Opening so passive and then game became so agressive. For a long time, the spectators thought black is losing. Hard game. At the end I had only 45 seconds to spare.

Wow! What a wild game. There may be a few inaccuracies in the notation, however. 29. Bd2 not possible, must be Be2 and 33. Bb4 not possible, must be Bb5 and lastly 47. was Bc3+ Kh7 not Kh2. So, I think the game was actually this:

Black had misplayed at moves 21...Nc2 and 22...Qb6 and went from a even game to having a worse position. However, the critical moment began at move 25 and continued through to move 29. After 24...gxf5 white is evaluated as up +3.25 (FRITZ 10).
25.Nxd4? Bg6
26. Be3? Qd6? [f4! would have been better here for black because best for white then would have been 27.Bxf4 with now e4! forking knight and bishop!]
27. Rc1?? e5
28. Nf3 f4
29. Bd2?? completely swings the advantage to black with an evaluation now of -1.5, if 29...e4! would have been played. Even so 29...Be4 still favors black at -1.0. Also 31...Rxc4 may have been better than the d4 move for black.
But the beginning of the end comes with 37. Rg2?? now -3.54 and 38. Nh4?? -7.99. Fritz recommended for white 37. h4 (which still may be a game) and 38. Nxe4 may have held up for white, especially given blacks low clock. By now, however, black was clearly better.
Well done Marijan-4 pawns-Procyk!
Thank you, Mark!
ReplyDeleteI had on my MonRoi correctly, but made mistakes in rewriting. Sorry. Corrected.
I was evaluating 26...f4, but wanted to keep pawns. Same thing happened on 31st move. I was counting on whitesquared bishop.
Game is not much in first half, but I like second half, comming from worse position to e-pawn show supported by a bishop.
