Brutal Sicilian Attack.😏

sorry S.S. i'm gonna say white is better after 11...dxe5 12.Ref1 and good chances after 20.Ng5. 22.Bf1? is a blunder 22.Bd1 is MUCH better. White can continue his struggle after 29.Rgg3 looking for a draw.

A really bizzare opening choice from black (8.d5??), followed by queen sac on move 13. (Rxe7+ Kxe7 Qxg4 also works)

15.Nf6 was the only way to actually stop mate, which might of been met with...16. Rxg7 17.Qb6? [17. Rf8? Bxf6+ 18. Rxf6? Rg8+] Rxb7 18. Qd6? Rf7

21.Nb5+ was a small error on my part seeing as I could of played --21. Bf3+ Kb6 Rb7#


The rest of the game is sloppy rubbish, and not really worth looking at.

ok very well done with the queen sac.
20.Rd7+ if you see a forced mate go for it otherwise take the free rook with Bxc8.
21.Nb5+?? instead 22.Bf3+ Kb6 23.a5 # (Rb7 Ka5)
and yes the rest of the game was sloppy which is why you should have played 20.Bxc8

Black made a big error on move 14 (allowed a forced mate in 9, though I admit I did not see it), and then I came up with a move (15) that would win a piece, or the game.

i'm pretty sure 15.Rxe7!! is the mate in 9
A.15...Rb4 16.Qd2! and black is helpless against Qc3 or Qd4
B.15...Be6 16.Bxe6 Qxd1+ 17.Rxd1 fe (otherwise the game is hopeless) 18.Rg7+ Kh8 19.Rdd7 Rf5 20.Rh8++ Kg8 21.Rdg7+ Kf8 22.Rh8#
C. anything else 16.Qd4

material is about equal if the king hadn't gone wandering you might have end up having to settle for a perpetual check.If you like send me a challenge from that position and we can play it out.

22 Bd1 c4!
if 23 dxe4 then Bxe4
if 23 dxc4 then Nxc4
if 23 d4 then Bd5 then rooks to the b file.

22.Bd1 c4! 23.dxe4 Bxe4 24.Qa4 Nb7 25.Bxf3 (or maye Nxf3) Bxf3 26.Nxf3 looks better than the game where the bishop is just deadwood.

Well aginis, Fritz has shown that I was -+ throughout the middle game, and the opening shuffled between =, =+ and only very briefly +=, none of your moves for white have any effect whatsoever, for example:
22 Bd1, Rb8
23 g6, c4 -+
, it looks like I played the middle game soundly but made 1 or 2 slight errors in the opening (but no ? moves). I woul ...[text shortened]... Fritz to do it. But if you ask me about any move, I can type it up the analysis for it here. 😀

well i'm not saying that white isn't winning i'm just saying the material is almost equal and white has counter chances (against a human)
what does fritz say about 11...dxe5 and 11...Nxe5

The material is almost equal? You still say this? - I have a Queen, passed pawn, rook to bring in, to name a few advantages. Fritz rates the ensuing battle from your best for white lines at between 6 and 13 pawns over the next few moves.

ok give an example of how you might play after 29.Rgg3
i suggest first looking at it without fritz and then comparing.
and i'm still waiting on analysis after 11...dxe5 and 11...Nxe5.
