Chess World.net presents Blitz #480 vs WGM Alena (2407) QGD Slav

[BrianMayRedSpecial]

was 40. ... Nc3+ not a good idea?

[Anthracyte]

At move 27, do you have Ba3? Idea is to decoy White's Bishop away from the f4 square, after which Nf4 forks the rooks?

Or is it very simply refuted?

[dakgootje]

the refutation is simply that black does not want to exchange his knight and bishop for one of whites rooks.

[herbs4mike]

This should have been a draw at least..... That was a terrible blunder b-4??????? It was a blunder in thinking....... that this sac would actually work. Shocking end game for a WGM with over 2 minutes left.

Not TRYing to take anything from you though. Your game seemed solid.

What the hell was white thinking??? I think he realized that he messed up after the White King was dropped on d6.

Oops,..... Black is paying attention. LOL

[MavPlaysChess]

Wonderful game.

[xXxWilliExXx]

Kingscrusher, are you any relation to IM Irina Krush?

[Juggles8]

27...ng3 is interesting, as it threatens NxR+, if the rook stays on the 2nd rank, then Ne4 is strong, and if Re1, the skewer ...Bb4

[bearpickle]

@ 5:06  28...Nf4 forks Queen and both Rooks!

[Skiaffo]

f4 is covered by the bishop on c1

[xXxWilliExXx]

Yes, but White would just remove the knight with her bishop!

[buffguy86]

Temporarily, until black plays B x f4

[senorgringolingo]

bishop takes it

[pigeonkid4]

Very well played!  An exciting middlegame and then you outplayed in the ending too.

[drcloak]

agreed

[icaruspassion]

Crush!

[termodox]

You played very many moves Rybkas first choice, thats really good

[GreenCastleBlock]

52...Ne5+ sometimes Knights can be knight forked :-D

[xaniared]

great game very tactical

[thechessstick]

Good game.  40... Nc3 check would have been good...Cheers...

[bryson55]

Great game against a WGM!

[Sepharite]

good game. was a little disappointed when the last special peice was a knight =(

[DooodleDoood]

at 3:01 i would have played d4 forking his queen and knight

[HomelessTwit]

if black plays e4 forking queen and knight, then the white rook just takes it back.

[DooodleDoood]

oh .. yeah.. right.....

well i still suck badly i'm trying to learn

[khmercurry]

at 3:01 maybe take f2 with knight:

Nxf2, attacking queen, Rxf2, Bxf2!, Kxf2, e4

and i think that is a pretty good position

[termodox]

Qe3 and white got advantage

[OliverCheok]

Sorry for multiple comments, my computer lags a lot...

[OliverCheok]

he played Re2 protecting the f2 pawn, couldn't you have played Nxf2 Rxf2 Qb6 winning the exchange?

[OliverCheok]

At one point, after

[gamegenius4]

#40-Nc3 +

[cloemann]

good job

[cesarcavalli]

excelente win

[GlibbaH]

Well done KC!
