| Dec-24-04 | | quXa: <InspiredByMorphy> It doesn't win, it's a trade of pawns there. White has an undefended pawn on e3. 37. d5+ Kf8 ( not Kg6, and maybe in the longer run g4 for white, or else the rook doesn't defend c6, and the other ones get killed by dxc6+ )
38. cxb6
(38. dxc6 Rxc6 and the other pawn is lost)
38... Bxb6
39. dxc6 Bxe3+
40. Rxc6 Bb4+
Isn't such a nice position to be in. |

| Apr-30-05 | | Jaymthegenius: I often play this opening, I enjoy 1.a3,e5 2.c4,Nf6 3.e6,d5 4.cxd5,Nxd5 5.Qb6, Anderrsen has a nice continuation as well! |
|
| Apr-30-05 | | Jaymthegenius: Also, I play alot of Rook lifts as Morphy demonstrated. |
|
| Apr-30-05 | | aw1988: <Jaymthegenius> Why Qb3? |
|
| May-02-05 | | Jaymthegenius: Because I have this CD "modern Way's of playing the sicilian"
That give 1.e4,c5 2..Nf3,e6 3.d4,cxd4 4.Nxd4,Qb6?! 5.Nc3,Bc5 and reverse with a pawn at a3 and move in hand would be quite usefull! |
|
| Oct-07-05 | | AlexanderMorphy: Good game, yes Morphy should have resigned earlier! |
|
| Oct-08-05 | | AlexanderMorphy: Anderssen really liked this opening...most of his opponents of that time probably didn't know how to counter it! |
|
| Nov-30-05 | | chessplayerx: Good play by Anderssen. |
|
| Jan-11-06 | | morpstau: Well every dog has his day and why not old anderssen. I like the fact though that it takes Adolf over 70 moves to beat his young rival in the only 2 games he wins of the match. It just proves even if Morphy losses he shines. |
|
| Jul-18-06 | | ChessDude33: <Sneaky: Do you have an opinion how Black should proceed in order to prove 1.a3 a waste of time?> 1...g6 or a reversed Colle system (1.a3 d5 2. d4 Nf6) makes 1. a3 look alittle funny. |

 | | keypusher: <quxa> 37. d5+ Kf8 38. d6 Bd8 39. Rf2! bxc5 40. Rxf5+ Nf6 41. g4! Rg6 42. g5 and White wins. |
|
| Oct-18-06 | | schnarre: <ChessDude33> Hardly, as I've beaten 1...g6 with 1. a3. I stick to 2. c4 instead of other moves like 2. d4 though (even vs. 1...d5). |
|
| Nov-09-06 | | ismet: Anderssen known that Morphy was Genius. and He also had computer program brain . So today modern chess players plays against strong chess programs like this way. Closed game and unusual moves.Anderssen saw him. |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | Rubenus: <ismet> You are right! Anderssen was almost as brilliant as Morphy and probably knew what Morphy weaknesses were. If you have to play against the world champion, play 1. a3!! or 1...a6!! (Karpov vs. Miles). What would Morphy do against a Hippo or King's Indian do you think? |
|
| Feb-24-07 | | nimzo knight: Looks more like a Karpov Vs Kramnik. Very positional .... |
|

 | | Richard Taylor: Good game by Anderssen - quite deep for those days... |
|
| Sep-29-07 | | Floyd5642: I don't think I could be brave enough to play 1 a3. I also don't think of myself as strong enough to follow through with it. |

|
| Mar-19-08 | | addiction to chess: The Anderssen Opening characterized by 1. a3 is an overlooked opening since it is like you just switched the your colors and it becomes useful when playing a reversed Sicilian Defence since that move is part of the procedure already. |
|
| Dec-21-08 | | WhiteRook48: Anderssen- making trash openings like 1. a3 go successful |
|
| Jan-01-09 | | WhiteRook48: well, he did beat Morphy with 1. a3. So the opening can't be that bad. (He also lost to Morphy with 1. a3 and drew against Morphy with 1. a3.) It's a weird Anderssen Opening. |
|
| Jan-10-09 | | WhiteRook48: 1. a3 is an interesting way to open. |
|
| Jan-18-09 | | WhiteRook48: One can only imagine what Morphy's face looked like after this game... |
|
| Jan-31-09 | | WhiteRook48: what's Rybka's positional analysis after 1. a3? |
|
| Feb-01-09 | | WhiteRook48: Morphy's longest game in the database |
