| BrownRecluse: Alekhine to Vasic, "You certainly are in a pickle!"

| lopium: <notyetagm> Fritz 8 doesn't has a brain. |
|
| Nov-15-05 |
| TTLump: Another fine example of the awesome power of the "two bishops". |
|
| Nov-15-05 |
| TTLump: <notyetagm> 9 ... c5 looks good to me.
then...
10 d4xc5 Nxc5
11 Bxc5 Qd5!
and Black neutralizes the threat with good position.
|
|
| Nov-15-05 |
| TTLump: why not ... 8 Qxe4 ?
seems to me this accomplishes the same thing but quicker. |
|

 |
| tpstar: <TTLump> 8. Qxe4 Ndf6! holds. See my post from 6/4/04. =) |

| MaxxLange: <TTLump> Black stsys down a piece in your line after 12. Ba3 Qxg2 13.Qf3 |

| kevin86: A really neat crossfire mate by the two bishops! Makes me wonder:was Alekhine or his opponent more "pickled" on this day? |
|
| Nov-15-05 |
| TTLump: <tpstar> 1. Black could also have played 8 ... Ndf6 in response to the actual move (8. Bxe4 ). The brilliance of this combination is marred by the mediocrity of the opponent as demonstrated in several successive moves. |
|
| Nov-15-05 |
| TTLump: <MaxxLange> - of course you're right, but in spite of my flawed line, I still think 9 ... c5 has survival chances, how about 10 dxc5 O-O and white is up a pawn but with a stuctural weakness (tripled pawns and no central pawn)? |
|
| Nov-15-05 |
| MaxxLange: Junior likes 10...Qa5 after 9...c5 10 dxc5.
...c5 is certainly better than the game text! |
|
| Nov-15-05 |
| TTLump: <MaxxLange> I don't think 10 ... Qa5 works, because of 11 Bb4., however 10 ... Qc7 looks fairly strong, winning the pawn back with a good position. |
|

 |
| Calli: <TTLump> I agree 9...c5 10.dxc5 Qc7 11.Nf3 0-0 12.0-0 is fine for Black. |
|
| Nov-16-05 |
| MaxxLange: Looks like Junior, for whatever reason, didn't mind the insertion of 11. Bb4 Qc7 into the line Calli gives. I didn't run it for long, really I just decided to check the line I had already posted after the fact :) |
|
| Nov-16-05 |
| TTLump: <MaxxLange> looks like Junior for whatever reason doesn't seem to mind giving his opponent a tempo with which to find a slightly better square for his dark bishop (at least it looks better at first glance). I ran it through Chessmaster and got: 9 ... c5
10 dxc5 Qc7
11 Nf3 Nxc5
12 O-O Bd7
13 Rab1 b6
14 Ne5 O-O
etc. leading to a draw

| Richard Taylor: < AngleGrynda: Right ho Richard! I'll consider myself well and truly told! I apologise for bothering the board with my idiotic musings, and will never spout such objectionable tripe ag> Sorry I wasnt saying you were stupid or anything- look I have made far worse blunders in fact I was replaying a game (it was on here as problem or the game of the day once) in which Tal (as Black and Fischer White) made a blunder - 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cd 4 Nxd4 e6 5.Be3 Qc7 6. Nc3 Nf6? and Tal annotates - "I made my move (normally 6. ... a6 is played bfore Nf6) then went for a strole around the podiium when I glanced at the demonstration board and saw a knight on b5 and thought ah, a piece sacrifice! - when I got to the board I realised I had simply forgotten to play a6") Fischer played Nb5 and was winning...and Tal shows how he too could completely overlook something. |

| Richard Taylor: I got the move order wrong - Fischer played an early g3 -here is the game Fischer vs Tal, 1961

| McCool: Beautiful sacrafice. Who's this Vasic player? or should I say Basic player. |
|

| LluviaSean: Wowsers!! I bet you i could have had many many of these checkmates in some of my games. |

| blingice: You are likely in trouble if Alekhine rams his queen into the pawn wall in front of your king. |

| lost in space: In my younger years I was often dreaming about such wins. Unfortunately I was mostly sitting on the wrong side of the board, when something like this happened. |
