 | | Sneaky: weisyschwarz: <"a Spanish Opening traffic jam" -- Keats> I prefer "logjam" myself. This is a hoary, stodgy and congested opening system. Often I wish the King's Gambit and Evan's Gambit never went out of style. |
 |
| Mar-07-09 | | Cacoethes: <Mateo: I hardly expected 18.Rc1...>
ChessOK broadcast error - that move is from Radge - Wang |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | vonKrolock: But the exchange in f6 was not a very ambicious option |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | Woody Wood Pusher: < just a kid: <WWP>Why is it funny?> Cos I liked it.
haha |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | humangraymatter: Can someone explain what "spanish opening traffic jam" is please?Thanks. |

 | | Open Defence: <Sneaky> the Evans Gambit is alive and well, the HIARCS Forum Team is in the middle of a very interesting game against corresspondence expert David Overton |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | mokaccino: i would play with Tf1 and then f4 |

 | | PinnedPiece: < An Englishman: Good Morning: The Nf3-h2 idea is interesting. Ng4 is coming, forcing Black to choose between conceding the two Bishops or allowing a further Ng4-e3, with both d5 and f5 beckoning. > Nevertheless, 17.Ra6 would have pinned the d6 pawn after the N was driven off, and lasering the black Q, making black's center vulnerable.... 18.?
Ra6 is still available....no?

|
| Mar-07-09 | | Chlipchlop: 18. Ra6 looks good indeed. :) |
|

 | | An Englishman: <PinnedPiece>, 18.Ra6 also looks interesting to me, for a different reason; preparation for monopolizing the a-file. If White can drive away the Nc6, then a combination of Ra6-a7 and Nh2-g4-e3-d5 puts a lot of pressure on Black's Queen side. |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | chessic eric: <Pinned Piece: 18.Ra6> definitely !?, but i'm not sure it will do what you want it to. Seems to me that black Nc3 is doing very little there, and encouraging it to find a better square (...Nd8) is counterproductive for white. I like the idea of pinning d6 to the queen across the 6th rank, especially in tandem with Ng4 attacking f6 & e5, but once the black bishop vacates e6, there is enough protection on e5. |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | TheWizardfromHarlem: you said IF he drives the knight away how do u suppose he go about doing that that was a fairy tale post you if if if if |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | Chlipchlop: Then why did Leinier Dominguez-Perez not play Ra6 yet ? |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | AuN1: Ne7 and b4 both look playable here for ivanchuck. |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | chessic eric: The game A Kovacevic vs S Brenjo, 2000, 1-0, after white's 20th. Quite a similar position, although black looks better here:

| Mar-07-09 | | herby rawley: R-a6 will not go naway and he keeps making "little problems" for black if black holds this he's gotta be really accurate |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | chessic eric: I mean Ivanchuk looks better than the diagram. |
|
Mar-07-09
 | | Marmot PFL: It seems Ivanchuk should play 21..b4 for activity before white stops this with Nd5 or his own b4 |
|

 | | Eyal: <The second horse is sent to d5. Cover this field can be achieved by Ne7, but then the rook with tempo intrudes on a7.> (Notkin) |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | melianis: My guess is 20...Kh7 ;-). Traffic jam begins to be cleared, I think. |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | Chlipchlop: 21. Ra7. It seems to become left against right side... ;) |
|
Mar-07-09
| | Marmot PFL: 20...Ne7 stops Nd5 but Ra7 looks strong. |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | chessic eric: <Marmot PFL: It seems Ivanchuk should play 21..b4 for activity before white stops this with Nd5 or his own b4> What to do about d5 would be my question. ...Ne7 preparing ...c6 and defending f5 looks good to me. |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | Mateo: White won't lose if he doesn't touch a pawn but he won't win neither. |
|
Mar-07-09
| | PinnedPiece: After 21. Ra7 ?
We may see the time even up here a little.
0:58 1:25
