[Result "*"] 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bf4 Bf5 5. e3 e6 6. g3 b5 $4 {[%c_effect
b5;square;b5;type;Blunder;keyPressed;undefined;persistent;true] In an online
event we'd be left wondering if this was a mouseslip instead of 6.b6. Suffice to
say, this was not.} 7. Nxb5 {The threat on c7 is superficial but difficult for a
beginner to deal with.} (7. Bxb5 $1 {[%c_effect
b5;square;b5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The best move because White can add
attackers to the pin.}) 7... a6 $2 {[%c_effect
a6;square;a6;type;Mistake;persistent;true] A second blunder from Disguised Toast
and now he is in trouble.} 8. Nxc7+ $1 {[%c_effect
c7;square;c7;type;GreatFind;persistent;true]} 8... Kd7 9. Nxa8 Qxa8 10. c3 Ng4
11. Ne5+ Ke7 12. Nxc6+ Kd7 13. Nb8+ Kc8 14. Qa4 {Black is in dire straits and
many thought that White was moments away from checkmating.} 14... g5 $4
{[%c_effect g5;square;g5;type;Blunder;persistent;true] An attempted distraction
tactic gone horribly wrong. Black blunders checkmate in one.} 15. Qe8+ $2
{[%c_effect e8;square;e8;type;Mistake;persistent;true] White misses the
checkmate but still manages to play a sharp move.} (15. Qd7# {Boom.}) 15... Kb7
16. O-O-O $2 {[%c_effect c1;square;c1;type;Mistake;persistent;true] Missing
checkmate in two.} (16. Qc6+ Ka7 17. Qxa6#) 16... gxf4 17. gxf4 $2 {[%c_effect
f4;square;f4;type;Mistake;persistent;true] A double piece blunder from Pointcrow
puts Disguised Toast right back in the game.} 17... Nxf2 18. Qd7+ Kb6 $2
{[%c_effect b6;square;b6;type;Mistake;persistent;true]} (18... Kxb8 {Black is
better in this position due to a significant material advantage.}) 19. Qc7+ $4
{[%c_effect c7;square;c7;type;Blunder;persistent;true] A blunder to trump all
blunders. Alexandra Botez would have been proudly sitting in the Galen Center
admiring the Botez gambit on display.} 19... Kxc7 20. Rd2 Qxb8 21. Rxf2 f6 22.
Rg2 Qb6 23. b4 {Generally pawns shouldn't be moved on the same side as your
exposed king but White is desperate to create chaos here.} 23... a5 $1 {[%c_effect
a5;square;a5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] This move deserves an exclamation
mark. Once White's queenside is getting carved up here.} 24. bxa5 Qxa5 {[%cal
da5c3,df8a3,da5a3][%c_arrow
a5c3;keyPressed;none;from;a5;opacity;0.8;to;c3;persistent;false,f8a3;keyPressed;none;from;f8;opacity;0.8;to;a3;persistent;false,a5a3;keyPressed;none;from;a5;opacity;0.8;to;a3;persistent;false]
Threats everywhere for Black now.} (24... Qb1+ {Stockfish declares checkmate in
20 but White can be forgiven for not seeing this one through...}) 25. Rb2 $2
{[%c_effect b2;square;b2;type;Mistake;persistent;true] Blundering another piece
which proved fatal.} 25... Qxc3+ 26. Kd1 Qxb2 27. Bb5 Qb1+ 28. Kd2 Qxh1 29. a4
Qxh2+ 30. Kd1 Qh1+ 31. Kd2 Rg8 {A lovely move bringing in the cavalry to finish
the job.} 32. Kc3 Rg2 33. a5 Qc1+ 34. Kb3 Qb1+ 35. Ka4 (35. Kc3 Rc2# {Also
checkmate.}) 35... Ra2# 0-1 |
