@@ابويمن-ه4ي Not necessarily! Both moves don't seem to have affected subsequent play as the black king's position seems irrelevant to what transpired. (Until it did :) )
A great game showing how incredibly quickly victory can turn into defeat - and vice versa - in chess. The complexity and subtlety of chess is absolutely amazing.
Congratulations, Shreyas! I'm not good at guesstimating a chess player's potential, but I certainly hope we'll be seeing more of him from now on in the big tournaments. Could be a worthy wild card inclusion into some upcoming tournaments?
Usually the Critical Moment of the game, unless it is an endgame, occurs form move 12-30 or so. This game clearly shows the problem with choosing 'Natural Moves' in a tense and complicated situation. Hard it is to calculate moves when you assume you have the better of it thinking most any 'Natural Move' will do the job. Thanks for showing such a game !!
This is what makes chess so fascinating and simultaneously infuriating. 30 or 40 good moves can be entirely undone by one bad move. There is no other game out there in which you could be dominating, and then lose it all from one mistake.
Sad ending to the game. Kh8 to escape checks ended up being his downfall. I used to watch GM Hebden play blitz a lot on the ICC. I also used to be a KID player, but I gave that up long ago. I've never played 1 d4 so I have no experience facing it as white, but I get nervous when I see that h3 move thinking "well, we put 3 pawns in the center and now we're slowing down to play another pawn move". I know it's theory, but I have no issue believing you have to play it accurately or you can get in trouble. Just as a general rule, personally, I don't like playing slow (non-developing moves) in the opening and I don't like moving pawns in front of my king. So that move was like a double negative to me, despite it being completely fine I'm sure. It's just counter intuitive for me. Interesting game though, thanks for sharing.
Rd2 looked like a bad move in any case. It is not even doing much, plus giving f file to white. Might have just played Nc5 I guess. P.S. I never understood the idea of King's Indian. We give up center, get cramped and one of our main moves - e5, exchanges queens. If I wanted to equalize, stay solid and defend, I would have played Slav.
Rhymes in your presentation 1. Slightly annoying pin and maybe this knight is coming in. 2. Black has broken through, rook looks excellent on f2. 3. Time for me to have a drink, time for you to have a think.
Pedantic as usual (me). At one point near the end in your analysis after Nc5 you reach (pawn) "G4 is mate". It isn't because the black queen covers g4. However, so does the Bishop on e6, so (after g4+ Qxg4) Bxg4 IS mate. (Hoping that the white king was on h3 at the time :) )
