Mar-25-11 | | KingV93: Lots of positional manouvering in this one. |
|
Mar-25-11 | | mertangili: <joupajou> I would not call 44...Nf3+ a blunder as in case of 44...Qh5 white has 45.Ne7+ which seems very disturbing as it is hard for black king to get out of checks. |
|
Mar-25-11 | | joupajou: Thanks <mertangili> for your comment. Please let me explain why I still consider 44. ..Qh5 a very strong move despite of 45.Ne7+ 44. ..Qh5 45.Ne7+ Kf8
 click for larger viewNow white only has a few moves. We have to bear in mind that WR in d1 is not protected. 46.Qa8+ Kxe7 47.Qb7+ (47.Qd8+? Kf7) Ke6 and black king escapes. 46.Ng6+ Rxg6 (because BN in e5 is in too good of a position to lose). 47.Qa8+ Kf7 48.Qb7+ (better to stay on the diagonal) Kg8 and black king escapes. |

Mar-25-11 | | tatarch: <Phony Benoni: ...So that leaves 48.Rxf3, and something like this happens: 48...Qb1+ 49.Ke2 Qc2+ 50.Ke1 (50.Ke3 Bd4#) gxf3 51.Qxf3 Rh1+ 52.Qxh1 Qc1+, winning the queen.> This is the line I saw at first also, but I also missed the fact that 52.Qxh1 is check... So not sure what the best line for black is here. |

Mar-25-11 | | takchess: Hopefully we can find a good Law win and use " He fought the Law and the Law Won" |

 | | Phony Benoni: <tatarch> <51.Qxf3  click for larger view51...Rh1+ 52.Qxh1 Qc1+, winning the queen. This is the line I saw at first also, but I also missed the fact that 52.Qxh1 is check...> Ouch, good catch! It looks like Black would have to grind it out; I don't see a quick kill. He can probably play 51...Qb1+ and 52...Qxa2+, if that helps. |

Mar-25-11 | | joupajou: <Bennie: Why not 41. f3 ?> 41.f3? Rh6!
Would this be the answer to your question? |

 | | scormus: <Phony Benoni: ... suddenly finds out that Black's pieces are actually better placed> Yes, like one of those noir films "you think you know what's going on, but you dont" |

 | | Domdaniel: <Phony> I agree: the Hedgehog can be irritatingly hard to deal with. But is there any way to avoid it if Black is determined enough? |
|
Mar-25-11 | | jethrotool: Which is the score of the superGMs (Anand, Kramnik, Kaspa et al) against the Hedgehog? Is there an antiHegdehog among them, like Kramnik is anti-Gruenfeld and Ivanchuk anti KID? |
|
Mar-25-11 | | minasina: You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue.
If you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too.

 | | Phony Benoni: <Domdaniel> This may be too limited of an idea, but I think of the Hedgehog as characterized by: (1) White pawns on c4/e4 against Black pawns on d6/e6; (2) the pawn trade ...c5xd4. White applies pressure on the d-file, particularly d5; Black's play revolves around the dark-square triangle c5/d4/e5 and a well-timed ...d6-d5 push. Openings in which White plays an early Nc3 and blocks the c-pawn, such as the Closed Sicilian, would avoid this pure form. Black can still set up a Hedgehog type formation, but the effect will probably not be the same. <jethrotool> It's kind of hard to answer that question, since the Hedgehog is not a variation in a specific opening line but a formation which can pop up in many different guises. |
