Hi

Thought Nxd5 was the best then Qa5+
Ke2 was most lilely the move. OTB think Whiter would consider Nd2
then I thnk Black can drum up something.

Like the idea of two unproteced Queens facing each other.
Thin ice, I love walking on it.
Would have gone something like this.

FEN 2rqk2r/1p3pp1/p3nb1p/3p1Q2/2pP4/2N1PN2/PP3PPP/R3K2R w KQk - 0 1

1. Nxd5 Qa5+ 2. Ke2 b5 {Impossible with the Knight on g6 as the c8 Rook hangs.} 3. Nxf6+ gxf6 4. Qxf6 Rg8 {I would take this OTB rather than face that ending. I've had worse, a lot worse, and won. A very slim chance In C.C. play, it needs a blunder but I can put a player into blunderland OTB from here. Not from that ending. I would have fun thinking up wee tricks and traps. When they are all gone I resign. No smooth ending for you, a slighlty bumpy ugly ride (you will have to get your hands dirty) and then 1-0. I've got threats on g2 and c3 is a move. A lot more than Black got in the original game.}

Putting pressure on the opponent may be the most important thing in OTB. IN cc, you can get up walk around, calmly move pieces around etc.

Yeah, that is a hopless postion to try and repair in C.C.
Even in OTB I'd need a very nervous player, it is gone.

Just shows what a shocking move that 11...Nf8? was.

He moved a piece twice in the opening.
Delayed castling by another move.
Dropped a centre pawn.

What a wretched piece.

And then the final ignamity of it all is when he tried to sac it you refused it.
You even left with it when you promote your pawn!

I would have taken that Knight home and thrown it on the fire. 🙂

I haven't checked yet to see if I could truly take the knight- I think so, but why? If you have a +- position why mess with it for more material.

Btw My apologies to my opponent- I didn't mean to have this game focused on in the forums.
