Hi, my thoughts:

Opening play was good.
Personally I wouldn't have exchange on e3 I think. I feel like the bishop doesn't have much scope cause most of the white pawns are on black squares. I would maybe seek to exchange my black squared bishop for a knight and try to make plays on the white squares. That's my oppinion but don't really know if this exchange is good or bad to be honest.

...Qd7 wasn't as bad as you thought. You actually had a cheeky threat of Nxe5 which wins a pawn. He avoided it by a4 but I am not sure if that was by accident or not. Plus after a4 you went Qb7, a4 isn't much of a move to have gained there.

After 22...bxa4 23.Qb1, I'd probably play 23...h6 to stop Ng5.

After 30.Qe2 then 30...Qb1! and he is toast. He is forced to exchange.

Wow then I was really impressed. You saw ...Nxe5 before I did, I started looking at ...Kg8 to avoid the checks. But very nice to notice the pawn endgame distant passer theme and I really like the ...Nxe5 move!

Nice victory!

It's moves like Nxe5 that makes me very very afraid to play Kingsblade. I've notice that when most of the pieces are off the board, then he can play like a grandmaster at times! Ask me how I know this...

Very nice win and video, Kingsblade!

31. ... Nxe5 !!

Great move.

Hey Kingsblade, nice game.
I didnt read the comments before watching so Nxe5 also struck me with full force ^^ I didnt see that. Nice one *thumbs up* !
Regarding the bishop on e3: I dont take it anymore if I am offered to do so in that line (I play CK too) because I dont think it is a really good bishop and fxe3 opens him lines and gives him a pawnbreak via e3->e4 later on if he wants to. Only defect for white imho is that a heavy piece infiltration to his 2nd rank would be more dangerous but it's hard to achieve anyway. Mainly such open-line-plans lead to exchange madness and in a pawn endgame the mentioned e4-break can be quite helpful for white imho.
I really really liked Nxe5 especially because you calculated it through until the queening of it. So it was a calculated(!) forced winning line (at least if he accepts the piece, which he did). Thats how to play chess !

Did you check out the Kingsblade channel thread (Other topics)? I wondered because of that "Back in Black" video tag

Killer move KB, nice win.

Well, I've been on the receiving end of a couple of your brilliant endgame moves and I don't think I overstated it all. At times, you make insanely good moves and Nxe5 was no exception.

Hmmm, man ACDC has so many cool songs...erm..ok, let it be either TNT or Back in Black.
TNT would obviously fit your current performance

Hero of the Day !

i think white played too passive, once black's a pawn moved to a6 an exchange of queens was necessary, white had to take on b6, and black had to respond with QXQ followed by axQ, retreating the Q was an error as it allowed black the ktxp move that also comes with a tempo as it threatens the queen...so white made serious errors there

i saw immediately the ktxe5 move, however white could have prolonged defeat by moving the queen away rather than exchanging which brings an automatic win for black

this was one of the funniest games i've ever seen, i was laughing so much when black starts moving the pawn back and forth and then sees the kt move and starts counting! hahahah so funny that he immediately catches this line that leads to a win and he counts all the way through to the last square hahahah

very nice game


oh i forgot, yes i read black's comment, he says that he is no longer taking the e3 bishop, that is a good idea as in that line black only helps white because it opens up a file for white that leads directly to black's kingside castle, the e3 pawn supports the pawn chain that one usually sees formed in karo cann and french defense openings, which in the endgame then means that white can push the e3 pawn to e4 and try to break black's pawn formation or seek a passed pawn thereby.

Hey zaplix,

Thanks for watching and commenting. I rewatched this video and it was a fun game!

Thanks for the feedback!
