nice game  ..

nikki rocks as usual

nice game

Thank you Rafeh Qazi

Good game! I actually watched this game live. I saw the position when Amanov played Qa3. Your position looked promising however. When I was going through this game, I was like "Woah! I have seen this game somewhere!!", haha. Anyways, I am a 1900 and I went 2.5/6 so I didn't do too well.

Great game,
Rafeh Qazi.

@Satya : I saw Qa4 ! and found Bg7 was the only move and then I dint see the plan of Be2 and Bd3 where the Bishop was so strong creating mating threats with Rb7, Qa6 etc ...  I was thinking of Qa4 Bg7 and Bf3  and Rb8 with the idea Qc5!  was good enough for black's counter play. But actually after Be2 and Bd3 the queen cannot move from c8,c7 squares so easily. 

So you didn't see Qa4 or you thought a draw is good enough :)

mobidi : ya Qa4 ! is  really strong ! you are right ... Hypnosis plays a huge role in chess ! 

@ FM Nikhileshk Really instructive game ! 25.Q a4!! very hard move (psychology)-of course 25. B TAKES on f5 is very easy ,but BAD.We see Hypnosis in chess ! ( such EASY moves bring us UNDER HYPNOSIS).It is very important factor in our game (not only in game...).It is ,for  example,other kind of HYPNOSIS-hypnosis of RATINGS-it is very serious-really hard to play vs BIG RATING or CHAMPION. Good Luck! Thanks!

@elindauer : it was 1:30 mins with 30 sec increment

@dokter_nee : 25.Qa4 with the threat of Qd4+ winning the rook on h8 !

outstanding game.  What was the time control?

I am wondering about 1 thing in your analysis on move 25, you have Bg7, but i don't see any real threat for white if you take the bischop there with fxg4.

I think black can defend, and if he can start trading, will be winning, no?

@satya : Yes dude !

@sagar :thanks buddy !

Nd5 is excellent.. good depth. Good fighting game. Is he a GM? 

good one ra nikki
