Live commentary 15 minute game - icc15min2012-649am.wmv - Black with Benko Gambit

[KB3KNQ]

move 34 Rh1 is winning. All forced moves.

@KB3KNQ Sorry, I was wrong. 35.Qh2 would block. After reviewing the video again, I see you even mentioned it. I missed it; sorry.

[numbcore]

lol...at the end you couldve just played Kf5 like ten times, let him gobble your knight, while you gobble up all his pawns

[LostTactic]

Good result, made a meal of it at the end though.

29:54 Cue the Benny hill music.

[SheerLuck13]

33... Qe1 is end of game. I actually think 34... Rh1+ still works, its more complicated now that the king will come to h3 then g4 but i still think black has a nice advantage since there is Qxg2+ after Kg4 then after Rg3, Qxe4+. Fun endgame though. Good Game

At 16:48 wouldn't 29. ... Nd3 fork the queen and the rook? It looks pretty good to me for it to not have even been considered.

[1sweettime]

u was lucky man

[1sweettime]

he made mistake

white should lost the game lol

[1sweettime]

Move 34 Qxe5 and game would be black

[acr1ter]

What about 18...Nb5? That seems pretty good for putting on some pressure. If Nxb5 I think you have ...Bxa1 Rxa1 Rxb5. But maybe Nc7 spoils things?

[jewbinson]

also I lol'd at the ending. terrible. funny game nonetheless

[jewbinson]

There is a perpetual after the combination you mention at move 34., namely with Ng1+ and Ne7+

[gunuffimoo]

This knight to e2 looked to be such a strong move, and you almost had this magnetic sacrifice going on h1. But the easy way to stop this was Qxe5 and the idea was floored. So..you or houdini is about the same for me..hahahaha.

[TheFoxgirly]

Late in the ending, for example 28:26, is it possible to give away the knight just to get the king to f5 and start to eat pawns?

Really liked this game. You play these 15 min games so well!

[jmwvirgil]

He defended that mating net very nicely.

[jaileroflove]

nice one. i thought 37. ...Nc2 (fork R and pawn, then 38. Rb3 Rd4, forking 2 pawns and eying the a pawn as well). houdini 1.5 has that dead drawn though (easy to see if you play it out that the N needs to be sac'd to stop the B pawn). houdini dislikes your move 38 as well--until depth 20 and it's 0.0 again.

interesting to look at the endgame; your opponent always moved K when should have moved R, or vice versa, or pawn when it was time for the K, etc.

rest of game, very entertaining.

Startled everyone here as I yelled Qe1 ;) Fun watch, this one!
