Jan-01-06		notyetagm: Nice win by IM Taylor over the From's Gambit versus the Bird Opening. His new book on the Bird is available from the USCF at http://uscfsales.com/item.asp?cID=1....

Aug-20-07		adnol: What do you guys think about 27. h2+ as a best move for white? How would this alter the game for both white and black, and wouldn't this cause rather serious trouble for black? Thanks for all the replies,

Apr-15-08		parmetd: I think that 10 c3 is a ? e4! And definitely a more cynical person would simply say 1. f4? but certainly 27 h2+ is more a move that has the threat than the punch. The threat of doing this lies more. Remember black has gambitted a pawn for play and neither side seems to recall this in this passive, pawn grabbing crap that leads to an easy endgame for white.

Apr-15-08		Alphastar: <parmetd: I think that 10 c3 is a ? e4!> 10. e4? Nxd4! White cannot take on d4 with the queen because of 11. ..Bxg3+ winning the queen. Hence white plays 10. c3 protecting d4 and stopping ideas like Nb4 before continuing.

Apr-15-08		parmetd: sorry you're right I meant to say c4.

Mar-23-09		niemzo: I think 11...Bf5 transposing to this game T Rendle vs Kotronias, 2005 would be better. It forces e4 and the square can no longer be used by the knight, as in this game.
