LindseyAnn vs. Fallembwekk

So this is what you would call more than a break. A hiatus? A sabbatical? Either way, I was gone for a very long time. When I first started this blog, I was a college student with no children. Now, I have a six year old, a career and a whole lot of other stuff that has gone on in between. But somehow, here I find myself - back in front of a chess board.
I am not sure how long I'll stay in it, but as long as I got some free time and my old macbook still work (yes - you read that correctly, I'm using a laptop from 2012), I'll keep giving it a go. I'm very rusty. I probably only won this game because my rating has been decimated over the years. But, I was still proud of not missing this win.

She's Back

It was the best move for several moves to come.} 9...e6 {If I had taken Nxe4 here, there could have been a series of exchanges where I would have definitively been up a pawn.} 10.a3 b5 11.Ba2 b4 12.axb4 Nxb4 13.Qa4+ {Being completely honest, when I played this move, I didn't notice the very obvious response of Bd7 (or Qb7) or that the knight was covered by the bishop on f8. I'm not sure why, but I was convinced this was winning that knight.} 13...Qd7 14.Qb3 Bb7 15.Rfc1 c5 16.Ne2 {This may have been my worst mistake of the game. I didn't realize he could have attacked the queen with Bd5 and pretty much forced me to lose and exchange, giving up my rook for a minor piece. } 16...Qb5 {Luckily, he didn't realize it either and made a move that quickly lead to me winning the game.} 17.Qxe6+ Be7 18.Qf7+ Kd7 19.Be6+ Kd8 20.dxc5 Qxe2 {From here it's a forced mate. He could have drawn it out with some queen checks, but it doesn't go that far.} 21.c6 Bxc6 22.Bb6# {This was one of my first games back in a while, so I was SUPER proud of this mate. Three pieces working together. It really made me remember why I loved this game. I do have some other games going on where I've screwed up and we'll see where those go. But, it was nice to get a couple wins under my belt coming back into things. } 1-0

It's been awhile...

So, I've been away for a REALLY long time. The sad truth is, I've had no time to play chess since last July. That is really depressing. The good news is, life has been fantastic and I can't believe all the changes that have taken place over the last ten months.

I served as a graduate teaching assistant and president of Beta Alpha Psi during this semester, and I successfully completed my first semester of graduate school with all A's (despite all my commitments).  So, you can probably understand why I haven't been around lately.  Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, I've been pregnant during all of the following accomplishments.  It's been amazing.  But, I must admit it's nice to be wrapping up this semester, so I can spend the last two months of pregnancy playing chess and studying for the CPA exam.

I am VERY out of practice when it comes to chess.  I've been winning, but I think it's because I've gotten lucky and I'm playing below my rating (timeouts from the last time life got too busy).  Even still,  it's starting to come back to me.  I've been trying to spend time on tactics, because that is where I've found the most deterioration in my game.  I took a break from tactics to analyze this game, because it's been a while since I've posted in here and I didn't want to leave it completely dead.

I didn't do all the normal bells and whistles with the game that follows.  I didn't even remember to fix the spelling errors before feeding into the pgn viewer.  But, I'm still getting back into the swing of things,  so I'll take it.  The game is pretty ridiculous.  I should have lost, but a kamikaze move at the end saved the day.

Wins and Losses

Here are two recent games. A win and a loss. I've started posting less of my wins since they all seem to happen in a spectacular 20 move mistake-fest... whereas my losses tend to have more thoughtful, deliberate play. I think this is a bad thing, since I apparently only win when my opponent does crazy things. Or, maybe I'm just really good at capitalizing on advantages. I'll begin with the win since it's a nice, short appetizer. I am proud of the fact that both of these players were rated 1500+ and my play wasn't embarrassing.

{The computer preferred either trading Bxf3 or retreating Be6. I didn't like either of these moves because I didn't want to loose my good bishop. However, it's pretty early in the game and there are a lot of pawns still on the board to be accurately evaluating the bishops as either "good" or "bad".}

14.Qe1 e6 15.Bb3 Na5 16.e5 Nxb3 17.cxb3 Bb5
{At this point in the game I'm pretty pleased with myself. I've got lot's of space on the queenside and his pawns are weak.}
18.Rd2 d5
{I may have gotten a bit carried away with my space advantage. f6 or dxe5 would have both been better options. I've got a nice position, but I don't have any lanes open for attack at the moment.}
19.a4 Ba6 20.Bf2 f6 21.Bh4

22.exf6 Bxf6 23.Qxe6+ Qf7 24.Qxf6 Qxf6 25.Bxf6 Rxf6
{Since I didn't not take the initiative with g6, I've ended up trading down to a nearly equal position.}
26.g3 Re8 27.Kf2 Rfe6

28.Ne5 Rf8 29.Re1 g5 30.d4 gxf4 31.dxc5 fxg3+ 32.Kxg3

32...bxc5 33.Rxd5 Re7
{I chose to go for the king, when it probably would have been better to try for a passer on the queenside (for instance, c4 while the knight is pinned to his rook).}

37.Kh5 Rf5+

How to End a Vacation

Live in Active Culture

I (for the most part) fear live chess. Sometimes, I feel like I've become dependent on moving all the pieces around before I make a decision. I've been trying to get myself out of that comfort zone during spring break. Mainly, because I don't have enough future time to devote to starting a large number of correspondence games.

I've had a couple of terrible losses OTB. But since I just analyzed a really depressing game, I thought I'd throw up an awesome live game I played this morning. It really lifted my spirits, since I navigated the ups and downs of a real-time game with better resilience than I usually demonstrate. The end of spring break approaches...

Pushing Pawns.

I'm beginning to notice a pattern in my life. Chess takes over as soon as I'm not focused on school or work. Sherlock Holmes did cocaine when he was without work, I suppose chess is a much safer thing to be addicted to in times of listlessness.

I'm on break from school right now. It's nice to have some R&R, but I need something to keep me occupied. So, for the time being I'm back on the chess scene. I don't know if I'll be able to keep this up when the semester starts back up, but I'll be enjoying my time back during this break.

And, here's a quick game that I just finished. You'll quickly see why it's not analyzed. It was a nice self-esteem booster to get me over the hump that always happens when I come back to chess.

Arnez Gray Jr vs. LindseyAnn 0-1

Two games analyzed in one day! I'm on a roll. Here's a win to cheer myself up. Although as usual, my win came about by some very questionable playing by my opponent and I missed a very important queen move through most of the beginning of my attack. However, I pulled it out with a pretty mate at the end.

Also, I've included playable variations of mates that I missed along the way. This is a new experiment and it takes a lot more work than just casually mentioning the mates that I overlook.

6.g3 Qh6 7.Bg2 d5 8.Nc3 Nf6 9.O-O Bb4 10.a3 Ba5
{It might have been smarter to trade this off for the knight, since the center is all locked up and knights are probably a bit stronger. Also, it's just generally good to trade off pieces when you're ahead in material.}
11.Nb5 Bd7
{I missed a GREAT move here. 11...Ng4 and the queen has no where to go and nothing can interpose. Wow. I'd have to drop a few pawns after 12. Nxc7+ Kd7 13. Nxd5 Bxd1. But, I could have picked up the queen.}

Jamiebubs vs. LindseyAnn 0-1

This is my first win since coming back to chess. It isn't pretty and I make a lot of mistakes. A day or two later, I lost a game terribly, so be expecting that to make it's way here soon enough.

{He's not doing the best job of getting his pieces out quickly and the advantage is shifting toward my favor.}

{While this was pretty much the only square this knight had to go to, he has now
blocked in the other knight.}
7...Be6
{I enjoy putting my pieces in this formation whenever possible. It might not have been all the best moves on my part, but look at it...}
8.Nb5 Re8
{It probably would have been best to play the breakthrough 8...dxe4 with all my pieces super active. But, I like to keep things as orderly as possible for as long as possible.}
9.N1c3 Be7 10.Bd3 a6
{At the time, I thought this move was really clever. The knight appears trapped, and indeed my opponent goes along with my flawed logic. However in truth, he had the response dxe4, ruining my plans. Better for me would have been to first play 10...e4 and then my plans work out better.}
11.Nxc7 Qxc7 12.f4 exf4

14.Be2 Bd6
{A pretty weak move, considering I had either Nxb4 or Bxb4 instead.}
15.O-O
{I've begun to slowly give away a lot of my advantage and it's a good thing that I was already up a knight because I'm about to make a stupid mistake.}
15...Bxe2
{I thought this move was totally brilliant because I totally overlooked his knight on c3. I think this is one of those moments where I wanted the tactic to be there
so bad, that I ignore the fact that it wasn't there at all.}
16.Nxe2 Re6
{Looking to play Rae8 and Qe7, with domination over the e-file. But, I over looked the obvious response...}
17.f5 Re4 18.Bg5
{Kind of a silly move, since my knight is much happier on g4 anyways.}
18...Ng4
{While I do like my knight on this square, Rae8 was a better way to start things off.}

{A mistake.}
19...Rxd4
{...and I finally win that pawn that's been waiting to be taken this whole game.}

1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3
{I love the Queen's Gambit. It's normally the only opening I ever play. This is the Marshall Variation, and it is customary for white to respond with 3. cxd5. That isn't really my style though, and I'll normally always play Nc3 on the third move.}
3...Nc6 4.Nf3 b6 5.e3 Bg4 6.cxd5 Nxd5 7.Be2
{Not the most aggressive placement of my bishop, but I hate pins.}
7...Nxc3 8.bxc3 g6 9.O-O Bg7 10.Qc2
{I made this move with the intention of playing Qe4. I knew there were a lot of defenses to this fork, but...}
10...O-O 11.Qe4 Qd6
{...he chose not to play the proper defense of Bd7 (although, this is another example of me relying on my opponents to make a mistake).}
12.Qxg4 a5 13.Qe4 f5 14.Bc4+ Kh8 15.Qh4
{According the computer, Qe6 is slightly better. But, I was going for a crushing king-side attack.}
15...e5 16.Ng5 h5
{This move I don't understand at all. 16...h6 would have gotten rid of my super powerful knight. Instead he's further weakened his king's position.}
17.Nf7+
{I was proud of finding this tactic, since this is the sort of thing that I miss a lot. After this I'm a bishop and an exchange.}
17...Rxf7 18.Bxf7 exd4 19.Qg5
{Sure, this move lets me take out the g-pawn, but his (eventual) c-pawn ends up being a pain for me later on. It would have been better to just take cxd4.}
19...dxc3 20.Bxg6 c2 21.Qxh5+
{Well, apparently I shouldn't have worried about his c-pawn, and I should have played 21. Bb2 because 21...Bxb2 would lead to a Mate in 3.}
21...Kg8 22.Bxf5 Qf6
{Bb2 would still be the best response, but I don't play it.}
23.Qh7+ Kf7 24.Bxc2 Qxa1 25.Bb3+
{Things are getting bleak for him. I'm not concerned about my missing rook, because my bishops and queen will dominate the rest of the game.}

1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.f3 Bc5 4.Nh3
{Hmm, a knight on the rim is grim comes to mind. }
4...Nc6 5.Ng5
{While a knight on g5 can be decisive in middle and late games, there is no point in putting him there with no back-up so early in the game.}
5...O-O 6.Nc3 Nh5
{I played this move wanting to get my knight to f4 and hoping that he might not notice that this opened up a discovery...}
7.Nd5
{...He did not notice. I've said before, it's never good to depend on your opponent
to make mistakes, but it certainly helps sometimes.}
7...Qxg5 8.Qe2
{It's pretty much downhill from here for white. He should have played Kf1 to defend the g2 pawn.}
8...d6
{I'm not sure why I played this move. The obvious response was 8...Nf4, I'll get around to it eventually.}
9.d3 Nf4 10.Qd1
{Another misstep, giving me the g-pawn.}
10...Qxg2 11.Rf1 Bh3
{From here I was convinced that mate was guaranteed. It is for the most part, but he would make me work for it.}
12.Bxf4
{I think this move was important for him to make, because my knight was pretty dangerous. The computer thinks d4 is better, which makes sense because my dark-square bishop is also pretty dangerous.}
12...Qxf1+ 13.Kd2 Qf2+ 14.Kc1
{Qe2 with a trade would have gotten a lot of the pressure off of him. Instead he chooses to retreat.}
14...exf4 15.Nxf4
{I, thankfully, did not miss the fork...}
15...Be3+ 16.Kb1 Bxf4 17.b3 Bg2 18.Kb2
{And he's given me another beneficial exchange.}
18...Be5+ 19.Kb1 Bxf3
{I of course miss it, but for anyone who's interested: 19...Qd4 20.c3 Qxc3 21.d4 Bxd4 22.Qc1 Qxa1+ 23.Kc2 Qxa2+ 24.Kd3 Nb4+ 25.Kxd4 Qf2+ 26.Kc3 Na2+ 27.Kd3 Nxc1+ 28.Kc3 Na2+ 29.Kd3 Bf1#}
20.Qc1 Bxa1
{I went for the material advantage with Bxa1, however the computer recommended Nd4. Once the knight gets in the game it's pretty much an automatic loss, instead of a slow and painful loss for white. Once I find myself in a winning position, I tend to just try and trade down to fight it out in a overwhelmingly winning endgame (evenish endgames I avoid like the plague)... I was in this mentality at this point in the game.}
21.Kxa1 Nd4 22.a4 Rfe8
{I'm not sure why I didn't play Nxc2+. My whole intention after playing Nd4 was to take out the c-pawn (the only thing holding his pawns together at this moment). I eventually play it, I'm just wondering if there was a reason that I hesitated.}
23.Ka2 Nxc2 24.Kb2
{All I want now is to trade queens, take his pawns and mate him.}
24...Nd4+ 25.Ka3 c6 26.Qc3 d5
{I thought this was a clever way of getting rid of his last minor piece, but I missed a Mate in 12 here (not surprisingly): 26...Nc2+ 27.Ka2 Nb4+ 28.Kb1 Rxe4 29.Qxb4 Qg1+ 30.Kb2 Re2+ 31.Qd2 Rxd2+ 32.Kc3 Qc1+ 33.Kd4 Re8 34.Bxf7+ Kxf7 35.b4 Re4#}
27.Bxd5 cxd5 28.exd5 Rac8
{From here, mate is assured. }
29.Qb2 Qxb2+ 30.Kxb2 a5

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3
{This is a weird second move for me, usually I'll just continue with c4, but maybe just wanted to shake things up.}
2...Nc6 3.e4 Na5 4.Nf3 Nh5
{I've never seen such crazy opening moves. The funny thing is, he manages to win a fair number of games playing this way.}
5.Be2 e6 6.O-O
{I'm playing a bit conservatively. The position probably called for some more aggressive play, especially considering how poor his development is.}
6...Bb4 7.Bd2 Bxc3 8.Bxc3
{Yes, I would love to trade my knight for your bishop in what is sure to be an open game.}
8...Nc6 9.Ne5
{When I played this move, I thought it was more clever than it actually is. 9. d5
would have probably been a better choice.}
9...Nf6 10.Nxc6 bxc6
{I'll settle for doubling his pawns though.}
11.Qd3
{The computer keeps suggesting that I push either the d or e-pawn, but the truth is, I like to keep the classical pawn center for as long as I can. I feel like it gives me a nice space advantage, and as long as they're not weakness, I don't see the point of splitting them up.}
11...d5 12.e5
{Now, I feel, was an appropriate time to push the e-pawn.}
12...Ne4 13.f3
{This move takes my bishop out of the game a bit. It may have been better to start attacking his weak c7 pawn, but I smell a pawn storm brewing--and, if I can kick his knight off that square in the process, I see no harm.}
13...Ng5 14.Bd2 f6 15.f4
{The computer thinks I should have started trying to penetrate on the queen-side, via the weak dark squares... but, I love a good king-side attack (probably to my detriment)}
15...Nf7 16.Qg3 g5
{He should have just castled and saved himself a lot of grief.}
17.fxg5 Rg8 18.Rxf6 h6
{As soon as I started putting pressure on his king-side, he never really defended properly. Nh8 would have actually been better for him here, because after Raf1 he's in big trouble.}
19.Raf1
{And while this pretty much destroys him, it would have actually been better for me to just play 19. Rxf7 Kxf7 20. Rf1+, but things are still really bad for him.}
19...hxg5 20.Bh5
{Well, I missed a forced mate in 8 (20.Rxf7 Bb7 21.Bh5 Qe7 22.Rxe7+ Kxe7 23.Qa3+ Kd8 24.Rf8+ Kd7 25.Rf7+ Kc8 26.Qe7 Rg6 27.Qxc7#) However, I actually manage to mate him in the next 7 moves, so I'm not really sweating it.}
20...Kd7 21.Rxf7+ Qe7 22.Rxe7+ Kxe7 23.Bxg5+ Kd7 24.Rf7+ Ke8 25.Re7+ Kd8 26.Rg7#
{This is probably one of the longest mating patterns I've ever seen in advance. I missed the mate in 8, but after that I played perfectly (something very rare, indeed).}

{I'm not playing great moves, but I'm also not playing terrible moves. When I'm playing against someone close to me in skill-level, I tend to try and make the best moves possible until they make a mistake. The only problem ends up being my "best moves possible" usually aren't subjectively the best moves and I tend to build up small weaknesses. My only hope is that my opponent slips up soon.}
