Apr-11-07    Knight13: Albin Countergambit has a reputation for being a bad opening... But... V Neverov vs R Strohhaeker, 2007 Jun-05-07    Silverstrike: White: John Calder Black: Julius Schwartz Event: Edinburgh Chess Congress Challengers (U-1900) Date: 15/4/'07 Board: 7 Round: 4 White ELO: 1815 Black ELO: 1647 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.g3 Bf5 6.Bg2 Qd7 7.0-0 0-0-0 8.Bd2 f6 9.Qb3 Bh3 10.exf6 Nxf6 11.Ne5 Qe6 12.Nxc6 bxc6 13.c5 Qd7 14.Qa4 Bxg2 15.Kxg2 Bxc5 16.Rc1 Qd5+ 17.f3 Kd7 18.Qc2 Bb6 19.a4 a5 20.b4 Rde8 21.Qd3 Ng4 22.bxa5 Be3+ 23.Kg1 Ba7 24.Na3 g5 25.Nc4 Ng4 26.fxg4 Rhf8 27.Rab1 Rxe2 28.Qxe2 d3+ 29.Qe3 Bxe3+ 30.Nxe3 Qd4 31.Rc4 Qa7 Draw agreed click for larger view I'm fairly convinced I had the advantage in this game, but I didn't exploit it. My idea behind 25...Ng4 was 26.fxg4 Rxe2 27.Qxe2 d3+ but as I came back to the board I realised that 26...Rxe2 would fail to 27.Qf5+ (He would have still ended up with more material than I had he taken the rook, as eventually happened in the game). I believe the game is won for him at the end, I was very lucky to escape with a draw. Jun-05-07    MaxxLange: I agree, White looks much better in the diagram. He has some discomfort due to the pin, but can't he just play Kg2 (to break the pin and guard against ...Rf3), then Rcb4, Rb7, and push the a-pawns? Jun-05-07    Silverstrike: <MaxxLange> That seems to be one of many ways to win the diagramed position. It does indeed look won for white. Jun-06-07    MaxxLange: Fritz 10 likes Rc3 or even Rb3 - Black cannot hold that pawn, and it falls with check and with defense of the e3 Knight on the 3rd rank. If my move, 1. Kg2, is played, then Fritz says 1...Re8 2. Kf3 Rf8+ 3. Nf5 and White is still winning He may have gotten nervous, playing without a Queen, or seen some kind of ghost. You psyched him out, playing with confidence even after your blunder.
