Hello, Shos.
I seem to be available for another game in addition to my one on this subforum that still hasn't finished.
Do you want B or W?

And, yes, I know this move^ of mine might give the appearance of imaginably becoming a tiny tempo issue.
I have ideas.

There is a video on YouTube where a great Russian (or something) accented GM says "develop in center in one tempo your minor pieces from side which you want castle" (sic). So, I remembered that almost to a tee :) . And you have to remember something for your reserved comment; though I know not what.

[Yes that is Nh3, not Nf3]
That position you gave is something that you might be well able to play, but it seems to lead to a pawn structure for White on the queen-side that I am not comfortable with; after Qe5 where you left off I should choose Qe5 Be5 exchanging the queens [because your queen and bishop have a dangerous attack on c3] and then you might envision something like 0-0-0 or e3 as two of my best moves, but with say 0-0-0 just to pick one, there is Bxc3 bxc3 and even though my king is there to help the pawns' protection, those pawns are inferior to your pawn structure.

I actually thought about this game in bed last night until after 4 in the morning and decided a good rule in this case is pieces should unrestrict each other and this decision is just a part of a more detailed setup I have mentally envisioned.

My possibly useful or not very useful doubled pawns on the side of the board and strong rooks compared to your soon-to-be crumbling queenside apparatus are imbalances, not "eveness-es" if I can use that made up word. And your ambushed knight that took my poisoned b2 pawn is almost completely pressured by my ambushing. But your knight is not ALL the way pressured and surrounded: I want to see where the black flower of suffering blossoms in this imbalanced situation ...
so I will continue with Ra2 to maximize the pressure on the knight

Ra2! because my trusty rook also believes in offense!; I have made a move despite your claim because I think it is not clear whose dynamic imbalances on the board will be better.

Knight's more technical, but 'horse' makes the following pun work: I sure do endeavor for my knight to stay as the c4 pawn's annoying NEIGHbor for a while ...

Not counting the trade of the rooks and taking back the pawn with my king, it's the (other) first check in the game! I suppose the real difference between the two cases is that one case was about moving forward; the other is forcing a move backward while getting a pawn of mine forward! Best pawn move is a repelling move ;)

I basically have a four pawns : two pawns majority position in my favor on the relevant area of the board.

You now have to move your knight out of the central files if you decide to move it. The center is mine :D

Hmm ... if I move to c2 again, you can move to e6 again, and my knight is passive: e6 and f4 are problems ... unless ....

I seemed to have solved the stalling teeter-totter antics of your king from d7 to e6 and back.

I think I hate your knight more than your king. You probably hate mine and want to make steak out of it, too, but I'll fight hate and violent force with hate and violent force :D

Luckily, the only move (Nf6) to buy my pawn time on the previous move leads to a safe square to actually secure it this move.

It's interesting that it's ideal that my knight attack your king and my king attack your knight, because of course the alternative of king attack king and whatnot would not make sense :mrgreen:

The idea of going "forward" helps me; it helps me not be distracted by the option 61. Ne4 because it reminds me that 61. Ne4 is proven wrong by Kd7, entering into a same state. If I didn't remember that I had already been there forgetfully because of the days that passed, I might have wanted to move there!!

I'd rather advance somewhat air-tightly from here than calculate a continuation to the merely quick, rushing gut feeling of 62. e6 Nd6.

Oh, just one more thing; you mentioned being a competitive player, which I said I have not been (no rating), and so what is your rating Elo? I wonder if you could say that rating, which I assume is international, and I mean the rating that you would say you have at the current time when I started playing you.

I have a rook on a7 that is sickly and is a problem I did not foresee. I also have not played the Stonewall with d5 earlier, but now I see that the Dutch theme of controlling e4 makes a pawn on d5 attractive.

So many pawns dominating the board situation; the benefit of using a5 to allow my Bc2 bishop on a4 behind the b5 pawn is illusory because my victimized bishop is then even more like a hostage, but the bleak result of attacking your queen again is 21... a5 22. Qb2! (controlling b5 square still AND IMPORTANTLY d4 square) Be4 (instead of Ba4) 23. Nxe4 fxe4 24. Bxe4 and then no Bxd4 in response to that pawn capture.
So unfortunately Be4 bishop for a knight Nxe4 seems the most healthful and gives at least hope that I might be lucky enough to avoid losses.

I have read that it actually is not in the spirit of the queen to be a defensive piece, but this is more of an active defense than the alternative of moving d6-d5, "attacking" a pawn that's protected twice. With my extra pawn I love the idea of trying to consolidate my structure and push you like a sumo wrestler. :)

I thought of Qe5 to prevent Qxe6 but saw the danger of an eventual subsequent Bh6, and there's something that a certain continuation after my g5 allows that makes the obvious menace of Bh6 seem to have less of a sting as far as I can see.

The move I am anticipating right this moment is Qf7+. It's funny: the e pawn was on e6 and not e7 and so did not protect against Qf6; I'm not sure how much credit I can give my 9. e6 move for helping me at all.

After Qf7+, I make the move 34... Kh8, and I look at the result on the board. And consequently, I resign.
The move after Kh8 is what makes me ending up with no more will. I was given hope to at least defend with more dignity (but my position was lost nonetheless) after 35. Bh6 by moving 35... Rg4 (assistance given along my g-file that g5 followed by Bxg5 made possible), but I realized that after Qe5 and Kh8 aligned the queen and king, there was 35. Bf6 instead of Bh6 and AGAIN the ending of the game by the power of a fork!
