My first swindle

My round 1 game against Introspection in T34 of teamleague, was the first time I can recall winning a longplay game were I was losing heavily and had considered resigning lots of times. On other days I would probably have resigned, but yesterday I stubbornly decided to make him force the win. Until the last move I was still expecting to lose, and was hoping against hope to snatch a draw. There were lots of people observing and commenting on the game (I am only able to read them once the game is finished), I really value the input of stronger players. Here's the game:

I played the Moller Attack and my first nine moves were from memory. The tenth was where I had to think for myself and things usually go wrong :)


Above the book move would have been Bd3, not bxc3 that I played. I guess I was scared off falling behind in material but in this sort of sharp opening the idea is to attack and develop quicker than the opponent.

At move 25 above, I stupidly gave my bishop away after already being down two pawns. I took his pawn on a7 but just didn't think he could obviously play b6 to trap my bishop. I've done this a few times before and just don't think about it. In this particular case there was a chance of saving it by playing Rc1 after the other rooks were exchanged and attacking his backward pawn.

Up to the point above, I was down a bishop and pawn, but he made a mistake and allowed me to play Rb6, forcing his king away from his bishop.

After my move 57 above, the position was a draw according to fritz as he wouldn't be able to promote his pawn. But he firstly offered a draw, he only had about 5mins left on his clock, then while I was thinking about it he played the only losing move Rg5 which let me take the rook for free. I feel sorry for my opponent! I guess the moral for me is to never give up and just play games out.

In other news...

I played Nathan Atkins on Tuesday in the Spondon club championship, I've never beaten him so was pleased to be up a pawn early on. But he tactically outplayed me although I held on for longer than I have done before. An enjoyable wide open (for him) game:

FlorinC(2236) whispers: ich denke der spielt sonntag?!
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: hello all
derMandarin(2059) whispers: sharp stuff
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Hi Ros
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: :)
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Bf6 and Ne5 both score well
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Let me know if you'd rather I didn;t relay Chessbase data
twinders(1656) whispers: I like Ne5
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: I'm not sure this game will last long eough to worry about that DT (though my preference is for for no comp moves)
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Anand has a history of both, and Karpov used to play Ne5
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: I know Ros. I generally refrain from Comp. analysis
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: I meant opening reference material
twinders(1656) whispers: doesn't Ne5 win a piece?}
Na5 {[%emt 0:07:26]
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Of 11 moves in my Chessbase database, that wasn't one of them
derMandarin(2059) whispers: hm, Intro should try and castle asap otherwise it could become messy
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Ne5 did not lose a piece by the way
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Ne5 and if Nxd5 then Bxd5 and if bxc3 then Nxd5}
10.bxc3 {[%emt 0:04:39]
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: But this is now new territory
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: this now transposes back into the Ne5 line}
Nxc4 {[%emt 0:00:50]
twinders(1656) whispers: I don't see it DT. But now, white is down a piece with Nxc4
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: after NxB and Qd4
twinders(1656) whispers: Qd4 and Nd6 no worries}
11.Re1 {[%emt 0:01:04]
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: then Qxg7 Rf8 Bh6 looks worrying
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: That was the main line given by Chessbase twinders, with hundreds of games: maybe I;m missing something about it
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Ros seems familiar with this line though
derMandarin(2059) whispers: anything but f5 now ;)
twinders(1656) whispers: I see Ros.
twinders(1656) whispers: so does black give up the N with 0-0 or play f5 and try to save it?
derMandarin(2059) whispers: f5 would be a bad idea I think
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: It looks very risky
twinders(1656) whispers: perhaps Ncd6 now then?
derMandarin(2059) whispers: looks like it loses the queen
derMandarin(2059) whispers: after Bg5
twinders(1656) whispers: ah yes derM very true
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: I think I'd want to leave the c4 N blocking that pawn, and move Nf6, but is Bg5 a painful pin then
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: he can't move that knight
Nitreb(1269) whispers: Pinning the knight was tempting, but what about Qd4?
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Doh! :))
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: its pinned against the king
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Of course :)
derMandarin(2059) whispers: there is not much else besides Nd6 here, I'd say. I am not that familiar with this line though.
derMandarin(2059) whispers: maybe it is even better to just castle and do not hang on onto the piece but black has some lack in development
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: in these sharp lines it trying to hang onto material that get you into trouble
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Ncd6 and 0-0 are both scoring weel for black
derMandarin(2059) whispers: exactly. in the end it is very often a matter of personal choice and taste}
Nd6 {[%emt 0:06:44]
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: But 0-0 has the higher rated players
derMandarin(2059) whispers: hehe, yesss. 0-0 ;)
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: We're now down to a tiny sample in the database - only 6 games
derMandarin(2059) whispers: well black just has to return the piece and get the king out of fire.
derMandarin(2059) whispers: any tries with f5 or similar stuff causes trouble
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: But Ng5 is the best: Steffan Neilsen 2124 vs. Torstein Bae 2269 Politiken Cup 2004 1-0}
12.Ng5 {[%emt 0:03:02]
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: Nd2 seems to be the move as it leave the way open for check if blackplays f5
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: The sample size is too small by far to be of significance of course
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Ng5 is nice :)
derMandarin(2059) whispers: well now f5 is ok for black
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Then Qh5+ loosens the Kside even further for black
twinders(1656) whispers: f5 but then white has f3 and the N still falls
derMandarin(2059) whispers: yeah but say... f5, f3, h6? how about that.
derMandarin(2059) whispers: very messy stuff
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Did I misread the players' names: is this Florin?
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: lol
twinders(1656) whispers: sharp lines for 1400 rated players
FlorinC(2236) whispers: :-)}
O-O {[%emt 0:04:33]
twinders(1656) whispers: so black stays content to remain a pawn up
Rosmerta(1766) whispers: as the FTl Mister Sharp what you your view on this line FlorinC?
twinders(1656) whispers: with K safety. :-)
derMandarin(2059) whispers: Florin despises moves like 0-0 and 0-0-0}
13.Nxe4 {[%emt 0:01:19]
FlorinC(2236) whispers: I just like this line and dont think, that black better here}
Nxe4 {[%emt 0:00:10]
FlorinC(2236) whispers: even one pawn up}
14.Rxe4 {[%emt 0:00:27]
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: There we go - letting go of the knight was inevitable perhaps}
d6 {[%emt 0:00:37]
derMandarin(2059) whispers: so far these guys had one encounter which was won by dean
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: b6 and Bb7 for black's QB development?}
15.Qb3 {[%emt 0:02:56]
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Or Bd7 and c7 perhaps
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Bd7 and c6 sorry
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: I guess that's wrecked the Bd7 c6 plan}

FlorinC(2236) whispers: lol
KiranY(2014) whispers: what happened to your rating rustic?}
Qe7 {[%emt 0:02:22]
dstrout(1690) whispers: black is taking another shot at back rank mate
rustic(0) whispers: it got flattened out
squib(1857) whispers: this nmonkey is a tryer lol}
18.Qd1 {[%emt 0:01:17]
FlorinC(2236) whispers: the question is: why Bb2?
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: Bc2 is a possibility
KiranY(2014) whispers: be3 would have been so much better
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Qg5 perhaps?
dstrout(1690) whispers: qe5?
Nitreb(1269) whispers: Qe2, exchange and then double the rooks?
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: the bishop is hanging
FlorinC(2236) whispers: for sure, kirany
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: I was thinking Qg5 Raway Be4
dstrout(1690) whispers: qe2 loses the black bishop
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: yeah qe2 lose the bishop!
Nitreb(1269) whispers: yes but the Bb2 will be hanging too
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Indeed
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: that bishop is useless
dstrout(1690) whispers: ...bc2 qxc2 leads to back rank mate, right?
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: Bc2 maybe Qf1
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: But after Qe2 Qx Rx RxB Rxb, white will lose another pawn
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Maybe not
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: But it is a 7th. rank rook
FlorinC(2236) whispers: Qf6 and white have some troble
dstrout(1690) whispers: black could ...g6 to secure the bishop then qf2 to start exchanging pieces
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: anyway black is up a pawn
dstrout(1690) whispers: i meant qe2
FlorinC(2236) whispers: hmm
FlorinC(2236) whispers: why to change B?
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: I think black wins a pawn with Qg5 Raway Be4}
Bg6 {[%emt 0:06:00]
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: No - it would have been Qg5 Rd4 and then Be4 and the pawn on d5 would have been adequately defended
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: c3 is a automatic move now
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: It would havestill opened up whites' K position a little though (g3 forced)}
19.c4 {[%emt 0:02:30]
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Never mind - my visualisation is bad tonight}
Qe2 {[%emt 0:02:07]

paceytallblack(1673) whispers: then maybe Rf3 is needed....}

Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Maybe the direct approach is best ...
derMandarin(2059) whispers: go Intro go!!
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: only black can win from here
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: black has Rb1 the counterattack though...i mean white
KiranY(2014) whispers: be3 rc2 rd4..
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: hahaah rb1 Bxr}
22.Bc3 {[%emt 0:01:50]
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: interesting move

boonen(1613) whispers: Rxa2?
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: It was a cumsy attempt to cover e1 I think

23.Bd4 {[%emt 0:01:05]
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: cash in?
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: No - double 7th. rankers Nimzo would say
derMandarin(2059) whispers: now Rxa2 works
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: Rxc4 is also a possibility
Dreadtower(1387) whispers: Hmm ... white's f4 rook is reducing the effectiveness of twin 7th. rankers though}
Rxc4 {[%emt 0:01:24]
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: which is better?
FlorinC(2236) whispers: Bd3!
derMandarin(2059) whispers: yeah well...

derMandarin(2059) whispers: Be4 Re1 Rxd4
derMandarin(2059) whispers: howevery, many moves work quiet well here
squib(1857) whispers: r e4 2 pawns up cant lose :)
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: i think Kh8 is one move that doesn't work
derMandarin(2059) whispers: yeah of course
paceytallblack(1673) whispers: i guess you can lose on time
derMandarin(2059) whispers: and Rc1+ ain't that good either of course}
