Live commentary 15 minute chess - 2012 1feb 1436 - White vs Sicilian - Wing Gambit

[Stokkeland23]

When you are 3 pawns up and offer a draw you should just quit chess.

@Stokkeland23 I don't know. He only have a minute left and the position is still somewhat complicated which require him to burn more time to think. He is rather slow in that department and KC still have 2:17.

What a terrifying position to try and defend O.O

[dilbertfungoing]

b5 seemed like the wrong choice to me, somehow. I kind of felt that with the advantage in development you needed to keep all the tension in the position you could... It's just a feeling though.

I enjoy all of your videos, but this one was one of the best among them in the clarity with which you explained the thoughts running through your head in terms of developing a plan...well done! and thanks very much :)

what is your opinion on the wing gambit?

[sertificat0r]

Be2 great move, i didn't see it

[Viksnikker]

Weird draw offer imo(?)

[xEric1993]

Great stuff as always :)

[greyharmonix]

your gambit for an attack turned into a really good display of defense. There were a lot of tricky positions in this one. Ironically, i think this game turned out to be on of your better demonstrations of playing defense in a tactical position.

won't be playing the wing gambit anytime soon :-), looks bad after 9... d5 already, but I love the leningrad dutch from the mamedyarov video!

[Darkarix]

I think your rook move to the center (18...Re5) was just too aggressive. In my opinion it was better to play more conservative like Re3 or Qc2. What do you think king?

Sigh. Happy new year yet again .
