Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-13-05  Kingsider: OK, Ill start the ball rolling.With 5.Ne5 Krause Attack.Kramnik said after 30.Ka3 the position requires deep analysis.Maybe 30...a6 or 30...RxB 31.gxRf3 Rxh2 32.Rxa7 h5 33.Rc7 h4(if memory serves)to complex for over the board,which is why Shirov got in time trouble.
Sep-13-05  dhotts: Why didn't Shirov exchange Queens on move 22...Qxe5 keeping his kingside pawns connected? It seems strange that he would allow an isolated pawn to be created. Is move 22.0-0 a mistake?
Jan-28-08  tomasv: I just played this opening with a friend of mine and after 13. ... Qd5+ we continued 14.Ke1 Qa5 15.Kf2 b5 16.Qe3 f6??. His 16th move is an obvious blunder, but I can't find a refutation of 14.Ke1. In all games I could find on the net white always played 14.Kc2. Could anyone point out why is that a stronger move? Thank you
Jul-30-09  WhiteRook48: white had to make transpositional manuevers to get it into the double queen pawn opening area
Sep-01-09  WhiteRook48: this is interesting opening liveliness
