| shintaro go: Wesley So can very well be the Philippines' youngest GM ever. He currently has 2 GM norms and is currently working on his third one. If successful, it would be indeed a great achievement considering he is still 13 years of age. |

| gambitfan: IMHO (In my humble opinion, 2...  f6 is no good answer to the weak 2  c4 which should be adequately "punished".
Philidor's move (2... c6!) is the right answer... See J Bruhl vs Philidor, 1783 |

| dpacaba: <gambitfan> I don't think the Opening Explorer would agree to that |

| kevin86: The acronym of GOD for game of the day is an amusing idea. I just hope that other users would put their attention to the real God-after all,a commandment is "Thou shalt not have any other Gods before ME". A good game by the winner;for the loser,he has a lot of work to do to catch up. |

| playground player: Speaking of Scripture, there is a Pharaoh named So in the Bible (II Kings 17:4). Kind of ironic, if Mr. El Taher is an Egyptian. |

| Gantreel: OK, so 6. ... Nf2 7. Qh5 g6, then what? |

| gambitfan: <dpacaba>: The Opening Explorer precisely gave me J Bruhl vs Philidor, 1783 After 1 e4 e5 2 c4 c6 the most aggressive attack for White is 3 c2 (6 games) and the only winning answer for Black is Philidor! But this variant is very seldom and Chess Opening Explorer is of no statistical significance in this case... |

| Alekhinelover: What if 6...Nf2 7.Qh5 O-O? Can white still get a win? |

| zb2cr: To explain <Bingat29>'s comments, which seem cryptic: So after 22. ... Rf7; 23. Qg8+, Ke7; 24. Qxc8 (Black loses his white-squared Bishop). If then 24. ... Rxh7; 25. Qxb7+ and White has his choice of which Black Rook to pick off. If instead Black tries 22. ... Rf4; 23. g3. Now the Black Rook is all but trapped. If 23. ... Rf3; 24. Ke2 and the Black Rook can only retreat to f7, at which point the line in the previous paragraph applies. If 23. ... Rg4; 24. Nf6+, Kd8; 25. Qf8+, Kc7; 26. Qe7+. Now two variations: (a) 26. ... Nd7; 27. Ne8+, Kb8; 28. Qxd6#.
(b) 26. ... Bd7; 27. Nxg4, hxg4; 28. Rf1 with a winning material edge. |

| Stonewaller2: <Gantreel: OK, so 6. ... Nf2 7. Qh5 g6, then what?> Just off the top of my woodpusher's head (after taking time off to deal with the U.S. tax laws), 8. fg fg 9. h6 intending g5. |
|
| Apr-09-07 |
| Stonewaller2: <Alekhinelover: What if 6...Nf2 7.Qh5 O-O? Can white still get a win?> f3-g5 looks tempting, but see my earlier caveat. Whatever. Black's sixth in the text sure looks like he wanted to prevent h5. |
