 | | Marmot PFL: <madlydeeply> That wasn't my claim, it was two guys currently rated over 300 points above me, one of whom is an IM. They made the statement about 10 years ago, when the three of us played Ben in a six player clock simul. (All six of us lost, though I lasted the longest.) |

| Jun-30-07 | | Poisonpawns: Here is game from chesslife june 2005.It is an correspondance game that deals with the move 12.Qe2 in the Berliner line of the two knights defense.It is truly a brilliant game and i wish there was some published Gm analysis somewhere on it.

| Jul-09-07 | | Poisonpawns: <Randomvisitor> Great post! I will look further into it but right away i see that after 13.Qf2 Be6! 14.Bxb5+ c6? doesnt capture the spirit of the position, c6 attacks Bb5 yes,but allows an easy liquidation for white after 15.Nxe4!.The natural move 14.Kd8! must be examined,i will be working on this tonite and will put some up tommorow.The idea of 12.Qe2 and 13.Qf2 seem to slow and with blacks activity he should be able to draw. |

| Jul-15-07 | | Poisonpawns: <RandomVisitor>What is funny is i am getting the same variations as you but i am using Fritz 5 from 1998 :-).
Seriously,Qf2 may be the end for this line,and you should write a pamphlet of the analysis. Here 17..Bxg3!? seems wrong,the comp is only doing that to win the d pawn.So i will look for a stronger contiuation for black. |
|
| Jan-06-08 | | MarkThornton: <RV> After 13. Qf2 Nb4 14. Bxb5+, I have spent a bit of time analysing <14...Bd7>. But it seems that White wins after 15. Bxd7+ Kxd7 16. 0-0! Nc2 17. fxe4 Nxa1 18. Qxf7+ and Black is getting hammered. |

|
| Jan-24-09 | | seeminor: 43.Rc7+ Kb1 44.Rc5 Ra4! |
|
| Jan-27-09 | | positionalgenius: this game is what got me into corr chess. I love this game. what a truly deep game. |
|
| Apr-24-09 | | Sicilian Dragon: Great game, nice pun! |
|
| Jun-08-09 | | steve123456: Doesn't 6.Bxb5...Bd7 7.dxc6 win Estrin a knight? |
|
| Jul-15-09 | | micahtuhy: After 6. Bxb5 Black is free to play Qxd5 and has a significant advantage. Taking b5 is a common trap that Black is trying to bait. |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | Rosbach: In this variation of two knights game could White not be better of playing 6.dxc6 or 6.Nc3?
Think I'll make a collection of White playing and loosing with 6.Bf1...

 | | profK: This is a great example, which often happens in correspondence chess, where analysis goes deeper than what has been around. in books, or current accepted practice. This is such a gem !!! |
|
| Jan-27-12 | | Penguincw: 5...b5 and things are already looking interesting. |
|
| Feb-05-12 | | erniecohen: I don't understand why Estrin cannot draw the Rook ending. For example, 34.  g3 d4 35.  f3 c2 36. f7 a5 37. d7+ e3 38. b3 xa2 39. b7 d2 40. xb6 xd3 is a draw. I think he just misplayed it.So, anyone want to bet that they can win with Berliner's position starting with move 34? I'm willing to take the White side of a postal. |

| Jul-31-12 | | Llawdogg: Wow! Great analysis by RV and others here. Really helped to understand the complexity of this game. |

| Feb-28-13 | | SirChrislov: Tim Harding analyzes this game in great detail in <64 Great Chess Games: Instructive Classics from the World of Correspondence Chess> It is a masterpiece in terms of precision, Makes the immortal game look like child's play. But to understand it fully you must go through all the variations, with a smaller analysis set (it helps.) If you're a postal-game nut, I recommend T. Harding's follow-up: <50 Golden Chess Games: More Masterpieces of Correspondence Chess> |
