Since White can't ever play Kg1 due to Nf3, the Queen will easily reach e5 and take out the Bishop. | |||||

In normal circumstances White would most certainly resign now, but again this was a league game so he fought on a little while longer. | |||||

White resigned. I hope you enjoyed the game. What is (I hope) the learning point here? 1. Black equalised easily with a well-played opening. 2. White allowed his role as a favourite to affect his judgement, avoiding best continuation only because it is potentially drawish. This happens often and is usually a good chance for an alert underdog. 3. White was not sufficiently psychologically prepared to handle Black's initiative, missing few crucial moves in a delicate position. This is connected to the second point. 4. The Queen manoeuvre is very typical and should be remembered. This motive appears relatively often and should be "seen" rather than calculated. --- Thank you for looking over this game, I can answer any questions on private. Regards, Marin Vukusic | |||||
