Petrov's Defense: Three Knights Game
  1. Rolihlahla (1) hi John!
  2. Rolihlahla (3) expecting 3 knights
  3. Rolihlahla (13) thinking NxN cxN b6 with Ba6 to follow
  4. juandeleon (15...Bb7) Go Rolihlahla!
  5. Scarff 13.Nxd4 is very puzzling to me
  6. Rolihlahla (16) hi Bram & Juan
  7. Scarff Hi Eric, good luck! Not sure about all your choices so far, but it's still a very playable position for both sides
  8. Scarff Maybe c5 now?
  9. FM juancruzariasTDF the opening went very well
  10. FM juancruzariasTDF maybe Black could activate the rook by going Rd6-c6
  11. FM juancruzariasTDF pushing g6 also looks nice to kill any chances of backrank issues
  12. FM juancruzariasTDF (move 25)
  13. FM juancruzariasTDF the position is very equal, hard to say who has better chances
  14. FM juancruzariasTDF Black's d8 rook is passive, so I guess trading rooks favors Black
  15. FM juancruzariasTDF (trading one rook)
  16. FM juancruzariasTDF move 27 still seems like playing g6-Kg7-Kf6 and/or Rd6-c6 are ways to improve Black's position (better king - better rook)
  17. FM juancruzariasTDF oh looks like it's going to be a draw
  18. FM juancruzariasTDF :)
  19. gary0892 Was a bit surprised by the opening. Had seen you'd mostly played four knights, but you had one blitz game yesterday where you'd played Bb4
  20. Rolihlahla yes - i am learning some new openings
  21. gary0892 so had a quick look. Wasn't sure whether to play d3 or Nxe5
  22. gary0892 Thought d3 was a bit safer
  23. gary0892 Felt like a big opening success for you. Very hard for me to get an advantage.
  24. Rolihlahla i think NxN was not good
  25. Rolihlahla but i'm not sure what else i would have done
  26. gary0892 Yeah, it felt more comfortable for me to unpin the bishop with the trades.
  27. gary0892 engine likes both NxN and Ne5
  28. Rolihlahla only one inaccuracy in the whole game!
  29. gary0892 Just noticed the accuracy and ACPL. Probably my lowest score for both players before. Wow.
  30. Rolihlahla i guess we didn't play long enough :-)
  31. Rolihlahla i'm sure some would come somewhere!!
  32. gary0892 I think after all the trades. The engine probably just thinks its always a draw and hard to make mistakes
  33. Rolihlahla yes - probably the case
  34. gary0892 I thought I was a bit better at the end with rooks on the open file but didn't really know how to capitaise.
  35. gary0892 Did you ever consider b4? I was a bit worried about it
  36. Rolihlahla yes - it was a matter of who got to the Q side first I think
  37. gary0892 I thought after b4 you might have been a little better
  38. gary0892 after cxb4 and Rxd4
  39. Rolihlahla not really - i had too many problems to push that
  40. gary0892 Probably not too much to it though
  41. gary0892 Was probably seeing ghosts
  42. Rolihlahla i was worried you would get on the 7 rank
  43. Rolihlahla i think that was your big threat
  44. gary0892 I was relieved when I foud Re2 on move 19
  45. gary0892 Thought for a moment you had a forced winning of a pawn
  46. Rolihlahla yes - that allowed for the unpinning of the LSB
  47. gary0892 After you attack the bishop I dont have to defend and can play Re1 which threatens mate
  48. gary0892 Yeah after that it's more comfortable for me
  49. Rolihlahla what move?
  50. gary0892 Move 19-20
  51. gary0892 Thought you had Rc6 at first which threatens the bishop but I don't have to defend
  52. Rolihlahla i don't think Re1 works
  53. Rolihlahla you have to defend the bishop
  54. gary0892 If you play Rc6 move 19?
  55. Rolihlahla ohh - OK
  56. gary0892 Oh yeah you're right. That's 100% what I would've played
  57. gary0892 You do have to defend mate first though
  58. Rolihlahla never considered Rc6 - but you are correct - there is a back rank threat
  59. Rolihlahla gotta run - gl in the rest of the season my friend!
  60. gary0892 My whole think that move was about Rc6 cause I thought it won a pawn. It's why I thought you played Rd6
  61. gary0892 That's fine. Good luck to you too.
  62. Meeklydim ggs guys!
  63. gary0892 Thank you!
