If I am not careful and focused on my play, I tend to play "zombie chess", choosing moves with little thought or analysis, because they "look right" for the position. The result is often a shallow game that misses tactical shots, as if I were just mindlessly shuffling along.perrypawnpusher - alekbb
blitz, FICS, 20101.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6
The Semi-Italian Opening.
4.0-0 Bc5 5.Bxf7+
The Semi-Italian Jerome Gambit.
5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.Qh5+ g6
8.Qxe5 Qf6
As I've mentioned, Black's best is 8...Bf8 when after 9.Qg3 (the Rook is poisoned) Ne7 10.d4 Bg7 11.d5 d6 12.Nc3 Rf8 13.Be3 Black has an edge.
Previously seen: 8...Nf6 9.Qxc5 d6 10.Qe3 as in perrypawnpusher - wadada, blitz, FICS, 2009 (1-0,19) and perrypawnpusher - islanderchess, blitz, FICS, 2008 (1-0,46); or.8...Be7 9.Qxh8 Nf6 10.Qxd8 Bxd8 as in perrypawnpusher - PravinMamania, blitz, FICS, 2010 (1-0,50)
9.Qxc5 d6 10.Qd5+
I could have grabbed a pawn with 10.Qxc7+ instead.
10...Kg7 11.Nc3 Ne7 12.Qc4 c5 13.f4 Be6 14.Qe2 Rhf8
15.d3 Qd4+ 16.Qe3
Better was 16.Be3, but, typically, I was looking toward a better endgame.
16...Qxe3+ 17.Bxe3 a6 18.Rae1 b5
Just shuffling along... After all, I have two extra pawns. A simple position means that I will win, in time. Yawn.
25.Ng1 d5 26.e5
Running the risk of a completely blockaded position.
26...Bf5 27.Nf3 Bd3 28.Rf2 Nf5 29.g4
33.Ng5 Rh1 34.Nxe4 dxe4 35.Rxe4 Rah8
36.Rg2
I was feeling a bit nervous about the Rooks, which I am sure was Black's idea. After the game, Rybka suggested the straight forward 36.f5 gxf5 37.Rxf5 R1h3+ 38.Kf4 Rh2 39.e6.
36...R8h3+ 37.Kf2 Rd3
He had much better with 37...Rxc3, although when the smoke clears, White will still be on top, e.g. 38.e6 Kf8 39.Re2 Rd3 40.f5 g5 41.f6 Ke8 42.d5 Rhh3 43.Re4 c3 44.bxc3 Rdf3+ 45.Kg1 Rxf6 46.Rxa4 Rfh6 47.Rb4 Rh1+ 48.Kf2 Rd1 49.Rxb3 Rxd5 50.Rg3 Rxe6 51.Re3 Rd2+ 52.Kf3 Rxe3 53.Kxe3 Rg2 54.Kf3 Rc2
