The king would have to move his fat ass a lot before reaching a safe refuge, unless you agree with perpetual... but better than giving the queen anyway.

Surely there's a safe square as Danny mentioend. At the end of the day, you can retreat the queen to assist defending if needed. Will try to come up with something now.

OMG! I didn't even see 25. Qg6!

(MSC beat me to it.)

Neither did I. Only after brainstorming before the diagram. Laughing

Hah, chesster, did you see it also in the game and bluffed or...? :)

Avatar of chesster3145

I just missed it.

Avatar of TheronG12

I really need to stop walking into trouble in the openings. I got away with it this time though.



Avatar of TheronG12

I probably shouldn't have been greedy and grabbed the e-pawn. It might be playable for black if you know the lines, but I don't and I keep losing games in the opening, so I should have avoided complicating things.

Pretty awesome game. Remind me on Thursday so I can analyse it (after the first portion of exams...). Berlin opening is really awesome, but lots of theory. :)

Chesster collects another win as soon as he makes the mating move. Horrible blunder to give up a rook, decided that rather than being down a rook and resigning I'd go for being down the exchange and hope he wouldn't notice the mate. He noticed. In another game my king has kind of walked into an unhealthy position - something like a2 where no sane white king has any business being at this point in the game, but maybe I can get away with it still.

OK, here's the game. No prizes for spotting the losing blunder.
 
Avatar of TheronG12

For once I contrived not to lose the game in the opening. I don't see any other obvious blunders, but interested in commentary.

I think instead of the awful 22. Rfd1 I should have played Bxc5 Rxc5 23. Rxb7.

Game 9 is finished!

Rather proud of the way I played at the end of this. Of course, someone will now come pick holes in it.

Avatar of TheronG12

It was a blunder by chesster to give up the c-file I think. He had to just take the trade there, but then I think my two passed pawns should be winning. ?When I played Rc8 I was looking at 31. ... Bd7 32. Nxd7 Kxd7 33. Kxb5 Kc8 when I think I should be winning pretty easily but in fact I can win the bishop with 32. Rd8.

Avatar of Pulpofeira

I agree. But why 6. b3?

Avatar of TheronG12

The idea was to free up the dark bishop. I guess it wasn't such a good idea.

Avatar of Pulpofeira

Yes, in French Advance black could get in trouble if trying to win the d pawn too early, when the white queen has free way to the q side. After 6. Be2, for example:



Avatar of Pulpofeira

Nice end! The white king had been very active and all the pieces were perfectly coordinated.

The third set of games is coming to a close. 10 games in, I lead 6.5-3.5.

I registered for Chess Tempo a couple of months ago, and my rating stands at 1466.7.
