Feb-24-11		paavoh: @phonybenoni: <...though it was more a case of the pawns trickling up than down> We could use the Flip Board button to make "Black look White", just like Reagan did with his economics plan :-)

Feb-24-11		Skakalec: OK , I can maybe swallow 6...d5, but I really don't see what white has after 5...Bxd4?

Feb-24-11		Sastre: <Skakalec: OK , I can maybe swallow 6...d5, but I really don't see what white has after 5...Bxd4??> White can regain the pawn with 6.Bxf7+ Kxf7 7.Qc4+ Kg7 8.Qxd4+ Nf6.

Feb-24-11		Aniara: Donald Regan was Reagan's first Secretary of the Treasury.

Feb-24-11		Phony Benoni: By the way, this sort of thing can happen at the highest levels. Here's a position before Black's 6th move from Alekhine vs Euwe, 1937, game 6 of their championship rematch: click for larger view Alekhine had just offered a surprise piece sacrifice, and after some frantic calculation Euwe came up with <6...b5??>. Alekhine replied <7.Nxb5!>, and won the game in 23 moves.

Feb-24-11		belgradegambit: Memories. Its the 1960s in NYC (at the Mcalpin hotel I think).I'm entered in an Under 1600 USCF section tournament. After playing some skittles with a talented young Kenny Regan he says to me: "This is actually a very strong tournament. I'm very underated and your're underated." Well I could certainly tell it was true about Kenny but not nearly so much so about me. Nice sharp game!

Feb-24-11		David2009: K Regan vs J D Tisdall, 1977 White 16? click for larger view This is an easy White win isn't it? Not meven Crafty End Game Trainer can recover so much material deficit, surely? Oops... Have fun finding the win! Link: http://www.chessvideos.tv/endgame-t...

Feb-24-11		kevin86: Trickle down economics has proven to be a massive failure. It has: 1 increased the power and money of the richest 1-2% at the expense of the resat. 2. It has created huge defecits-guarenteed to sap the economy for years ahead. 3. It has focused more on the exchange of money rather than producing products-guarenteed to make the US a buyer and debtor nation.

Feb-24-11		rilkefan: <PB: 6...cxb5 is answered by 7.Bd5> Oh yeah, duh. I wonder a bit if 7...Bxd4 8.Bxa8 Bd7 isn't better than what happened.

Feb-24-11		WhiteRook48: black was losing from move 11 and before.

Feb-24-11		apexin: -Where is regan? -In here,with us.

Feb-24-11		Oceanlake: Then I would have tried to get the bishop and a second pawn for it. On the other hand, I could save time by resigning. On the other hand, I wouldn't have played a modern defense.

Mar-13-25		takebackok: On and on missed it Wednesday, spotted 8. Bb3 yea, then 8...Qa5+ or Nf6 or cxb5?! not a clue.

Mar-13-25		mel gibson: I didn't get that today. Stockfish 17 says: 8.Bb3 (8. Bb3 (1.Bb3 Nf6 2.Nc3 Nxe4 3.Nxe4 dxe4 4.Qxe4 0-0 5.Nf3 Bf5 6.Qe2 Nb4 7.0-0 a5 8.Ba4 Rc8 9.Bg3 Nd5 10.c3 Nb6 11.Bc2 Bxc2 12.Qxc2 c5 13.dxc5 Rxc5 14.Rfe1 Re8 )+1.58/47 301) score for White +1.58 depth 47.

Mar-13-25		scormus: "Trickle Down"? I dont get it. Unless it's another name for Capitol Hill.

Mar-13-25		Teyss: Hi Scormus, The pun refers to Regan / Reagan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trick... I'm with <TheaN> who according to my AI will complain in 2 hours and 19 minutes and rightfully so: again not a clear-cut Wednesday puzzle. Declining the Knight sac gives a minor advantage as per mel and accepting it results in an only slightly better lead. The game lasts for another 33 moves which is probably a record for a Wednesday in the main line. Well at leat we got a new POTD.

Mar-13-25		Teyss: * Thursday puzzle of course, but still. The weeks do seem long.

Mar-13-25		TheaN: I played this differently, abusing the centralized king I liked <8.exd5!?>, basically piling on the pressure. The subtlety I missed was a delayed Qa5+, as 8....Qa5+? 9.Bd2 +-, but after <8....cxb5 9.Bxb5+ Kf8> White can't actually take on a6 due to Qa5+, so <10.c4 ⩲> and SF gives this as dynamically worse for Black: king on f8, not a clear plan for development and White's free as a bird. for ♘:3♙. White will have to be accurate. The text move is better, as it keeps the pressure alive, missed 8....cxb5 9.Qxb5+ Qd7 10.Qxd5 ±. <Teyss: I'm with <TheaN> who according to my AI will complain in 2 hours and 19 minutes > Do we have timestamps nowadays :>? Actually IMO, this one is decent. It's an instructive idea in a risky Black opening that's honestly not that hard to spot, kind of going with <Lambda>'s dogma of "the best move is a clear advantage" regardless of response with a (few) concrete line(s) to calculate. Thursday level, maybe not, but what would this categorize as otherwise? Weekend might be too easy. Decided to make these more at face value and see where we go from here.

Mar-13-25		Gottschalk: Ugly game. Arrrrgh!

Mar-13-25		scormus: <Teyss> Thanks, just my British sense of humour. "Down(s)" a word we often use to refer to a low hill(hilly area). Couldn't think of anything interesting about the puzzle to talk about

Mar-13-25		Teyss: Hi scormus, Right. Apologies for the pontification, should have remembered CG users are generally smarter than average. Cheerio. Hi TheaN, <<Do we have timestamps nowadays :>?> Was actually thinking about the movie 'Minority Report', good flick that one.

Mar-14-25		Walter Glattke: 8.exd5 cxb5 9.Bxb5+ Kf8 10.Bxa6 Bxd4 11.Bxc8 Rxc8 12. Be5 +-

Mar-14-25		FM David H. Levin: <<Walter Glattke>: 8.exd5 cxb5 9.Bxb5+ Kf8 10.Bxa6 Bxd4 11.Bxc8 Rxc8 12. Be5 +-> After 10.Bxa6 in this line, 10...Qa5+ wins a piece. White gets several pawns as compensation, but the game continuation seems much stronger.
