B01 Scandinavian Defence (1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd8 4.Nf3)

The game I am sharing today was originally in the post B01 Scandinavian Defense: Mieses-Kotroc Variation. The new naming method will mean that there is no longer a post named like that. This game was played reasonably well until my opponent played 38...g5 in the diagram position below. Before that neither player had made any major mistakes. The problem with the move 38...g5 is that it loses a pawn by force. Or rather it would lose a pawn by force in case the player controlling the white pieces would play accurate moves. The loss of a pawn would mean a loss for my opponent, but apart from my reply 39.Rb5, I was not able to play correct moves. Marko Krale then played 39...Kd6 and now had I continued with 40.Rb6+, I would have been on my way to victory. In the game I played 40.Rb7, which allowed my opponent to get back into the game.

Good moves for Marko Krale were 38...Rd7, 38...Rd8 and 38...Rd6.

The game did not continue evenly all that long, because Marko Krale's 42nd move was a horrible blunder that allowed me to take the winning advantage once again. The problem with the move 42...Ke7 is that it gives me time to play 43.fxe5. Had my opponent moved his king to c7, I would not have had time to take on e5. The game continued with the moves 43...Rh4 44.Rc6 Rxh3+ and then I threw my win away again with the move 45.Kf4. The position was roughly even after that.

The only way to keep the equality was to play 42...Kc7.

The final downhill began for Marko Krale when he played 46...Ke6. I replied correctly with 47.Rc6+ and then my opponent made the final mistake 47...Kf7?? After that the game quickly ended in my favor.

Better moves for Marko Krale were 46...Rd1, 46...h5 and 46...Rd2.

This paragraph was typed when I originally shared this game. The game below is from a tournament called 2014 August Grand Seven Fourteen II. I have still five games in progress in this tournament and I am still in the fight for the win. I might be quite close of reaching the best tournament score I have ever had at Red Hot Pawn but it can still go horribly wrong of course, nothing is all that certain at this point.

B00 Queen's Fianchetto Defence, Nimzowitsch Defence (1.e4 b6 2.d4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb7 4.Bd3 c5 5.c3 cxd4 6.cxd4 Nf6 7.Qe2 Bb4+)

The more detailed look at my previously shared games continues with this post. It really annoys me that I could not do the original post like this, so that I would have only needed to change the name of the opening used in the game and not do most of the work from scratch. The first position that I like to show can be seen in the diagram below. It is taken after my 9th move O-O. In this position my opponent played 9...d6. It is a huge blunder and could have been the losing move. I was not aware of my possibilities and played just a normal developing move 10.Nc3. The move that I should have played was 10.d5! It seems so obvious now, but apparently I was not paying attention to the situation on the board and just played a move that seemed not to lose...

The move alfito2012 should have was 9...Bxd2.

My move was okay, but had I played 10.d5, I would have had a winning advantage. Alfito2012 replied with the move 10...O-O, which could have been a problem for my opponent, but because I played 11.a3 instead of the correct move 11.e5, the game continued more evenly than it should have. The next diagram shows the position after 23...Bxd5. This was the position in which I played my losing move 24.Bxd6?? It was replied with the crushing move 24...Nxe4 and the game was quickly over.

The move that would have saved me was 24.exd5

This paragraph is taken from the original post and therefore it is in some ways out of date. This game is from a team match called Mount Doom. The match is played on 30 boards between Lord Of The Rings and Team Latinoamérica. I am playing on board 3 for Lord Of The Rings, my other game against alfito2012 is still in progress. This has been quite evenly played match as the current score 23.5 - 22.5 demonstrates. The score is in favor of Lord Of The Rings. We still need seven points to secure the win and maybe I can help in that effort, I certainly would like to be able to do so. However, due to my recent game results, I am not at all sure what will happen in any of my games as it would seem to me that I can mess up almost every game at this point in time.

B00 Queen's Fianchetto Defence, Nimzowitsch Defence (1.e4 b6 2.d4 Bb7 3.Nc3 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Bc4)

This is a previously shared game with a more detailed commentary. The first position of interest came already after my 6th move O-O. It can be seen in the diagram below. The move that my opponent chose to play was 6...Qd7. The move does not really make much sense to me. The queen does not really have good squares to which it could go from d7 and it might make the development of the knight from b8 more difficult. The game continued with the moves 7.Re1 h6 8.Bf4 and then my opponent blundered with the move 8...a6. The move a6 is a waste of time, even though it controls b5, it does not answer to the requirements of the position. It would have been a better idea to move the e-pawn from e7 to e6 and maybe prepare castling to the kingside.

A better option for Ahmedegyptair was 6...e6.

I responded correctly with 9.e5! Since I had mostly developed my pieces and Ahmedegyptair's king was still in the center, it seemed logical to try and open the center. After my 9th move I should have had a winning advantage, according to Stockfish 8 64 POPCNT. All went well for me, until we reached the next diagram position. I had two options, either to take the bishop with the queen or with the pawn and I chose poorly. One of the choices kept the winning advantage and the other lost almost all of the advantage, so that the position was only slightly better for me.

In order to keep my winning advantage, I should have played 11.gxf3.

The next important moment in the game happened when we reached the position seen in the diagram below. Ahmedegyptair moved the knight from c6 to b4, which was a horrible mistake and the start of the downfall for my opponent, from which he was not able to make a comeback from.

The correct square for the knight was e7.

This paragraph was typed when I originally shared this game, therefore the information in there is out of date. This game was played at Chess.com in a team match called OCD BIG XMAS MATCH. This is a 76 board match between Obsessive Chess Disorder!! and ♞KNIGHTS of the REALM♞. I am playing board 15 in this match for the Obsessive Chess Disorder!! and we are currently leading the match 69,5 - 57,5. So far the match is going well for us, I hope it continues to do so in the remaining games aswell. This match started December 6th 2014 and because of the one simultaneous game setting in this match, my second game against Ahmedegyptair started only after this ended yesterday.
