Mar-30-06		Timothy Glenn Forney: Wow what a gem,a young Kasparov playing the Giuoco Piano,Max Lange Attack.This is a classic.

Mar-30-06		alicefujimori: <Timothy Glenn Forney>It's not a Max Lange Attack. The Max Lange is against the Two Knight's Defence. It could be reached via the move order 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 etc...

Mar-30-06		Timothy Glenn Forney: I meant Moeller Attack, but its not that either because of 7.Nc3,so I don't think it has a name other than Giuoco Piano.

Mar-30-06		Timothy Glenn Forney: Here's a good example of The Moeller Attack: R Hardarson vs G Livshits, 2001

Mar-30-06		Timothy Glenn Forney: Here's the Max Lange Attack, sorry for the confusion: Martinek vs Vajs, 1985

Mar-31-06		alicefujimori: The Moeller Attack has a reputation to be slightly advantageous to Black.

Mar-31-06		Timothy Glenn Forney: Yes,I started out playing the Italian Game,but changed to the Ruy Lopez,I recommend the Italian to beginners,and I'm making a collection for beginners.

Apr-30-06		GarryBonaparte: Just bangin' on my old Piano... Gettin' in tune to the straight and narrow!

Nov-19-07		patzer2: Wow! Kasparov has two pieces enprise. So instead of trying to protect one of them, he plays 32. Qe4!! for a surprise mating attack against the helpless King. Note that 32...fxe6 is met with the unpleasant possibility 33. Nxe6 Qd6 34. Ng5+ Kf8 36. Nh7#. P.S. <ChessGames.com> (32?) here would make for a very good daily puzzle.
