  whiteshark: <bishop55: 9...Bd5, maybe.>

I think that compared with e.g. <9.Qxc6 Bd5 10. Qxa6 Bxg2 11. Nh3 Bxh1 12.Nh5+ Kg6 13.Qxb5>

the game continuation looks much easier (or technically solid). At least I could now imagine why Moiseenko had choosen the actual line. Thanks for that, <bishop55>!

  HeMateMe: This is amazing. Why would black allow a game to start like this?
Oct-02-10  Illogic: If 11.. Nc2, then white plays e4! and Ng5+
Oct-11-10  blazerdoodle: Maybe he just figured he should do something incredibly inane and shock his opponent into making an even more stupid mistake, I mean, since he knew he was going to lose before he sat down, why not do something absurd?

It sure didn't work.

Didn't Alekhine play this, or a variation of it?

Oct-11-10  blazerdoodle: Thanks Whiteshark... lol... I was staring at the board thinking why didn't he pick up the Bishop when I saw you'd pointed that out. Down here around level ""D"", we do need these things explained badly. That's no joke.
Oct-19-10  akale86: 3)..a6 alekhines variation
Nov-07-10  blazerdoodle: Thx. Thought so. I get crushed whenever I try it.
Dec-12-11  Whitehat1963: Tuesday/Wednesday puzzle after 4...b5.
