Kramnik lost to Anand today at Corus :( Carlsen now leads by half a point with one round to go. And Carlsen plays one of the lower-rated players tomorrow... Looks like he's gonna win Corus this year.

Lol he played that against me too. It's probably his anti-Sicilian line. I'm doing okay in that game though. :)
That'd be funny if it were his anti-Sicilian, since basically the position in our game now looks almost exactly like the Najdorf :laugh:

I promise I'm not getting anything.

Caruana still has it against Carlsen it seems.

Yeah, I kinda give up as far as this tourney goes. I'm already not moving on, so I don't see why I should try in my remaining games.

Speaking of which I just got triple forked by a knight. It got my queen and two rooks.

Man I suck. XD

Analysis of my game vs. OlimarFan is finally done! After like over a day, lol. Here it is:

EDIT: The text in white is the actual game, and text in red is computer given variations. It would probably be better the other way around, but I'm too lazy to fix it now:p

ru5514n (1759) vs. OlimarFan (2049)
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 e6 7. f3 Be7 8. Be2 O-O 9. Qd2 Bd7 10. O-O-O Nc6 11. g4 Nxd4 12. Bxd4 Bc6 13. Bxf6?!

Like OlimarFan pointed out, this was an inaccuracy on my part. I'm now -0.39, which actually isn't too bad, but before that, I was about 0.20.

( 13. Qe1 Rc8 14. Kb1 d5 15. Ka1 Qc7 16. g5 Nh5 17. exd5 exd5 )
The computer calls the resultant position, quote, "drawish."

( 13. Bxf6 Bxf6 14. Qxd6 Qa5 15. Kb1 Rfd8 16. Qf4 Bxc3 17. bxc3 Qxc3 )
In this line, Black has a slight advantage.

13... Bxf6 14. Qxd6 Qb6 15. Qd2?!
Again, an inaccuracy on my part, though not a severe one. The computer evaluates Black to be at a slight advantage (-0.7) here.

( 15. Rd3 h5 16. gxh5 Rfd8 17. Qa3 Rxd3 18. Bxd3 Qf2 19. Rd1 Qxf3 )
Apparently, this is drawish, but I'd certainly prefer to be Black here.

( 15. Qd2 Rac8 16. Qf4 Bxc3 17. bxc3 Qa5 18. Bd3 Qxc3 19. e5 Qa1+ 20. Kd2 Qxa2 )
Here black has a slight advantage.

15... Rfd8 16. Bd3?!
A third inaccuracy. This makes me wonder just how many mistakes I make in my games that go unnoticed.

( 16. Qf4 Bxc3 17. bxc3 e5 18. Qg5 h6 19. Qe7 Qe3+ 20. Kb2 Rxd1 21. Bxd1 Qb6+ 22. Ka1 )
Yet another line in which OlimarFan has a slight advantage.

( 16. Bd3 Rac8 17. Qf4 Bxc3 18. bxc3 Bd7 19. c4 Ba4 20. e5 g6 )
The analysis computer finally learns a new word. Here, black has a moderate, as opposed to slight advantage.

16... Bd4 17. Qe2 Rac8 18. Bc4 Qc5 19. Bb3 b5 20. Qe1 b4 21. Ne2 Bf2 22. Rxd8+?!
Apparently, I'm now losing. Evaluation is -4.25

( 22. Qf1 Qe3+ 23. Kb1 Bb5 24. c4 bxc3 25. Rxd8+ Rxd8 26. Bd1 cxb2 27. a4 Bc4 28. Kxb2 Rd2+ 29. Ka1 Bxe2 30. Bxe2 Rxe2 )
Black has a decisive advantage here. WHy did the computer give me this line, I have no idea.

( 22. Rxd8+ Rxd8 23. Qf1 Qe3+ 24. Kb1 Bb5 25. Qc1 Bxe2 26. Qxe3 Bxe3 27. Re1 Bf2 28. Rc1 Bxf3 )
This line is similar to text, and it is bad for me.

22... Rxd8 23. Qf1 Qe3+ 24. Kb1 Bb5 25. Qc1 Bxe2 26. Qxe3 Bxe3 27. Re1 Bxf3 28. a3
Here, I cross -5. This position is already resignable. But I am stubborn and I keep playing.

Rd1+ 29. Rxd1 Bxd1 30. axb4 Bxg4 31. Bc4 Bf3 32. Bxa6 Bxe4 33. b3 Bg1 34. Kb2?!
h4 turns out to be better, but the pawn would die anyway, and my position wouldn't be any less miserable.

( 34. h4 Bf2 35. Bd3 Bf3 36. b5 Bxh4 37. c4 Bf2 38. Kc2 )
She has a decisive advantage in this line.

( 34. Kb2 Bxh2 35. Be2 Be5+ 36. c3 g5 37. b5 f5 38. b6 )
See my previous comment.

34... Bxh2 35. c4?!
My final dubious move. Although, at this point, it makes no difference.

( 35. Kc3 Be5+ 36. Kd2 Bf4+ 37. Kc3 f5 38. Bd3 Bf3 39. b5 Kf7 40. b6 Be5+ 41. Kb4 )
Another "Black has a decisive advantage" line.

( 35. c4 Be5+ 36. Kc1 h5 37. Kd2 g5 38. Ke3 f5 39. b5 h4 )
These programs really need to learn a few synonyms to the word "decisive".

35... g5 36. c5 g4 37. Bf1 g3 38. b5 f5 39. Kc3 Kf7 40. c6 g2 41. Bxg2 Bxg2 42. Kc4 Ke7?
OlimarFan finally screws up. Although my position only goes up from -8.43 to -8.08, it's still a mistake. Now I don't feel so bad.

( 42... Be5 43. c7 Bxc7 44. Kd3 Bf1+ 45. Ke3 Bxb5 46. b4 h5 47. Kf2 )
I'm pretty sure you can guess by now what the computer thinks.

( 42... Ke7 43. Kd4 Bg1+ 44. Ke5 Bf1 45. b6 Bxb6 46. Kf4 Bc7+ 47. Kf3 )
Ditto.

43. b4 Bf1+ 44. Kb3 Bxb5 0-1
I belatedly resign, but the analysis is not done yet.

( 44... Bxb5 45. Kc2 h5 46. Kd2 h4 47. Ke3 Bxc6 48. Kf2 Bg3+ 49. Ke3 f4+ 50. Ke2 )
This is like -11 evaluation.

So, overall, I was the underdog in this match. The opening was fairly even, with chances for both sides, but after my first inaccuracy, my position eventually begins to deteriorate, and her attack begins to get stronger, and stronger, until she crashes through, and I still drag it out, but evetually, she is able to stop my last pawns, and I tipped the king, metaphorically speaking. Good game OlimarFan!

Yeah, I see that now, but I just don't see why he had to forfeit the whole game. Oh well

Great game ru5514n! I guess there's no objection with the computer analysis- My endgame play was clearly horrible :(

I'll probably show this game with my chess coach also, and see what he thinks :O

Yes, I do...every Thursday. Not a particularly nice guy, but...

Are you saying you didn't take me seriously in the first game!? lol

Unfortunately, school's just started today, so I'll be rather busy :(
Haha, I might want to challenge my chemistry teacher to a chess game -Watch him snap the Sicilian Nadjorf like a twig.

I'm 0-7 now guys. *Ecstatic* :D

All that's left is my games vs. Yoshimanssbm, and he already beat N9NE, so I'm thinking of playing all stupid moves. :D

.


well I never take correspondence ratings too seriously caus I play otb with some people who have +1900 ratings in 3 day games on chess.com that I go pretty even with, so I never know what to expect for someone with a high correspondence rating.

you'll probably still beat me, but I'll try to make it a little more difficult this time lol.

Epic game indeed. One of the most thrilling games I've had in quite some time. I vote for top 3. That way, the group will have the max of 6 players.

I just blundered mate in my game against smoove jenkins, I pressed submit on a pawn just after he moved his queen on the g file threatening mate in one with a knight, and all I had to do was move my g pawn up, and right when I clicked submit I saw it and was like noooooo go back.

lol but it was too late.


I move too fast in correspondence chess.



EDIT


LOL I just lost to smoove jenkins again.

in an easily won endgame I blunder my bishop.......**** im such a noob

I'll vote for top 2 from each Pool. Top 3 from each Pool is just a bit too much for me...sorry :(

Chess match with chemistry teacher starts tomorrow :O

Analysis of my game with Overload: http://www.chess.com/home/computer_analysis.html?id=30315829&game_type=1

game itself http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=30315829

Inaccuracies: 2 = 7.1% of moves
Mistakes: 6 = 21.4% of moves
Blunders: 1 = 3.6% of moves

lol there's nothing like feeling you played well than the computer shows you that actually you played horribly.

Red text is main line. Blue is computer statements. Normal text is computer variation...

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bb5 d6 5. d3 Bd7 6. Bc4 h6?!

(0.31) INACCURACY - Perhaps better was 6... Na5

Book moves until h6...computer suggests Na5 although I don't see the benefit in that... Overload has a 0.31 advantage right now...

( 6... Na5 7. Bb5 c6 8. Ba4 b5 9. Bb3 b4 10. Ne2 Nxb3 11. axb3 )
( 6... h6 7. O-O Na5 8. Bb5 c6 9. Ba4 b5 10. Bb3 Nxb3 11. axb3 )

7. h3 g6?!

(0.72) INACCURACY - With that last move you went from roughly equal to having a worse position. Your best continuation was 7... Be7

( 7... Be7 8. O-O Na5 9. Bb5 c6 10. Ba4 b5 11. Bb3 Nxb3 12. axb3 )
( 7... g6 8. O-O Na5 9. Bb5 Bxb5 10. Nxb5 a6 11. Nc3 Nc6 )

8. g4 Bg7

(0.11) ALTERNATIVE - The game is now roughly equal.

( 8... Na5 9. Bb3 Bg7 10. Be3 O-O 11. O-O h5 12. gxh5 Nxb3 13. axb3 Bxh3 )
( 8... Bg7 9. Be3 Na5 10. Bb5 c6 11. Ba4 b5 12. Bb3 Nxb3 13. axb3 )

9. Nh4 Nxe4 10. Nxe4 Qxh4 11. Qf3 O-O 12. Be3 Nb4 13. O-O-O b5 14. Bb3 a5 15. g5 a4 16. Nf6+?

(-2.79) MISTAKE - Your opponent made a mistake! Better was 16. gxh6

Got a clear advantage now...

( 16. gxh6 axb3 17. hxg7 Kxg7 18. Bg5 bxa2 19. Bf6+ Kh6 20. Bxh4 a1=Q+ 21. Kd2 Qxb2 22. Rc1 Ra3 23. Rhg1 )
( 16. Nf6+ Bxf6 17. Bxf7+ Rxf7 18. Qxa8+ Rf8 19. Qe4 Qxe4 20. dxe4 hxg5 21. a3 Nc6 22. Kb1 Be6 )

16... Bxf6 17. gxh6??

(-7.88) BLUNDER - Lucky you! Your opponent blundered! The best move was 17. Bd5

( 17. Bd5 Nxd5 18. gxf6 Nxf6 19. Qb7 c5 20. Qb6 a3 21. Qxd6 axb2+ 22. Kxb2 Qb4+ 23. Kc1 ) ( 17. gxh6 Bc6 18. Bxf7+ Rxf7 19. Qg4 Qxg4 20. hxg4 Nxa2+ 21. Kd2 Bxh1 22. Rxh1 Nb4 23. g5 )

17... axb3 18. a3 Nxc2?

(-9.19) MISTAKE - That was a mistake. Much better was 18... bxc2

( 18... bxc2 19. Rdg1 Nxd3+ 20. Kxc2 e4 21. Rg4 Bxg4 22. Qxg4 Nxf2 23. Qxh4 Bxh4 24. Rf1 Nxh3 )
( 18... Nxc2 19. Rdg1 Nxe3 20. fxe3 b4 21. Rg4 Bxg4 22. hxg4 Qg5 23. h7+ Kh8 24. Kb1 bxa3 )

19. Bd2?

(-10.36) MISTAKE - Your opponent made a mistake! Better was 19. Qb7

( 19. Qb7 Nxe3 20. fxe3 Qxh6 21. Kb1 Qxe3 22. Qxc7 Be6 23. Rhg1 e4 24. Qxd6 )
( 19. Bd2 b4 20. Rhg1 bxa3 21. bxa3 Nxa3 22. h7+ Kxh7 23. Qb7 Kg8 24. Qxc7 )

19... Ra6?

(-9.27) MISTAKE - That was a mistake. Much better was 19... Nd4

( 19... Nd4 20. Qe4 Qxf2 21. Rdf1 Qh4 22. Rh2 Bf5 23. Qxh4 Bxh4 )
( 19... Ra6 20. Qb7 Rc6 21. Kb1 e4 22. Qxb5 exd3 23. Qxd3 Qxf2 24. Qxb3 )

20. Rhg1 Rc6?

(-9.24) MISTAKE - That was a mistake. Much better was 20... Bc6

( 20... Bc6 21. Qg3 b4 22. Qxh4 Bxh4 23. Rg4 Bxf2 24. Bxb4 Nxb4 25. Rxb4 Be3+ 26. Kb1 )
( 20... Rc6 21. Kb1 Nd4 22. Qe4 Qxf2 23. Rgf1 Qh4 24. h7+ Kh8 )

21. Kb1 Ra8?

(-9.03) MISTAKE - That was a mistake. Much better was 21... b4

( 21... b4 22. Bxb4 Nxb4 23. axb4 Rc2 24. Qe3 e4 25. d4 Rxf2 26. h7+ Kh8 27. Qxb3 Qxh3 )
( 21... Ra8 22. Qd5 Kf8 23. Be3 Qxh3 24. Qh1 Kg8 25. Qxh3 Bxh3 )

22. Rg4 Qh5??

(6.15) BLUNDER - Don't punish yourself too badly, but you were winning, and now you are losing. You should have played 22... Rxa3

This move swung the game in Overload's favour and how, from -9.03 to 6.15. The computer says I should have ignored the threat to my queen and pushd on with a kingside attack. When I played Qh5.. I totally missed that my bishop was under threat. Looking back Bxg4 looked appealing but losing rooks didn't look good.

From here I went from two pieces up to even.

( 22... Rxa3 23. bxa3 e4 24. d4 exf3 25. Rxh4 Bxh4 26. d5 Nxa3+ 27. Kb2 Ra6 28. Be1 )
( 22... Qh5 23. Qxf6 Kf8 24. Bg5 Qxg5 25. Rxg5 Ra4 26. h7 Rh4 27. h8=Q+ Rxh8 28. Qxh8+ Ke7 )

23. Qxf6 Kf8 24. Qh8+??

(0.2) BLUNDER - Lucky you! Your opponent blundered! The best move was 24. Bg5

Don't worry Overload, I totally missed this too. You went from 6.15 to 0.2. If you played Bg5 it was practically all over if I played Qxg5 according to the computer.

( 24. Bg5 Qxg5 25. Rxg5 Ra4 26. h7 Rh4 27. h8=Q+ Rxh8 28. Qxh8+ Ke7 29. Qh4 Ke8 30. Rc1 Nd4 31. Qh8+ Ke7 )
( 24. Qh8+ Ke7 25. Qxa8 Bxg4 26. hxg4 Qxg4 27. Bg5+ f6 28. Rc1 Nd4 29. Rxc6 Nxc6 30. Qxc6 Qxg5 31. Qxc7+ Ke6 32. Qc8+ Ke7 33. h7 )

24... Ke7 25. Qxa8 Bxg4 26. hxg4 Qxg4 27. Rh1?


(-1.65) MISTAKE - Your opponent made a mistake! Better was 27. Bg5+


Again, ignoring that bishop..which the computer says would have lead to a drawish position.

( 27. Bg5+ f6 28. Qxc6 Qxd1+ 29. Bc1 Qxd3 30. Qxc7+ Ke6 31. Qc8+ Kd5 32. Qb7+ Kd4 33. Qb6+ Ke4 34. Qc6+ Kf5 35. Qc8+ Ke4 36. Qc6+ )
( 27. Rh1 Qg2 28. Rd1 Nd4 29. Qc8 f6 30. Be3 Qf3 31. Rg1 )

27... Qg2?

(-1.6) MISTAKE - That was a mistake. Much better was 27... Qf3

( 27... Qf3 28. Bg5+ f6 29. Bxf6+ Kf7 30. Qg8+ Kxg8 31. h7+ Kf7 32. h8=Q Qxf6 33. Rh7+ Ke6 34. Qg8+ Kf5 35. Qxb3 )
( 27... Qg2 28. Rc1 b4 29. Qa4 bxa3 30. bxa3 Nd4 31. Rxc6 Nxc6 32. h7 Qh1+ 33. Kb2 Nd4 34. Bg5+ Kf8 )

28. Rd1 Nd4?

(-4.24) MISTAKE - That was a mistake. Much better was 28... Qf3

Despite the mistake, it gives me a clear advantage now...

( 28... Qf3 29. Rg1 Qxd3 30. Bg5+ f6 31. Bxf6+ Kf7 32. Qxc6 Nb4+ 33. Ka1 Nxc6 34. h7 )
( 28... Nd4 29. Be3 Rc1+ 30. Rxc1 Qxa8 31. Bxd4 exd4 32. Rxc7+ Ke6 33. Rc1 Qf3 34. Re1+ Kf5 )

29. Qa5?

(-4.14) MISTAKE - Your opponent made a mistake! Better was 29. Qh8

( 29. Qh8 Qxf2 30. Bg5+ Ke6 31. Rh1 Rc2 32. Qc8+ Kd5 33. Qb7+ c6 34. Bc1 Ke6 35. Ka1 )
( 29. Qa5 Qf3 30. Bg5+ f6 31. Qe1 fxg5 32. h7 Qf6 33. Qh1 Qh8 34. Re1 )

29... Qf3 30. Rc1??

(-Mat05) BLUNDER - Lucky you! Your opponent blundered! The best move was 30. Bc1

This allows both to queen, but even after that black has the clear advantage according to the computer.

( 30. Bc1 Qxd1 31. Qd2 Qc2+ 32. Qxc2 bxc2+ 33. Ka2 Ne2 34. Bg5+ f6 35. h7 fxg5 36. h8=Q c1=Q )
( 30. Rc1 Qxd3+ 31. Ka1 Rxc1+ 32. Bxc1 Nc2+ 33. Kb1 Nxa3+ 34. Ka1 Qb1# )

30... Qxd3+ 31. Ka1 Rxc1+ 32. Bxc1 Nc2+ 33. Kb1 Nxa3+

( 33... Nxa3+ 34. Ka1 Qb1# )

The game swung a few times. I was two pieces up by move 17 but the game changed after 22. Qh5 when Overload was able to claw back the two pieces and end up just two pawns behind and just a disadvantage of -0.41. The key move you missed was 24. Bg5, threatening mate with Qh8. I think if you played that Overload that would have sounded my defeat.
