 | | ray keene: this is another fine example of nimzowitschian overprotection and demonstration of the energy the overprotecting forces can develop! |

 | | IMlday: 11..Ba6? was really weak, but the improvement 11..a5 didn't score very well either, for example: Fischer vs Myagmarsuren, 1967
Related exploration: Benko vs Bisguier, 1962
Eventually the Blacks avoided ..Nf6 in favour of ..Ne7. That is why Qe2 replaced Nbd2 as a preferred move order. |

| Mar-23-06 | | micartouse: This game is an inspiring KIA. I usually only play KIA when I'm goofing around, but once I get to the position after 10 moves or so with the knights over on the kingside, I think, "Now how do I attack?" Botvinnik's game and the games IM Day links above provide a tactical roadmap for how to fearlessly approach Black's castled position. |

 | | keypusher: <whiteshark> 32. Qg4+ Kh8 (32....Ng6 33. Qxd7) 33. Bf4 threatens Be5. I don't see a defense after that, which doesn't mean there isn't one. |

| | keypusher: <whiteshark> Right you are. I only considered ...Qg6. |

| | keypusher: <Whiteshark> I weakly turned Shredder on the problem. Its favorite line is 31. Rg5+ Ng6 32. Qh5 and the h7 pawn falls, but Black is still very much alive after 32....Re6 33. Qxh7+ Kf8. |

| | keypusher: <ughaibu: Does that mean you put Shredder on the setting "weak"?> Yeah, but then it told me, "I'm still better than you'll ever be, punk." |
