Jan-14-12		Penguincw: Shame, a loss.

Jan-15-12		Garech: Ha! The kingside majority winning it for black in the open Ruy Lopez; not often that happens, Kudos to Pentala. -Garech

Jan-15-12		JoergWalter: <Garech> what exactly do you mean? open Ruy Lopez and kingside majority? Wrong game - right comment?

Jan-15-12		Garech: Sorry, I meant Queenside majority. Usually in this opening white plans to exchange all pieces and win with his kingside majority. It's very rare that you see black turn the tables and win with his queenside 'majority' as it's not usually mobile because the pawns are doubled there. -Garech

Jan-15-12		JoergWalter: <Garech> in an open RL you do not have doubled black pawns on the c file. You are talking about the Berlin or the exchange variation most probably.

Jan-15-12		Garech: Sorry, yes - I meant the exchange variation. -Garech

Jan-15-12		Caissanist: Since 6.Bxc6 is the main line in the Open Lopez, then you could say that about the Open Variation as well.

Jan-15-12		King Death: < Caissanist: Since 6.Bxc6 is the main line in the Open Lopez...> Since when? Unless something has changed 6.d4 b5 7.Bb3 d5 8.de Be6 is still the main line.

Jan-16-12		Caissanist: Sorry, I was referring specifically to this line, the "J. Rogers Line" (which we all think of as the Kramnik Line).

Jan-16-12		JoergWalter: J. Rodgers is a guy I know http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEIB...

Feb-01-12		offramp: <Garech: Ha! The kingside majority winning it for black in the open Ruy Lopez; not often that happens, Kudos to Pentala.> I appreciate you meant queenside - but in the Berlin black ALWAYS gets a queenside pawn majority. It is the idiom of that opening, and black's counterplay almost always involves using that majority...
