They played the QGD Slav and all was equal up to TheKing’s move 28…Ra8:
A better move as suggested by HIARCS would have been 28…Nd6 attacking White’s Rook and making it difficult for White to protect the pawn on a6. However, Maia is unable to find the best reply of 29.a7 that keeps Black’s Rook on a8, instead moved 29.Rb7? Black responded with 29…Nec5 attacking both the Rook and Pawns a4 and a6. White is a pawn up but the doubled a pawns balance the position. Here Maia played 29…a7? A curious move indeed. Better would have been 29…Rc7 but the played move loses the Rook to a Knight.
A poor move by TheKing and a blunder by Maia followed and the TheKing announced Mate in 7 at move 65.
The statistics show that Maia made 1 blunder, 4 mistakes and 8 inaccuracies whilst TheKing made 2 mistakes and 6 inaccuracies. Well, we did expect TheKing to do well against Maia.
Current score 3 ½ - ½ to TheKing.
