Sicilian Defense: Lasker-Pelikan Variation
  1. ErinYu For the gold medal
  2. adande1 go Erin!
  3. RealRobbert Go Erinyu!
  4. ErinYu Since when does @mn8 play the Sveshnikov? Since when do I play it??
  5. ErinYu I swear the theory is a5... isn't b5 hanging? Boooo, I've never looked at this in my life.
  6. ErinYu Missed Qd4 a few moves ago. This is probably some theory that's better for black.
  7. NM mn8 this is probably still theory
  8. NM mn8 i know taking on b4 isn't supposed to be great for white
  9. NM mn8 if nd3 then qd4 i assume
  10. ErinYu Nd3 Qd4 Qe3 Qxc4 Be2 Bb7 Bf3 d5 lead to a good endgame for black. I should check that out afterwards.
  11. ErinYu Be6 O-O Rfb9 Rfb1 and I'm probably worse but it's not clear how he makes progress with the knight on d5.
  12. ErinYu Actually... I need to look at 18.c5 after the game. Pretty sure it's hot garbage but...
  13. ErinYu If he wants a draw he gets it, so I'm not happy. Never playing Nxb5 again.
  14. ErinYu He can claim a draw and even if he doesn't he's still better... awful.
  15. ErinYu Rfb8 Rfb1 h6 a4 a5 is nightmare fuel. I can't do anything.
  16. jessehf if anybody can play for anything is black for the better structure but it is likely to end up in a draw
  17. ErinYu Did I seriously have no winning chances after Nxb5?
  18. okei yea black has nicer pawn structure... fewer islands
  19. okei got to be a draw though
  20. jessehf black is considering to keep his DSB
  21. RealRobbert Would white even want to take the DAN?
  22. RealRobbert Dsb*
  23. okei no
  24. okei I don't think so
  25. jessehf white could take if he wants to draw
  26. okei ok so this is interesting ... what is black's plan
  27. okei we are in an endgame so it's all about strategy... thinking
  28. okei Black king comes to c5
  29. jessehf 23... Bd8 not even allowing the capture
  30. okei yea maybe Jesse is right
  31. White offers draw
  32. Draw offer accepted
  33. jessehf because if you start marching there is always Nc7+ to get into the opposite color bishops
  34. jessehf marching with the king*
  35. okei ah white bishop comes to a4
  36. okei blockade
  37. jessehf can you prevent it? maybe Bd8 Bc2 Bd7?
  38. mmatros so sad to miss this one!
  39. jessehf comp likes to keep the bishop but it is dead
  40. jessehf dead draw
  41. NM mn8 well an accurately played game, anyways
  42. NM mn8 if not an exciting one
  43. NM mn8 in the final position i was trying to work out if i should keep my DSB and try to win
  44. NM mn8 but when i was offered a draw i decided nahhhhh
  45. ErinYu I was expecting Bd8
  46. jessehf yeah that seems like the only try
  47. ErinYu But Bd8 Bd3 a5 looks pretty drawing.
  48. NM mn8 yeah bd8 was my main winning attempt
  49. NM mn8 yeah it looks like nothing at all
  50. ErinYu Okay, SF is going crazy. Bd8 Bd3 Kf8 c5 looked like a clean draw to me.
  51. NM mn8 well stockfish10 is fueled by its contempt setting
  52. NM mn8 but even 25 Kf1
  53. NM mn8 leaving everything the same should hold
  54. ErinYu Yeah I'm sure it's a draw. My only weakness is c5. You need another one.
  55. NM mn8 yep
  56. NM mn8 like i can try ...f5 at some point i suppose but it's not clear what im achieving
  57. jessehf the only winning scenario for black would be to dominate with the 2 bishops keeping as much material as possible
  58. jessehf but the knight on d5 was really strong that maybe that plan doesn't work
  59. NM mn8 yeah
  60. NM mn8 there's also only so much the dsb can do
  61. NM mn8 white can stay on light squares forever
  62. ErinYu I figure I put my pawns on f3 and h3 and your DSB is powerless. Then I put my king on d3 and shuffle my bishop forever.
  63. NM mn8 yep
  64. ErinYu Only way you get your king to b5 or something is by trading into opposite color bishops
  65. ErinYu If you push pawns I don't have to capture.
  66. NM mn8 yeah
  67. NM mn8 i was looking for a while but i couldn't see a legitimate winning plan
  68. ErinYu I thought you'd just play on out of contempt lol
  69. ErinYu I would have at least.
  70. NM mn8 my laziness generally outweighs my contempt ;p
  71. ErinYu I was wondering why Rc8 on move 19
  72. ErinYu I thought Rbf8 Rab1 and your rooks don't have to get traded.
  73. NM mn8 yeah rc8 was a bit silly
  74. NM mn8 for some reason i thought i should be preparing for a scenario where you take on f6
  75. jessehf that would have saved 1 move but still a draw because you could still force the trade
  76. NM mn8 yeah
  77. ErinYu I can?
  78. ErinYu 19...Rfb8 Rfb1 h6 Rxb2 Rxb2 Rb1 Rxa2
  79. jessehf unless black creates some luft but how useful would be like h6?
  80. ErinYu Though maybe I get Rb6 or something
  81. NM mn8 ah okay sio
  82. NM mn8 let's say i play ...h5
  83. NM mn8 you wait for ...kf8
  84. NM mn8 then take on b2 and play rb1
  85. NM mn8 because it's mate on f8 if i take a2
  86. NM mn8 not that i saw this idea during the game, ...rc8 was just silly
  87. ErinYu Yeah but you'd go Kh7 or something and I'm stuck with two bad rooks.
  88. NM mn8 yeah but how useful is the king on h7
  89. ErinYu I was thinking a4 a5 Nb6 in some desperate attempt but after a4 you go a5
  90. ErinYu Then my rooks are still bad.
  91. ErinYu Hmm yeah...
  92. ErinYu Hard to make progress for both sides. Still feel like after Kh7 or something black's the only one who can win.
  93. NM mn8 yeah somehow i thought i was being clever with rc8 but after rfb1 i realized "oh"
  94. NM mn8 yeah black's the only one who can win but
  95. NM mn8 like i dont understand what i do if you just pass
  96. NM mn8 like g3 kg2
  97. ErinYu My brazen idea was Kf1 Ke1 Kd1 Kc1 but you just go Bg5
  98. NM mn8 mayyyybe g3 h4 first and then run the king over?
  99. ErinYu g3 Bg5 h4 Bh6?
  100. ErinYu Oh wait you can't go Bh6 in h6 lines
  101. ErinYu But you can if you play h5
  102. NM mn8 yeah
  103. NM mn8 i guess if black's paying attention white doesn't have time to get g3 h4 in before ...bg5
  104. NM mn8 but also if the bishop's on h6, can white take on b2, play rb1, and on rxa2 play rd6?
  105. ErinYu SF says an immediate g3 h4 works even in the h5 lines
  106. NM mn8 fair
  107. ErinYu Including a4 a5 disallows c5 on my end.
  108. ErinYu Then I'm just worse
  109. NM mn8 yeh
  110. ErinYu Hmm yeah I guess...
  111. ErinYu The a-pawn is scary but the c-pawn is too
  112. ErinYu But you'd go Rd2 or something?
  113. NM mn8 well depends where black's king is
  114. NM mn8 i might have rxd6 rxd3 knight somewhere check?
  115. ErinYu Pretending I saw any of this in the game lol
  116. NM mn8 no i mean same obviously
  117. ErinYu But yeah the knight discovery is a thing for sure
  118. ErinYu But doesn't black get to take the bishop before Rxd6?
  119. NM mn8 i do this a lot, i don't play ambitiously enough, and then in the post mortem i try to prove that the other side is okay to justify it
  120. NM mn8 using ideas i hadnt seen at all in the game
  121. NM mn8 also
  122. NM mn8 oh
  123. ErinYu That's why you're an NM and I'm some random lol
  124. NM mn8 i was assuming rxa2 first for some reason
  125. ErinYu Yeah we're getting our lines mixed up. I'm still looking at a4 a5 variations.
  126. NM mn8 also NM is barely higher than "some random" :p
  127. NM mn8 oh
  128. NM mn8 ohhhhhhh
  129. ErinYu This makes much more sense...
  130. NM mn8 okay i didn't realize we'd included a4 and ...a5, fair enough
  131. ErinYu We were trying to prove different points lol
  132. NM mn8 yeahhhh
  133. ErinYu I'd still imagine after Rfb8 Rfb1 h5 g3 white can still play Kf1-e1-d1-c1
  134. ErinYu No reason to let your rook get super active?
  135. NM mn8 yeah
  136. ErinYu Okay SF is going ballistic. After h5 g3 in that line, if you try to solve your a6 issue by playing a5, Bc2
  137. ErinYu Going for Bb3
  138. NM mn8 oooh
  139. ErinYu That'd lead to something resembling the game
  140. NM mn8 yep
  141. NM mn8 ive got an extra few tempi somewhere but they're not terribly useful
  142. NM mn8 especially if ive decided to play ...kh7
  143. ErinYu Anyway, congrats on the stellar 10 ACPL gameplay :)
  144. NM mn8 haha
  145. NM mn8 11's not bad either
  146. ErinYu 1 inaccuracy...
  147. NM mn8 :cry:
  148. ErinYu Qd2 is bad. I was too ambitious. Hadn't figured out that Nxb4 was bad at that point.
  149. ErinYu Looks like white can get some playable position by giving back the pawn early.
  150. NM mn8 yeah it's all just equalish
  151. ErinYu I was wondering... would you be able to spar blitz or rapid games with me some time? I've needed a sparring partner for a while.
  152. NM mn8 yeah sure
  153. ErinYu Thanks for the game! If you can call it that. Good luck in your 90+30 games on Saturday.
  154. NM mn8 heheh thanks
  155. ErinYu I'll watch and shake my head as I comment how unambitious all of the moves are.
  156. NM mn8 ahaha
