| Mar-12-05 | | erasmus: the move 4.Bg5 will not necessarily lose a piece, but black will have an advantage. The bishop can be saved:
4.Bg5 Ne4 6.Be3 Bxe3 7.fxe3 Qh4+ 8.g3 Nxg3 9.Nf3 Qh6 10.Rg1. Black won a pawn and is positionally better.
For a better continuation of 4.Bg5? with black see K Zimak vs Sobek Jaroslav, 1992 |

 | | Bishoprick: Milton Hanauer gave me my first job after graduating from college. Had fun for many years playing him (and Milton Finkelstein)over lunch. When I knew him he always played the Caro-Kan against e4, but he only played skittles. He had given up chess and had morphed into an avid bridge player on the second floor of the Marshall Chess Club. Thanks for reminding me of him in this silly miniature. |

| Aug-27-10 | | Lil Swine: its like a wall street tragedy, black gets the big money, then loses it all, a classical representation of greed and punishment, or like madoff, he scams a bunch of money and then is caught, chess is not only strategic and mind- blowing, but its also realistic |

 | | Phony Benoni: The poor fellow playing White was <W. C. Arnold>. You can do with that as you wish, but apparently when it came to chess he was not outstanding in his Fields. Not to mention that, after the game, he probably would not rather have been in Philadelphia. This was from a preliminary section of the 1936 American Chess Federation Congress (now known as the U.S. Open). Arnold finished last, scoring 1.5/12. I have no idea where he got the points. Hanauer finished fourth in the premilinary second, then 10th out of 12 players in the championship final. |

I've seen people mated or at least really decisively punished for taking as little as a pawn. Taking a whole queen for mate is less greedy than that. |
