English Opening: Anglo-Indian Defense
  1. Th3RomanticWarrior Why not 14. ... Bxc3? Didnt that win a pawn? What am i missing?
  2. mynameismund Racd8?
  3. mynameismund what does that mean. im still learning notation
  4. timothyha (15) @Th3RomanticWarrior - that could end up with Bxf6, Bxg7 etc. so maybe White wins a pawn back
  5. timothyha (15) if Bxe4 comes from Black
  6. Th3RomanticWarrior Bxc3 on Bxf6 simply Bxf6?
  7. timothyha (15) (15) @mynameismund - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)#Disambiguating_moves
  8. Th3RomanticWarrior But yeah than e4 would be hanging, got it
  9. Th3RomanticWarrior D5 i mean
  10. aln276 (15) hm.... though decision
  11. timothyha (15) something is wrong now - White can take on f6 first
  12. aln276 (15) none of the pawn changes gives Black suitable position. So I am trying to get some pieces in the centre
  13. aln276 (15) now if exd5 I go Bxc3 first and take on d5 with the knight
  14. mynameismund Bxf6 gxf6 exd Bxc3 bxc3 exd5
  15. timothyha (17) yes, but White will have two pawn islands versus Blacks' four
  16. aln276 (17) I looked here at Bxc3 bxc3 exd5
  17. timothyha (17) not too terrible, now that each side has only one bishop, but still not ideal
  18. aln276 (17) is there anything better?
  19. mynameismund Narf is looking good here
  20. timothyha (18) maybe just play Rab8 and not retake the pawn
  21. timothyha (18) but that's a pawn down, so retaking was necessary
  22. aln276 (18) probably c4 is coming
  23. timothyha (18) I think White's plan is Ra5, Rda1
  24. timothyha (18) Ra5 forces b5, then Rad1 Rd6 Rxb5
  25. aln276 (18) but I would just take? or may be play d4?
  26. timothyha (19) oh, one move shy from a5...
  27. timothyha (19) So White wants to double on d
  28. aln276 (19) the d1 rook is not protected.
  29. timothyha (19) Black should do the same, I think, Rd6, Rad8
  30. aln276 (19) may be I can use that thing playing Rac8?
  31. timothyha (19) all those squares are dark and bishop cannot harass rooks
  32. timothyha (19) interesting turn of events, now c3 is so weak
  33. timothyha (19) White can still play Ra5, but Black has a better version now
  34. aln276 (19) I just realised that White cannot protect all the pawns.
  35. timothyha (19) yes, a bit of a surprise. And I think 19. Ra5 was a winning plan
  36. aln276 (19) but my pawns a6 and b7 are also an easy target for the LSB
  37. timothyha (19) exchange of a+b+d (B) for b+c+d (W) and offer a draw
  38. timothyha (20) Bxd3 should help exchange all pawns
  39. aln276 (20) main line dxc4 but there is Bxb7
  40. aln276 (20) another way is b5 and looks like I might change all the pawns
  41. Th3RomanticWarrior On Bxb7 Rb8 is fine i think
  42. aln276 (20) b5 cxb5 and that's it? axb5 Rd4 Rc3
  43. aln276 (20) if now Bxb7 Rb8 Bxa6 cxd3 or cxb3
  44. aln276 (21) I guess now b5 would do?
  45. timothyha (21) yeah, let's exchange safely here and go home with 0.5
  46. aln276 (21) or better Bxd3? Rxd3?
  47. aln276 (21) I think the position gets slightly more pleasant for Black
  48. aln276 (21) long thought is a sign of uneasy decisions I guess
  49. timothyha (22) I think Rxa6 is worse for White
  50. timothyha (22) suddenly White gets a passed pawn on d3
  51. timothyha (22) Black, I mean
  52. Th3RomanticWarrior On c4 more likely
  53. timothyha (22) c1 is a dark square
  54. Th3RomanticWarrior Wow nice
  55. timothyha (22) ok, also works
  56. aln276 (22) this way I solve the d- pawn advance
  57. aln276 (22) the main thing is that white cannot win
  58. timothyha (22) it's nice to have some advantage before offering the draw
  59. timothyha (23) Rcd4 seems safest to me
  60. timothyha (23) that's a bit of drama, allowing some kind of a race
  61. timothyha (23) @scarff, @Th3RomanticWarrior, our captain also overcomplicates
  62. aln276 (23) after Rcd4 Ra3 white guards the d-pawn. So I put my pawn to get the a3 square from the rook.
  63. timothyha (24) what do you do on Rf4?
  64. aln276 (25) so I can exchange the d3 pawn for my b pawn and the rook endgame is a draw
  65. Th3RomanticWarrior Kg7 now?
  66. Scarff This is looking very solid! :D
  67. timothyha (25) I actually like Kg7 more, useful move, removes any chances of Bxh7+ discovery etc
  68. timothyha (25) Mutiny averted, captain is still of a sound mind
  69. aln276 (25) shall I try offer him a draw?
  70. Black offers draw
  71. Scarff Seems like a fair position to offer a draw in. I don't see how white is going to play for a win here
  72. aln276 (25) I know he will probably reject
  73. Veith2310 If white takes the draw they lose the team match right? since its 4 - 2
  74. timothyha (25) yep, not the last game of the match, so it's tough on him. He's board 1 and needs to lead by example and all
  75. Scarff Yes. So white is in a very tough spot. Must win situation in a drawn position it feels like to me
  76. timothyha (25) I guess White plays Rc1 here
  77. Narf64 draw and lost is the same for me. My next game is in 8 hours, then we have time enough
  78. timothyha (25) here we get the answer
  79. White declines draw
  80. timothyha (26) Rc1 will be 3v2 on pawns, so something to play for
  81. aln276 (26) that's the last chance
  82. timothyha (26) plus not sure what's better, to have those disconnected pawns or not
  83. timothyha (28) Rb8 :-)
  84. timothyha (28) I'd play that immediately
  85. timothyha (28) just for fun
  86. timothyha (32) mad rooks
  87. aln276 (29) I think the Black's position is holdable
  88. timothyha (38) with disconnected pawns you might have an issue - imagine pawns on f6, g5 and h6, Black king wouldn't be safe
  89. timothyha (38) but White king will also be opened from behind
  90. timothyha (38) I think Black can keep pawns as-is
  91. timothyha (38) as White rook can't enter from behind while Black rook will be able to
  92. Scarff I think so too. Just wait and do nothing to weaken your position and I don't see what white does to win
  93. timothyha (39) I've held many 2v3, 3v4 etc. but I also won a 4v3 in the League. It really depends on the weaker side choosing a stable construct
  94. timothyha (40) @aln276 has 6 blog posts on rook endgames on chess.com and he has some experience with this stuff
  95. Scarff His reputation depends on holding this ;)
  96. timothyha (40) Yeah, we had so many rook endgames together, too
  97. timothyha (40) He's got to prove the worth of his Russian endgame school
  98. timothyha (41) White will try to put a pawn on h6 if Black allows him to
  99. timothyha (42) but Black doesn't, so...
  100. Scarff But he doesn't!
  101. Scarff :)
  102. timothyha (42) also that pawn on h5 is now overextended and can be attacked
  103. timothyha (42) and taken with Rg4+
  104. timothyha (42) ok, not taken, but will be harassed
  105. timothyha (43) I am guessing moves correctly for now
  106. timothyha (44) It' would be fun to induce Kg4 and f4
  107. timothyha (44) but maybe that would look similar to what we thought we'd have with pawns on f7 h7 f6 g5 h6
  108. timothyha (44) so may be not good to change this
  109. timothyha (46) but Black is getting that soon
  110. timothyha (48) we have 14 messages left until 200 in chat, but I've been saving the chat for Alex, so it's ok
  111. timothyha (50) a check on a4 now would help, Ra4+ Ra6 after that
  112. timothyha (50) otherwise pawn getting to f6 is a problem
  113. aln276 (51) I obviously need to prevent f5-f6
  114. timothyha (51) so far so good
  115. aln276 (51) here I dont' see how White can improve his position
  116. timothyha (51) now White is tied to the defence of the f-pawn, so yes
  117. timothyha (51) Rf1 was better than my version
  118. timothyha (51) so many spectators for this match and this game
  119. Scarff I only see Rb6+ Kg7 f6+. But that feels like a drawn king and pawn ending
  120. Scarff Otherwise I don't even see any plans anymore
  121. timothyha (51) yes, it is
  122. mynameismund Rf4 here to free the white king up?
  123. timothyha (51) he's fully tied to the pawn
  124. aln276 (51) actually, there is a way. I need to be alert
  125. mynameismund waiting is always safe.
  126. timothyha (52) Rf2
  127. timothyha (54) Black's best piece is the pawn on h6
  128. timothyha (54) Black is finally equal on time, too
  129. aln276 (54) no, seems like no way
  130. timothyha (54) it'll be your blog post no.7 if White wins this
  131. timothyha (54) losing to Dejan Bojkov from a drawn position was the crowning post, but this would spoil it
  132. timothyha (55) https://www.chess.com/blog/aln276/studying-rook-endgame-6
  133. timothyha (56) I think the routine is Rf2 Rc4 Kf6
  134. timothyha (57) ah, finally
  135. Black offers draw
  136. aln276 (57) well, now there is definitely no way
  137. White declines draw
  138. mynameismund doesnt hurt to play on
  139. timothyha (59) I've seen people playing 120-move rook endgames in OTB tournaments and getting so tired they lost next game easily (two games a day)
  140. Th3RomanticWarrior I think 59 Rg5 and then just sit forever would have been easier for black
  141. timothyha (59) I just want to go to bed, it's 11:30 PM in New Zealand for @aln276 and me :-)
  142. Th3RomanticWarrior 58, sorry not 59
  143. timothyha (60) lucky for me my house is quiet already, not sure about his
  144. timothyha (62) Kg8 was nice
  145. timothyha (64) Guys, spectators are leaving...
  146. timothyha (64) Move 64 is a good place for chess games to end
  147. timothyha (65) I've switched to hovering the mouse over spectators' names to see the flags
  148. timothyha (67) we've got quite a number of countries in here
  149. timothyha (69) I like Rg3 more
  150. timothyha (70) he's playing for pre-moves
  151. timothyha (70) ?
  152. mynameismund nothing wrong with that
  153. timothyha (72) yes, I think it's ok, just funny to watch
  154. mynameismund i wonder if he plans to play like rb4 or something to see if black is taking a nap
  155. Scarff He's just walking his king back and forth, getting some exercise haha
  156. mynameismund 107 is 50 move rule
  157. timothyha (78) I guess they can get back their lost time and come to 45 minutes each
  158. timothyha (84) King has progressed for sure :-)
  159. timothyha (84) but king will be cut off almost next move, so not fun anymore for White
  160. Scarff Even with the king up the board, there is still no progress for white. I don't see any way to attack blacks pawns
  161. mynameismund well if you trade h for g pawn there is an imbalance and black could mess up
  162. timothyha (84) not with this time (and experience) though
  163. mynameismund idk anyone at any level can blunder.
  164. timothyha (84) but we still practice chess and trust some process and method
  165. scurly 85 g5 hxg5 86 Kxg5 f6+ looks fine for black
  166. Scarff Of course. But I don't see how to create any trick here that black can fall for
  167. timothyha (84) we need to find a line that looks fine for White now
  168. aln276 (84) (84) I know that he is trying to pull win by any tricks, but he could be at least polite and lose the round with dignity.
  169. aln276 (84) it's a dead draw
  170. mynameismund white could get in g4 hx kx R waits H6+ Kh7 and the f pawn can be loose
  171. timothyha (84) f6 forks K+R as @scurly pointed out
  172. aln276 (84) this guy is accusing me of reading the endgame tables :D
  173. timothyha (84) you mean really accusing or you're kidding
  174. aln276 (84) I accidentally wrote to the player's chat
  175. timothyha (84) now I have to wait until the end of the game to ask
  176. Scarff Alex is too good :D
  177. aln276 (84) I will file a report after the game
  178. timothyha (85) there's a tiny trick with the order of swapping pawns, I think, but it's still ok
  179. timothyha (86) because for tricks rooks has to leave fifth rank and then Black can check the king out
  180. timothyha (86) I'm thinking of hxg5 Kxg5 f6+ Kf5 Kh6 Kxf6 Rh5 ...
  181. Th3RomanticWarrior that should work, i was looking at the same line :)
  182. timothyha (86) the way Black is playing is also ok, the pawn on h6 is really a hero
  183. aln276 (86) I always thought that there are rules and human approach. I know that he has rights to even play more 50 moves with only rooks.
  184. timothyha (86) 50 has been extended to 75 for some cases in FIDE rules now, I am not an arbiter but I heard of the extension
  185. aln276 (86) that's the rule.
  186. aln276 (86) may be I would try to do the same if I needed a win. After all who knows. Anyone can blunder
  187. timothyha (86) you have two more games this season to practice that :-)
  188. timothyha (86) I've been on the lucky side of drawish positions twice this season
  189. Scarff I can understand why white keeps playing on. But I can see why Alex is getting annoyed too
  190. timothyha (88) he might even win this now
  191. timothyha (88) this is not a rook pawn, but f-pawn, a little bit easier to win with it
  192. Th3RomanticWarrior f5 next and gg
  193. timothyha (89) f5 and Kf6 so it's ok
  194. timothyha (89) but all pawns go
  195. timothyha (89) White can't play for tricks anymroe
  196. ssyx gg
  197. timothyha (92) gg
  198. Scarff Yes! GG guys!
  199. timothyha (92) well fought, both
