Submitted by Fellippo on Mon, 12/03/2007 at 8:20am.

Hello, I would be very pleased, if you share some opinions when did white lost this game. I think this was my best game on chess.com and we agreed with Anorexia that he made the crucial mistake in 23. move. What do you think?

ok first I want u to know that b4 is a bad move cjuggler...

white gains the intiative as his next move is 5. a3 this develops his piece and forces the black knight to move... and i suppose the white 'a' rook can nove move to the semi-open b file... but thats not the point...

it is not a very good example of intiative... look at a preson playin the Kings Gambit or any sort of gambit for that matter to get a better idea...

can some one explain b4? i understand that its an attempt to gain initiative.. but how does it do so in this example?

 also... black takes it using the knight.. why not with the bishop? to assist development... even after its chased away by a pawn... 

 I'm still learning = )

I like taking the Rook with the Queen+ after the knight threatens ("good move I rekon") on move 23.

 Ooops missed the bishop....

I think you have it figured right that 24. Re1 was the critical mistake. Pointless move that puts no further pressure on the opponent when the opponent is obviously backed into a corner. At that point there were many exit strategy options for black that involved minimal material loss. Before 24. Re1, was a brilliant move by black though. thanks for sharing.

White's first mistake was 4.b4.  A much stronger move would've been 4.Bc4 followed by the advance of the d pawn.  8.Be2 was just foolish.  You hung your Knight at c6, and he reacted to the pin when he didn't need to.  He should've taken with 8.dxc6 and if 8...Bxf3 then 9.Qxf3 and white's a bishop ahead--and the strong bishop at that.  9. Bb5+ was typical of an inexperienced players who seem to think they score points for checking an enemy king, when all it did for him was lose tempo.  He should've played 9.Nxd4, taking the knight, you'd have probably played 9...exd4, then he'd play 10.Qxd4 and if you then took the e2 bishop 10...Bxe2, he should recapture with  11.Nxe2 with the c3 knight, preserving the kings ability to castle, and he'd be ahead in material.   I'd keep going but there's just one mistake after another for white, unfortunately (or rather, fortunately for you :)

white made many many many mistakes, starting with 4. b4... he might gain the intiative but thats it!! 8. dxc6 and white is ahead! he won't double his pawns as the Queen can take if ur bushop takes his knight... 16. Rb3?? i think he wasnt concentrating... 21. Nxd7, hes not very good is he... 23... Nc3 is not a very good move from u... 24. Qc4 attacks ur knight but the main threat is his white knight forking ur Queen and Rook... he gains at least a rook and knight!!

as for u... what was 24... Be7 all about!! 24... Nxb5 gaining a Queen for nothing!! if 25. Nxc8 25... Kxc8... gaining a Queen and knight for just a Queen +3 points in material!! no offense but ur oppenent was abosolutely

Not clear what 4. b4 was all about.  You didn’t get much for that pawn sac.  It’s not affecting the center very much (or for very long)

Not sure why white didn’t just win the N for the P on 8. dxc6.  There was no compensation based on the 7…Bg4 move (if Bl then takes Wh’s N on 8…Bxf3 then 9.Qxf3 and Bl is still behind a piece for a P. 

Moreover NOT taking that Bl N enabled it to penetrate dangerously into a great square d4 where it attacked an already pinned piece. 

14. Rb5 was also mysterious to me as it’s easily capturable by the Bl N without some sort of trap then ensuing for the Bl Q. And then you keep the R there as though the Bl N were pinned and incapable of taking it.  Putting your R there moreover sets up the easy P fork of the B and N when the R withdraws (for some reason to a space that the N can again take you—and it does this time finally).  Because of this single move (14. Rb5) you end up basically a R behind.  On the other hand Bl blunders on move 19 in allowing your N fork of K and R, so you could get some of that back.  Your obscure move 21. Na8 when you had the R for the N exchange puzzled me.  Why go after the easily withdrawn Q when you have a R for a N?  I personally like 23…Qb8 a lot better than your move.  It pins the N against the Q (thank God for your B at g4 blocking the mate of 24. Qxd7) and it looks to me that you could double up the Q and R via 24…Rb7 next.  I don’t “get” 24. Re1 either.  I would’ve probably played (just quickly) something like Qc4 where Wh still has the fork of Bl’s Q and R + he’s attacking 2 other pieces.  (I wdn’t’ve have played the B up to g5 prior, however, as it was a wasted move).  Not sure why both players left both Q’s en prise for so long. 

Hope that’s helpful in some ways.

After the exchange of Queens, White should have resigned, he was hopelessly behind in material.
