| Bobsterman3000: Someone correct me if I am wrong, but this game is just a modified Greek gift (in a twisted sort of way). Black helped it along with 8...Bxg5 (unwisely giving up the cover of the h-pawn) and with allowing 10...Bxf6 (unwisely giving up the knight defending h7). |

| OktHorse: These "anti-positional" openings are very interesting because they remove the preprograming of opennings via computers. Whether you like it or not, shuffling the pieces along the back rank would reinvent exciting chess games. Not FRC because of the illogical castling rule, but randomizing or allowing players to choose the set up would help tremendously. |

| ruylopez900: What's with 10...g6?? It seems to give White the game. Why not capture on f6 with the pawn or Bishop?? It doesn't seem that terrible. |

| Troewa: <RuyLopez900> Recapturing on f6 with the pawn or the bishop will lead to mate after 11. Qh5! |

| ruylopez900: I guess you're right, I didn't notice that White's Bishop attacked the h7 also. |

| Lawrence: <ughaibu>, he was doing fine until 17...hxg5? (...Nc4 or ...Bc4). And 18...Nbd5? was no good either. (Junior 8) |

| alphee: I don't pretend to be an expert but it seems to me that white knows what he wants to do and doesn't beat around the bush. All moves focus on the same objective and until 7.g4 all piece are adequately protected (as far as I see it). Of course it is unconventional but it brings a bit of surprise and apparently it worked. May be black underestimated his oponnent as <slylonewolf:> said. |

| ughaibu: Lawrence: Thanks. I agree that neither of those were good moves, particularly Nbd5 didn't make any sense to me. |

| jaime gallegos: chessfected Bd3 looks like antipositional but that move is playable on Sicilian Defense ! |
|

| Benjamin Lau: Chessfected mean that it is "antipositional" in this context only, of course, since it locks down the central d pawn. I don't think it's that bad though since white can develop with it this way anyway, see Lasker vs J Bauer, 1889 for instance. |

| ughaibu: What do you think "anti-positional" means? Surely it means 'contrary to the requirements of the position'(?), in this case black has castled so Bd3 creating Horrowitz bishops is quite "positional", if the idea is that white should first play d4, I would class that idea as anti-positional. Chess has scope for variety of style, otherwise it'd be a boring game. On which point; if two programs (eg Fritz+Junior) are matched against each other and have their opening book bypassed will they just play the same game over and over? |

| masterwojtek: Was that a "Shakespeare's Mate"? |

| Benjamin Lau: Exactly, I agree ughaibu. |

| tpstar: For opening play, I believe 1. b4 is goofy, 3. a3 is very goofy, and 5. Bd3 is very very goofy, but if you believe goofy is good, great. Someone should master this line and demonstrate its potential; after all, it needs a name. But if your students start playing 1. e4 e5 2. Bd3, whatever. I like this set-up against 1. b4: Fischman vs Gaile, 1976 <weary willy> This game was in the Uncommon Opening (A00) Miniatures Game Collection, many of which were White winning after 1. b4. <patzer2> Have more than thou showest/Speak less than thou knowest/Lend less than thou owest/Ride more than thou goest/Learn more than thou trowest/Set less than thou throwest/Leave thy drink and thy @#$%*/And keep in-a-door/And thou shalt have more/Than two tens to a score (King Lear I/iv) |

| Lawrence: <masterwojtek>, don't know if this has any relation but at http://www2.localaccess.com/marlowe... there's an Elizabethan painting of Ben Jonson receiving mate in 3 from a person alleged to be Wm. Shakespeare. |
