 | | kevin86: Two more unusual players ever play than these two! Unlikely! It would be like Schickel (PDQ Bach) vs Victor Borge |

 | | aw1988: ray keene, I have not gone over all the annotations to this game, but one small comment: no comment on 6. Bd3?! (yes, '?!') this will cost white a tempo as he eventually has to move back. |
|
| Jan-28-05 | | akashic: aw1988 this is a gambit. White gets a lot of counterplay by letting black have the d4 pawn. This game is not a true Milner-Barry as the pawn was not gambitted. |

| | dac1990: Great, another Keene pun. Real keene, CG, real keene. |

| | aw1988: I hope most of you get the real point of this pun. |
|
| Jan-29-05 | | MindlessOne: what about 12...a6 instead of a5? |
|
Jan-29-05
| | kevin86: White's pawn marches on and on...The rook cuts off the black king and the minor pieces are out of position. |
|
| Jan-29-05 | | GreenDayGuy: <MindlessOne> 12... a6 has to be better. It stops the bishop from entering at b5 and doesn't break up the queenside pawn structure as much as 12... a5? |

 | | patzer2: I enjoyed the subtle passed pawn combination starting with 30. g5!
Black thrashes about like a big fish on a hook for a few moves, but White's plan of protecting his h-pawn and bringing the major artillery to bear on the g-file proves decisive. After a few forced excahanges, Black's g-pawn falls and White's passed h-pawn proves decisive. |

| | SneechLatke: <aw> The pun is so funny, so subtle, I'm still laughing 8 months later. :) |

 | | CapablancaFan: <ArturoRivera> Raymond Keene annotates this game himself. Look at the commentary box after the first move 1.e4. |

| | JG27Pyth: I feel compelled to mention that Nimzowitsch loathed Tarrasch and considered him a "total mediocrity" |
|
| Sep-10-09 | | WhiteRook48: I like to play 3. e5 as white |

| | whiteshark: <bishop55>
Your suggestion <29...e5> is indeed a great improvement of Black's position. 
click for larger view one possible continuation is <30.g5 Rf7 31.gxh6 gxh6 32.Rg1 e4 33.Bxh6 Rf3> where I'd prefer the black side.

 | | bystander: In the annotation, 12)...a5 gets a question mark, without any further explanation. What about 12)...f6, 13)Nc3, 0-0? <mindlessone, GreenDayGuy, 12...a6> 12...a6, 13) Nc3 0-0, 14) Kg2. I prefer 12)...f6, because after 12..a6, Nc3/a4/c5 is possible and a black advance like a6/b5 does not look very harmfull to white. |
|
Apr-03-12
| | bystander: 13 a4? Should the pawn on a5 really be stopped? I think white can develop it's kingside instead. So 13)  g2 a4 14) g4  h4+ 15) h4x  h4x 16) f4 0-0. |
|
Apr-03-12
| | bystander: Why does white play 17 e2? It is possible for black to castle now, for example 17) 0-0 a6 18) b5 b4 19)  d2  c6 and I think black has better play. Maybe 17) d7x d7x 18) Tc1. |
|
Apr-03-12
| | bystander: 25)...f8 with the intention 26...f6 is a very agressive move but the black king is stuck in the middle. After this move, I tink that white has an advantage. Why not a more defensive approach like 25)...bc6 and 26)...d7? |
|
Apr-03-12
| | bystander: I do not like to move 35)..h4 so much, because the rook gets nowhere. But I do not see a good alternative for black either. Any thoughts? |
|
Apr-03-12
| | bystander: <whiteshark, bisshop 55; 29)..e5 is an improvement of blacks position> Agreed. And even on move 32, 32..e5 seems to be better than 32)..e7. But the defence looks very complicated and in many variantions black has to sacrifice a pawn. It looks more or less even to me after 32) ..e5 33)h5+ d7 34)g4 + c7 but a little more complicated after 32)...e5, 33)de5x e6 34) f4 g5. My sillicon monster prefers black, but I do not really see a good continuation for black after this line. |
