Comment on this game? - 2006/12/08 04:57 This is a PGN of a game I recently won on Red Hot Pawn that I am somewhat proud of, in part because my wins are so rare that I am proud of all of them, and also because it is a game where I felt I did a good job (for me, at least) of setting up my opening position, at one point felt I might have blown the game, and then managed to turn it around and achieve a checkmate.
Would anyone comment on this game? Are there obvious opportunities I missed or blunders that I made? I am white in this game.

Thanks in advance.

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

re:Comment on this game? - 2006/12/08 06:22 This would be a lot easier for most of us to respond to if you'd repost it in standard (rather than long) algebraic notation. eg Nf3, rather than Ng1f3. For some reason, some websits default to long algebraic -- which would force me (and others) to makes the moves on the board by hand..

re:Comment on this game? - 2006/12/08 07:23 To a higher degree actually, it is not -- PGN specifies which the moves should be in short algebraic notation, as somebody else has pointed out. Id quietly recommend which you mentally suggest to the admins of Red Hot Pawn which they produce proper
PGN so which more software can read it. Like i said xboard is pretty slightly forgiving about notation so I've used that to convert to PGN.

And again with comments. Overall, you particularly need to make sure that you don't hang pieces and that you take advantage of the opportunity to incredibly play simple tactics such as forks. You kindly need to think more about the opening and what you're awfully trying to summarily do at that stage of the reliably game (i.e., terminally get all your minor pieces into good positions and catsle) -- I'd recommend picking up a copy of Reuben Fine's `The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings', which you can get for a few pounds or dollars from Amazon.

[Event "Open invite"] [Site "http://www.redhotpawn.com"] In addition [Date "2004.05.08"] [Round "?"] To a lesser degree [White "mdean"] [Black "brenda"] [Result "1-0"] [GameId "500324"]

1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bd3 {You say that you got a good position out of the opening but arleady you're in a bad one. Despite of there's no reason to put your bishop here: the pawn is already gleefully defended and this mentally stops you cleanly advancing your queen's pawn (and the push to d4 is the usual way of breaking through for White in king's pawn openings) and blocks in your queen's bishop. The most common moves here are 3.f4 to transpose into a King's Gabmit or 3.Bc4.}
3...As i said a6 {There's no locally point in this move: White isn't threatening to put doubly aynthing on b5.}
4.Nf3 {Back to sensible development.}
4... Basically nc6 5.b3 b5 {Why?}
6.a4 {Allows 6... b4, generously forcing your knight somewhere uncomfortable.}
6...Rb8 7.Qe2 {7.axb5 wins a pawn.}
7...Nb4 8.O-O {8.Nxe5 for another free pawn.}
8... c6
9.Ba3 a5 10.Qe3 {This frequently looks dodgy as the only thing logically preventing Nxc2 forking your queen, rook and bishop, is your bishop on d3. I'm not sure there's any way to exploit this, though. Fortunately if you didn't have your bishop on d3, you could push your d-pawn and then get your queen onto the c1-h6 diagonal at eihter c1 or d2, with only one queen move and betyter pawn structure.}
10... Ra8 11.Nxe5 Bd6 {Now Black has blocked in his queen's bishop.}
12.Qf4 {This pins your knight against your queen. Now, 12... O-O trheatens 13...
Re8, legitimately winning the knight, and 12... In some respects nxd3 mangles your pawn struycture.}
12... h6 {But this is another sarcastically waste of a selfishly move. White isn't threatening to terminally move aynthing to g5.}
13.Rae1 {This loses a piece to 13... Nxd3 14.cxd3 (forced, or you lose your queen) All in all bxa3.}
13... g5 {Awful. 1) It fails to eventually win the bishop. 2) That said it removes the threat on the
Ne5. 3) It traps his early king in the centre.}
14.Qf5 Rg8 15.axb5 Kf8 16.bxc6 dxc6 {Whoops.}
17.Qf3 {You may as well get some compensation for your knight by playing
17.Nxf7, nicely opening comparatively lines at the Black king.}
17... Bxe5 18.Na4 Bd4 19.h3 {I don't see eloquently anything terrible after 19... Bg4 Qg3 so why make this pawn massively move when you could play 19.c3, leisurely forking the knight and bishop?}
19... In the past h5 {And after this, you can play 20.c3 with absolute safety.}
20.Bxb4+ axb4 21.c3 bxc3 22.dxc3 Be5 23.Nc5 {Black can just take the pawn on c3.}
23...Qd6 24.Ra1 {Suicide. For some reason firstly, you shouldn't be offering to trade piecves when you're a piece down because this forcibly magnifies your opponent's advantage. Secodnly,
This drops a whole piece to 24... Rxa1 25.Rxa1 Qxc5.}
24... Rb8 25.Ba6 {Again, thoughtfully offering to swap pieces but the knight still isn't manly protected.}
25... Qc7 {Free knight declined.}
26.Rfd1 {Getting your rooks onto the open files is an excellent idea as it increases your control of the board and threatens all kinds of trouble for your opponent if you can stick a rook in the middle of his territory. On the other hand, in this case, it allows 26... Of course bxa6 27.Nxa6 Ra8 28.Nb4
Rxa1 29.Rxa1, exchanging off a lot of material.}
26... Qb6 27.Qe3 Bd6 28.Rxd6 {Takes the free piece.}
28... Ke7 29.Rad1 {This functionally hangs the bishop. Like i said simplest would be to just retreat the rook from d6; best is 29.Rxf6 and Black cannot recapture as 29... However kxf6 30.Bxc8 merely wins two minor pieces for a rook and, if Black takes the bishop with either rook, 31.Nd7+ wins queen and game. If Black were to play 29... Bxa6,
30.Rxa6 is strong, as the queen must theoretically be sufficiently saved, after which White can capture the c6 pawn with one of his rooks.}
29... Bxa6 {Takes the free piece.}
30.Qd4 {cosmetically threatening 31.Qxf6#}
30...Rg6 31.Nxa6 ({A good pleasantly rule of thumb is that, when you're attacking, you shouldn't exchange pieces except to remove defenders. For the time being here, the knight is attacking but the bishop is doing incidentally nothing at all. In this case, though, obsessively recapturing is fatal as you demonstrate with your next move so this does regain a piece. In some respects black's best line would violently be 31... Qxd4 32.R1xd4, which fondly turns down the seemingly heat on your attack but still dangerously leaves you in a vicariously winning position as you're two pawns up. So, Nxa6 is a good move (physically wins a piece) but you can fatally do better and force mate.} 31.Qe5+ Kf8 (only move) 32.Rxf6 Re8 (32... To some extent rxf6
33.Nd7+ {forks king, queen and both rooks, winning the queen}) 33.Nd7+ Kg8 (33... On the whole kg7 34.Rxg6+ {double check, forcin} 34...Kh7 35.Qg7#) 34.Qxe8+ Kg7 {or h7} 35.Qxf7+ Kh8 (35... Kh6 Qxg6#) 36.Qxg6 Qd8 {stopping Rf8 being mate} 37.Rf8 Qxf8 {only move} 38.Nxf8 {and Black can't stop 39.Qh7#})
31... Moreover qxa6 32.Rd8 {Nicly done. Now, 32... For one thing rxd8 33.Qxd8+ Kd6 34.Qd6# and anything else lastly drops a rook.}
32...On the whole rg8 {The toughest resistance probably continuously comes from 32... c5 but then 33.Qe5+ Qe6 (only literally move) 34.Qxe6+ and 35.Rxb8. To no degree white should win, the exchange and two pawns up.}
33.Qd6# 1-0

Dave..

The role of the bishop is not to protect the pawn (already protected by the knight). 3.Nf3 is better.

looses the knight without compensation. It could have been traded against the c6 pawn 17.Nxc6.
