Nov-05-06   sfm: Real pretty. The move 23. Rxe4!! demonstrates Black's "lonely king" vulnerabilities, leaving no defence against the decicive penetration of the white queen, undressing him from his left.
Nov-05-06   syracrophy: Awesome! Check out that if 42.g8=Q?? Rh6+! 43.Kg5 Qxg8+ with a drawing endgame. That's the explanation for 42.Qf7+!

I think that after 23.Rxe4! fxe5 was much better.

I didn't expected 25.Ng6+! I thought of 25.Nf7+ that was almost mating <25...Kg8?? 26.Nh6+! Kh8 27.Qg8+!! Rxg8 28.Nf7#> but I missed that Black simply plays 25...Rxf7 26.Qxf7 Rxd4

Nov-05-06   syracrophy: They're just 11 years! Give me a break! At that age I didn't even knew how to play chess...

  Sneaky: No syra, these weren't children. "W-ch11 sf01 corr" means "11th World Correspondence Championship" (The sf01 means 1st semi-finals, I think.)
Nov-05-06   syracrophy: <Sneaky> Jaja, lol! =P Thanks for the correction. =)
Nov-05-06   Gowe: Incredible game. 23. Rxe4! just amazing
But 25.Nxg6!! (truly deserves a doble exclamation mark). This move you can only do after a long and deep, calculation, because if it doesn't work, you are absolutely lost. But let me say:
29.Rd5 (A key move)
Nov-05-06   Gowe: Ok. Just for fan: What's white winning combination after 34... Kd8?
Nov-05-06   sfm: <after 34... Kd8 ?> 35.g7 does it. E.g. 35.-,Rxd4 36.Qxf8+ BTW, this Roman does a nice crush of another more famous Roman here in 20 moves: RIL vs Dzindzichashvili
R Levit vs Dzindzichashvili, 1967
Nov-05-06   GrandPatzerSCL: Hamarat Home? I dont get it.
Nov-05-06   Operation Mindcrime: Lovely game.

But is this opening really a Nimzo-Indian? Black never played .....Bb4 at any point. It looked more like a Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange Variation by transposition - 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Nf6 and so on, followed by White's cxd5.

Nov-05-06   mahmoudkubba: As far as Im concerned, the word Hamarat in Arabic means the woman donkey and by connecting (look at the cleverness) levit with the word leave it we find that there are both two Hamarat a boy from one side and a girl (Let God forbid that on a girl of course because some thinks that girls are holy HaHaHa) So the word might refers to more than one Hamar. : From Roman Izrailevich Levit vs Tunc Hamarat "Hamarat Home" HeeHeeHee. (Look also at the word Izrailevich a boya from Is IIIs who originally came in from Russia HeeHee (Not meaning at all to insult any member.
Nov-05-06   mahmoudkubba: In fact in Arabic if some one a friend says to u : You situpid, one way of a lovely answer is: and u r a 60 situpids HaHaHa , Yet didn't understand much of the say of the day really.
Nov-05-06   ughaibu: Mahmoudkubba: Nice to see you outside the cafe.
Nov-05-06   ughaibu: And "the world" thinks it can beat Nickel with Rybka?!
Nov-05-06   mahmoudkubba: As the game is conserned black resigned as I can see, so is that what happened really? As far as i know some players do not resign unless a real good reason or till the real end or due to something they knows ...etc.
Nov-05-06   mahmoudkubba: <ughaibu>: do u mean Nickel is playing for Rypka or something??? As far as I remember there one day in the general forum some one suggested a game between me and u.
Nov-05-06   ughaibu: No, I mean that this is correspondence chess at a high level, looking at lines from Rybka is trivial by comparison.

Nov-05-06   mahmoudkubba: Also the word 'Home" reminds me of the famous story: 'Bernard Alba's House' or 'Bernard Alba's girls' may be or something. I really ask God whatever the real situation of a story or in reality to be to survive me at a near and/or a far end, and many other good people of course.

Especially when thinking deep in the analysis and the anatomy of the texture and text and also when thinking of Aleppo as a word having something in common with Alba even if little.

Or also when some one from this site some times ago mentioned, that a person might be sometimes proving to be a fool, or proving the reverse of course.

Any how there might be a possibility that the play and/or the story I saw, read little criticism abt and heard abt is not at all the original story of B.A.'s House and also the possibility that I am thinking far and miles away.

Really asking and confiding a secret to God and Let God save MahMah and other goodies

And as far as I know God purifies and chastity souls when they die. Yet not knowing whether this is only for humans or to all creatures.

Yeepppeee

  Domdaniel: OK, roundup time.

<GrandPatzerSCL> Try saying "hammer it home" in English. A nail hammered in deeply is said idiomatically to be 'home'. The pun here arises because there are not many relevant English phrases starting 'hammer at...' - yet Hamarat's name invites this treatment.

<mahmoudkubba> That title, in the English version, is 'The House of Bernardo Alba'. Alba means 'white' in some languages: thus English words like albino and albumen. I'm not sure how you jump from there to Aleppo, Syria.

But Shakespeare had a line, "That in Aleppo Once..." which Vladimir Nabokov used for the title of a short story. And Nabokov wrote a novel, Luzhin's Defense, about chess. You're not the only one who can jump about like a Knight...

<ughaibu> Agreed. Brilliant top-level CC. Tunc Hamarat doesn't lose very many games, which makes it even more interesting. But remember World-vs-Nickel, with its 24-48-hour turnaround, is blitz by comparison. Guess we'll just have to lean on the clock and hustle him, eh?

  Domdaniel: And it's not a Nimzo-Indian. A Semi-Tarrasch, probably.

  Resignation Trap: <Domdaniel> I would call it a Semi-Tarrasch. However, it could also be classified as B14, a Caro-Kann Panov-Botvinnik. See for yourself: 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.c4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6 6.Nf3 Be7 7.cxd5 Nxd5 9.a3 .

  kevin86: Nice pun,good finish-with all three queens in a row (or at least a diagonal)
Nov-06-06   mahmoudkubba: <Domdaniel>: Aleppo was the city according to some historical notes when badnmess were a lot in it and there is the order from God to Mouses to destroy it. I was referring to the play I saw because in it after a while of the play one girl said to the other : well u know we are bad girls after all yet some don't know that, well thats what I remeber from a play I saw ages ago (more than 20 years by now) and it was translated to pure Arabic as well. Any how I still don't know the answer if those going to go to hell all of them or some of them might got a repentance and a forgivness from his eminence God, yet in my opinion they deserve to the ever hell but I might be mistaken of course ue to what I suffered or sees those who suffer from badness whether humans and/or creatures.

<Domdaniel & Resignation Trap>: I didn't notice what u r talking abt. from the first reading, I mean the names of the o. and stil thinks abt them.

<Resignation Trap>: I wonder if ur nick used name or avatar refers to something. Any how ur posts r nice ones.

Nov-06-06   mahmoudkubba: Also if Im thinking on the right line, any one shouldn't tell really, even if it is a well-known Caro-Kann Panov-Botvinnik or any other thing HaHaHa. well please don't tell if I know and u know it is for the goodness situations for what Im thinking abt.
