Chess Match: Shady Bill vs. Skybird

Shady Bill · 10-12-22, 08:51 AM

11.Bd3xc4

I am crippled with fear pretty much, staring at this position. It really shows that one bad move, can completely alter things almost instantly.
I have few options obviously and I am not seeing the intricacies of not capturing and instead running. I feel this might be better, but there are few places to go and I just don't see the move order.

I almost feel my move is forced. I also know Skybird has calculated this move to the nth degree. We are now playing on his terms, which is very bad. I lose on his terms.
I played the above move through to the end. I think it is bad, but not horrible. My center is gone. I am very worried I am not seeing it. Just not seeing the right move

This is the worse feeling for me, not losing, but being frozen in time, staring at the board for something you just can't see.

Here we go boys! Grab your shovels!!

Actually only 4-5 (full) moves, and much is more or less enforced, as you said.

Fisher was a strange cosmological phenomenon, which should be treated less in chess books and more in physics books.

In fact, I think he recognized a chess position with quite different eyes and cognitive perception patterns than the rest of us. After all, he ticked a little differently in other respects, too.

You seem very eager about Nd7xe5

You are on a bit of a roll I will admit...

but I will make you fight for it Skybird...there will be blood

<---- pointy like a pin

I used to be obsessed with double fianchetto. It creates really interesting and sharp game play. Your Bg7 has been a thorn in my side since you made the move.

Btw I want to point out I assume you mean Nd7xe5

Skybird · 10-12-22, 01:32 PM

Oh fohk!

Yes, of course Nd7xe5. My fault.

My apologies for this. I correct the move-post.

Could you believe it? I just overlooked Qd4: . It never appeared on my radar screen. Lucky me it has no hurting consequences...

Skybird · 10-12-22, 01:47 PM

Luxurious life now. I have Le5:, Qc7 and Qa5+ as options, the first two opens cans not of worms but further threats, where as the last one feels too tame a bit at first glance. The other two I need to calculate deeper.

After 12. Qd4:

Skybird · 10-12-22, 03:31 PM

your move 12. Qd1xd4 my move 12. ... / Qd8-c7

That pawn won't run away, lets make it a bit more complicated first before murdering him.

I even considered 12.../Nd6, but after 13.f4/Nc4: 14.Qc4: I did not see my action leading anywhere near the white king that would justify to let that pawn escape.

Thats it for tonight.

Shady Bill · 10-12-22, 09:01 PM

13.f3-f4

the move I should have made a bit ago. I am starting to worry about my rook on a1. Once e5 is gone, that could get ugly quick...

Time for bed, see you tomorrow.
