Sep-20-06		Dres1: What is wrong with 29.Nxg5+

Apr-04-07		chessamateur: Duplicate of S Danailov vs Kasparov, 1980

Oct-03-07		notyetagm: <Danilov-Kasparov is a thematic KID exchange variation> Why thematic? Black pieces invade the weak squares on the d-file: d4,d3,d2 And note how often Kasparov uses the tactic of <TIEING DOWN> an opponent's piece by making it -meet- a threat in order to prevent that piece from moving and -executing- a threat. The White f3-knight is continually <TIED DOWN> to the defense of the d2-square to keep the Black d8-rook from gaining the 7th rank ; since this White f3-knight is <TIED DOWN>, it cannot also attack the Black e5-pawn. 22 Nf3xe5?! leaves behind the d2-square for 22 ... Rd8-d2+ (7th rank) and 23 ... Rd2xf2 29 Nf3xe5? leaves behind the d2-square for 29 ... Rd8-d2+ (7th rank)

Oct-03-07		Shams: <29 Nf3xe5? leaves behind the d2-square for 29 ... Rd8-d2+ (7th rank)> both 29.Nxe5 and 29.Nxg5 would be with check.

Oct-04-07		notyetagm: <Shams: <29 Nf3xe5? leaves behind the d2-square for 29 ... Rd8-d2+ (7th rank)> both 29.Nxe5 and 29.Nxg5 would be with check.> Wow, I was wondering if anyone would catch that. :-)

Oct-04-07		Shams: your penance is giving the lines which refute both captures. take your time. :)

Jan-21-08		orio24: If 29.xg5+ (or 29.xe5+) then f6 30. f3 (to cover d2), but then comes 30...b3 with idea 31...a1+ 32. b1 d1+ 33. a2 b3 with threatening checkmate 34...a1#. There doesn't seem to be sufficient defence against that.

Mar-26-08		SPerry65: This isn't a duplicate of the other Danailov-Kasparov game, I believe the other one is a corrected version of the game as in it 23...Ke7 not 23...Kf7 is played. That also rules out 29.Nxe5 or 29.Nxg5 being with check.

Jun-09-09		Jonathan Sarfati: There should still be only one game, not two.
