40. Qxd2 Bc4

42. Qxd3 Bxd3

43. Rxa6 ...

What is your reply?


I would move pawn to B4

He probably will move to b6

i would probably move to B3

his next move would probably be B8

I would move pawn to H5 but if so his best move is to move pawn to G4 (i think) to which mine would be H4.



Now he can either go F3, F4 or G2,

if G2 i would go to D5 to check, If F4 kill him right away,



That's all i got right now. Still trying to think of the outcome



If not the H5 pqwn, i would go to D5, but im not so sure about this one.

Either the pawn or the Bishop fall.

What is your reply?


Hmm i see, well in that case i would probably save the bishop by going to D5 because if that bishop is gone, it's pretty much game over



What if Bishop goes to D5 in the first place? And then going back C4 if Rook goes to B6?

What's the point of sacrificing those two pawns actually?

What's the point of sacrificing the a6 pawn actually?

Well, im not one above to not admit defeat when i see it. I just thought that by taking out the queens it might provide a more fair game, true it may have sacrificed the a6 pawn but at least it keeps the rook in place and while it is, it gives time to hack away at the pawns. Just my thoughts, i admit that im still a beginner at chess, no need to be harsh lol.

Please forgive me if I somewhat sounded harsh, that's not my intention at all. Rather, my barrage of questions was a result from repeated confusion. When you advocate a move that clearly will sacrifice a pawn at minimum (which you did know), I thought you have prepared a line that is winning for Black (thus, justifying the sacrifice).



Regardless though, I understand what you mean by now. I suppose, while it is clear that exchanging Queens will be winning for Black, exchanging Queen with Queen plus pawn is a completely different nature and must be understood within positional/tactical/time's context.

yes, i see your point now. I guess Chess is a learning experience for me and i still have a lot to learn. If you give me some time though, perhaps i can come up with a good strategy. And it's ok, i guess over the internet true intentions are hard to tell.



but im curious though, what would have been your move?



Edit: Nvm it seems that you have already answered it.

This is a rather interesting game I have, involving another exchange sacrifice, where on move 12 I throw the board into flame by intentionally giving up my rook for white's light square bishop. From there the play goes on up until move 70. Notice that at around move 40s, my time is already very limited and I'm actually scrambling to move my pieces with no thinking and only instinct. The only idea I have in mind was to get everything off the board and win with one or two pawns. In a bit of a comedy, the time counter become erratic on move 70 because from move 60s to 70 - I've been moving my pieces even before my opponent moved his (this mean that as soon as my opponent move his piece, my piece will automatically moved by the game to the place that I've put it before, thus saving me the literally seconds I need to not lost the game). This will at some point cause the game to crash, but at least it's a draw and not a lost (time forfeit) for me.

A classic case of premature King-side attack. I've been playing rather passively in this game, and apparently Black noticed it as well. The key moment is at 11. 0-0 Qc7!, and here - I've calculated that if Black lunging in unprepared, he/she will be in for a surprise. 14. Nh4 Nxe3? Black moves in as I predicted, but unfortunately - he/she will witness all his supporting pieces for his/her Queen's attack gets dissolved in the blink of an eye. 17. Rf3! Qd6 (lol), Black Queen's attack has been completely foiled. 19. e4! Nb6? The star move that seal the game. Black makes a big mistake here, that is; by committing his/her Knight to the Queen-side, Black's King will be vulnerable to a sudden King-side attack by White, which actually happens in this game. 21. Bh5 and Black resign due to hopeless position as he/she will be down one whole piece plus the incoming White's artillery barrages (Ra-f1) is virtually unstoppable.

deathrhapsody (1657) 0 - sinisa1945 (1811) 1



We're both had been playing each other several times before, hence we're not that alien anymore with each other's style. In this game, I ended up with a winning position, but lost due to time forfeit. I really need to manage my timing well, to avoid this type of thing from happening repeatedly, lol.

1. Nf3 g6 2. e4 Bg7 3. d4 c6 4. c4 e6

c4 is an aggressive departure from my more standard c3 move. Black's e6 aim to enforce his presence in the center, but I believe this is a a bad move since his light-square Bishop will be impeded by the pawn for a very long time.



5. Nc3 Ne7 6. Bg5 O-O 7. Be2 f6 8. Bh4 g5

This King-side pawns storm by Black will prove to be fatal later.



9. Bg3 d5 10. e5 fxe5 11. Nxe5 Nf5 12. Qc2 Nxg3 13. hxg3 h6

Black further weakening his position when he allow my h1 Rook to be in open file.



14. Bg4 Qf6 15. f3 Nd7 16. Nxd7 Bxd7 17. O-O-O dxc4

Temporarily giving away a pawn in order to secure my King's position first.



18. Ne4 Qe7 19. Qxc4 b5 20. Qc5 Rfe8

Black is in a whole lot of trouble, he can't even allow the exchange of Queens.



21. Nd6 Rf8 22. Rde1 Qf6 23. Re4 a5 24. Rhe1 Kh7

White's pieces working in harmony, inserting tremendous pressure into Black's structural position.



25. Bxe6 Bxe6 26. Rxe6 Qxd4 27. Qxd4 Bxd4

The Ladies went off the board, White ends up with a dominant position.



28. Re7+ Kg8 29. g4 Bc5 30. R1e6 Rad8

I overlook the power of the pin, but I manage to find a winning combination later.



31. Rg6+ Kh8 32. Rxh6+ Kg8 33. Rg6+ Kh8 34. Nf7+ Rxf7 35. Rxf7 Rc8

White's win the exchange and Black makes a rather questionable move. I'd calculated Be3+ as Black's best reply before I went in with the exchange, but he choose a more passive Rc8 move.



36. Rh6+ Kg8 37. Rd7 a4 38. Rhh7 Be3+ 39. Kc2 c5 40. Kd3 Bd4 41. Rh5 Re8

Bxb2 may have been more better for Black. The reason being; it would be rather difficult for me to stop Black's Queen-side pawns march.



42. Rxg5+ Kh8 43. Rh5+ Kg8 44. Rxd4 cxd4

Returning the exchanged material, Black's dark-square Bishop is just to dangerous.



45. Kxd4 Re2 46. Rxb5 Rxg2 47. Ra5 Rxb2 48. Rxa4 Kf7

All Black's pawns are dissolved, but I only have less than 1 1/2 minutes on my clock.



49. a3 Kf6 50. Rb4 Ra2 51. Rb3 Kg5 52. Kc4 Kf4 53. Kb4 Ke5 54. a4 Kd5 55. g5 Kc6 56. f4 Rf2 57. Rc3+ Kb6 58. Rc4 Rb2+ 59. Kc3 Rf2 60. g6 Ka5 61. Rd4 Rf3+ 62. Kb2 Rf2+ 63. Kc1 Rf1+ 64. Kd2 Rf2+ 65. Ke1 Rf3 66. Ke2 Rg3 67. f5 Rg5 68. Rf4 Kb6 69. f6 Rxg6 70. f7 Re6+ 71. Kf3 Rc6 72. f8=Q Rc3+ 73. Kg4 Rc7 74. Qf6+ Rc6 75. Qd4+ Ka5 76. Rf5+ Ka6 77. Qd3+ Kb7 78. Qb5+ Rb6 79. Rf7+ Kc8 0-1

And I forfeit on time. A rather unfortunate lost, considering that my position is actually winning.

Actually I made several bad moves there, but my opponent made even worst, lol.

Yet, I still lost on time though.

He who laughs last laughs best - I suppose.

Let me review your game.

Have been playing randomly, loosing most of the time, but this one is almost a win - except that I got disconnected in the end, lol.

[/chess]



White = 1817 Black = 1641

Basically, White is outplayed in the opening, leaving him with a loosing position after a series of force simplification.

After 30. Kxg3 exd5, Black is winning with three pawns advantage.

All I need to do is only to exchange Rooks in order to win.

2. e5

He took the bait xD





27. Kxd3

Awesome, you tricked him lol xD





Cool, you would win that match <:

The white player seemed to be very confident with the rank difference, and overestimated his ability xD
