Feb-28-06		Nobutitis: He draws Ivanov AGAIN?? He may not be that easy for me to whip after all... And note the BOLDNESS of Master Renard's play thru-out here. He's willing to do many things: He's willing to tolerate doubled pawns, because they usually shield the King better (and luckily Black wasn't already prepped on the h-file). He goes for BLOCKADES, for TRANSFORMATIONS that result in the (almost) better minor piece. He focuses on the center as the pivot point of nearly all his operations,then takes the bold step of timing a wing breakthru just when Black is bunched on the other side! He shakes! He bakes! He's a Ginzu knife!

Apr-30-09		Phony Benoni: There's a well-know + drawing mechanism that looks something like this: click for larger view Black draws by checking with his knight on h2 and f3, as White can never escape to h1 because of ...Rh2#. (Assuming it's Black's move, of course!) It takes a bit more imagination to come up with something similar using +: click for larger view 45...Rd2 would be the instinctive reaction, but Black decides to go straight for the safe harbor with <45...Rc2> and <46...c4>, when the White king won't be able to escape the checks.
