 Okay Bobby, you've beat Ivanka Huska in the final round Which is a very important result for the men's team. Tell us something about the game Yeah, so I'm really glad to get this win. It's been a long and frustrating tournament and my results haven't been great But yeah, it's good to finish the win and it's really important for the team because um, yeah I think we're basically gonna win the match now the game She surprised me in the opening with this Bishop D6 I hadn't checked it at all and I didn't really remember anything. So I just played something very harmless Just to get a game and it was completely equal for a long time But she started getting low on time and started making some mistakes and I won. Okay. Let's look at the game Okay, Bobby we start early in the game and I think your opponent surprised you in the next move Yeah, so yeah, my opponent's been playing the Slav in this tournament So I didn't even check to E6 let let alone some sideline So yeah, so she played down Bg6 So the main move is Bb7 and yeah, I hadn't checked this at all I knew the main line is like knight c3 and then There's some there's some bishop g5 and play for e4 But I hadn't checked it at all and obviously she had so I didn't want to go into anything To theoretical so I just meant normal move and then yeah keep going 97 B3 and then she plays 94 and Yeah, so I made this move Bishop c1 which is like it's like definitely very harmless. So I've spent basically we get a stone wall where I've spent I've wasted two moves going back and forth and she's spent two moves going 26 so basically she's up she's up one move. So basically she just gets a stone wall where black is a tempo up Yeah, so yeah, so it's definitely equal and black is no problems at all But okay, I get her out of book and we just get a game. Yeah, so Ten years fairly I see 30 b6 is all very standard. I played rookie one here. So I thought she wanted to play Bishop a6 And then like Rook c8 c5 and target this pawn. So my point was that like if she plays bishop a6 I was gonna play a4 and play a5 and try to annoy that Bishop like this But then she's played Bishop e7 very quickly. I'm not sure if she actually saw a4 but anyway But yeah, now she doesn't get this like pressure on the c4 pawn, but yeah, it's very equal So I thought when I played Rook d1 that like one one drawback would be that like she gets her knight to d4 oops and then like starts attacking f2 and then Yeah, this can get pretty pretty sharp. I don't really want to go back and if I play 95 I was looking at like Okay, I have no idea if this is any good but something like this And then I guess she gives up the Darkscape Bishop, but f2 is hanging And if I'd go here was like looking Queen c7 and maybe I just lose this pawn. Yeah, so Yeah, something like this would have been pretty sharp. I shouldn't go for it She put she took on c3, which is like very solid. I was a bit surprised I thought she got a good position from the opening and given they needed to win some games She might she might play some something more sharp, but I should just play very solidly. I'm just totally fine It's like black is just very comfortable. It's just equal Yeah Just a stop a4. Yeah, and then like around here like my basically I knew that like it's completely equal and I don't really have a plan So I just started playing quickly just I thought if I can't if I can't win on the board I'll just get her in time trouble and I actually worked very well but she started spending like quite a bit of time on each move and You know eventually you'll get you'll get down to like Few minutes and something will happen So I was just moving around. I'm not actually throwing anything. You're not doing anything You're waiting to see I'm playing like I play Rooksy 2 and I'm pretending. I'm doing something but then she started playing like strange move like split H6, which is like like It's just a small weakness. Maybe it's not it's not much, but it's sort of Yeah, it made me it made me like feel a bit more confident because she was clearly like Yeah stuck on ideas like Queenie. It's it's a very strange move to one because I'm not doing anything at all Yeah, I played Queenie 1 you know one. Yeah, I'm just like, you know, just now she has to think about c5 and the bishop taking g7 Which is Probably not a real threat, but she played Bishop f8, which like Yeah, so now she has yeah, but basically just imagining something. Yeah. Yeah, she's just defending and I'm it's still completely equal Okay, I want 91 so so I'm going to d3 She went King h7, which is also very strange 93 And then she played g5, which is like it's probably totally fine But at least now I have something to target. Yeah target and I played f3 and like around here she had maybe Maybe like 15 minutes left and the position is going to get very sharp and we still have 16 moves to go Yeah, so now now I can now I can like try to sharpen the game and she's gonna get low on time on like move 30 move 35 Yeah, and on this is a concession. I guess yeah takes takes Makes sense though to play c5 simply c5. Yeah, and now Yeah, now I need like because my king is also quite weak when I've played f3. Okay. Yeah, so like yeah I want the bishop on a1 and the queen on b2. So I can get your mate Okay, okay, so I've played f4 She took which makes sense basically if I took with a pawn, which is natural. I think she wanted to play nice c5 and there's a pin here and Yeah, I mean this is like both sides have to be careful because my king is also quite weak. Yeah So, yeah, I was calculating some lines I played bishop takes and like strategically this is very bad because my eyes lights up on but Yeah, I was expecting her to play nice if I was gonna go here, but okay. My pawn structures pretty terrible but this bishop is very strong and okay, her king is quite weak and yeah, we're gonna get a long time and I'm gonna try to play like some g4 and Yeah, and just try to attack the king because like strategically it's very bad for me But yeah, I was looking at something like this and I thought I was completely unclear But yeah, and said yeah, she played b5 which is like yeah, this is a really bad move So just got a pass born. Yeah basically after c5 It's like b5 doesn't look that bad, but after c5 it's kind of surprising how strong this pawn is I just go c6, c7 two rooks behind it Yeah, two rooks and she can't she can't block it and I just put the pawn on c7 and there's actually no way to stop it So yeah, but b5 was I think she was yeah, she was getting long time and she wanted to play something quickly Yeah I mean she's obviously trying to generate something because yeah, the women have a difficult match situation So that could be it as well. Yeah, and you're just kind of sitting back playing roped open soaking up Well, I mean I was trying to win this thing. I wasn't playing Gordra Yeah before and Okay, like oops, so sorry to go back like the only thing that like you have to calculate is c6 just So this doesn't work at all because She just takes back with a queen and there's no tactics but but yeah, I just put the knife back on f2 and and then suddenly I got a c6 c7 and next next and it's very surprising how Yeah, how hard is it to stop this pawn? So like she can like three guys here and tries to block I just play c6 Yeah, you've got three guys all yeah after and I'm threatening c7. You can't play with c7 because it should be six I mean, I saw this and okay. She doesn't lose any material But it looks it looked like I didn't see a win here, maybe there's no force to win But it just looks like I thought it was gonna play for like try to open up a king. Yeah But yeah, maybe this is probably a better chance than what she did because here there's no like immediate win But she went for some tactic that just didn't work. So she played e5 And the point is that after I take she wants Bishop g7 now if I play c6 takes only five with a knight And then the knight's pretty strong there but but then yeah I had like maybe 20 minutes and I just spent spend them all just calculating this And this just wins tactically like yeah queen takes I take g7 Otherwise I'm attacking two pieces. So she has to take and then okay Eddie for probably also wins and I just push the two points, but that's just like you just calculate a few lines here 87 and everything's hanging but yeah, well more of her pieces of hanging. Yeah, so Queenie 3 is gonna need chance and Takes takes and then yeah, she told me afterwards. She just missed rookie one Yeah I can play Queen B1 as well, but then after Bishop D3, it's a little bit unclear. Okay. Okay one Yeah, but rookie one is just sort of ends the game So everything's hanging, but I'm sure yeah, so I Think it's gonna move and then hey Queen D1. Well, there's probably many ways to it. Yeah Yeah, she's down a rookie and she's not throwing anything. So yeah, I just trade the Queens and effective end of end of game Yeah, yeah, okay. Thanks very much
