dont think you can save that 2nd pawn now.
  30. god666 The line is pretty forced.
  31. god666 I've checked 12... 0-0 13.Qxb7 to see if you can trap my queen, but I dont think so
  32. mkac I was looking into this line and didn't see any trap.
  33. god666 13... Na5 14.Nxf7 and white should be ok
  34. god666 Oh computer even give 13... Na5 14.Qa7! if Ra8 15.Nxf7! even stronger! but to complicated for me to calculate
  35. god666 So we enter this +- endgame
  36. god666 18.Ke2 wants to protect d3 (Ne5-d3+) and free Rh1. If trouble with rooks, it could castle later on with Kf1
  37. mkac Until move 15 we followed one game of GMs and one of FMs. Quite probably after that dubious b6 and losing Bb7, it was all done.
  38. mkac It was probably resignable at that point.
  39. god666 You were right to continue
  40. god666 I was about to give back a pawn
  41. god666 22.Nb3 : I've blundered it, didnt see Ne4! But then I saw the idea of Nc5 and took time to make it work.
  42. god666 Cause your Nc3 is somehow trapped there. If Rxc3 first, RxR and Nxc3 is the same.
  43. mkac Nb3 is one of the computer's top moves.
  44. god666 Yes, I see :) But not for me when I saw Ne4 landing!
  45. god666 Lucky me.
  46. mkac I thought only f3 was good for you then, but according to computer, there are many good moves.
  47. god666 Well, I can play 23. Nc5 NxN bc Rxc5 and be only a pawn up.
  48. god666 By calculation it was not easy to make f3 work
  49. god666 For instance :
  50. mkac It is a shame to play London and lose in 15 moves. Or lose in 10 moves but realize it 5 moves later.
  51. mkac After f3 I guess I should have withdrawn my knight, but this would be hopeless.
  52. god666 London is a very aggressive opening. I dont know why people think it is slow and boring.
  53. mkac I agree, it is just that when I lose in London, I lose usually much later :).
  54. god666 Of course black can equalize and have an easy game, but it can go very wrong if they mistaken. As in any other opening in fact
  55. god666 Drawback for you is I've played conitnously hundreds of london in slow games (OTB and here) last 3 years, so I know a little about black
  56. god666 potential mistakes :O
  57. god666 Honestly, I would have been very surprised playing Naka and seeing 7... b6?! I would have check his face!
  58. god666 On question :
  59. god666 If you play 1.d4 e6, why do not you answer 2.Bf4 f5?
  60. god666 I believe it is decent to go in dutch when white has already moved his Bishop to f4. So is there a reason you do not play f5?
  61. mkac I used to play a lot of classical dutch, but now I am restricting it to some lines.
  62. god666 Ok I see : it is more about quantity of extra work than pure theory, isnt it?
  63. mkac The thing is that I used to have reasonable results with e6-d5-c5-b6 against London.
  64. mkac So I didn't feel motivate to look for something else.
  65. god666 And you are right, it is good approach.
  66. god666 Just castle before b6 to avoid a4-e8 troubles
  67. mkac Actually that was my first loss after playing 2.c5 :)
  68. mkac in a slow game on lichess.
  69. god666 Really? proud of it :) Any question before I leave?
  70. mkac No, thanks for the game! Have a good evening!
  71. god666 (Note that even if 2... c5 is not the most common, we reach the most common london at 7.Ngf3, so 2... c5 is no big deal for london player)
  72. god666 only if you follow by something like 3... Qb6 but then you'd better be prepared!
  73. god666 Ok, thank you for the game and see you again soon!
