 | | sevenseaman: A nice finishing kick! Hou plays a solid game. |
 |

| Dec-24-11 | | erniecohen: Black missed a chance to strike first with 19... d3+ 20.  b1 (20. cxd3  xa2) 20...xb2 21. xb2 b4+ 22. a1  xc3.She also might have defended better with 20...g6. |

 | | jahhaj: This is a good system to try if you don't want to learn lots of Sicilian theory. By giving up the bishop for knight you get a free position which is easy to play. You can play aggresively by castling queenside as Hou did, or you can play more modestly by castling kingside. As a bonus I found that weaker players often play the terrible 8...e5. |
|
| Dec-24-11 | | erniecohen: 26. g4 is a huge blunder. Black could have defended with 26...g7 27. g3 g5 28. h4  e7 29. h5 c6 30. hxg5 xg5 31. xg5+ hxg5 32. xg5+ xf7 and the attack fizzles out.The correct continuation was 26. g1 h7 27. f6 and Black is helpless. |
|
| Dec-24-11 | | KingV93: Beautiful and clever sacrificing combination at the finish. It seems Black allows White to dictate a little too much in this game, some counter punching might've helped. |

| Dec-24-11 | | King Death: <jahhaj: This is a good system to try if you don't want to learn lots of Sicilian theory...> This system has plenty of theory too.
<...By giving up the bishop for knight you get a free position which is easy to play.> But Black doesn't have to play 4...Nc6 5.Bb5 either. He can try either 4...a6 or 4...Bd7. |

 | | maxi: I am not sure if I like this game, but I certainly do like the way the White Queen sneaks in the enemy castle at the end. |

 | | playground player: This opening looks a lot like one of Morphy's games, but I can't remember the opponent. Does anybody else? |

| Dec-24-11 | | JoergWalter: <playground player: This opening looks a lot like one of Morphy's games, but I can't remember the opponent. Does anybody else?> Can't be a sicilian by Morphy.
Similar set up, Qxd4, Bb5xc6, Bg5 etc is most likely in a philidor. Morphy vs Harrwitz, 1858
Morphy vs H Baucher, 1858 |

 | | Once: As a lifelong e4 player, I would dearly love to end a game against a sicilian with "f8=Q+, 1-0". The ultimate triumph of the f pawn, so often the weapon of choice against the sicilian. Can it get much better than this? I suppose f8=N# might just top it. But I would have had to be a very good boy all year for Santa to bring me a present like that one. |
|
| Dec-24-11 | | JoergWalter: <Once> sure that underpromotion to N
will top it? if f8=N then Kg8. |
|

| | Once: As I said, I would have had to have been a very good boy all year for f8=N# to work in this game, or any other for that matter. But here's a funny thing. I had meant the reference to f8=N to be a hypothetical statement - a "wouldn't it be great if..." But Fritz reckons that 32. f8=N+ does indeed win, although it isn't mate in 1. Of course, black can't take either rook or knight. 32...Kxh6 33. Rh7+ is a very pretty finish:

Funny what happens when you wish upon a star... |

| Dec-24-11 | | lemaire90: 30. Qxh6 !! with an awesome checkmate. |
|
| Dec-24-11 | | dandanakan: I think 17.Rf1 is the cascade move to demoralize black |
|

| | playground player: <JoergWalter> Yes, those are the games I was thinking of. Surely Morphy faced the Sicilian in some of its more primitive forms. |
|
| Dec-25-11 | | JoergWalter: <playground player> you might be interested in Morphy's annotations to a sicilian game. http://www.chesscafe.com/text/skitt... |
