kingcrusher are u the same kingcrusher on chesscube?

[kingscrusher]

yep

[alexholowczak]

After the Queen exchange, Black plays Ng4, instead, what was wrong with N/Bxc4? Can white regain the pawn?

[kingscrusher]

Good question - I believe White's best is to then play Bxc4 followed by Rfc1, trying to regain the pawn - here is a brief Rybka line:

Rybka 2.3 mp 32-bit - ,J, Blitz:5'

2kr3r/p2n2pp/b1p1p3/8/1Bn1P3/P­2B1N2/5KPP/R6R w - - 0 1

Analysis by Rybka 2.3 mp 32-bit :

1. +/- (0.96): 21.Bxc4 Bxc4 22.Rhc1 Bb5 23.a4 Ba6 24.Rxc6+ Kb7 25.Rxe6 Rhe8 26.Rxe8 Rxe8 27.Rd1 Nb6

[tankto0n]

If 20... Bxc4, why shouldnt White simply play 21. Kxe3 ?

And 20... Nxc4 encourages White to play Nd4, where he gets his pawn back.

[kingscrusher]

On 20..Nxc4 I don't think Nd4 is good there - black has Nd7-e5 with pressure.

2kr3r/p5pp/b1p1p3/4n3/1BnNP3/P­2B4/5KPP/R6R w - - 0 22

I think Bxc4 gives White advantage though on black playing 20..Nxc4

Been waiting for your coverage on this!

[edmalikin]

Thanks for your video.

@AKsharkfin Nc6 blocks the check while defending the bishop

[AKsharkfin]

on the 00.50 mins, wouldn't the move Qa4+ win the bishop.

[SatyaVenugopal]

why did kramnik offer the draw? was he also in time trouble?

[thepunictrader]

I think white was inteeding Rook to c1 if black took the pawn on c4 giving counter play

[gtamateur]

@leevag27 not necessary because f3 can be consider has a line of the nimzo-indian so u cna try again and u will see perhaps frizt will play for white Qc2 or e3

[JohnnySkillish]

Wow! That's quite disturbing actually. It's no secret that GM's use this software to "prepare" for an event but I guess the big question is to define "prepare". If memorization is all it takes, let's all be one! lol

[leevag27]

This is a fixed game. I played white against fritz11 until 4.f3!! then I allowed fritz11 to move white too then what a shock!! they just memorized what the fritz moved for white and for black!!!! you may try it with your fritz11. GM of this generation just rely on the computer. tsk3!!

[gtamateur]

long game are less hard because you take time to look at the game and you dont fall in trap like fork and orther

[OceanderTethyseus]

these long games are too complicated. i like the blitz games because i can understand it a bit.
