i had this position analized before you played 13...Nb4 ... so i was expecting Bxh3.. but i have the impression of just playing vs rybka on higher depths.. here i must analize again but i decided ill wait for your moves because there are tons of possible continuations and i think the position is won already.. i bet alot of weaker engines win it against rybka

.. its won.. i think i can do it without engine..but im a bit scared and noone would believe me anyway

ok, i decided to try without engine because i dont feel like i have to proof anything from here on. already started analizing with my real board. i really want to do this and if i analize on my computer i fear it tempts me to start the engines :)

ill share a few of my thoughts and hope you will as well help me out a little bit with yours and rybkas. if i play a complete blunder feel free to tell me immediatly lol, i accept my loose and i wont ever beg for a takeback.
first, i want to trade queens directly wich makes it way easier for me and afaik my bishop is stronger than those 3 pawns, alltough i guess its theoretically too early to trade (hopefully not much too early). also i feel much more comfortable now, i think theres no possibility that i loose this game. idk what score rybka gives my move. all i know is it was neither her first nor her 2nd choice (before i decided to play without engine, i think i spent about half an hour analizing the rybka moves Qh1 and Bh6+ and alltough they won, i didnt understand everything, so i cant play it..also i cant really remember). without her, i dont have the possibility to find out if this position is already a draw now. i just really dont think so.. if it is, bad luck for me.
my plan is to use my h pawn to keep you on your kingside and will so try to get rid of your queenside pawns before they get into a save position. so ill use my bishop to care about my h pawn and hold off your kingside pawn (-s, which of them ever stays on board) thats usually enough work for a bishop... and at my first two tries it worked quite good on my board.
but i must admit it now seems much easier than i first thought to fall into a dead draw.
looking foward to your next move.. i now already have much more fun with that game

> Since you're no longer using an engine I have to be as tricky as possible, that requires a rook, thus:

what rook? you had that rook before it was on e8 lol
and why would you trade the rook unsolicited?  alltough im not unhappy with it because trading pacifies a good position. so i must admit i like and expected to keep my rook anyway. yes, its harder for me to play with two pieces against one, than one against zero but theoretically it shouldnt mather.. i anyway cant afford mistakes. and btw my plan is to trade that rook against a pawn ;P
  but i must ask what your move has to do with trading rooks or not. i was thinking about it and cant get behind the secret.
the problem is obviously my c pawn, i missed that (like i said i thought f5 is forced...)  yeah, i got a bit scared when i analized the move before playing Rg1 it seemed like its not a real possibility because i think the f pawn is much weaker, so i think i can be quite happy.. it gives me tempo because my bishop is on the right line and i was scared that g pawn could get me into troubles... so lets just get it:

1. f4 e5 2. e4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Nc3 d6 5. d4 Bg7 6. g3 g4 7. Nh4 f3 8. Be3 Nf6 9. Qd3 O-O 10. O-O-O Nc6 11. h3 Re8 12. hxg4 Bxg4 13. Bh3 Nb4 14. Qf1 Nxe4 15. Nxe4 Qe7 16. Bd2 Nxa2+ 17. Kb1 Qxe4 18. Bxg4 Qxd4 19. Qb5 Qxg4 20. Nf5 a6 21. Qd7 h5 22. Rh4 Qg6 23. Ne7+ Rxe7 24. Qxe7 Bf6 25. Qe3 Bxh4 26. gxh4 Kf8 27. Qxf3 Qg4 28. Qxg4 hxg4 29. Rg1 Re8 30.Rxg4

(have to be more careful, to be honest i didnt see that line when i was taking the queen so thank god my rook traps the knight as well, i got shocked for a few seconds when analizing 29...Re8 before i played Rg1 and back then i thought its over or i have to think about another move and a completly new plan.. you know, i cant afford getting the defender. thats exactly what mostly happens when i play against rybka or any other engine)

i decided for taking with the rook first and i hope it is the right way (i get less and less confident with that whole thing). i also had the possibility of playing bh6 but i definetly want your king to get away from my h pawn (instead of forcing it to walk there) because i think it will later need to go there to stop it, else i think your rook is trapped on the h-line or even gone or something. i must by all means use my damn strenght of having 2 pieces against one... it must work.
sucks that i have to loose that c-pawn but im not too worried about it, because Nc3 was always possible giving me those double pawns and i remember it was no problem for rybka when i was analizing before so i dont care alltough it doesnt look nice. the h pawn is my only hope..so yes, Re8 was a good alternative to f5... i even guess Rxg4 was forced.. i think h5 Rh4 is a good plan now.

its much harder to decide playing a move without checking it with an engine.  so please dont laugh if my score falls and im talking crap all the time, like about a fu**ing edgepawn when im in truth mate in 20 (id prefer loosing that way than loosing because my plans, thoughts and estimations on my positions were useless crap)

sorry, this move took quite long..alltough now after playing it it looks quite simple.. didnt expect your move at all but it looks like my h pawn would have been really strong after 30...Re2 directly.
it took so long because i wasnt able to get any good position from Bh6+, i hope i didnt miss something but its because your king gets to g6 and my rook cant get away from the 4th before i take your knight so my bishop need to get back to d2 anyway and ill loose my c pawn and if i take the knight with the rook (like Ra4 Rxa2) Re1+ traps my bishop and you can play Re4 to get my h pawn because i cant play Bg5 due to draw by move repetition (re1+ Bc1 re4 Bg5).
all those problems and more came up after playing it and i also played it out twice with the score of 0,5-1,5
however, i have to move my rook and it looks like i can keep my c pawn.. you obviously changed your plan.. or you already had anotherone
Rf4 and Rg5 was my first idea: taking your f pawn with check. it first seemed to work ...after Rf4 Re2 Rxf5+ Kg7 i have to move my bishop and your knight is free but i can play Rd5 and just cover the bishop and i was about to play it but then got shocked because i saw i loose my h pawn after Re4..
Rg2 simply looses my h pawn after Ng4 Bxg4 and Re4 im not able to cover it
so those moves were trapped and i had to find something else (nice try ;P)
Ra4 was also a possibility but i didnt think its necessary and i didnt like Re2 followed by Nc3
also didnt play it because Rc4! looks alot better defending my c pawn and most importantly it attacks yours. my bishop gets to g5 (without loosing the c pawn) to hold your f pawn and cover my h pawn.. there are tons of possible continuations but all look bad for you..
31...Nc3 got a stupid move now and im happy about not getting those double pawns
31...c5/c6 gives time to take your knight and i could maybe continue with Bf4 and youll loose a pawn
31...Re2 also doesnt work anymore because my c pawn is covered and after Bf4 you also loose a pawn after i took your knight
31...Re4 i would decide to trade and win the endgame
31...Re7 looks bad too because of Bg5
31...Rc8 is too passive

my position looks better than it did a few moves before
i wasnt far away from playing Rf4 or Bh6+ and it would have been a huge mistake. is that the reason you played f5?

thanks for not keeping me in suspense.. i didnt have any idea what you will play..
maybe you chose this because the first idea a human gets doesnt work (32.Bh6+ Kf7 33.Rxc7+? Kg6!), maybe its also just the best answer.. however, playing f5 was a very good idea.
as i said i plan to answer with 32.Bf4.. the idea is taking the c7 pawn which gets possible because your knight still cant get to b4 (because of Bxd6+ for example 32.Bf4 d5 33.Rxc7 Nb4 34.Bd6+)
so depending on how important the c pawn is for the game, you will want to cover it and i found more ways for you to do so than i first thought.. already had a closer look at Re7 and Re6 (and Re4 for sure)
im happy with the positions is get but before i play, i will have to analyze a5, Nb4, Rf7 and maybe also a few moves that dont cover the c7 pawn at all. so there is alot of work to do
if one of those moves is too good i think i have to play 32.Bg5 and it looks like a good and solid alternative too..

after you successfully managed to keep your king on the kingside it all got a bit harder.. it looks like my h pawn is not enough to win anymore.. i mustnt talk that much about my long term plans anymore lol.. i wonder if rybka still gives me a positive score but i fear it depends on whether i missed something tatical or not..i look foward to analyze this game afterwards

finally i can start to prove my win. it was a hard game until here, i wonder what stuff you'll come up with to keep this

the only other move that made any sense to me was Rb3.. it will be my next move for 90%, unless u play Re1 which does make sense because f1 and h1 are white fields.. maybe Kc1 would have been a good idea as well but im too lazy now

i wont play any longer than until move 40 and then ill start an engine if you want to play on. its alot of work not falling into some kind of trap. if it was a blitz game it would maybe be exciting but spending about 30 minutes for every move from now on is quite annoying.

actually it would be nice if you resign already.. i guess rybka gives +3 or even +5 eval (dont want to underestimate her) and is trying to find the longest way to avoid blacks loss (unnecessary attacks on my bishop and silly checks)

i understand if you want to try out something tricky and im ok with that until move 40 :/

the mistake was 13...Nb4 imo..(actually this knight made 4 moves and all of them looked kind of bad :)) i found 23.Ne7+!! directly at my 14th move (with rybka for sure). i remember my position back then was pretty bad and i was hoping for a draw. i wasnt sure back then if it ever comes to this position but it was inside of a rybka mainline and there didnt seem to be a real way to avoid that trade and i was really happy finding that move. i still have the opinion that the kings gambit is crap. you get a nice center but everything is breaking and falling in itself and you have tons of problems and threats to deal with all the time + black is a pawn up that until it gets weak is extremely annoying.

if you want we can go back to a move of your choice and play a new game afterwords

you make a good job.. i never thought it will be that hard. i didnt think i could get faced with so many problems to deal with.

i wonder if i should have played Kc1 somewhere...
