Sicilian Defense: Classical Variation
  1. gavalanche20 Hey folks
  2. Ivory12 (1.e4) gl gav
  3. jcarmody (1.e4) go gav
  4. gavalanche20 (1.e4) Don't want to get hopes too high up but I'm fully expecting an actual Rauzer today
  5. gavalanche20 (5.Nc3) Thing is opponent is basically a blank slate, I don't have any information aside from potentially Bg5
  6. gavalanche20 (5.Nc3) Hey jc, hey Lupo, hey Chewy, hey Scribs, hey Ivory
  7. gavalanche20 (5.Nc3) I am saying hi and also pausing for dramatic effect. Am I thinking of playing the Najdorf?!
  8. gavalanche20 (5...Nc6) (No of course not)
  9. Ivory12 (5...Nc6) could have kalashnikoved!
  10. Ivory12 (5...Nc6) or not really
  11. Ivory12 (6.Bc4) whatever a Nf6 Kalashnikov would look like
  12. gavalanche20 (6.Bc4) (And no I don't think pausing for dramatic effect really does anything)
  13. Lupo_Jones Go gav!!
  14. gavalanche20 (7...e6) This is decidedly very not a Rauzer
  15. MrScribbles (9.Be2) Go gav!'
  16. gavalanche20 (10.Qd2) Ngl I'm kinda half asleep atm
  17. gavalanche20 (10.Qd2) But I think opponent might be following an old question match I had against S4d1st like a year agho
  18. gavalanche20 (11.O-O-O) Back then I played a5 which was incorrect, I got away with it game 1 but not the other one
  19. gavalanche20 (11.O-O-O) Here I should castle when White's move is g4!?
  20. gavalanche20 (12.g4) I take just remembering if it made a different which knight
  21. gavalanche20 (12.g4) It's the e-knight obviously
  22. gavalanche20 (12...Nexg4) Bg4 and Nd5 are the following ideas
  23. gavalanche20 (14.Rhg1) Or more accurately Rg1 e5 Nd5 Qd8 etc etc
  24. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Hey Ivory, hey pulsie
  25. pulsar512b rly wanna go bh6
  26. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Oh man I just remembered there's a huge TCL derby going on rn
  27. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Isa vs Shrekmated and I have to miss it sadge
  28. sidetracked_owl Go go Gav!
  29. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Well e5 appears to have given opponent some pause
  30. invinci7777 (14...e5) gl gav
  31. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Hey owl, hey invinci
  32. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Lines like these make me wonder why people don't play the Sozin as much anymore tbh
  33. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Main move is Nd5 I should probably invest a bit of time checking what happens if Be3 for example
  34. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Is White considering Bh6?
  35. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Bh6 maybe Qf2 works
  36. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Be3 maybe just chop and Rfc8 to allow Bf8 to defend
  37. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Unless Be6 first is needed to chop anything that lands on d5
  38. gavalanche20 (14...e5) The main move btw is Nd5 Qd8 Ne7 Qe7 Bg3 f6 with Rf7 ideas if needed to continue defending
  39. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Going back to an old line Bh6 I think I gave Qf2 as a potential idea which obviously does not work
  40. gavalanche20 (14...e5) Ayyyy fake won so the match is secure so that's good
  41. WickidDoc go gav!
  42. invinci7777 (14...e5) I think white is out of the book
  43. fake_switch (14...e5) goooooooooooo gav!! glhf elliotp
  44. gavalanche20 (15...Qd8) Hey fake congrats
  45. gavalanche20 (15...Qd8) Ok so opponent has found Nd5
  46. gavalanche20 (15...Qd8) Also hey stevenlongs
  47. gavalanche20 (15...Qd8) Oh and Wickid!
  48. gavalanche20 (15...Qd8) White might try h3 or f3 here after which I need to decide if simply Nf6 back or ef4
  49. gavalanche20 (15...Qd8) I vaguely remember Nf6 being the move but not if it's exactly this line
  50. gavalanche20 (15...Qd8) ef4 probably not good because I see now White has the option to take with knight which would end up being very happy on h5
  51. gavalanche20 (16.Be3) I'm assuming Nh2 is a no-no
  52. gavalanche20 (16.Be3) f5 is mildly attractive
  53. gavalanche20 (16.Be3) The bishop can't go anywhere so I can bide my time chopping it
  54. mysonnevercallme 15.Bh6 was interesting
  55. mysonnevercallme duh Qxf2
  56. mysonnevercallme w8 Gav is black
  57. mysonnevercallme hi guys
  58. MrScribbles (16.Be3) hey hey
  59. gavalanche20 (18.Bg5) Ohhhhhh fudgefudgefudgefudge
  60. gavalanche20 (18.Bg5) I'm clearly asleep today
  61. MrScribbles (18.Bg5) What? I don't see it yet
  62. WickidDoc d6 hanging, at minimum
  63. MrScribbles (18.Bg5) I probaly should have seen that lol
  64. WickidDoc maybe white goes f3 instead though and just focusses on attacking
  65. Chewbacca_Defense and I guess Qf7 h3 Bh6 is scary-ish?
  66. gavalanche20 (18...Qe6) Should have just taken instead of trying to get too cute
  67. WickidDoc yeah Bh6 ideas
  68. mysonnevercallme tbh Qb6 and early O-O asks for trouble
  69. mysonnevercallme i do play Qb6 against c4 Sicilian myself though
  70. Chewbacca_Defense I mean Qxd6 seeming very scary
  71. WickidDoc i guess g7 can be easily defended
  72. WickidDoc with Nf6-e8 and Rf7
  73. gavalanche20 (19.f3) Ok well the reckless lad in me wants to play Nxh2
  74. WickidDoc doesnt that just drop a knight?
  75. gavalanche20 (19.f3) oh ha
  76. gavalanche20 (19.f3) Well I think me spending more than five seconds on Nxh2 should be a good enough indicator of how awake I am
  77. mysonnevercallme we are up a pawn though
  78. WickidDoc an interesting idea could be Nf2 Qxf2 fxe4
  79. mysonnevercallme Nf6 Qd8 maybe
  80. mysonnevercallme i like Nf2
  81. gavalanche20 (19...Nf6) Missing something as basic as Ne7+ allowing the DSB is really just amateur tho
  82. mysonnevercallme Nf2 takes fxe4 Qd2 is still not so bad for white probably though
  83. WickidDoc yeah i dont really believe in it
  84. mysonnevercallme fxe4 Bh6 Nh5 almost works
  85. mysonnevercallme with the idea of Nf4 and Ne2+
  86. gavalanche20 (20.Qg2) Ok so what's White's threat
  87. gavalanche20 (20.Qg2) let's go back to basics here
  88. gavalanche20 (20.Qg2) Ok well the most elementary threat in this position is obviously Bh6
  89. WickidDoc theres some ideas like Bxf6 and Rxd6 to distract from the defense of g7
  90. gavalanche20 (20.Qg2) And going from that I see now that Bf6 is also a move because while it seems Qf6 helps more than it hurts there is Rxd6!!
  91. WickidDoc take my energy gav
  92. fake_switch (20.Qg2) ༼ つ _ ༽つ༼ つ _ ༽つ༼ つ _ ༽つ
  93. fake_switch (20.Qg2) dohh, i keep forgetting abotu the eyes
  94. WickidDoc :P
  95. gavalanche20 (20.Qg2) Nh5 is kind of attractive to me with that in mind
  96. WickidDoc i guess another threat is just winning d6 with exf5 Qxf5 Rxd6
  97. sidetracked_owl Nh5 and I know it "discombobulates" but is Ne8 maybe ok? Defends a lot of soft spots
  98. mysonnevercallme tbh i'd play Ne8 and be happy
  99. mysonnevercallme yea
  100. gavalanche20 (20.Qg2) Nd8 is also legal but so ugly and passive and I just can't
  101. mysonnevercallme we are up a pawn and the b3 knight is not playing
  102. gavalanche20 (20.Qg2) The main goal of Nh5 is to land on f4 and try to bait White into taking which trades off his annoying bishop
  103. gavalanche20 (20.Qg2) And maybe breaks the position open favorably for me while preventing Bf6 and Bh6
  104. WickidDoc Ne8 makes a lot of sense
  105. WickidDoc it isnt even really in the way since black is going to play Rf7 at some point
  106. gavalanche20 (20...Nh5) Hey myson and OKK
  107. gavalanche20 (20...Nh5) I'm getting attacking preeeeeetty furiously here
  108. gavalanche20 (20...Nh5) There are some reasons for optimism in the position though, the knight is a bit of a lame duck on b3 and a5-a4 could come
  109. gavalanche20 (20...Nh5) If White is careless
  110. mysonnevercallme so the idea is exf4 and kh8 here?
  111. mysonnevercallme fxe4*
  112. gavalanche20 (21.Kb1) What are White's threats? Can I start hucking a5-a4?
  113. gavalanche20 (21.Kb1) Also do I want to play Rf7 so that Nf4 actually works?
  114. mysonnevercallme fxe4 Qd2 Nf4 so we don't need Kh8
  115. mysonnevercallme fxe4 a4 maybe
  116. gavalanche20 (21.Kb1) Guess the other question is how scared should I be of Qh3
  117. mysonnevercallme fxe4 seems too good for me not sure why gav doesn't do it
  118. mysonnevercallme active rook, BBC and white has to react
  119. gavalanche20 (21.Kb1) Ah maybe White played Kb1 because Qh3 Nf4 there were Ne2 ideas in the psoition
  120. mysonnevercallme also stop Qa2 maybe
  121. gavalanche20 (21...a5) Ok so let's pretend this move does something
  122. gavalanche20 (21...a5) Qh3 I might also have Be8
  123. gavalanche20 (21...a5) Perhaps ironically the earworm of the week is "What's Up Danger"
  124. gavalanche20 (21...a5) Ah that knight can always hide on c1 once kicked I guess
  125. fake_switch (21...a5) be careful though... it's spiicccyyy
  126. mysonnevercallme the knight also has e4 if Nd2 now
  127. gavalanche20 (22.f4) That song probably not a good one to have since it talks about "high chances that I might lose"
  128. fake_switch (22.f4) i mean... you already know the match results, i say go for it
  129. gavalanche20 (22.f4) So the genius move here might be just keep pushing the a pawn to bring the rook into the game via a4
  130. gavalanche20 (23.Nd2) I really want to play Be8-f7 now
  131. gavalanche20 (23...Be8) Was not expecting Nd2 but I think it's not a bad move
  132. gavalanche20 (23...Be8) Actually kind of hilarious how lost in the middle of all this chaos is the fact that I'm a pawn up
  133. mysonnevercallme i'm dying to know why not fxe4 earlier
  134. gavalanche20 (24.exf5) Qf5 and it gets interesting
  135. gavalanche20 (24.exf5) I don't think White was intending on taking on b7 were they?
  136. gavalanche20 (24...Qxf5) Anyway the position is wide open now which is good for swindling purposes
  137. gavalanche20 (25.Nc4) Bc6?
  138. gavalanche20 (25...Bc6) d5 probably not a good follow up but maybe ef4 to swing over to the queenside instead
  139. gavalanche20 (27...exf4) If Nxd6 I had Qf6 with a3 ideas
  140. gavalanche20 (28...Qf6) Ne4 a pretty annoying move ngl
  141. gavalanche20 (29.Qg4) Ok so a3 what happens?
  142. gavalanche20 (29...a3) c3 I need to do something to dislodge Nd6 to get Be4 in
  143. mysonnevercallme the a8 rook is how i like my olive oil. extra virgin
  144. gavalanche20 (30.c3) Ahhhhhh what to do here
  145. gavalanche20 (31.Rd4) I rally want to sack the exchange
  146. gavalanche20 (33...Be6) I don't know if there was any better
  147. gavalanche20 (34.Nxb7) This doesn't look correct
  148. gavalanche20 (35...Bd5) I can't think!!!
  149. gavalanche20 (35...Bd5) Doing this because pressure on a2 feels like it should be relevant
  150. gavalanche20 (37...axb2) Can I trap the knight somehow
  151. gavalanche20 (37...axb2) b5 works I think
  152. MrScribbles (42.b6) Can we stop the pawn?
  153. MrScribbles (42.b6) the N has a hard time covering the promotion square, but so does the LSB
  154. MrScribbles (42.b6) tough in time trouble
  155. gavalanche20 (42...Ke7) spidey senses are not activating, am I dumb just letting this guy run?
  156. mysonnevercallme we could g5 or g6 to play kd7
  157. gavalanche20 (44...Bg4) Oh maybe Bd7-c6 was just simpler
  158. mysonnevercallme g5 would lose a pawn too so g6
  159. mysonnevercallme but now Kd7 Nf5 Kc5 Nxg7 Rxb7 and the N is trapped
  160. gavalanche20 (45...Bd7) Yea I feel kinda dumb now
  161. gavalanche20 (50...Rc2) Mate I'm so braindead today
  162. fake_switch (52.h3) well, we were up until like, 3 am watching chess....
  163. fake_switch (52...Rh2) we should proabbly get sleep the night befor our games
  164. gavalanche20 (52...Rh2) Need to keep my wits about me to hold and yet the energy just isn't there atm
  165. gavalanche20 (53.Rg3) Kf4 wins the pawn?
  166. gavalanche20 (54...Kf4) Rd2 is an idea
  167. gavalanche20 (54...Kf4) Just give me the pawn and no one gets hurt
  168. fake_switch (55.Rxg7) that's gotta win elliot an award right?!?
  169. fake_switch (55.Rxg7) making move with less than a second
  170. gavalanche20 (55.Rxg7) what
  171. k-night-moves Dirty trick
  172. gavalanche20 (55...Rh1) that's mean
  173. jcarmody (55...rh1) :o
  174. fake_switch ggs
  175. jcarmody ggg
  176. MrScribbles gg
  177. fake_switch woow, wat a mate
  178. ElliotP What a strange mate!
  179. jcarmody Someone didn't read the micro-megathread discussing engine use!
  180. Lupo_Jones gg
  181. Chewbacca_Defense gg
  182. ElliotP Tough position - if 55...Rxh3 then there was 56.Rf7+ Kg4 57.Nf2+
  183. gavalanche20 jc what's that supposed to mean :P
  184. gavalanche20 Yeah that's why I panic didn't take the pawn
  185. ElliotP In the moment I thought 22.f4 was genius...turns out it's a blunder hah
  186. gavalanche20 Probably should have just played Kf4 on 53
  187. ElliotP what a complicated middlegame.
  188. gavalanche20 34...Rb8 was a huge miss, if I've seen Rb4 held everything together I would have gone with Rd2 I think
  189. ElliotP Oh, wow, 34...Rd2 is really strong there. I actually missed that.
  190. ElliotP I also looked at 34...Rdc8, but thought 34...Rdb8 looked better.
  191. gavalanche20 So much went wrong for me from trying to get too cute, like 16...f5 forgetting about Ne7, that Rb8 stuff and then not going for the pawn
  192. gavalanche20 In the end smh
  193. mysonnevercallme gg
  194. Ivory12 gg
  195. ElliotP Well, I was fortunate to hold it together. 31.Rd4 was a miraculous find, for example.
  196. gavalanche20 Yeah that's another one, I was sure that position had to be good or winning but no breakthrough to be found
  197. ElliotP (the idea, of course, being 31...Rxd6 32.Rxd6 Qxd6?? 33.Qxg7#)
  198. gavalanche20 Curse that knight on d6
  199. gavalanche20 Ah well thanks for the game
  200. ElliotP Thank you! Have a nice rest of your weekend.
