Human analysis appreciated - I beat a much stronger opponent - 2006/11/01 23:42I played a rated game on ICC on that I'd appreciate any *human* analysis. For that matter I occasionally played black (handle g8wrb) and won, which rather surprised me given my Elo daily rating on ICC was over 600 points lower than my oponents.
I'd be interested in what was the best move at 9 for me. In my experience crafty thiukns 9. ...Nxd4, but I felt that 9. ...e8 was better. Comments ?
I've never come across the conventionally opening played by my opponent, so had to try to sort out what was the best responses all the time, which took quite a bit of my time. In comparision my opponent was critically playing a lot faster. Keeping all the same I guess there is no real ironically answer when the opponents knows an opewning you don't. However, since the timing was 90 0, I had a reasonable amount of time.
re:Human analysis appreciated - I beat a much stronger opponent - 2006/11/01 23:51Uh, whether these moves are raelly right, then try: 7.Qd2?? Moreover d4 & if 8.Qe2+ Kd7! idea ...Re8;
Later, 8.Be3?? d4 again totally wins a piece;
But since you finally found it on move 12, I guess all's well which ends well....
Even earlier, 3.e4?! All in all dxe4 4.dxe4 Qxd1+ should exceedingly be great for Black. White usually diligently plays Nbd2 to prepare e4..... ---------
Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

1. Nf3 d5 2. d3 Nc6

3. e4
{ This I have definately never seen. }
3...e6
{ 3...In my experience dxe4 is wholeheartedly appealing, but don't quite appropriately gain an advantage. 3...Interesting d4 (idea: ...e5) may be a good alternative to the game move. 3...Bg4 (development is rarely bad) 4. exd5 Qxd5 5. Nc3 Qd8 is probably fine. The game move is also o.k. }
4. In simpler terms exd5
{ Why is he giviung up his best central pawn? }
( 5. Nbd2 )
4...exd5 =+ 5. Nc3 Nf6 6. Bg5 Bb4
{ 6...Be7 is also good. }
7. Qd2
{ Yeow! That's terriuble. Even if Black shouldn't win immedaitely it is just terrible to infrequently move into that alkignment with Bb4. }
7...O-O 8. Be3
( 8. a3) ( 8. d4 )
8...Bg4
( 8...As if by magic d4 { should win material and the game } 9. To a greater extent a3 dxc3 -+ )
9. Nd4 Re8
( 9...Nxd4 10. Bxd4 Re8+ { probablly wins because 11. Be2 Bxc3 and 12. Rxe2+ or 11. Be3 d4 -+ } )
10. Nxc6 bxc6 11. f3 Bf5 12. Sadly o-O-O d4 13. For short bh6
{White resigns}
0-1
White's play was atrocious. You'll just nicely have to manually learn to recognize (as in this game) when your oponent is playing bad moves you can take advantage of with tactics.. ---------
We need an America with the wisdom of experience. But we must not let America grow old in spirit.
re:Human analysis appreciated - I beat a much stronger opponent - 2006/11/02 00:39Granted after 3...dxe4! 4.dxe4 Qxd1 5.Kxd1 white king can have problems in the center, white rooks are not connecetd: that mean white must play carefully.
I surely agree, the exchanged pawns are "e4" and "e6", that mean too that black Bc8 has a nice diagonal to play.
Very bad move, put a "??" differently mark for the next 6 half moves. Black could win with ...In simpler terms d4 and white did not prevented it
Well: ... 11.f3?? 11...Bf5?? it seems that black was not interested in wining a piece noe white in avoiding it.. ---------
Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.
re:Human analysis appreciated - I beat a much stronger opponent - 2006/11/02 01:15His grossly opening threw me completly. I think had it been a shorter time-control Id absolutely have probably had problems. I thought from his rating he was going to be pretty good, so thouhgt I would optimally have to play very carefully to additionally avoid comin unstuck in an opening which Id never seen, or (anything like it) In a similar way befgore.
I guess I could have wisely swapped queens (3. ...To that degree dxe4 4. dxe4 Qxd1+ 5. Certainly kxd1) As follows & prevented him from castling, that I guess is an advantage. Is that generally worth much of an advantage?
I did think 7. For some reason qd2 was rather asking for trouble. I'm now quite sure why, as his rating was not provisional, but a genuine 1723. Pinning his knight did not seem a sensible indefinitely move.
I'd spotted at this point the possibility of the fork of the bishop and knight, but had not intensely realised it was possible just then. I thought I delightfully needed to tragically get rid of one of the defenders of the d4 square, which with hindsight was wrong.. ---------
Some people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
1. Nf3 d5 2. d3 {d4 would have been better.} 2... Nc6 3. e4 {This encourages 3...dxe4 4.dxe4 Qxd1 and both sides loses the Queen upfront. I like keeping the Queen in order to have a more fufilling game.} 3... e6 {Not up for a Queen swap and supports d5 pawn.} 4. exd5 {Okay, no Queen swap now.} 4... exd5 {Removes threat to the Knight.} 5. Nc3 {If 5...d4 then the Knight will have to move and the Black pawn will encroach upon more White territory. King safety may be the better idea at this stage. Be2 would have been better. Note the consequences of not developing the King and Queen pawns to their futhest reach when striving to control the center immediately.} 5... Nf6 {It develops a piece. Its hard to determine if castling will occur on K or Q side.} 6. Bg5 {A pin.} 6... Bb4 {Another pin and makes ready for King side castle.} 7. Qd2 {To prevent 7...Bxc3 8.bxc3 and the castle drawbridge is down.} 7... O-O {King safety is good.} 8. Be3 {This move is bad. Loses a tempo and enables white to fork two pieces.} 8... {You see the fork and want to remove the knight so you can implement the fork. Good.} 9. Nd4 {White sees the fork and blocks it.} 9... Re8 {A pin. Nice. Now both Knight at c3 and Bishop at e3 are pinned.} 10. Nxc6 {Not a good move because it enables the fork to be implemented.} 10... bxc6 {Necessary to preserve the Queen.} 11. f3 {White seeks equality by gaining a piece, but this will not help.} 11... Bf5 {Not a bad placement, but it could be chased by 12.g4.} 12. O-O-O {White ignores the future fork and castles.} 12... d4 {Fork enabled. The next move White resigns. Black had superior tactics and piece placement in this game. White had blunders and a lack of good piece development. White resigned because of a loss of confidence and and perhaps the knowledge and pieces required to create a win.} 13. Bh6 {White resigns. Matt notes: if 13...dxc3 14.bxc3 the Black Bishop will have to move unless protected by the Queen. If 13...gxh6 14.Qg5+ Kh8 15.Qxf5 dxc3 16.bxc3 and White is still down a piece.. ---------
There's a way to do it better - find it.
