| drukenknight: Famous game featuring the Falkbeer. After move 9, Keres says "the books do not approve and since Tal as we see, has no improvement in mind we may repeat the question mark which theory gives this move." Evans says best for black is now: " 9...BxB 10 QxB NxN 11 QxQ+ KxQ 12 PxN BxP"
[sorry for English notation]
Why not 9....Bb4 |

| Honza Cervenka: 9...Bb4 is used quite often. See Opening Explorer But it seems to be that results for black playing 9...Bb4 are not very impressive. |

| Open Defence: Keres asked Bronstein why did you play 15g3?! Keres - "Bronstein stared at me as if I understood nothing about the position and said 'I just had to play a move like 15g3 against Tal I might not have had the chance to play such a move against him ever!' I am glad that Bronstein played 15g3 it made for a very interesting game" hehehehehehe (forgive any paraphrasing of the quoted text .... |

| sipahi: Can somebody explain what was wrong with 33 Bxf6 with threat of Rxh7 mate on next move |
|

| OJC: < sipahi > 33 ... cxd3 and the mate threat is gone with a dangerous pin on the c2 pawn |

| Averageguy: Despite the early queen trade, this game is very exciting. |

| Whitehat1963: What a WILD, 18th century-style game. The best defense seems to be a good counter attack in this one. Great fun. |

| think: Am I correct in saying that the end would go:
44: .... Rxf4
45: Bxg2 Kxg5
46: a7
White has to sac the rook for the pawn, and with the bishop guarding h1 queening square, this is a won ending for white. |

| refutor: who killed off the king's gambit at the top level? by the looks of it, it just died off with spassky and bronstein...if fedorov was able to draw guys like anand (who by rating he should have been very happy with that result), i think it's time for a revival |

| labralege: fischer had the defense 3...d6 and after that it was sen less in master tournements according to wikipedia |

| Tomlinsky: <fischer had the defense 3...d6 and after that it was sen less in master tournements according to wikipedia> He would have had a problem playing 3...d6 here as the pawn went to d5 last move. |

| KingG: <refutor> I'm not sure about the Bishop's Gambit, but amongst other lines, the Knight's Gambit is set some pretty serious problems by Fedorov vs Ivanchuk, 2001. I analysed this game for a while, but couldn't really come up with anything promising for White. |

| alanelbaum: Does anyone know why Bronstein gives 12.Ba3 two exclamation marks? Is it something to do with 12...Bxc2 not working? For that matter, why doesn't 12...Bxc2 work? |
|

 |
| Gypsy: <alanelbaum: ... For that matter, why doesn't 12...Bxc2 work?> I venture a guess that because of <13.Rc1 Bf5 14.Rxc7...>. Black position looks ruined. |

sac: 15.g3
