I try and watch the top players play one another, even if I am lost much of the time. I had been watching this game Game 2472562 for the past couple months or so and I came on today to see that it ended in a Timeout 😕
Obviously Akizy already "won" but I was rather curious to see how it was going to turn out. I am curious to hear what some highly rated players such as Korch or DragonFire think about the game?
I would be eager to hear any commentary on the game anyone has to offer as well.

Put it on Fritz (if you want) which will find any forcing lines?

Originally posted by Dragon FireI disagree. White has slightly better position but black has counter play due to their active pieces. At least I dont see any forcing line which could prove advantage of white.

When I look at that position, I dont think black is completly lost.
R+N for a queen isn't too bad, and also that B pawn looks like it has potentcial.

Well I see no way white could lose from there, unless he blunders of course.
white may look beastly with the queen...
but I think black is winning assuming that he knows what he's doing, and by his rating...
I assume that he does indeed know what he's doing...

from the opening, seadevil played very good king's gambit and have a better position, however it turns out in the end awizky is winning of 2 reasons:
more pieces
centered pieces
1) It was Reti opening not Kings gambit - I dunno how its possible to mix these 2 openings.
2) Akizy won due to timeout in slightly worse but defendable position.

Originally posted by KorchSo easy to convey the incorrect impressions if you respond too quickly (isn't it).
Well - from your text I understood that you evaluate that position as winning for white.

Well... theoretically its can be draw, but black will need to play carefully for not to lose.
I really meant what you have said, that black does not have a forced win and that it is black that needs to take most care not to lose.
I (think I) would prefer the white side as it seems easier for black to make an incorrect move than white. Queens can be so devastating on an open board if given a chance. That said this is the type of material imbalance I try to avoid as it is always extremely difficult to play for both sides.
