Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too

I played my second game against Gothic Vortex 1.0.3, this time with black, and had an unexpected win. And yet not only this, but for the first time i totally outplayed Vortex with black pieces. The final blow is nice again.
The game was at 1 minute per move for G.V 1.0.3 and 40 minutes for 40 moves repeating, for me.
14. Ra1d1 i7i5! (I forget the castle and instead start an attack)
15. Qd3d2 g6g5
16. Nc3a4? (What a total waste of time.......)
16...b7b6!?
17. Na4c3 (What did this Knight achieved?)
17...Ce8g7
18. Rh1g1 Cg7i6
19. Af2h1 j6j5
20. a3a4? (What G.V wanted to do with this? A counterattack while my attack is miles ahead? Very bad move!)
20...j5j4
21. b2b4 i5i4
22. Nh3f2 Nh6j5
23. f3f4?? (G.V gives me the diagonal i like and at the same time paralyses the battery Q+B at c1-j8, removes it's Queen of the game and makes a competely crambed position for white so white has to sacrifice a Knight in order to have some play at the queenside but it's pointless as the game is in white's kingside.)
23...g5g4
24. Nc3xd5 c6xd5
25. Bg2xd5 Bf6xj2+! (Now the problems begin for G.V. I was not sure if it was a good move, it was just a speculative move from my side, since i saw that after ...i3 white would be in troubles anyway.)
26. Ki1j1 Nj5i3+!
27. h2xi3 j4xi3
28. Nf2xg4 (Desperation, but i don't see anything else as Cj4 is crushing.)
(verstecken) Wenn du Spiele mit ähnlich starken Gegnern spielen willst, kannst du beim Erstellen eines neuen Spiels die BKR eingrenzen. So kann niemand ausserhalb des gewählten Ratings das Spiel annehmen und sehen. (Katechka) (zeige alle Tips)
