[HollowMove]

Quite surprised you went for 15.Bd3, on a very shallow analysis I reckon things would get worse than they did IF black had played 16.- Bd6 intending Qxh2+ or is there some remedy against this I don't spot?

[kingscrusher]

@HollowMove That's a good point - maybe Rfe1 so if Qxh2+ there is kf1 and maybe Ke2 later

[trixapete]

5 minute?

[kingscrusher]

@trixapete There is such a huge backlog of 5 minute games, and I do find I can't really do much commentary in depth of variations and stuff. I actually prefer doing commentary on 15 minute games - also it is OTB season, and just maybe it will turn out to be good training for OTB chess.

Lost you a bit there... :)

[Best1O1]

@RockNizar taking with the rook on f1 leads to quick mate with Re1+ Rf1 Rxf1# since the Rook on g2 is still pinned. Taking with the Queen leads to the game's continuation

[geniusspyros]

@ 71 you had Rxh4, you might have had a chance after that especially with the time advantage :) Anyway, it was fun, really! :)

[petercc410]

KC you missed 71. Rxh4+ near the end there, which results in a rather tricky position that your opponent might not be able to win with 1 minute on his clock.

[francescogro]

Uhm.. Why not 37 Qc4+, forcing the queens exchange? The ending should be good with two rooks, shouldn't it?

[sprekteknik]

That is one of your most interesting games and one that shows why 15 min is perhaps more entertaining at its best than 5 min games. Thanks for the great run of compelling chess.

[MrEdwardCollins]

@ANSIcode I noticed that too... he wins the h pawn for free, with check. But according to Houdini, that's not a draw... Black still wins.

[barsorrro]

@Necropulan I too hope somebody can explain this...

[Andersenmast]

Insane match! King crusher you are truly and ridiculously remarkable!

[Buri1750]

@kingscrusher I think 49.Rxc6 was drawing!

49.Rxc6 Rxb3+

50.Kf2 or Kg2

And it seems black can't hold onto both the a5 pawn and the h6 pawn! Too bad you played 49.Kf4 because you were clearly thinking of Rxc6 :(

[Buri1750]

@ANSIcode That's not a draw...
