Game 1:
Fiveofswords: still there?
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah
X_PLAYER_J_X: thinking of how to attack lol
X_PLAYER_J_X: must of calcuated a dozen variations lol
Fiveofswords: i have more peices defending than you have attacking
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah
X_PLAYER_J_X: but i couldn't help lol but to try lol
Fiveofswords: i didnt calculate anything other than rxg6
X_PLAYER_J_X: just doesn't seem working
X_PLAYER_J_X: lol
X_PLAYER_J_X: didn't see that move
X_PLAYER_J_X: gg
Fiveofswords: gg
X_PLAYER_J_X: i knew it looked to good to be true lol
Fiveofswords: well its difficult to attack after nb1 heh
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah
Game 2:
X_PLAYER_J_X: lol i saw no defence
Fiveofswords: dont think there is one
Fiveofswords: i kept the pawn...ended up mattering...
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah i figured there was some compensation but didn't seem to find any lol
Fiveofswords: thats the sort of approach to the tarrasch french that thrillerfan proclaims to be equal
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah it doesn't feel equal lol
Fiveofswords: i think black can do it just isnt simple...he skips some rather important steps....such as the entire opening
Game 3:
X_PLAYER_J_X: o no
X_PLAYER_J_X: ahhahaha
X_PLAYER_J_X: i can't believe i just did that
Fiveofswords: you seem to really need to have an attack
X_PLAYER_J_X: well im just messing around i haven't played this line before
Game 4:
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah i have played this as black before
X_PLAYER_J_X: but i can't remember what i do against Qe2
Fiveofswords: lose a pawn apparently
X_PLAYER_J_X: its strange because i think im getting alot of play
Fiveofswords: looks very temporary to me and wont cone to anything tangible
Fiveofswords: and my threats to just force a queen on the queenside ultimately will be more important than anything you try to do
X_PLAYER_J_X: has to be something here
Fiveofswords: why
X_PLAYER_J_X: because it looks to dangerious
Fiveofswords: doesnt look dangerous to me
Fiveofswords: only question here is if white loses the win after qxq
Fiveofswords: maybe so
X_PLAYER_J_X: i think it seems so dangerious
Fiveofswords: only my pawns look dangerous
Fiveofswords: you will make me vastle of course
Fiveofswords: sacs on e3 make problem f7
Fiveofswords: queen has f7 h4 and even a2
Fiveofswords: black has nothing
Fiveofswords: i just push queenside
X_PLAYER_J_X: hmmmm
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah i am not sure
Fiveofswords: i dunno sometimes activity is real sometimes its a mirage
Fiveofswords: there isnt a simple explanation just needs experience
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah
Fiveofswords: all i know is that i can have a hard time winning if people dont attack me
X_PLAYER_J_X: lol well its tough lol
X_PLAYER_J_X: because i see you waiting like 20 moves to castle lol
X_PLAYER_J_X: and its like has to be a way to punish it lol
X_PLAYER_J_X: so i start attacking and it fizzles out
Fiveofswords: well...i dont usualy wait that long heh
X_PLAYER_J_X: i'll try again lol
Game 5:
Fiveofswords: bxf7
Fiveofswords: attack me
Game 6:
X_PLAYER_J_X: ill try another line lol
Fiveofswords: theres that queenside again
Fiveofswords: pawns belong on c6
X_PLAYER_J_X: hmmmm
X_PLAYER_J_X: well i see interesting line
X_PLAYER_J_X: gg's man
X_PLAYER_J_X: it looks like i need to lol practice some more ha ha
Fiveofswords: i think our style clashes in my favor
X_PLAYER_J_X: well normally i am not aggressive but at the same time
X_PLAYER_J_X: when i feel like there is something i can be aggressive ha ha
Fiveofswords: i tend to make a lot of strong players feel aggresive
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah
Fiveofswords: and if someone commits in a certain direction i generally can just keep a step ahead of them
X_PLAYER_J_X: like the plosition on the board here
X_PLAYER_J_X: i liked this position
Fiveofswords: its my pet line vs the caro
X_PLAYER_J_X: felt like the move h4 by you was a move you played because you didn't know what to do lol
X_PLAYER_J_X: was waiting move is what i thought
X_PLAYER_J_X: than i played Ne7 and forgot about a4
Fiveofswords: well h4 does lots of things
Fiveofswords: avoids back rank mates tries to weaken your king
X_PLAYER_J_X: i was trying to get e5 in
Fiveofswords: cant
Fiveofswords: i wont let e5 happen without winning material for it
X_PLAYER_J_X: well the knight on d7 is the problem piece
Fiveofswords: lots of problems imho
X_PLAYER_J_X: if e5 Nxd5
X_PLAYER_J_X: which is had no way to cover
X_PLAYER_J_X: but at the same time you was tied down as well
Fiveofswords: nah
Fiveofswords: i couldnt quite break thru on qside no problem ill make gesture on kside
X_PLAYER_J_X: i think i should of played Qe7 now
Fiveofswords: sortos classic center dominance play
X_PLAYER_J_X: instead of Ne7
Fiveofswords: i think things were already bad for you
X_PLAYER_J_X: well i thought i was doing great till i let that pawn break happen
Fiveofswords: your pieces have no access to center i have proected passed pawn
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah but its blockaded
Fiveofswords: matter of time for black position to collapse
Fiveofswords: i can just grind at it eventually you run out of moves
X_PLAYER_J_X: hmmmm
X_PLAYER_J_X: i wonder what you would of done about Qe7
Fiveofswords: you may be overlooking nxd5
X_PLAYER_J_X: ooo i see tactic
Fiveofswords: qe7 when?
X_PLAYER_J_X: well i was thinking of a plan of like
X_PLAYER_J_X: Qe7 to Qf8 to Qg7
X_PLAYER_J_X: but it does seem very slow
X_PLAYER_J_X: and maybe it will run into tactics like your saying
Fiveofswords: dude 17 qe7 18 nxd5
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah
X_PLAYER_J_X: i see what you mean
Fiveofswords: and just loses
Fiveofswords: even without such a tactic if i dont want qf8 i just play bd6
Fiveofswords: black position is really in total bind
X_PLAYER_J_X: hmmmm yeah i will have to check it out for sure
Fiveofswords: i think you were more or less lost after 10...a6
X_PLAYER_J_X: i wonder if this whole idea was right or not
Fiveofswords: that early
Fiveofswords: after a6 it was simply a game of me finding useful moves that dont need to commit
X_PLAYER_J_X: well its good that i played you today lol because
X_PLAYER_J_X: i def need to look over these few lines again
Fiveofswords: well naturally you wont see them often
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah
X_PLAYER_J_X: not many peeps play them
Fiveofswords: i do my own thing :p
X_PLAYER_J_X: i have seen this d4 c5 idea before in caro kann though
X_PLAYER_J_X: and i remember the move i had to try and force thru was e5
X_PLAYER_J_X: i just can't remember how it was done
Fiveofswords: usually ppl play c5 after bg5
X_PLAYER_J_X: because the position is similar to that of like a nimzo
Fiveofswords: i leave out bg5
X_PLAYER_J_X: instead of it being nimzo on white side its nimzo on black side
Fiveofswords: the way i play it you just cant get e5 in. theres no way
X_PLAYER_J_X: you know what now that i look at it
Fiveofswords: have to approach differently
X_PLAYER_J_X: i might be confusing the lines
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah
Fiveofswords: nobody but me plays a3
X_PLAYER_J_X: the set up i am thinking of is with Bb5+ Nc6 Bxc6 bxc6
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah
Fiveofswords: i trade a3 for moving lsb twice
X_PLAYER_J_X: well than if e5 is not the plan
X_PLAYER_J_X: than i been approaching it all wrong
X_PLAYER_J_X: maybe b6 is the idea here
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah b6 and a5
X_PLAYER_J_X: breaking the structure that way
X_PLAYER_J_X: because that only pawn break i have
Fiveofswords: i see this a lot it fails to break anything
X_PLAYER_J_X: besides e5 of course
Fiveofswords: na4 refutes everything
Fiveofswords: b6 b4 a5 na4
X_PLAYER_J_X: doesn't lose a pawn?
Fiveofswords: no
X_PLAYER_J_X: you mean at move 9 right?
X_PLAYER_J_X: 9...b6
X_PLAYER_J_X: ?
Fiveofswords: so after u played nc6
Fiveofswords: b4 after b6 if a4 just b5
X_PLAYER_J_X: i see
Fiveofswords: and im getting passed pawn on 6th while your n is kicked away and forced passive
Fiveofswords: just crushing
X_PLAYER_J_X: yeah its a very interesting line
Total Score: 0 Wins - 0 Draw - 6 Loss
Fiveofswords WINS
