 Okay, Maria, you had a nice win today against Hussain Aziz, tell us something about the game. I think it was about equal position after the opening, but then my opponent misplayed it and I got an initiative. I also had some mating threats like Queen h5, Queen h2 and I was very happy about it. I think the main mistake of my opponent was to give up the pawn. I believed that instead of knight cd2 he had to play knight b4. And then though I was better but probably not enough for the win. And at the end he kind of got his king on the wrong square, didn't he, to try and stop your pawns going through. Yes, in the very end I think that my position was winning because my a and b pawns were faster than his pawn on g2. Okay, let's look at the game. Okay, Maria, we have a Karakan. You've just played knight g4 against Hussain Aziz. Tell us something about the position. I think this position should be equal. Of course, black has bishop again in the knight, but on the other hand my king is quite weak on g8. The pawn structure is about the same I think because of these double pawns. I also considered knight bd2 here and if I play queen b6 then probably queen d4. And it's quite dangerous to take the pawn on b2 because of the king. I'm not sure. Yeah, it looks risky. So, Hussain played knight d4. Yeah, it's quite happy. I also considered queen g5 with the idea queens h5 and mating thread on h2. But okay, possible white can defend with playing knight f3 and then knight h4. Yeah, okay. So you opted for to go on the queen side? Yes, at least some pain might be unpleasant and knight a3. Knight a3, yeah. Yes, I think in two or three moves I already liked my position and I thought that it was me who put pressure. Right, so he's trying to, I'm not quite sure what he's trying to do there. He tries to protect this square on e3 so I'm not able to invade on e3 but on the other hand this e4 square became weak. So if the knight was on d2 it should have protected it. Yeah, can he? Yes, if let's say rook a1, rook e, yes. Yeah, rook a1. So instead of b3 then probably I would take and take on b2, yes. Seems reasonable, isn't it? I think it shouldn't be dangerous for black and I can retreat my queen. You can get back quickly, can't you, in that position. So you're not worried by that one but he played b3, he's worried about his b-pawn. Yes, but this pawn becomes weak. Yes, and later on I managed to attack this pawn. So he occupied e4, and he played rook f4 to challenge. And now I played queen g6 with similar ideas to play for the mate. Yes, and so I played rook f8 and I think it's better than to play queen h5 immediately because then as I said in the beginning of the game like knight f3, knight h4 it was quite unpleasant for me. Now of course it's impossible to take because I play queen h5. Good mate, yeah. Yes, and then knight f3 and I am a rook up. So knight f3, it was an interesting move, bishop f5 but unfortunately queen b5 and looks like not good for black because of knight h4. Okay, yeah. So captures and oh of course the queens come off here. Then the end game appeared and rook c8 I have to play but here probably knight b4 was possible in order not to give up the pawn. But still I think black is better here. I'm just not sure how much. Rc5, maybe rook d1. The pawn structure is about equal but bishop against knight should be better for black. Okay, knight cd4 gets played and you of course took the pawn. Knight e5. Knight e5, yes. I didn't want to play this position because it seemed equal to me. Okay, yeah, okay. So you went in for bishop f5. Yeah, it was a very brave decision to go into rook end game but I think it's very unpleasant for white to defend there. Right, so all this material comes off. Yeah, it looks like knight h2 white has to play because the rook d1 immediately then I have gc. Yeah, it's awkward to snap. Knight f1 and rook c2. So that's just to make sure it doesn't get hemmed in on the background. I have to move my king closer to the center. So the next moves are logical. We repeated the moves and I played king f5. Yes, rook e5 is forced. Here when I played rook c1 unfortunately I missed the idea like rook d5. I don't know how it's possible that I missed this idea because I only considered rook d7 or sorry rook d7 and king h4. And I was quite happy to play it like g3 is forced and this position I thought was comfortable for me but after rook d5 I realized that it wasn't that good for me. It wasn't that great, was it? So I had to put my king on f5. Yes, on f5. Oh, sorry, yeah, f5, yeah. And I'm not sure why my opponent decided to change this g4 pawn on h2 because I think it's better for him to play rook d7 and if he manages to change at least one pawn then it should be easier to give checks and to force the perpetual. Instead of which he played king g3. Yes, but here after rook c2 I think I was happy. Yes. Still it was maybe possible to play rook d7 here, right? I suppose so, yeah. But I mean this can't be good for white simply because my king is too close to this b3 pawn. And if I manage to take it then it's completely winning because of this two pawns. So probably in the very end when I played a5, a5, it was necessary to play king g5 and the idea is if for example I play then maybe king f5 I considered yes and so we could get into this and king, or not king f5. I'm sorry, not king f5 but king f6 maybe. Yeah, king f6, yeah. King f6, yeah. And then the same idea. And so the point is that we reach the end game where I am a pawn up and it's very unpleasant for white to play in g4. Can I play king b4 maybe, am I right here? King b4. King b4. Yes, yes. So probably... What happens? I actually didn't even see this because I considered that in g4 I considered that in case I play this I mean I was pretty much confident in this position because I give many checks and it's extremely hard to defend and I knew that I was very close to win. Yeah, but this way it was just too far away. Yeah, but this I mean... It's very easy, yeah. Yeah, it should be very easy. He could continue some moves like this in g4, okay. And here I thought it was necessary to give check. Rh... No, no, it was right. Oh sorry, the correct move, yeah. Yes, and I think Rc1 probably. I mean these two pawns are too strong. Too strong, yeah. Okay, thanks very much.
