Apr-13-05		patzer2: NM Schiller may wish to make a change to his note about 13...dxc3, which states "This loses by force. Again it was necessary to harrass the bishop at c4 by ... Na5." Appears to me, and Fritz 8, that 10... Bh8? is the move that "loses by force" to 11. Qf3! Black loses no matter what move he makes for his 13th. If 13...Na5, then 14. Nxh7! Kxh7 (14... Nxc4 15. Bh6 mates quickly) 15. Qh4+ Kg8 16. Bh6 (e.g. 16...Qd8 17. Qf6 ) is decisive.

Apr-13-05		patzer2: In addition to 10...Na5! 11. Nxg7 Kxg7 12. Nxf7 Rxf7 13. Bxf7 Kxf7 14. O-O =, Fritz 8 indicates Black can also equalize with the defensive move 10...b5! The analysis goes 10... b5 11. Nxf7 (11. Bxb5? gxh5! 12. Qxh5 h6 13. Nxf7 Rxf7 14. Bc4 Qf8 ) 11... Rxf7 12. Bxf7+ Kxf7 13. Qf3+ Kg8 14. Nxg7 Kxg7 = (-0.25 @ 14 depth).

Apr-13-05		kevin86: Could it be said that 1 ♘c3 would be "Geeting off to a good start?" I see it as a slightly unorthodox,but good move. While not a pawn move,it is strong and at the whim of the mover,can be transformed into a regular opening. The final position is instructive,black can only survive at the loss of the queen.--and even that for one more move.

Apr-13-05		Shams: I meet the scandinavian with 1.e4 d5 2.Nc3 d4 3.Nce2 and if 3...e5, as in this game, then the immediate 4.f4. For me, it works out better than the text. I would think Black should play 4...c5 instead of the 4...g6. If white gets in Bc4 before d3, he has solved his opening problems. with the black pawn already on c5 it's easier to harass the bishop on c4. Of course, now that I look the line up there aren't any games with 4...c5. The overwhelming choice is 4...Be6. I guess that makes more sense. Please, ignore me if you want to learn anything at all about this line. Here's a game with 4...g6 and black wins: Van Linde Paul (NED) vs A Stefanova, 1996

Apr-13-05		Shams: It looks like 1...c5 is the most testing response to this opening-- provided, that is, that black is a sicilian player. Opening Explorer

Apr-13-05		Ezzy: Guyt called him a lucky Geet!!

Apr-13-05		reprizent: This attack iz za booomb :)

Apr-13-05		Rocafella: I Love this game, excellent attack, made to look so easy

Apr-13-05		WannaBe: 1. Nc3, Geet-y up horsie... 8-))

Apr-13-05		kugely: If you can add appropriate comments on each game of the day, it will make chessgames.com a much more valuable and enjoyable website. Please consider doing that!!!

Apr-13-05		Shams: <kugely> are you speaking to anyone in particular?

Apr-13-05		soberknight: van Geet got Guyt's goat! (Say it three times fast.)

Apr-13-05		kugely: I was referrig to Notes by Eric Schiller. The fact that they appear as you unfold the game is very helpful.

Apr-13-05		al wazir: : Does accepting the sacrifice lose by force? If 10...gxh5 11. Qxh5 h6 12. Nxf7 (12. Bxf7+ is answered by 12...Kh8. Not 12...Rxf7 13. Qxf7+ Kh8 14. Qh5 Kg8 15. Nf7 Qf8 16. Nxh6+ Bxh6 17. Bxh6, which leaves black a pawn worse off than in the main line.) Rxf7 13 Qxf7+ Kh7. Now what?

Apr-13-05		patzer2: <al wazir> Fritz 8 rates it even at the end of your analysis, which would indicate that after 10. Nh5!?, Black can equalize with 10...gxh5, 10...b5 or 10...Na5. Black wasn't busted until after 10...Bh8? 11. Qf3!

Apr-13-05		patzer2: I'm adding 14. Nxf7! to my pinning collection because of how 15. Bh6! utilizes the other Bishop's pin on f7 as the key tactical element in supporting White's winning attack. Note that 14. Nxf7! Qxf7 also allows 15. Bh6!, with a mate to follow.

Jan-18-09		WhiteRook48: 15. Bh6!! exploits a PIN on the Rook, which does not control g7.

Mar-02-09		WhiteRook48: people playing their own opening!!

Oct-19-10		chesschampion11: 13.Qh3!

Dec-03-10		Winston Smith: lol Geet vs. Guyt

Dec-03-10		mastermind7994: Nice short game in this strange, unorthodox opening as described above who was played in 1967.

Jan-23-21		kingscrusher: 1.Nc3 is a very interesting move

Jan-23-21		fredthebear: <kingscrusher> I like your 1...Nc6 video!

Jan-30-21		kingscrusher: 7.f4 seems to be a key improvement giving white a nice advantage according to the latest Stockfish. My personal preference has been a routine prophylaxis move like a3. So I found c3 interesting. But actually 7.f4 seems even stronger: Dirk Daniel van Geet - Guyt 1-0 0.0, Paramaribo 1967 click for larger view Analysis by Stockfish 12: 1. ⩲ (0.52): 7.f4 exf4 8.Bxf4 Nf6 9.Nf3 Be6 10.Bxe6 fxe6 11.e5 Nd5 12.Bd2 0-0 13.Qe2 Qb6 14.0-0 Nc6 15.c4 Ne3 16.Bxe3 dxe3 17.Qxe3 Rad8 18.Rab1 Qc7 19.Rbe1 Nb4 20.Rd1 Nc6 21.Qxc5 b6 22.Qe3 Nxe5 23.Ng5 Qd7 24.d4 Rxf1+ 25.Nxf1 Nxc4 2. ⩲ (0.34): 7.Nf3 Nc6 8.Ng5 Nh6 9.0-0 0-0 10.Bd5 Nb4 11.Bb3 Kh8 12.f4 Bg4 13.Qe1 exf4 14.Bxf4 f6 15.Nf3 a5 16.a3 Nc6 17.h3 Bxf3 18.Rxf3 a4 19.Bd5 Ne7 20.Ba2 Nf7 21.Rf2 Nc6 22.Qe2 Nce5 23.Raf1 3. = (0.21): 7.c3 Nc6 8.Nf3 Nf6 9.cxd4 Nxd4 10.Nxd4 cxd4 11.0-0 0-0 12.h3 Qe7 13.a4 Be6 14.b3 Rfe8 15.Ne2 Qd8 16.Bd2 Nd7 17.Bxe6 Rxe6 18.b4 Rc8 19.Qb3 Rec6 20.Rac1 Bf8 21.Rxc6 Rxc6 22.a5 Qc7 White is slightly better (Gavriel, 30.01.2021)
