Instead of 8... Bg5, perhaps B-d7. Allows for recapture with the Bishop if B-b5 and BxN.
9.Nbd2 - allows white to break the pin after Qc1 without giving black the option of capturing the N and doubling the f pawns. However, it ultimately traps the bishop.
13... p-b5. Should have played R-e8 first. The bishop wasn't going anywhere.
17. p-f3 BxP 18. PxB N-g5 (threatening NxP+ forking the rook) 19.R-f1 Q-c7. Don't know if black can maintain the momentum though.
20. R-h4. White would have been better staying on the E file.
32. Not ... K-h6 33.Q-e5+ K-h5 34.B-f4+ k-h4 35. Q-g5#
Chris, you're right. I think both of us didn't see it because we (or at least I) stopped my mental analysis after KxR. I figured that ends that line so worry about something else. Wrong.
Are you coming to the library on Thursday, April 14th?
THE TWINSBURG CHESS CLUB Twinsburg, Ohio
A chess club for all ages and levels. We play casual games every Saturday. We meet at the Twinsburg Public Library Summer hours 10:00 - 2:00 Non-Summer Hours 2:00 - 6:00.
This site is dedicated to the exploration of chess. I plan to post games that have been played at our club and present them in a format that will allow all of us to review and analyze our games. Feel free to email the moves from your games and I will post them. Just include who played white and who played black and I will put it into a viewer.
This way we can all get a chance to revisit our games and provide each other feedback and learn from each other.

9...Nbd2. It doesn't trap the bishop as I previously wrote. White could still play p-e4 or even p-b4. But I think he needs to do it by move 11
ReplyDeleteI think white had a mate in 3 at 26.

27 Qh4+ Kg8
28 Qh8#
These can be tough to see.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the analysis.
