Jul-22-11		Oceanlake: The opening of the future....

Jul-22-11		swr: 1996 - the good old days, when it was this easy to beat a computer.

Jul-22-11		DrMAL: Shredder was ahead until move 15, when it made a poor move. Then, on move 16 it steps into a quick mate. Was there a big thunderstorm going on? Just for grins (hash cleared): Houdini_15a_x64: 9/27 00:00 126,393 +M5 17.Bxh7+ Kxh7 18.Rh3+ Kg8 19.Qh5 f6 20.g6 Bxf4 Figured out in about 30 milliseconds LOL

Jul-22-11		Check It Out: My Shredder so did not fall for this. As a matter of fact, it can't stop laughing at me. Oh shut up.

Jul-22-11		DrMAL: I think ole Steinwender poured his coffee in it.

Jul-22-11		HeMateMe: "Dieter Schroeder spielen."

Jul-22-11		HeMateMe: You always learn something new here. I'd never heard of the Amazon Attack before. Do any GMs ever play it?

Jul-22-11		DrMAL: W Pollock vs Max Weiss, 1889 has 2.Qd3 (apparently, defines the Amazon attack) Maybe 3.f4 is a tributary? Pollock was an IM, I guess that is as close as it comes...

Jul-22-11		Nightsurfer: THIS GAME is a MILESTONE! Dieter Steinwender who is one of the pioneers of computer chess, please read http://chessprogramming.wikispaces...., demonstrates his famous KARATE-CHESS in a very convincing way. KARATE-CHESS has been Dieter Steinwender's special way to get the programs out of the books - and his KARATE-CHESS-style opener against dreaded SHREDDER has been THE AMAZON ATTACK 2.Qd3 ... Therefore Steinwender has succeeded in brilliantly outplaying SHREDDER that was already strong back then in 1996 - though SHREDDER is probably somewhat stronger today, for sure, with a rating of ELO 2824 or so :-) ... Witnesses who have watched SHREDDER's defeat against Steinwender in 1996, they have reported that German programmer Stefan Meyer-Kahlen, the creator of SHREDDER (more information at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan...), was devastated after he had to accept that Steinwender had transformed the so-called electronic "killer" named SHREDDER into a pretty harmless toaster ... Thank you so much for posting that game that has written history!

Jul-22-11		abuzic: 14...Qc7 (14...g6, or ...Ne7 keeps black ahead) 15.g5 Ne8?? (15...Ne4! saves the N and avoids the following mate) mate in 5: 16.Rxh7+ Kh8 17.Qh5 Nf6 18.gxf6 g5 19.Rxg5 Bxf4 20.Bg8#

Jul-22-11		kevin86: Interesting second move:I never even thought of it. Man shreds machine: the good old days.Like the old days when the USA teams used to win in sports.

Jul-22-11		DrMAL: <kevin86: Interesting second move:I never even thought of it.> That's probably a very good thing LOL. Not sure if the witnesses to this game were part of a collusion to short circuit the computer! :-)

Jul-22-11		Amarande: Perhaps most attractively: if 17 ... Kxh7 18 Rh3+ Kg6, the mate arrives with 19 Qh5+ Kf5 20 Ng3+ Kxf4 21 Nb1#. The books always said to develop your pieces. Sometimes it's better to go home again. :) (Actually, any move of the White Nd2 on move 21 will do, but there's just a very fun flouting of the general principles by making the mating move that results in both the moving piece and mating piece being on their original squares at the end!)

Jul-22-11		WhiteRook48: classic.

Jul-04-15		beenthere240: According to Shelby Lyman, this opening (2. Qd3) was favored by Napoleon, who used it to achieve many losses.
