Sicilian Defense: Smith-Morra Gambit Accepted
  1. IsaVulpes gl scrobbles
  2. IsaVulpes hi chewb
  3. Chewbacca_Defense Hey Isa, how you doing?
  4. Chewbacca_Defense Go Scribbles
  5. gavalanche20 Scriiiiiiiibs
  6. IsaVulpes enjoyed a week of freedom
  7. gavalanche20 Wonder what he’s planning today
  8. IsaVulpes back to sadness after the weekend
  9. IsaVulpes happy new year and stuff
  10. IsaVulpes when is it too late to say that
  11. IsaVulpes is the 7th still ok
  12. Chewbacca_Defense Probably the outside range but I think its fine
  13. Chewbacca_Defense Happy New Year to you too
  14. gavalanche20 Nah still the first week, Happy New Year to you two too
  15. gavalanche20 We need to get the old gang back together one of these seasons
  16. MrScribbles (1.e4) hi chewseph, isa, gav
  17. MrScribbles (1...c5) Planning on SMG here, no prep
  18. gavalanche20 Dr plays Kalash I think
  19. MrScribbles (2...cxd4) Well I know the SMG but haven't prepped it for this opponent.
  20. Chewbacca_Defense I should prep for my game tomorrow
  21. MrScribbles (6.Bf4) all very normal so far
  22. MrScribbles (6.Bf4) hi nuts
  23. MrScribbles (6.Bf4) bye nuts
  24. Gingersquirrelnuts (6.Bf4) Oh, am I off already?
  25. MrScribbles (6.Bf4) Gav, have you ever told us why you're always flitting in and out of game chats?
  26. Chewbacca_Defense I assumed it was tabs on a phone
  27. gavalanche20 Yeah thats usually when I’m on my phone
  28. Gingersquirrelnuts (7.Bc4) But I am off now. Got OTB in the mornin. GL Scribbo.
  29. MrScribbles (8.O-O) all very normal so far
  30. MrScribbles (8.O-O) hi jonamatron
  31. Jonamatron Cook his goose Scribbles!
  32. MrScribbles (8.O-O) I don't exactly know theory here - I've never memorized moves in the SMG - but this is a perfectly fine position
  33. MrScribbles (8.O-O) hi nlance
  34. NLance Go Scribbles!
  35. TimothyHa (8) I hope Doctor has all the prescriptions today
  36. MrScribbles (8.O-O) Uh, or maybe I should have studied theory. Because is d5 a problem?
  37. MrScribbles (8.O-O) Well we're about to find out.
  38. gavalanche20 d5 feels too early
  39. Gingersquirrelnuts (9...d5) Fun fact, it's not Dr Von Goose wing, it's Dr Von Goo Sewing.
  40. Gingersquirrelnuts (9...d5) (probably not true- goodnight all)
  41. Jonamatron If that is true I sincerely apologize
  42. Jonamatron NOT
  43. Jonamatron Roast that bird!
  44. TimothyHa (10) both have funny pawns
  45. IsaVulpes (10...exd5) black has one extra
  46. TimothyHa (10) only because they're playing against MrScribbles
  47. MrScribbles (11.Bb5) hi stevenlongs and timothyha
  48. TimothyHa (11) hi, I'm heading to my OTB game soon (away for this round)
  49. TimothyHa (11) our board 1 this week is also away, and doing well at the NZ Championship at that, currently board 4 in R6 of the 9-round event
  50. TimothyHa (11) the games are in the main broadcasts of Lichess
  51. MrScribbles (12.Bg5) hi ptro
  52. MrScribbles (12.Bg5) I feel like I keep quickly losing the thread of 4545 games
  53. MrScribbles (12.Bg5) hi giziti
  54. giziti (12) wassuuuuuup
  55. NLance The light squared bishop wants to be on the long diagonal attacking the kingside, so I doubt Bb5 was right.
  56. giziti (12) so what should it be? Bd3?
  57. MrScribbles (13...Qc7) hi hildingr
  58. MrScribbles (13...Qc7) Can I just chuck humpelstiltskin up the board?
  59. Hildingr Hello!
  60. Hildingr He can’t see what I write can he
  61. gavalanche20 Not until after the game
  62. IsaVulpes (13...Qc7) he can not
  63. giziti (14) ooh will they allow the e6 shenanigans?
  64. MrScribbles (15.cxd4) hi fake
  65. fake_switch (15.cxd4) woooooooo!!! go mrScribbs
  66. fake_switch (15.cxd4) glhf drvongoosewing
  67. gavalanche20 So the bishop pair is nice I guess
  68. gavalanche20 But it’s hard to see much else that tangible for White just yet
  69. fake_switch (16...Qd6) i mean, something good has to come form owning the open c and e files, right?
  70. MrScribbles (17.Qd3) hi fake_switch
  71. MrScribbles (17...Rac8) I just feel like I'm down a pawn here with nothing to show for it
  72. MrScribbles (17...Rac8) Idk, I'm just worse here. This is a really tough season
  73. MrScribbles (18.g3) That's a bad move. I dunno. Sorry if I sound depressing
  74. MrScribbles (18...a6) Rxc1 Bxc1! for tricks
  75. MrScribbles (20...Rc8) booooooooooooring :P
  76. giziti (22) h4 h5 Bf4 ideas?
  77. gavalanche20 (22.h4) Oh ngl I was wondering if a g3-h4 plan might be good especially against a knight on g6
  78. gavalanche20 (22...h6) Bc1-a3?
  79. MrScribbles (23...1⁄2-1⁄2Draw by mutual agreement) I'm just bored of this game tbh
  80. fake_switch ggs
  81. gavalanche20 Wait no the fun was just getting started
  82. IsaVulpes very odd draw
  83. MrScribbles Yeah sorry gavvo, I wasn't in a good mindset for that grind
  84. IsaVulpes but uh, gj both on a clean game i guess
  85. DrVonGoosewing It was all that was needed for the match win.
  86. MrScribbles Haha you can spare the niceties Isa
  87. MrScribbles Oh I gave away the match win? My bad, I didn't know
  88. Chewbacca_Defense gg
  89. IsaVulpes this way i guess it makes sense
  90. IsaVulpes white was worse and black secured match victory
  91. DrVonGoosewing I think Black is slightly better but it was going to be a long slog with a small advantage.
  92. DrVonGoosewing I think.
  93. MrScribbles Yeah we spared each other a long boring endgame haha
  94. MrScribbles which seems like your style, I didn't think you'd take the draw
  95. IsaVulpes i think this would be a very exciting endgame
  96. IsaVulpes pawn vs bishop pair is v.interesting
  97. MrScribbles maybe for you Isa :D
  98. gavalanche20 ^
  99. IsaVulpes no boring rooks
  100. DrVonGoosewing One of us would have embarrassed ourselves with a blunder.
  101. IsaVulpes queens still on
  102. DrVonGoosewing Me I mean:-)
  103. MrScribbles Maybe another day I would have gone for it. And ok, I'm sure it would be plenty interesting. I'm just not in the headspace for it today tbh
  104. IsaVulpes all good
  105. MrScribbles Was that theory in the opening dr? you played fast
  106. DrVonGoosewing themselves with a blunder. You wouldn't think English is my first language.
  107. IsaVulpes you gambited, didnt get anywhere, offered draw; oppo wanted to secure match win and accepted
  108. IsaVulpes all makes sense
  109. IsaVulpes very GM
  110. DrVonGoosewing Yes. the pin variation recommended by Giri, so a draw was apt I guess.
  111. MrScribbles lol yeah now we can split the prize money like GMs
  112. IsaVulpes was there a big reason why you took exd5 instead of Nxd5 on 10
  113. IsaVulpes is that still book
  114. DrVonGoosewing I'm pretty sure that's how the line goes but I maybe wrong. I wanted to give my LS bishop a future, again I may have got that wrong.
  115. DrVonGoosewing The machine seems to think that we were both very accurate.
  116. IsaVulpes might well be! i wouldn't know
  117. IsaVulpes nxd5 just looks more natural to me
  118. MrScribbles re: Machine, that's probably why I never got anywhere haha
  119. DrVonGoosewing Hold on I'll check
  120. IsaVulpes at least it's a decision i would spend some time on
  121. DrVonGoosewing I think Bc4 is normally played in conjunction with Bg5 but the idea of taking on c3 and getting d5 in is the idea in the line I think.
  122. IsaVulpes yeah that all looked very logical
  123. MrScribbles I've heard that 6. Bg5 is more pressing , I think I should start using that
  124. DrVonGoosewing But it offers nothing more than equality or a slight edge to Black but is reasonably safe and dampens the gambiters ardour somewhat.
  125. MrScribbles I don't think this is the first time I've fizzled out in this line
  126. gavalanche20 Yes, I've heard of 6. Bg5 being presssing
  127. gavalanche20 After 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 that is hehe
  128. IsaVulpes ^^^^was just typing the same joke
  129. DrVonGoosewing It's probably an age thing, I know it is with me.:-)
  130. MrScribbles Well congrats on the match win dr. Any other thoughts on the game?
  131. IsaVulpes i was just thinking 10..Nxd5 either leads to 11.Bxd5 and a bunch more pieces comes off, which should be in your favour
  132. IsaVulpes Or it comes with tempo since dsq bishop hanging, giving time for smth like 11.Bg3 0-0 12.Qc2 Qf6 and then the usual b6 Bb7 or w/e stuff
  133. DrVonGoosewing I was happy with a draw and as I said in our conversation the other day, I prefer quieter less tactical positions so it suited me.
  134. MrScribbles Well, I appreciate that you accepted the gambit at least haha
  135. DrVonGoosewing I'd have played it if i was certain MrScribbles would take the knight but I was pretty sure he wouldn't.
  136. IsaVulpes same, this was supposed to be my anti morra line too whenever i play the sicilian
  137. DrVonGoosewing I never refuse a gambit offer, but it doesn't mean I always enjoy what comes after.
  138. IsaVulpes so to see it in action and get a good position was nice
  139. MrScribbles lol nice
  140. MrScribbles You could have accepted my Halloween Gambit
  141. MrScribbles You can get quiet positions out of it, but the problem is those are just *boring*, not positional or anything
  142. MrScribbles much better to accept and lose in 20 moves
  143. DrVonGoosewing To be fair, everything after 6.Bf4 was winging it but the idea was the same and pretty much executed as recommended by Giri.
  144. MrScribbles OK, unless you have any other comments --- good luck the rest of your season!
  145. DrVonGoosewing You too, take care and I look forward to our next encounter. That's i out of for you.
  146. MrScribbles I look forward to it too! Good night
  147. DrVonGoosewing 1.5 out of 2.0 for you.
  148. DrVonGoosewing Good night.
  149. DrVonGoosewing Take care everyone, thanks for watching and your post game input. It's appreciated.
  150. DrVonGoosewing Actually Isa, you are correct, the machine prefers 10...Nxd5. I will note that for next time. Thank you.
