There is a big difference between correspondence chess and blitz; blitz hardly allows the use of chess machines. Especially at the rate I am playing at: 3 minutes for a whole game, plus an additional 10 seconds for every move you make; most players around here wouldn't even have had their development in order: in the same time we heroes and heroines complete an entire game... try and think about that, for a while... |

1. e4 c5
|
still my favourite reply to e4: the Sicilian... |

|
| |
|
|
2. Nf3 g6 3. Ne5 Bg7 4. f4 e6
|
just striving for my usual setup in the Hungarion variation in the Sicilian: Ne7, ..., 0-0, ..., and play or prepare d5... best for White is probably Nc3, or exchanging the center with a direct d4... |

|
| |
|
|
5. Bb5
|
exotic, to say the least... |

|
| |
|
|
5... Ne7
|
Black could of course consider 5. ... Bxe5, 6. fxe5 Qh4+, 7. Kf1 Qxe4, 8. Qe1 Qf4+, and grab off some pawns; but black is on a mission... |

|
| |
|
|
6. O-O O-O 7. Nc4
|
White realizes, that Ne5 does not really help: but this retreat is already too much... |

|
| |
|
|
7... a6
|
not too hard to find... |

|
| |
|
|
8. Ba4 b5 9. Nd6 bxa4 10. e5
|
there was not much saving left for White: this obvious move however, makes it worse... |

|
| |
|
|
10... Bb7
|
not at all bothered by the opportunity of f6!, exf6, Bxf6, c3, Qb6, Nxc8, Rxc8... or Nxb7, Qc7, Nd6, f6, exf6, Bxf6, Ne4, Bd4+... |

|
| |
|
|
11. c3
|
the key move, but badly planned... |

|
| |
|
|
11... Qb6
|
Qc7 and Bd5 were other options; this works better for me... |

|
| |
|
|
12. Kh1
|
missing the point here: neccesary was Nb1-a3-c4, and drive the Black Queen away from this dangerous position... |

|
| |
|
|
12... Nf5 13. d4
|
there was no redemption in Nxf5, exf5, Qxa4, d6!, d4, cxd4, cxd4, dxe5, dxe5, f6, Qc4+, Kh8... |

13... Nxd6 14. dxc5
|
a bit tougher was exd6, cxd4, cxd4, Qxd6, etcetera; this is too much... |

|
| |
|
|
14... Qc6
|
no rocket science involved here... |

|
| |
|
|
15. Qxd6
|
I have played a lot of games of chess in my life, but I still fail to be able to explain moves like this; we are running out of questionmarks here: anyway, after the very much needed 15. Qe2 Nf5, 16. b4 axb3, 17. axb3 f6, the game is over also... |
