@Typewriter44 ended with a solid performance of 7.5/10(Maybe it should have been 8/10 because of some cheater). He blogged about his performance so i'm gonna look at two of his games with both his annotations and mine(Not using engine so I might make mistakes)

Type vs @SapphireGlacer

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 RCM1: I noticed that type got a whopping THREE fried liver games -_- 4... d5 5. exd5 Na5 6. Bb5+ c6 7. dxc6 bxc6 8. Qf3 Be7 RCM1: And we also saw THIS in two of his games, despite it not being most popular.

(8... Rb8 9. Bxc6+ This doesn't score well (9. Bd3 Is much safer when black has tame compensation for his pawn) 9... Nxc6 10. Qxc6+ Nd7 11. d3 Be7 12. Ne4 O-O Is how things could go when black has amazing comp for his two pawns. He will play Rb6, f5, and get a monster attack.)

9. Bxc6+ RCM1: Once again this doesn't score very well

(9. Bd3 O-O 10. O-O h6 11. Ne4 Nd5 12. Ng3 White can probably survive this.)

9... Nxc6 10. Qxc6+ Bd7 TW44: Here I have 2 extra pawns, but my opponent has a huge lead in development 11. Qf3 h6 12. Ne4 O-O 13. Nxf6+ Bxf6 14. O-O Rc8 15. Nc3 Bc6 16. Qg3 Qd4 17. d3 Be7?! RCM1: This makes no sense.

(17... Bh4 Leads to crazy lines. 18. Qe3 (18. Qh3 f5 19. Be3 Qd8) 18... Qg4 19. Qh3 Qxh3! 20. gxh3 Bf3 21. Re1 Rc6 22. Rxe5 (22. Re3 Rg6+ 23. Kf1 Bg2+ 24. Ke1 Rf6 25. Re2 Rf3) 22... Rg6+ 23. Kf1 Bg2+ 24. Ke2 Bxh3)

18. Bxh6 TW44: Grabbing a third pawn 18... Bf6 +- RCM1: There is no way black has anything anymore. 19. Be3 Qd7 20. Rfe1 e4 21. d4 Be7 22. Bg5 Bd6 23. Bf4 Bb4 24. d5 Bxd5 25. Nxd5 Qxd5

(25... Bxe1 26. Nf6+ Kh8 27. Qh4#)

26. Red1 Qf5 27. c3 Be7 28. Be3 Rfd8 29. Qf4 Qxf4 30. Bxf4 g5 31. Be3 f5 32. Rxd8+ Rxd8 33. Bxa7 TW44: Pretty simple conversion here up 3 pawns, although I do have to be careful with the attack 33... Rd2 34. Rb1 f4 35. Kf1 f3 36. g3 g4 37. Be3 Rc2 38. a4 Bd8 39. Rd1 Bc7

(39... Rxb2 40. Rxd8+ Kf7 41. Rd1 Ke6 42. Bd2 Kd5 43. Be1+ Kc4 44. Rd4+ Kb3 45. Rxe4 Ra2 46. Rxg4)

40. b4 Rxc3 41. Rc1 Rxc1+ 42. Bxc1 Kf7 43. Ke1 Ke6 44. Be3 Kd5 45. Bc5 Kc4 46. Kd2 Kb3 47. Ke3

(47. a5 Kc4 48. Ke3 also works)

47... Kxa4 48. Kxe4 Kb5 49. Kf5 Kc4 50. Kxg4

vs Type

1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 c6 3. e3 Nf6 4. Nc3 g6 5. d4 Bg7 6. Be2 O-O 7. O-O Nbd7 8. b3 Nb6 9. c5?! RCM1: Overambitious.

(9. Ba3 ⩲ Is just solid.)

9... Nbd7 10. Bb2 a5!?

(10... b6 RCM1: This looks better. 11. b4 bxc5! 12. bxc5 Rb8)

11. a3 b6 12. b4 Ba6!? Types annotation. I think it deserves that. 13. Bxa6 Rxa6 14. Qc2?? RCM1: I think type was drunk when he gave this two question marks. It seems like the right move!

(14. b5 Ra8? Types line, again I think he was drunk lol. (14... cxb5 15. c6 Nb8 16. Ne5 Is the idea but I believe it gets refuted by. 16... Ne8! Followed by Bxe5 and Nxc6.) 15. bxc6)

14... b5 TW44: Playing b5 before he gets a second chance to play it 15. bxa5?! RCM1: Now this is questionable.

(15. e4 And white is certainly no worse and maybe even better.)

15... Re8 TW44: Really no need to rush when it comes to taking the pawn 16. a4?! TW44: Another mistake, blowing up his already bad pawn structure. RCM1: Agreed.

(16. Na2 Is the only way I see to justify bxa5. 16... Rxa5 17. Nb4 Qc7 ⩱ I think black is a bit better here.)

16... b4 17. Ne2 Qxa5 ∓ 18. Qb3 Rb8 19. Ra2 Ne4 20. Rfa1 Ra7 21. Bc1 Rab7

(21... Ndxc5 TW44: worked right away)

22. h3 Ndxc5 23. dxc5 Nxc5

(23... Bxa1 24. Rxa1 Nxc5 TW44: also works, although it wouldn't be as good)

24. Qb2 All analysis below is types.

(24. Qb1 Bxa1 25. Rxa1 b3)

(24. Qd1 b3 25. Rb2 Bxb2 26. Bxb2 Nxa4 27. Nc3 Nxb2 28. Rxa5 Nxd1 29. Nxd1 b2 30. Nxb2 Rxb2)

(24. Qc2 b3 25. Qd1 bxa2 26. Rxa2)

24... Bxb2

Congrats to type!
