Yeah, let's see. Does he play the King's Endian? I guess he does.
What do I do against the King's Endian? I guess I play the main line?
I
don't really
remember these lines very well, so
bear with me.
But you weren't supposed to go Knight F4 there.
Is that possible?
Am I running into some kind of T5 stuff there?
I don't know. I bet I can give up a piece.
Doesn't look convincing at all.
Maybe I'll just
continue building up my position then. For the moment, a Knight is not doing a ton on F4.
Yeah, it's very logical.
G3 is met by Fe and then Knight H3.
That I'm not sure that I love.
Let's go Rook A3. Very interesting. I'm thinking of this.
Let's see.
Normally, you don't love opening up the King's Side.
But I do feel like my Rook is ready to swing over and I'm generally better developed. So I feel like there are some
factors
that speak heavily in my favor here.
You know,
hopefully counterbalancing the
conventional wisdom that Black
should attack on the King's side in the King's Indian and White should predominantly play on the Queen's side.
Maybe E3 is clever. I think I'll go Fe and then EF4.
Now this I don't like for him at all. Okay, so his idea is here Knight H4.
That looks very suspicious to me.
Doesn't this exchange sack look
pretty amazing for me?
Here and I got my Bishop in.
Here and there.
My King is 1, Rook G1.
I don't know.
I don't see it for Monsieur Moaved.
Maybe Rook F6. At the very least, I got Bishop E6.
King F8.
King H1.
I think he probably has the take, but I don't see it. I go King H1 next and
I think I'm winning.
King H1. There's no...
Yeah, there's no Rook H6 because the Queen F7 mate.
Does he have Rook G6 maybe?
Which I missed.
Yeah, he does.
I can still keep some control of the game though.
Now...
Does this work?
How does this work?
Really, how does this work? Queen G6 and I have nothing.
Hmm...
No, I'm actually mating. Queen H5. Don't think he has a perpetual there.
Maybe he does. I mean, he has to take the Knight. There's no other choice to
keep the game even remotely interesting.
Queen H1, I think. It's the only chance.
I think I'm escaping. I'm not at all sure.
Where is he?
Let's see, King E1, Queen E4, Bishop E3, go to E2.
I think I'm escaping there.
Yeah, I think I'm getting away.
This is an unbelievable game.
Here, here, C2, and I think I'm getting away.
Okay, King G1, no more checks, and the game is over.
That might be the most interesting game I've ever played in Title Tuesday, to be honest.
Probably not the best game, but that was...
That was fun!
A4 is good. To here, that's not obvious.
Knight G5.
Yeah, I was thinking about E3, but I thought it was better there.
So, GF,
Queen H5,
Rook H3 is winning.
Six is correct. Rook G6, Queen H7! I didn't see this square. That's Knight G3.
Yeah, I didn't really think I was much better here.
That was a mis-evaluation.
Oh, Queen C4 was a draw.
Oh, Bishops.
Yeah, F3, King D2, Bishop H6 is not possible.
Okay. Yeah, I don't know. I don't care. A couple of...
A couple of weird moments there, but that was a fun game.
