I resign. thanks for the game

[Capablanca-Fan]

A most unusual game. Early on, White didn't have anything for the exchange, esp. with doubled f-pawns as well. But a few moves later, Black's N was on h3 and defended very shakily with an unstable P. It almost looked like White had turned the tables by winning a piece. However, with the reduced material, the R became very strong and the B+M were uncoordinated.

[Desmond]

Yes I had seen much earlier that I would probably pick up that knight, but by the time I got it I think I was close to lost.

if i had played ....Qg4 immediately instead of ...Qf5/Qg4/Rg3 it would have been much worse for white. white then wouldnt have the option of traversing his queen back to f1. the knight seemed to be serving a pretty good purpose on h3.

i didnt really think the position was bad for me even if i popped the rook out to h8, although it seemed a less than optimal duty for it to perform.

Very entertaining one. Cheers. (Sorry i cant get the PGN viewer working)

[Sir Cromulent Sparkles]

The potential 3 times rep at move 34 helped a lot to allow me to start getting adventurous again.

Its a pity i missed 38....Nf4+ as i had considered it as one of my potential moves on the 30th.


Something like 30....nf4, 31 gxf4 exf4, whites bishop retreats and then i play ....Be5, ....h5.

Im not sure what this leads to but it seemed rash even for my liking.
