Alzbeltz, sounds German.
No, ah it’s bask name.
Okay, let me try e4.
c5.
Okay b4, the accelerated wing gambit.
He's playing quickly
which suggests to me
he knows something about the line which
I don't to any particular degree.
But I don't know, doesn't
look too bad for me.
If he's forced to go knight b8 then
I have a nice lead in development.
I should only make sure that I don't
reply to b3 check with bishop d2
because then he would have b2.
But now it feels like I'm
in business sort of.
a3, I have ideas of... knight b3.
So knight c5 that tickles
my spidey sense.
Is that what they say? I
think that's what they say.
This I feel should not be bad.
He's just too much time...
development wise to be moving
his pieces more than once
so I feel like now I should
have a huge initiative.
I've given up a clear exchange
but it's not so obvious
how he's going to develop his pieces.
Seeing as e6 can be
matched in several ways.
I have d6 but it's also very
tempting just to go queen to b3.
The point now is that...
the point is now is that I'm
a complete and utter idiot.
I thought bishop c5 would be met by
queen b5, knight d7 and then knight e5
but his queen protects
that square from…
from a1 so that would
have been embarrassing.
And also this is not so clear.
Okay, I may have a tactical
possibility here though.
My idea now is that he doesn't really
have time for bishop f3 since...
Yeah this is what I was
hoping was going to work.
So what I was going to say
was that after bishop b2,
it just doesn't have time for bishop
f3 since rook a1 catches the queen.
And in case of bishop
c5, bishop f6, gf.
Knight e4 would be kind of nasty.
Although, again I'm
blundering rook g8 here...
so who knows what's going to happen
but I feel like I still have some…
some kind of initiative.
And now the only question is
whether queen d7 followed by...
followed by either de6
or knight d6 works.
My intuition tells me
that should be winning.
I don't have a choice, I have to
play queen d7 and queen d7 at least
but I don't know.
It's hard to calculate,
at the very least
I have queen d5 just come to that.
The double threat is knight d7
which queen takes h5 so this
ensures that I'm winning
but there may have
been something better.
Anyway, in order to win the game I
have to speed up at some point so.
Just decided that I didn't have time
to yap and to try and find first win.
It felt like I should probably have
been winning on the previous move
by playing queen d7 followed by
knight d6 but I couldn't find it
after bishop h5 so... that's
why I didn't go for that.
Should just take on b7, c5, knight d6.
Once again, I have to speed up.
Rook c8, now I win by
force or queen exchange.
Now it should be quite easy.
I have lots of these moves.
f5 hangs now.
And he might as well
resign at this point.
I have way too much time and
there goes his rook as well.
Okay, good game.
