 | | Whitehat1963: Kaspy gets a serious a** whipping from a much lower-rated player in the opening of the day. Might this have been a simul? |

| Dec-29-06 | | Kruglov: Why not win the Exchange with 12...Nf2+ ? |
|
| Dec-29-06 | | Black Vampire: Kruglov, Holzke must have feared 13.Nh5, (thatīs why he played 12...h5?)though Black can defend it without problems. The computer gives a clear advantage to Black after the only correct 12...Nf2+!. After 13.Ng5! Black cannot play 13...Nf2+? because of the threats 15.Bc4 and 16.Nxh5. |

| Dec-30-06 | | sucaba: After 12. _  f2+ 13.  xf2  xf2 14. h5, White has a dangerous attack, for example 14. _ g6 15. g7+  e7
16.  d2, winning a tempo by attacking the f2 and preparing 17. d2-g5+, and if Black answers 17. _ f7-f6 then 18. g5-h6.
Or 14. _ 0-0 15. d2 and d2-g5 next.
It seems that playing 12. _ h5 was a good decision. Perhaps Holzke was inspired by the move 13. _ h5 in Anderssen vs Max Lange, 1859, where Black was able to use the uncastled on the h-file, too. |

| Jan-01-07 | | Black Vampire: Sucaba, after 12...Nf2+ 13.Rxf2, Bxf2 14.Nh5, why not 14...0-0? |
|
| Jan-01-07 | | sucaba: With 12. _ f2+ 13. xf2 xf2 14. h5 0-0 15. d2, White puts up the mean threat 16. g5 g6 17. h6 gxh5 18. f6 xf6 19. g5+ h8 20. xf6+ g8 21. h6 and 22. g7# |

| | farkaskutya: I'm puzzled why this is classified as a Modern/Robatsch (B06) opening. |

| Mar-13-12 | | Everett: 29..h3! Ice water in the veins... |
|
| Mar-13-12 | | efvaatn: yeah, ice water it is |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | sukatma: why Kasparov don't 22.Nxb5 |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: <sukatma>: After <22.Nxb5>:
click for larger viewBlack plays 22...Rxf1+ 23.Rxf1 axb5, and is a piece ahead. Kasparov's line gave him a rook and knight for the queen. That is not full compensation, but it is better than being a piece down. |
