Surely Mabbsy doesn't play chess?!

Has sprocket overslept!

4 moves, not lost yet.

Chase the night from f6 with the pawn, trade bishops so black has weakness on dark squares round the king, knight and queen check mate, simples.

E4, lovely.

Bishop trade never happened then.

Controlling the d file though.

Post by **Randall** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 11:20 am

Takes with the pawn damages the pawn structure but keeps control of the open file. Black bishop blocked by his own pawn, sprocket looks ok here to me.

Bishop f6 stops rook d7 temporarily.

Didnt like exf5 brings the rook in the game

Post by **Randall** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 11:54 am

Dont like sprockets position now. King has nowhere to go, rook tied to the defence of an isolated pawn.
I was expecting gxf5 not rook, thats fucked it from my limited understanding.

Post by **Randall** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 11:57 am

Knight tied to the defence of e4.
Oh dear.

Played at school, back in the late 1970's !!!!

Cue the 'age related abuse'

Post by **Randall** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:06 pm

Rook d8 supported by knight d5 doesnt work either, even with kings pawns pushed. Not even perpetual there.

Post by **Randall** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:13 pm

As stifled as sprocket is I dont see a win for black either, other tban on time at this rate.

Post by **Randall** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:16 pm

Seems there was quite a delay on the game feed, suddenly jumped.

Post by **Randall** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:32 pm

A piece down, pawn up, centralised king that can only go backward but sprocket battles on.

Post by **Randall** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:39 pm

Dark square bishop not much use when all the pawns are on light squares.

Probably something else he "forgot" to post about until someone he supported got more successful.

Cant see a move now.
