May-29-05  ArturoRivera: i know it is a stupid question, and please dont get mad for being so stupid, but after 3 seconds i couldnt solve it myself, what the hell does white do if black plays the greedy (and i assume ultra wrong) 9.-....Nxe4??
May-29-05  OneArmedScissor: I think this little "combo" happens, but I'm not sure... It's 6:00 in the morning and i'm dead tired.

9... Nxe4
10. Nxc6 Qxc6
11. Qd4 Qxa4
12. Qxe4

And I see a nice king side attack going for white when it would take time for Black to get any pieces into the defense.

May-29-05  OneArmedScissor: Also note that the bishop is pinned by the queen which I'm sure can be exploited by Kasparov to full effect.
Jun-03-05  ArturoRivera: Thanks for that, but i assume the compensation for 9.-...Nxe4?? should be MUCH superior, from over 124 games, no one has played it, therefore, in the name of the dark side of patzers and begginers, i summon to this page darth <Sneaky> , darth <Tpstar> and darth <IronMaiden>, your help would be highly appreciated, as i know you are constantly kitbitzing and you are far better than me, so i guess any of you three should know it, thanks in advance : )
