@El'endiaStarman I wasn't, and I might be wrong; I just think.

I think Rf1 last move would've been superior…

@PhiNotPi white doesn't get the time … I suspect there will be a very quick checkmate otherwise for white

@Hosch250 [the pawn protects it]

Nfg4 Be2 …?

@Hosch250 sure we don't

[ProTip™: read the backlog]

And why would you want to escape?

I made the mistake a bit before

It actually doesn't have changed anything

But uh

But one cannot see everything

yep, I saw

well, it was the move allowing Qxb2 ^^

Ah, this Re1 move

yeah… I last time made sure that blacks queen cannot come to Qb2, but something must have gone wrong in the meantime

ooh

@PhiNotPi well, it's quite normal given that it hasn't been moved yet :-P

@Adnan no long term one. white probably will have to exchange some figures to escape here

I do not see white destroying black here

it mainly has the advantage of the pawn

@Adnan yeah, if you play correctly, I see no way for white to play Nb5 … but make one inaccuracy with black and your queen is at risk

Be4 is dangerous because f5

@Adnan solution: Be2

yeah, Nfg4 is probably the best move …

which is quite a bad choice

And if we take with queen, we change bishop against knight

The bishop is going to be attacked with chess upon Nf3, which one cannot take with pawn [followed up by Qxh2]

ah I see

blocking the b line and covering a3 as well as the bishop on d4

Nb5 incoming

I would make attention that the queen actually can evade here when it's going to be attacked

@PhiNotPi If anything, do not play Sicilian.

@El'endiaStarman deleting is mod power, but at least on SO where I'm room owner I can easily batch move messages

// available for some live chess … If someone wants to

@PhiNotPi you cannot yourself as a room owner?

trading the bishop vs knight wins one move white needs here

Rf2 is not possible after Ne2 because of black putting its knight on g4 (now protected via bishop on c8) and attacking f2 then

especially if you want to protect the pawn on b2

I think Ne5 forces white to trade bishop against knight

not yet damnit but dangerous for white

hmm

oh damnit

With black Ne5 is probably best, followed by … good question. :-D

@Adnan you're quite right here…

:-D

In a bullet game, okay.

@Hosch250 … in a game with 20 mins on the clock?!

@Hosch250 lolwut… there must have been some serious time pressure at the time of these blunders…
