Alright, it's my move, let me check something first :wink:

Okay, Ke7 is the move I'm sure... and Good luck and Good game! 

I have a ton of analysis in this and I have tested these lines before for practice.  I wonder how I did?

Kf8 is a move too I see, I need to look this up again.  By the way, I normally wouldn't play 4.Ng5, White gets only the smallest of advantages there, one of my chess friends, rated about 2000 (and with the ambition to play in a rated USCF tournament once a decade, I think), and I played quite a number of games in various positions here, Black is getting enough activity to mostly equalize in the critical lines.

By finding a few clever ideas I think I can bust all lines, Qe8, Rf8, and then Nd4 being the most difficult if I recall correctly.  I wonder if I will get to use them and if they have been played in corr.  White's concern is Qe8-h5 in a position in which I've already castled, although I do not think I castle in the key positions.  The key is how to make use the Ng5 in different positions.

This was the key move I had counted upon when I had played Nc3 and now Black will not get counterplay via Bg4 as is normal in similar Traxler lines.  Novelty according to my books and dbs.  I think that Black is already lost - White will stay ahead here in the ensuing play.

Yeah, no way I was playing that, specially considering that my mainlines still seem like draws. I know that if you said these positions are lost for Black, that I must be missing some key move somewhere, but I just can't see it.

I discarded 11...Bf5 very early in analysis, and focused in the non-transposing variations between 11...h6 and 11...Bb6, concluding that h6 was better, though I think white's best continuation after 11...Bb6 was 12.d4, and then 12...h6, anyway.

My goal is to get into a winning rook endgame.  My main line is a heavy piece ending with Black's king slightly more exposed and Black's rooks slightly awkwardly coordinated and I can target Black's structural weaknesses enough to win.  There are many variations, but intuitively I do not think Black has quite enough to hold and concretely I see ways to restrict Black's chances.  I think the key is that a queen trade sometimes is favorable to me when my rooks are better, and Black's structural deficits are such that this is enough to win.
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2011-11-17 21:28
Oh, wow! I've been focusing on analyzing the critical positions near the root, and in that I don't miss a move that you'd play that would ruin my analysis. I haven't analyzed any endgame and wouldn't dare to predict one.

Well, I certainly analyzed this move thoroughly, I think more thoroughly than any other ... and it's quite possible you assessed the ending not completely accurately, the engines can the positions with King exposure and I do not intend to liquidate as the engines suggest.  There is a horizon effect here.  I thought I was winning for sure after 12...Bb6, after 12...Qg6, I thought it is a more difficult technical exercise but it looks like I can win there too because I can achieve connected passed pawns.  Let's see...

For a while Rxf3 was my main line but I refuted it, and in the end I thought Rae8 was the only move that gives any chances.

Started analyzing with Houdini 1.5 in the middle of this game, it's a really great engine for analysis of long lines, but I cannot multitask when analyzing with it.  Must find out how to adjust parameters so it uses less memory when active.  Anyway Rybka is somewhat better for endings.

EDIT: Hmm, well maybe I missed a horizon effect line, that's unfortunate...
Parent - - By Schachmatt (****) [us] Date 2011-11-21 22:57
White resigns.  My analysis of exd6 Kf7 was woefully inadequate.  Well done!  Qe2 is a huge blunder, the most ambitious move, but quite unfortunately too slow.  White advantage is simply within draw bounds on the alternatives, so I have to go back to move 7 for real improvements.  At least I understand better why Bd5 is favored over Bb3, as concretely it seems Black has enough for a draw.  I am disappointed by my results of late and lapses in judgment, albeit in part consequent of playing positions that are less familiar to me, but this is part of the learning process.  I thank you for your efforts and quality play - it is not simple to analyze positions down material and with exposed King.
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2011-11-22 02:45
Wow! I never expected this game to end like this! You had me very scared with your assessments of the position calling the game won for white, I truly expected that the lines you were seeing were beyond my horizon and that I was going to be in trouble soon or in some endgame from outer space where white was winning but I just couldn't tell.

Thanks for the game and for allowing me to dig deeper in these positions, and for my better understanding of the implications of these lines for the Two Knights defense, a favorite opening of mine.  I think I'm better prepared for my future challenge against Moz in these variations again,

there's many variations if you play it thru rybka ed and kf7 qc4 and qb5 and all the endgames win for Black also.  White doesn't have a draw anywhere some weird tactics.  I just didn't consider Kf7, I was looking at too many moves in previous branches, in an otb game, kf7 is the only move to consider really... didn't see it coming. it's pretty impressive for black, he had to see until about this depth on some lines committing to a plan on move 7 and 8.

As Schammatt says, there are many variations, the moves of white are not sent in stone as it has many choices, but it seems it ends in an endgame with 3 pawns against Bishop in where an exchange of rooks leads to a black victory and white is paralyzed. I actually had projected something like this:

8/1pkb3R/8/p2P4/5r1P/1PP5/1P6/2K5 w - -


But I wouldn't venture to say that the end position was lost for white, you never know (I had planned to improve the line as the game continued, but it didn't).

And whoa! By looking at Schachmatt's PGN it seems he analyzed those variations much more thoroughly than I did :eek:
Parent - - By Master Om (Bronze) [in] Date 2011-11-23 17:04
You know You Talk too much. Few moves ago You said White wins and now you say White resigns. Without confirming anything saying is bit weird.
Traxler still has bite and is not refuted till now.

P.S. - will you complete our game we played at WBCCC and continued with different move ?
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2011-11-23 17:40
I love the whole atmosphere Schachmatt puts in his games, though, it makes them feel different.
