Mar-21-19 | | Ulhumbrus: 25...Ba4 threatens ...Bc2 |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | offramp: After seeing Alpha Zero's games I now agree with that old phrase that "The worst bishop is better than the best knight." |
|
Mar-21-19 | | Ulhumbrus: If White can reply to 25...Ba4 with 26 Nc5 this suggests preparing ...Ba4 by playing 25...b6 first. |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | offramp: After 25...Ba4 Black is threatening to win a pawn with ...Bc2. |
|
Mar-21-19 | | Ulhumbrus: After 26...Bc6 White's N on e4 seems not to be able to do much while Black's bishop seems considerably more threatening |
|
Mar-21-19 | | Ulhumbrus: If Black does not play 27...Ne3 White may play 28 Nc4. |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | Sally Simpson: A flurry of moves just now. Knights on e4 and c4 but will it repeat out to a draw. |
|
Mar-21-19 | | Ulhumbrus: Black's king's rook is out of play. If after 29...Rxc1 30 Rxc1 White is playing a rook ahead on the queen side this suggests that Black may get into trouble. This suggests that 29...Rc6-c8! is a good decision. |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | Sally Simpson: Waiting to see White's frame of mind.
Does he offer 3 fold draw with Nc4 or play something else. |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | Sally Simpson: White has gone back to c4...clock here looks bad for Black...draw? |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | Sally Simpson: He has gone Ke2...mind games v an opponent in T.T. (if the times here are correct.) but now b5 means the Knight cannot go back to c4. |
|
Mar-21-19 | | Ulhumbrus: 33...Ne3 attacks the g2 pawn |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | HeMateMe: white can lose if he opens up the kingside. he can't allow that Knight to get to e3. I would guess a handshake is coming soon. |
|
Mar-21-19 | | yiotta: No handshake--no handshake! |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | Sally Simpson:  click for larger viewNc6+ Ke8 Nf6+ Kf8 then move the c6 Knight and there is a hook mate/perpetual (not sure) in there. |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | HeMateMe: I think opening up the game favored black. He now has several targets on the board. |
|
Mar-21-19 | | Russo: Talk about a cliff hanger. |
|
Mar-21-19 | | BOSTER: White wins an exchange. |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | Sally Simpson: I thought so, now it's closer to the position I was thinking about the BK has h6 and I do not think White can force the BK onto e7 with Rh8+ and Rh7+ it's a hook mate perpetual. (a term I've just made up). |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | Sally Simpson: ***
What's bugging me is why here
 click for larger view43...Nxd4 which leads to the same idea.
Does 43...Na7 allow a later Nc8-e7 and a mate in there. *** |
|
Mar-21-19 | | ChessHigherCat: White has a perpet with Ng4 and whether the King goes to h5 or h7, Nf3 |
|
Mar-21-19 | | ChessHigherCat: Sorry, Nf6 |
|
Mar-21-19
 | | Sally Simpson: It's gone that way with Nc8. The f5 Knight stops every trick I can see. White has a 3 fold rep when ever he wants. Is he fishing for a panic blunder. |
|
Mar-21-19 | | ChessHigherCat: It turned into a draw faster than you can say "Varuzhan Eduardovich Akobian" after drinking a couple pints of scotch. |
|
Mar-21-19 | | BOSTER: With white pawn on g5 insted e5 the picture was more interesting. |
