Sep-12-08    ravel5184: First! Sep-12-08    artyom2008: 2!!!! 1 the worst 2 the best 3 the nerd etc Sep-12-08    Cactus: *Shakes head ashamedly* Sep-12-08    Shams: *pounds face on keyboard repeatedly* Sep-12-08    artyom2008: 4 the golden bird Sep-12-08    zoren: no discussion :o Sep-13-08    ravel5184: Seventh! :0) Oct-17-08    lonepsycho: 8th. We're playing this opening in GMAN2. Oct-17-08    Karnatakiaditya: 9th here! Oct-17-08    vikinx: And now I claim 10th. Oct-19-08    artyom2008: 0 the hero first da worst second da best 3 the nerd 4 the king of da north Oct-19-08    Cactus: <3 the nerd> That sounds like a pretty accurate discription of me. Oct-19-08    apple pi: Nth! :P Oct-28-10    rapidcitychess: Is the point of this line to delay breaking the pin as long as possible? Oct-28-10    plang: <Is the point of this line to delay breaking the pin as long as possible?> I think it is to accelerate the queenside counterplay while reducing the chance for "tricks" on b5. Oct-28-10    rapidcitychess: *glances at watch* That was fast! One more question: Why can't black in general play ...h6 and ...Nxe4? Oct-28-10    Shams: <rapidcitychess><Why can't black in general play ...h6 and ...Nxe4?> "In general" I think both players need to always be alert for this tactic. The question can only be answered in the particular. Calculating the desperado lines isn't too hard with practice. Oct-28-10    rapidcitychess: <Shams> Yes,I was just wondering if there was a reoccurring "theme" that was played. ^^ Oct-28-10    Shams: I just had a couple minutes to check Opening Explorer before class. After 9.f3 h6 white invariably retreats with 10.Be3 because the sacrifice works, but after 9.Be2 h6 10.Bh4 is possible-- black no longer has a later ...Nd2xf1 in the desperado sequence. I'm glad you asked, and I'm glad I looked it up. :) Oct-28-10    rapidcitychess: <Shams> *Blank look* Ummm, okay! Just kidding, I get it, but when I saw Nd2xf1 I was thinking "What in the world..." Whew, It's like a premium membership makes every one listen to you. :)
