 Okay, we've got Joe Gallagher in the studio who's just beaten Gunai Mamadzada. Tell us something about the game, Joe. Yeah, it was a struggle. I played, um, it was a night of Bishop E3 and I played Knight G4 on MiV6, which I haven't played much in the last 20 years or so. She was very surprised by it. But I was actually one of the original players to play it back in probably the late 80s. And I wrote a big article for Neon Chess and the line became popular. So I have some history in the variation. And um, so I prepared it this morning, I don't know, I just want to play something surprising, my opponents really. And we had a position on MiV 16-17 with a peace sacrifice, which can either in a draw, still complicated, but or she can go into an ending with two pieces for a rook and two pawns, which is a bit risky. And that's what she did. She played, well, I mean, she quickly got in some trouble. I think I was just completely winning. And then I made probably a mistake in time trouble and maybe she could draw, she'd draw in chances, but I managed to get into her three pawns against Bishop, just no other pieces. And even though I put all my pawns on white squares, they were basically going through. She couldn't defend. Okay, let's have a look at the game, then Joe. Okay. Okay, Joe, let's have a look at your game. So yeah, I played Qd4. I don't know what's the best here. This was the end of my prep, basically. It looked, you know, unclear. And she played Bishop d3. Now I was wondering, I had a choice of rook f8, which I played or knight e5. Knight e5 was interesting because she can go Bishop b5 check. And then I can take, and after Qd4, I've got knight takes f3 check, winning back the queen. So if we go back instead of Bishop b5 check, she can also go, she can also go Bishop g6 check, and now I mustn't take, obviously, because then I can't, I don't have the fork. But after so instead, I didn't play knight e5. Yeah, I would go King e7 in this position. And it's probably, but it's a mistake Bishop g6. That was just a fun variation. Yeah. So I didn't do this because if we go back to move to Bishop d3, I didn't play knight e5 because maybe she goes Bishop e4. And I wasn't sure in the end in how it was. Why should I go for an end in here now? I've got to play rook f8. So I played rook f8. And I wasn't sure. I mean, she decided to sacrifice another pawn and go for get developed. So it was quite interesting. She castled and I took on, took the pawns. She played knight e3. Now I didn't know what to do with my king. I didn't really want to have it on a white square because there were many tricks with that. So I, or castles as possible. But I calculated a long line and I went for it. And then I realized I made a mistake in the calculation. So she played rook b1, I believe, was it here? King g2. King g2 first. Oh yeah, because if she moves her rook, for example, if she goes rook e1 or something, I can play a rook takes g3 and knight e5. And this is rather tricky with threatening knight f3 check and yeah, even. Yeah. I mean, this is good. I mean, even if after rook b, rook c1, I can do this, I think. So she didn't do that. She played king g2, rook f8. And then she played rook b1, b5, and she played rook c1. Now I had a long thing I miscalculated in the variation. Originally I'd planned to play rook takes g3 check here. Rook g3, takes, knight e5. Oh, sorry, one way. Yeah, it has a life of its own. Knight e5, rook c7 check. Sorry. Rook c7, king d8, queen a5. And I thought I could play queen takes e3. And I thought there was no good checks. But then I realized that after rook g7, king e8, she's got bishop takes b5 check. That's the end of the game. So I managed to spot that in time. Otherwise it's probably winning for me, that position. So if we go back to move, yeah, so I played my reserve variation, which was knight b4. So now she's got, I mean, it's a good line. Knight b4. I should probably have wasted time on that other line. I should have just played knight b4 because it's a decent move. It's a decent move. It stops things. I didn't see, I don't know. Now we were short of time. So the game went, she played rook c3. I played knight d5. There's other moves as well, I don't know. But this looked good and safe takes. I mean, she's got to take queen takes. Now king g1. Now I played queen d4. I don't know. I could have, I repeated once. Yeah, I wasn't sure. There was many tempting moves, but I ran out of time. So I went for a run. Well that is, but yeah. One of the tempting lines I took on g3. I took on g3 and played rook f3 and now, well, she's got a few problems here. She has to play king h2 and then queen e5 is very strong. Maybe there's other moves. I haven't really had time to look at it, but now I'm threatening to take on g3. She played queen g2. Only move and now, wow, I've got many moves, but I should, I can just take on g3 and then take on c3. Yes. And with rook c7, I've got king d8. So I get four pawns with bishop. Should be winning quite easily. But I overlooked, I mean, I ran out of time. I went queen e3, which looked even stronger to me. And then I realized she's got bishop e4 or bishop e2. Yeah. So it was just a blunder. Typical of my games really. So now I can't do anything except exchange. Exchange rooks and she took with a queen. Maybe she could take with a bishop. I don't know. I don't know if that's probably better for black, but it's not easy anymore. I mean, played d5, I suppose that bishop is very passive. Yeah, but that's another game where she took with a queen and I wasn't sure. And then we're in time trouble now. So it's difficult to exchange queens. I thought this is probably at the best chance. And I thought I'd activate the king straight away. Her king is far. So she came with a king to g2. I played, I don't know if this is called king e5 or not, maybe. And she played bishop g4 to try and stop me playing king d4. I played b4. And then king f2, a5. I mean, so I've always got this a4 and b3 tricks coming. King e3. I just played d5 because I can always get d5 and e5 in the system. She can't stop that. So she waited king d3, king d6. Maybe here she might have made a mistake. I don't know. She just gave me a tempo, which might be I'm losing. Maybe I don't know if she's got time for bishop d1 here. Right. I mean, bishop d1 might be drawing. I don't know. To stop a4. Okay. Anyway, I think bishop d1, I think after what she did, she's just lost. She played king d4. She just gave me a tempo and I play, now I play e5 and then I play e4 so that this is a pass pawn a4. Bishop d1 probably only now b3. And now if she takes a3 obviously, and she goes king c3, I've got d4 check. So that just comes through. So she played a3. Maybe she thought this was okay, but now she's in a zugs way. It's like she can't move the bishop because of b2. So I just wait with king c6. And she's forced to move it. She can do things with a pawn, but if she plays h4, take, take, and it's actually very easy because my king has a square. My king hasn't got a square in some lines. That's why she almost had chances. So she's got no move. So she went king c3 and now king c5 this morning. So I'm coming forward to bishop h5. Now d4 check. She had a choice here, but I think king d2 loses at once to something I can't remember what. I think b2 or e3. Probably just e3 and if king d3 then just b2 and d3 check and e2. Just they go straight through. Don't need anything. So she played king b2, but now my king comes in. So it's all over. King just comes into here and she can't sit around. So it was interesting. I made a stake, but it was quite a good game. Still came through. Yeah, it's good. Good stuff. Thanks very much. It's nice to beat the young ones. You sound like Victor Korshner or your former teammate. Well, I'm not as grumpy as him. There's still time, Joe. Still time, but yeah, I mean, he was he's grumpier than me. Thanks, Joe. Thanks.
