robertj(1649) whispers: King's Indian: Fianchetto, Classical, 8.e4 exd4 9.Nxd4 Re8 10.h3 Nc5
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Kiril plays his favorite fianchetto variant
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Ndb5 is a good idea, black hasnt c7-c6 now
Scenic(2347) kibitzes: Ne5 is the standard move here
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: I usually try to close game
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: playing vs engines
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Kiril accepted the challenge, position is pretty open
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: is it possible to close the game.. how will Kiril do that now
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty is programmed to think longer when it leaves the opening
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: KID is very strategically risky opening
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: white can close the game easily
Scenic(2347) whispers: After Ne5 now, then white usually takes c5 with the bishop
theUAF(1773) whispers: Crafty's standard time management is not very good}
Nb6 {[%emt 0:06:05]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=16; eval=+0.01; nps=8.4M; nfp=56.75; time=6:26; egtb=0
Quadblade(1928) kibitzes: chesstellevision.com says this was popular in the 40s and 50s
Scenic(2347) whispers: It looks as if Nb6 is a Novelty...
theUAF(1773) whispers: how much time does crafty use when out of book robert?
FusterCluck(1686) whispers: what is the point of Nb6?
Scenic(2347) whispers: funny c4 attack?
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: is it a good idea for white to paly Bd4 and exchange the dark square bishops
DeanA(2196) whispers: and to get out Bc8.
Mekk(1758) whispers: What is white to do with Nb5? It seems misplaced to my naive eye...
robertj(1649) whispers: is black's c7 pawn weak?
Scenic(2347) whispers: INFO: CraftyNovus is out of book now. Nb6 was the first calculated move.
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Bxc5 is principal
BlkSabb(1765) whispers: ...Nb6 seems to be a novelty
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: forced line QxQ Nxc7 and Bf1
Scenic(2347) whispers: yes ChessBase says Nb6 is novelty, but they are sometimes not 100% right:)
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: not sure black has enough compensation for a pawn}
14.Bxc5 {[%emt 0:06:13]} dxc5 {[%emt 0:00:01]

15.Qxd8 {[%emt 0:00:04]
Mekk(1758) whispers: I remember crafty sometimes misplayed endings...
unluckythirtyfive(1551) whispers: drawish?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: black will fight for a draw
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: isnt RxQ only move now
Mekk(1758) whispers: What about bxc3 after Nxc7?
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: White will win 100% of these pure pawn endings.}
Rxd8 {[%emt 0:01:09]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.46; nps=9.5M; nfp=80.37; time=1:13; egtb=0}
16.Nxc7 {[%emt 0:00:06]
SimianChatter(1925) whispers: is this a bit like a lopez exchange (strategy-wise) except white has the other bishop?
Scenic(2347) whispers: Rb8 is only move here. Bxc3 not an option.
SimianChatter(1925) whispers: and a pawn
robertj(1649) whispers: does not look good for black for my amateur eye
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Rb8 Bf1!
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Perhaps black can set up a fortress, but I believe computers are bad at such things.
DeanA(2196) whispers: Rb8 Bf1 Rd2 and then?}
Rb8 {[%emt 0:03:09]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.59; nps=9.7M; nfp=83.96; time=3:24; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: is there any compensation fpr the pawn?
robertj(1649) whispers: *for
Scenic(2347) whispers: I think now after Bf1, Bd4 is playable too (or Be5)}
17.Rad1 {[%emt 0:00:50]
Scenic(2347) whispers: rook exchange then Be6 now maybe
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Be6!?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: its clear now, black has no winning chances at all
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Nb6 was dubious novelty
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty is thinking about Be6
Scenic(2347) whispers: true...
robertj(1649) whispers: but after that it may have an isolated pawn
Scenic(2347) whispers: is Bd4 still playable now?}
Be6 {[%emt 0:03:09]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.29; nps=9.7M; nfp=83.19; time=3:09; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: isolated e pawn and pawn down, can this be held
Scenic(2347) whispers: rook exchange and N3d5 now?
DeanA(2196) whispers: This does not look hopeless at all for black imo
MAd(1611) whispers: why exchaning rooks?
RegalOne(0) whispers: IMHO, all black can hope for is a draw
Scenic(2347) whispers: rook maybe better on e file if N lands on d5
robertj(1649) whispers: will black's b pawn fall?}
18.Nxe6 {[%emt 0:02:52]} fxe6 {[%emt 0:00:26]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=22; eval=+0.50; nps=9.8M; nfp=95.65; time=3:18; egtb=0
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: black has good chances to draw
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: d5
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: opposite colored bishops
Scenic(2347) whispers: So back to your Bf1 now, Petrovich?
Mekk(1758) whispers: No, +0.50 means crafty considers white to have significant plus
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: yep what else
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Bf1
Scenic(2347) whispers: maybe e5 (with or without rook exchange first) an idea?
RegalOne(0) whispers: I like B3 myself
Mekk(1758) whispers: b3 Bxc3
Scenic(2347) whispers: ;)
RegalOne(0) whispers: Then Crafty can have the knight :)
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Difficult to win for white.
Mekk(1758) whispers: Maybe black could try to play e5 and knight d7-f8-e6-d4 ?
GBate(1724) whispers: Difficult for players like us, maybe ;)
robertj(1649) whispers: looks like Crafty will end up with three isolated pawn, how can this be good?
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Yes, I find it difficult to activate the white  bishop and still have the advantage.
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: go Kiril:)
robertj(1649) whispers: what about b3
FusterCluck(1686) whispers: how about e5 followed by Nb5 - d6?}
19.e5 {[%emt 0:06:20]
Scenic(2347) whispers: b3 and the knight on c3 is toast:)
Mekk(1758) whispers: now Nb6 is pathetic...
proudpawn(1662) whispers: what about Nxc4 attacking e5
Scenic(2347) whispers: ok, now eat the c4 pawn, but I bet the comp will exchange rooks first and take on e5
FusterCluck(1686) whispers: from d6 white knight would be very powerfull
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Bf1 Bxc3 and Na4!? probably
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: e4-e5 is interesting try
robertj(1649) whispers: ah right Scenic, I can't see a combination of zero moves :)
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: an idea is to lock bishop g7 by Nxc4 f4!}
Rxd1 {[%emt 0:02:35]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=21; eval=+0.50; nps=9.8M; nfp=89.67; time=2:34; egtb=0
Mekk(1758) whispers: Nxd1 or e5 falls....
Scenic(2347) whispers: yes f4 looks strong after nxc4, but maybe the comp wont eat c4...
DeanA(2196) whispers: Seeing that f4 is strong after Nxc4 is hard for a comp.
Scenic(2347) whispers: either rx and bxe5 or nx and nxc4, only moves here i think
robertj(1649) whispers: so the material will be even then?
Mekk(1758) whispers: What is white to do after Rxd1 and Bxd5? Rd6 ?
Mekk(1758) whispers: of course not
Scenic(2347) whispers: after rxd1 bxe5 then Ne4! looks neat
robertj(1649) whispers: is black's knight permanently or temporarily bad?}
20.Rxd1 {[%emt 0:05:44]} Bxe5 {[%emt 0:00:01]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=21; eval=+0.48; nps=10.1M; nfp=102.56; time=5:45; egtb=0}
21.Ne4 {[%emt 0:00:13]
Starbreeze(0) whispers: Rybka shows +0,38
DeanA(2196) whispers: If black can play Nxc4 nw, the knight is good not bad.
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: almost =
Scenic(2347) whispers: the Bd4 idea for black comes back to my mind:) go for f2 ;)
robertj(1649) whispers: Crafty thinks about Bd4 now
Scenic(2347) whispers: but maybe nxc4 or bxb2 even better. i dunno}
Bd4 {[%emt 0:01:50]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.47; nps=9.9M; nfp=99.61; time=2:02; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: GMPetrovich, isn't black worst?
DeanA(2196) whispers: Bd4 and Nd7 is possible
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: b3}
22.b3 {[%emt 0:01:23]
Mekk(1758) whispers: a4 ?}
Na8 {[%emt 0:00:35]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=19; eval=+0.48; nps=9.7M; nfp=91.26; time=1:59; egtb=0
Litovec(1783) whispers: great knight
Scenic(2347) whispers: na8?! wow whats that? I thought rd8 or something....
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Nc7
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Nb6 was really bad placed
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: Ng5
DeanA(2196) whispers: lol no one bet on Na8?
Scenic(2347) whispers: Nd6 now looks promising
robertj(1649) whispers: I think the knight has to be activated
Scenic(2347) whispers: no, deana
DeanA(2196) whispers: Rf8 followed by Nd7 looked much better to me than Na8.
Mekk(1758) whispers: after Nd7 Nxc5 ?
DeanA(2196) whispers: Rf8 first...}
23.h4 {[%emt 0:03:03]
DeanA(2196) whispers: Then there were all kinds of xf2 possibilities.
Scenic(2347) whispers: h4 was kind of unexpected;)
Mekk(1758) whispers: Planning Bh3?}
Nc7 {[%emt 0:01:27]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=19; eval=+0.42; nps=9.9M; nfp=99.50; time=1:26; egtb=0
Scenic(2347) whispers: So CN is going for nc7 plan now, no?}
24.Rd2 {[%emt 0:00:57]
DeanA(2196) whispers: White is a tiny bit better in the endgame. A good starting point for winning against a strong comp.}

25.Bf3 {[%emt 0:00:46]
robertj(1649) whispers: is black's e pawn a big weaknes?}
h6 {[%emt 0:01:23]

26.Kg2 {[%emt 0:00:08]
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: not big
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: i'd say "symbolic"
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Comp will hold position easily, i think}
Ne8 {[%emt 0:01:22]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=18; eval=+0.22; nps=9.9M; nfp=100.01; time=1:20; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: thanks GMPetrovich, can you explain to us amateur how do you asses that?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: black is going to exchange knights}
27.h5 {[%emt 0:02:06]
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: 273 RB vs RB is dead drawish..
Scenic(2347) whispers: type moves for ex, or look in your interface cesar
Scenic(2347) whispers: at least Georgievs plan is understandable;)}

CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.11; nps=10.0M; nfp=109.40; time=1:18; egtb=0}
28.Bg4 {[%emt 0:00:25]
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: i think its drawish but white looks like he stills has the initiative}
Kf7 {[%emt 0:01:17]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.10; nps=10.1M; nfp=111.54; time=1:16; egtb=0
robertj(1649) whispers: opposite coloured bishops, anybody knows something about those type of endings?
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: is it possible to exchange to a favourable endgame for white
bLAZinFiRe(2001) whispers: is bishop vs knight good for white
DeanA(2196) whispers: Getting Bd4 is going to take some effort though.
Mekk(1758) whispers: Nf6, NxN, e5 and how could white touch anything?
Scenic(2347) whispers: I wonder if f4 is now worth a try...}
29.Re2 {[%emt 0:03:37]
CLH(2143) whispers: Rb7
CLH(2143) whispers: Rb7Be6+}

CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.10; nps=10.1M; nfp=99.80; time=1:14; egtb=0
Scenic(2347) whispers: i was betting on e5 hm.....
DeanA(2196) whispers: e5 almost turns Bd4 into a pawn...
TimDin(1537) whispers: surely black should play e5 unless neccessary as it blocks in the bishop
Scenic(2347) whispers: could he continue with f4 now?
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: i dont like f4 though it looks to iffy}
30.Rd2 {[%emt 0:02:33]
Scenic(2347) whispers: too early to offer repetition...
Scenic(2347) whispers: will CraftyNovus now Nf6 and trade or Nd6... I just wonder
Mekk(1758) whispers: Ng7 -> f5. Just to make us guessing again}
Ke7 {[%emt 0:01:24]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=20; eval=+0.08; nps=9.9M; nfp=106.05; time=1:24; egtb=0
CLH(2143) whispers: and yet, some move like Nf6 would kill the game}
31.Kf1 {[%emt 0:00:28]
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Isn't the black king overloaded? A combination ?
Scenic(2347) whispers: for some reasons, Georgiev doesnt like f4... hmmm}
Nd6 {[%emt 0:01:10]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=19; eval=+0.08; nps=9.9M; nfp=102.92; time=1:09; egtb=0
pollocyk(1967) whispers: hows the black king overloaded?
pollock(1967) whispers: would be if bd4 wasnt there suppose}
32.Re2 {[%emt 0:00:20]
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Protect both rook and pawn.
CLH(2143) whispers: well I think f4 is kept in store. Just the type of "sit" tactics computers like, usually
robertj(1649) whispers: if the knights are to be exchanged how to assess the opposite colour bishop ending?
Scenic(2347) whispers: Nf7 now finally}
Nf7 {[%emt 0:01:10]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=19; eval=-0.03; nps=10.1M; nfp=103.05; time=1:09; egtb=0
Mekk(1758) whispers: Hmm, -0.03
pollock(1967) whispers: f4 gxf4 and both have ruined pawn structures?
DeanA(2196) whispers: If Ns are exchanged it looks a reasonably dead draw to me.
robertj(1649) whispers: why is knight good on f7?
Mekk(1758) whispers: Crafty thinks it has some plus. So it will be trying to win
pollock(1967) whispers: knight can go to e5 and stops nxg5 sac ideas
robertj(1649) whispers: 0.03 pawns is hardy any plus, but tru the first time in the game Crafty think it has "advantage"
pollock(1967) whispers: and stops the nxc5 sac here}
33.Rd2 {[%emt 0:02:35]} Rf8 {[%emt 0:00:01]
CraftyNovus(2382) whispers: ply=21; eval=-0.19; nps=10.1M; nfp=111.48; time=2:36; egtb=0
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: i have 2 ?'s how is black supposedly winnig (has the initiative)?
pollock(1967) whispers: white may be trying to engineer a3 b4
Scenic(2347) whispers: after not exchanging the knights now, N will come to e5... I think the situation is turned now...}
34.Kg2 {[%emt 0:02:09]
Scenic(2347) whispers: white is looking like a comp with no plan now, just shuffling pieces...
DeanA(2196) whispers: After Ne5 and g4, the pawn on h5 suddenly looks very weak
cesarsf(0) whispers: Ne5}
Ne5 {[%emt 0:01:08]

36.Rd1 {[%emt 0:00:05]
Scenic(2347) whispers: Be2 ????? wow...
Mekk(1758) whispers: Last square to enter play for bishop is probably c2...
Mekk(1758) whispers: is he going to h4??
pollock(1967) whispers: think so}

pollock(1967) whispers: this looks troublesome
robertj(1649) whispers: what?
DeanA(2196) whispers: Rh1 Nd2!?
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: gm petrovich what are ur feelings of be2  ?
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: do u think bd1 was better ?
Kvuzon(1722) whispers: Let the knight stand there?
Scenic(2347) whispers: f3 would have maybe hold against be2
Scenic(2347) whispers: only move is to exchange I guess...
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: nd2
pollock(1967) whispers: bxf3 gxf3 kh3? looks risky
Scenic(2347) whispers: kf1 is could maybe hold this...

Mekk(1758) whispers: What would white do with this knight? Rh4 not possible anymore, f pawn fixed...
Scenic(2347) whispers: Rh1 now, no?
pollock(1967) whispers: think if white knight was ignored black plays rf5 re5 and white has some problems}
38.Rh1 {[%emt 0:00:22]
northridgehawk(1695) whispers: yeah i like white again
pollock(1967) whispers: so fickle :)

GBate(1724) whispers: The BDG!  All right! :)
Scenic(2347) whispers: a Ryder gambit, long time no see ;)
Mekk(1758) whispers: Hmm, I have heard rumours that BDG is not sound. Interesting whether Kiril remembers why;-)
GBate(1724) whispers: We'll see :)
Scenic(2347) whispers: I bet Georgiev is kind of out-of-home-preparation now;)
NikolaAntonov(2059) whispers: Crafty chooses very rare opening. Susprise;)
robertj(1649) whispers: not sure if this pawn sacrifice is sound

DeanA(2196) whispers: I suspect GMs hate gambits when playing comps.
robertj(1649) whispers: I can't watch this, two pawns down against a GM on move 7

SimianChatter(1925) whispers: sure, but the blackmar-diemer is only good in fairy-tales
mtjab(2256) whispers: especially when they play gambits :) now it's quite different situation
chessartist(2073) whispers: then Qg4 queen exchange isn't it?
Harri(1790) whispers: if I remember correctly, it offers good chances of equality ;)
Scenic(2347) whispers: This is the most funny gambit that I have ever seen in a GM-Computer match...
NikolaAntonov(2059) whispers: It should be interesting game;)
chessartist(2073) whispers: where is white's advantaje?
Scenic(2347) whispers: still searching, chessartist;)
Scenic(2347) whispers: g3 should be obvious here...
gndo(1424) whispers: g3
LinusO(1897) whispers: not sure that you should weaken the kingsside with g3, ng3 is possible too
Scenic(2347) whispers: well after g3, then Bg4, Qg4 and even Qb4 is possible

GMPetrovich(0) whispers: very very strange 2.e4?
chessartist(2073) whispers: why is that? why'd he want to place he's knight there?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: i wonder whats openings book does comp use
robertj(1649) whispers: GMPetrovich the comp book is built from 2 million games
robertj(1649) whispers: might not be the best but it is conservative, should not have many errors, but who knows :)
Scenic(2347) whispers: Qh5 is Novelty !
Golub(1677) whispers: isn't it the blackmar-dieter gambit..?
ryoshu(1859) whispers: mhm, ryder variation
robertj(1649) whispers: Blackmar-Diemer: Ryder Gambit
NikolaAntonov(2059) whispers: Usually Qb4 is response here?
ryoshu(1859) whispers: after qxd4 was a trap
Scenic(2347) whispers: usual responses here would have been Qg4, Bg4 and Qb4
ryoshu(1859) whispers: qxf3 qxd4 :)
Mapleleaf(1949) whispers: so some silly gm plays blackmar diemar and it becomes book?
Scenic(2347) whispers: now after queen exchange, then Be3 and I wonder if white has enough play for TWO pawns...
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: well, white fights for equality now
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: instead of an opening edge
robertj(1649) whispers: it is not easy for me to watch comp two pawns down so early, but let us see what happens
Mapleleaf(1949) whispers: is white busted alredy here
chessartist(2073) whispers: white clearly develops faster here doesn't it?
mtjab(2256) whispers: i suppose only brave man can play BDG against gm... and comp too

GMPetrovich(0) whispers: its hopeless for white now

Golub(1677) whispers: sure this computer is alright?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: black need some accurate moves only
Harri(1790) whispers: I think there's the problem that crafty might not understand it's playing a gambit and after leaving book just sees itself down two pawns and sort of tries to limit damage
Mapleleaf(1949) whispers: Qxf3?? they should have had it play a normal blackmar
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: i'm not sure about high quality of corr games
NikolaAntonov(2059) whispers: I think Crafty's position is lost.
SimianChatter(1925) whispers: e7-e1/Q 0-1
robertj(1649) whispers: comp did not understand that it (he) needs the queen, as Kasparov said
Koff(2135) whispers: how so? :)
pollock(1967) whispers: poor crafty :(
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: QxQ was a 2nd suprise
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: 1st suprise was 2.e4
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Crafty is nervous:)
NikolaAntonov(2059) whispers: Yes.
ryoshu(1859) whispers: i like this opening, interesting, no queens :)
Scenic(2347) whispers: So Be3 now, and then?
NikolaAntonov(2059) whispers: Bg5 probably.
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: Be3 and 0-0-0
robertj(1649) whispers: what shoud white do in Blackmar-Diemer: Ryder Gambit?
vivalarevolution(0) whispers: its amazing crafty went into this line
vivalarevolution(0) whispers: is the comp just considering to resign?

NikolaAntonov(2059) whispers: suppose e5;)
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: e6 or e5!?
GMPetrovich(0) whispers: white will try to occupy xd6 then
proudpawn(1670) whispers: 8 pawns! ok, that is safe
Scenic(2347) whispers: I would go for e5 here, e6 blocks my bish
chestutr(1743) whispers: e5 would be more interesting
pollock(1967) whispers: e5 is a bit loose
pollock(1967) whispers: if really concerned about blocking bishop then bg4 could be candidate move

proudpawn(1670) whispers: will white castle queenside?
pollock(1967) whispers: looks likely has a pawn shield there
Sibahi(1370) whispers: no
scndBrz(1646) whispers: Yes, I think Qside
NikolaAntonov(2059) whispers: Why not e5?
mtjab(2256) whispers: i think so to defend b2 pawn and move rook out of a1
chessartist(2073) whispers: I think that because this way black develops faster
pollock(1967) whispers: e5 leaves d6 as a weak point and e5 pawn is undefended

chessartist(2073) whispers: I wouldn't be surprise if crafty does O-O
proudpawn(1670) whispers: after g4 there is only Nf6 which blocks the bishop
proudpawn(1670) whispers: somehow crafty's eval increased 0.7 pawn units

robertj(1649) whispers: GMPetrovich may I ask does white have any compensation for the pawns?

pollock(1967) whispers: ng3?

pollock(1967) whispers: go craftynovus
