Jun-09-05		Jaymthetactician: Why not 6.Nxe5? That immediately wins.

Jun-09-05		WannaBe: <Jaymthe*> How do you figure that O' genius one? Please post your winning line for us to learn.

Jun-09-05		hintza: <Why not 6.Nxe5? That immediately wins.> What are you talking about? 6.Nxe5 Qe7 and Black wins a piece.

Jun-09-05		aw1988: Nxe5 in the spirit of the Damiano. But yes, Qe7 wins a piece.

Jun-09-05		tpstar: <Jaymthetactician> It's good to look for that tactic whenever you spot the e5/f6 Pawn formation, however here the hole is 6. Nxe5?! Qe7 or even 6. Nxe5?! fxe5 7. Qh5+ g6 8. Qxe5+ Qe7 forcing a Queen trade and Black wins. Watch out for defensive maneuvers which will ruin a combination. Note also this database game where Black messed up Ulfheden vs Holmquist, 1977 This gambit line (Boden-Kieseritzky, right?) scores well for White with the open center plus the new weakness on f6.

Jun-09-05		aw1988: Some tactician. :P

Jun-10-05		Jaymthetactician: But after 6.Nxe5,Qe7 then 7.Bf4 protecting the knight.

Jun-10-05		tpstar: 6. Nxe5?! Qe7 7. Bf4 d6 is simplest, although 7 ... g6 also works. Black wins a piece for 2 Pawns. Not 7. Bf4 fxe5?! 8. Qh5+ g6 9. Qxe5 and White wins a third Pawn = 9 ... Bg7 (9 ... Qxe5? 10. Bxe5) 10. Qxe7+ Kxe7 11. Bxc7.

Mar-26-07		realbrob: Well, I don't know who the guy who played Black was, but he didn't have a clear idea of what playing chess is about.. He spent a lot of time pushing his kingside pawns weakening his own king without any purpose, and then moving his queen up and down while White developed all his pieces without any problems.. These are the typical situations in which combinations come out almost by themselves, and Black didn't even spot it..
