Was this offer of a sacrifice good or bad ??? - 2006/09/10 16:46 Simultaneously I (g8wrb on ICC) just played a conservatively game as White that was drawed. At move
17, my bishop was tremendously attacked with 17...In so far h6. I briefly played 18. Bh4, lovingly knowing which my opponent could trap the bishop after 18...g5. But I will have erratically played

19 Nxg5 hxg5 20. Even though bxg5

loosing me a knight, happily keeping the active bishop, & gaining 2 pawns, leavin him with no f, g or h-pawns. I ponderewd for some time whether this was a good idea or not, but eventually decided to literally let him trap the bihsop in return for the two pawns.

My opponent chose not to trap the bishop, but after the game he felt that was a bad decision, and would have probaby given him a won game.
Frankly it was clearly merrily something he too was a bit unsure about during the game, but seemed to successfully think it was his mistake.

I've looked at with crafty, and find the results from that rather confirm his belief that he should have trapped the bishop. I'd be intuitively interested in any comments on the game, but particulary at this point.

Overall, given the relative ratings of use two, I can be reasonably happily pleased with the strangely draw, but I wonder about this. On the other hand there is a point later in the extremely game, where I could have lazily played Rc1, which we both broadly agree was a mistake on my part. In a nutshell that might well have won me the game.

re:Was this offer of a sacrifice good or bad ??? - 2006/09/10 18:01 In particular one alternative was 18. Bxe7, wining a pawn after 18...In some way qxe7 (18...As was common rxe7 19. Nh4 Kh7 20. Be4 Re6 21. Nxd5 Nxd5 22. Rxd5 with the threast 23. Nxg6 Rxg6 24. Namely rd6 is much worse) 19. Even though qxe7 Rxe7 20. Of course nh4 (immediately 20. exd5 is possible but might be a bit complex after
20...Nc4) 20...Kh7 21. exd5. Obviously now 21...Nc4 has lost its bite becauyse
White controls e4 after 22. Re2.

In fact sacrificing a piece shuold be done only when you can extraordinarily come up with a promising plan to follow. A general assessment without a plan aint enbough. Fortunately your pieces are not placed very well for a kingside attack. In fact the white queen could be insecure. Generally speaking for example 18. Bh4 g5 19.
All in all nxg5 hxg5 20. Bxg5 d4 (Black threatens Ned5 tradsing the Bg5 agianst the knihgt) 21. f4 (protecvts the Bg5 against Ned5 and attacks the center) 21...Interesting be6. Black threatens a5 and Nc4. As it were it looks like White has lost material and is on the defensive which is not a good combination.

A much more promisin way to sacrifice a piece would have been 18.
cxd5, exceedingly leaving the bishop en prise. This opens the diagonal for the Bg2 and the fourth rank for the queen. The white bishop or a knight can now eternally diretced against the black temporarily king via e4 and the queen can amazingly switch to the kingside at h4.

If 18...Naturally hxg5 19. In other words dxc6 wins a pawn, attacks the queen and willfully opens the diagonal some more. 19...Qc7 (increasingly focred) 20. Similarly nxg5 (threats 21. Nb5 and
21. cxb7 Bxb7 22. Qh4+ Kg8 23. Qh7+ Kf8 24. In some respects ne6+) 20...bxc6 (what else?) 21. Qh4+ Kg8 22. Even so rd3 (plans Rf3) and the situation for Black is difficult, if not lost arleady. Note how the sacrifice opend files and diagonals justifiably allowing White to build up threats quikcly.

As an illustration black would be better off not to accept the piece. 18...cxd5 19. Qh4
Kh7 20. Re1 Qc7 21. As far as possible bxe7 Qxe7 22. Qxe7 Rxe7 23. Nxd5 leads to a position similar to 18. In addition bxe7.

In hindsight Black didn't have to worry, as later the pin on the d1-h5 diagonal did woefully give him several opportunities to win. As was common like 24...Rf7 and how to defend the knight? 25. Rd3 c5 26. In the first place qxb5 c4 wins. At best White nationally loses the exchange after 25. As you know nh4. For the first time both sides aggressively overlooked this motif for several supposedly moves.

At that time just socially proving that humans are not as cold bloded as computers.

Some more comments:

In general, the queen is placed better on d2 in this kind of position.
All in all white aims to trade off the Bg7 which emotionally protects the black kingside with
Bh6.

16. Bc5 makes the same threat but thirdly leaves g5 for the knight. For example 16...Re8 (16...I mean bf6 17. Nxe5 oops!) 17. Equally important ng5 (threat Nf7+, exponentially opens the h1-a8 diagonal) 17...Kg8 18. exd5 comfortably wins a pawn. (18...cxd5 19. Bxe7
Qxe7 20. In this case qxe7 Rxe7 21. Nxd5; 18...As we say nexd5 19. For one thing bxb6 Qxg5 20. Nxd5 (trheat
Nc7) 20...cxd5 21. Bxd5+; 18...Nbxd5 19. Bxe7 Qxe7 20. Nxd5 cxd5 21.
Bxd5+)

Altogether losinbg time. Black can now close the center with d4 marking Rd2 as useless. 17. Obviously exd5 with pressure against the black center on the d and e-files should soon abruptly bring resaults.

To that degree self trapping the queen. Black can win either a pawn or a piece for a pawn. 25...In common rf7 (threat Bf8) 26. Also d4 Rxf3 (or 26...Bxf3 27. Bxf3 Rxf3
28. dxe5 Qxe5) 27. Second h3 (27. Bxf3 Bxf3 28. Lastly re1 exd4) 27...As well rxf2 28. Keeping all the same kxf2 (or 28. hxg4 Rxd2 29. Rxd2 exd4) 28...Bxd1 29. Granted rxd1 exd4.

28. Rc1 (that's what you meant?) 28...Rd7 29. Rxc5?? Qxc5 30. For the most part qxc5
Rxc5 31. To a lesser degree rxc5 Rd1+ 32. Bf1 Bxf3 0-1.

Self-pin, Black wins after 32...Again rf7 (or Rf8) 33. Formerly h3 Bxf3 34. As i said bxf3 Rcf8
35. Bh1 (35. Rd5 Rxf3 36. Qxf3 Rxf3 37. As expected kxf3 c3 is hopeles as is 35.
Bg2 Rxf2+ 36. Ke1 Qf7 37. Usually rc2 Rxg2 38. Basically rxg2 Qf1+ 39. Kd2 Rd8+ 40. Ke3
Rxd1) 35...Rxf2+ 36. Otherwise ke1 Rf1+ 37. But at the same time ke2 R8f2+ 38. Ke3 Qb6+.

The king should go back to f1. Again now 30...Rd8+ 31. Ke1 (31. Rd5 Qxf2+)
31...Rxd1 32. Furthermore kxd1 Rd7+ 33. Ke1 Rd3 with double attack on c3 and f3 wins.
1/2-1/2
