Dec-23-03		nateinstein: Very good move. If 8... Qa5+, 9. Bd2 Qb6 10. a5 Qxb2 11. Bc3 wins queen since if 11... Qb6 12. Nc7+ wins queen.

Dec-23-03		Fisto: Didn't see that coming.

Dec-23-03		NoName: nor did i!

Dec-23-03		Benjamin Lau: Lol, the comedy of truth. So NoName, are the rumors that you've lived over 400 years true?

Dec-23-03		catfriend: <nateinstein> I didn't understand the end of your analysis.. if 11..Qb6 why not simply 12.a:Qb6 ? and 12.Nc7+ loses the knight... Did u mean Qb5?

Dec-23-03		Qian: wow.

Dec-23-03		patzer2: <natenstein/catfriend> Fritz 8 verifies 8... a5+, 9. d2 b6 10. a5 xb2 11. c3 as best play winning the queen. Now if 11...b6 12. axb6 wins the queen. Fritz's analysis continues 11...xa1 12. xa1 d8 13. xg7+ e7 14. 0-0 f6 15. dxe5 dxe5 16. f3 f8 17. f5 c5 18. e3 (+3.19 @ 16 depth & 659kN/s).

Dec-23-03		talchess2003: My calculation led to : 7. Ne6 fxe6 8 Bxh6 gxh6 9 Qa5+ Kf8 10. Bxe6 Qd8 11. Qxa6++ After 8... Rb8 white will simply play Bxe6, with a much superior position. If black moves 7... Qa5+ white will respond 8. Bd2 and now black loses his knight on a6 due to the threat of Nxg7+ , Bxa6. Would Ne6 be winning? I think so...

Dec-23-03		nateinstein: Sorry, I did mean 11.. Qb5, not Qb6. Sorry for the confusion.

Dec-23-03		nateinstein: <talchess2003> I also thought of 7. Ne6. I do think that that has winning chances as well as you noted in your continuation. I just think the bishop move is more direct.

Dec-23-03		Dick Brain: My solotion was the same as the one in the game except I finished with 12 Na3. I didnt even consider 7. Ne6 although it looks interesting.

Jun-05-06		JonONeill: That's brilliant.

Jun-05-06		weev: 6. a4 was a great move, getting the trap ready.
