| Sep-27-11 | | DrMAL: Thanx gents it's just the kind of topic I've been looking for to further improve my attacking abilities, cheers. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | Shams: <whiteshark> Definitely add this game to that collection: Capablanca vs A Chase, 1922 |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | DrMAL: <Shams> That's a great one thanx for pointing it out. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | whiteshark: <Shams> Yes, indeed! Thank you very much!! |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | Shams: <whiteshark> I was surprised it wasn't in there! A great game for your nice collection. I think these are the sorts of games to play over before tournaments. Inspiring. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | whiteshark: <Shams> There is a small chapter on this topic in the most entertaining and highly recommended chess book <The joys of chess> by <Christian Hesse> called <The new chess doctrine>, p.281 et seq. http://www.jeremysilman.com/book_re... One of those books you can not put down! |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | DrMAL: <whiteshark> Looks like a fun book to buy. Some people snob out on Hesse because he is not a master, I think he is full of great stuff who cares what his rating is? |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @<DrMal>, <shams>, <whiteshark> apropos the discussion...Boris Gelfand won a nice game on the theme today at the Euro Teams! Gelfand vs Jobava, 2011 |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | whiteshark: Right, <DrMAL>, who cares! :D There are four article on chessbase.com - which gives you a 'light' foretaste of the widely varied topics and his entertaining style of writing: <Chess is more complete than life> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... <Chess: the ultimate invisible game> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... <Humor in Chess> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... <A great moment in chess (Part 4)> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | whiteshark: <SimonWebbsTiger:> Thanks, that's up-to-the-minute! Well, people with great minds often think alike. :D |
|
| Sep-30-11 | | DrMAL: On topic of books I am re-reading (it's been awhile) "Dynamics of Chess Strategy" by Vlastimil Jansa, I think it is maybe the best "opening book" ever written, cheers. |
|
| Oct-02-11 | | Shams: <whiteshark> Another for the collection! Rudnew vs Drosd, 1977 |
|
| Oct-02-11 | | whiteshark: <Shams> Thank you! :D |
|
| Oct-02-11 | | whiteshark: <DrMAL: ... <"Dynamics of Chess Strategy" by Vlastimil Jansa, I think it is maybe the best "opening book" ever written, cheers.>> Jansa explores the stages of play between the opening and the planning in the early middlegame, an area in which most club and tournament players would like to improve. And quite entertaiung to read. :D |
|
| Oct-02-11 | | DrMAL: It's an area even GMs look to improve, most important area in chess. Seems like you read it, great! :-) I recommend very highly for anyone beyond 1500 or the likes, at my level it is more like entertainment but very useful still, great reminders, cheers. |

| Oct-24-11 | | Everett: <SimonWebbsTiger: you're welcome.
Another famous KID Q for 2 bits sac is from
Spassky vs Bronstein, 1956
The variation is pretty much busted today but trust the imaginative David Bronstein to try it out!> Didn't realize it was busted. What line refutes it? For example Seirawan would have gotten the better game if he played his original plan against someone who knows a thing or two about the KID. Kasparov vs Seirawan, 1989 |
|
| Oct-25-11 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @Everett
I had in mind this game where 18. Nd3 improved on Kasparov's play J Levitt vs A Martin, 1989
Busted is probably hyperbole; I note ECO E assesses the line as only  Funnily enough, I saw the line essayed in a game in the recent Copenhagen Championship (which black won, but that wasn't down to the opening). |
|
| Oct-26-11 | | DrMAL: <SWT> and <Everett> Interesting discussion I will post on both games when time allows, presently too busy so computer is deeply evaluating various options (including obvious 10.Bh6!) on move 10 of Kasparov vs Short, 1988. |
|
| Nov-05-11 | | DrMAL: <whiteshark: <Shams> There is a small chapter on this topic in the most entertaining and highly recommended chess book <The joys of chess> by <Christian Hesse>> Forgot to mention friend who saw post gave me copy two weekends ago at tournament. It is very fun book, thanx for making post! |
|
| Nov-06-11 | | whiteshark: <DrMal> I'm glad to hear you enjoyed reading it! And you have a very attentive friend, too! :D
Sidenote: You sound a bit like <Than Phan> in your last post, but thanks, anyway. ;) |
|
| Nov-12-11 | | DrMAL: <whiteshark> Well, it is not my first language (fourth or fifth depending on how you count), neither is it for her. I often get help from friend with posts (actually, real DrMAL who basically stopped posting in summer, he still does at times) but I still often have trouble with wording. On subject of books, another friend gave me copy of this new one he wrote, I very much recommend it is even in Kindle version, cheers. http://www.amazon.com/A-Ferocious-O... |

| Jul-22-13 | | notyetagm: Yurtaev vs S Matveeva, 1987 29 ?
click for larger view29 ♕h1-h8+! <double attack: c8 & e8,g8,g7>
click for larger view29 ... ♗g5-d8
click for larger view30 ♗b5-e8! 1-0 <trapped piece: g6-queen>
click for larger viewA *fantastic* tactical conception by White (Yurtaev). 29 ♕h1-h8+! is a <DOUBLE ATTACK>. One <TACTICAL TARGET> is the <CHECK> to the Black c8-king. The second <TACTICAL TARGET> is the squares e8 (<SUPPORT/COORDINATE>), g8 (<DENIAL>), and g7 (<DENIAL>). Now the Black g6-queen is <TRAPPED> along the e8-h5 diagonals (<ONE DEGREE OF MOBILITY (ODOM)>) so 30 ♗b5-e8! 1-0 forces instant resignation as Her Majesty has nowhere to run! It is *astonishing* to me that in the initial position White can force Black's resignation in just 2 moves! Such is the power of <TRAPPING PIECES>, of <LACKING MOBLITY>, of not having enough <FLIGHT SQUARES>. It is just *unbelievable* that in the starting position Black is going to resign in two moves(!!) because her queen gets <TRAPPED> on her side of the board!!! |

| Aug-14-14 | | Christoforus Polacco: I've found this interesting and very nice game in the russian book about king's gambit : Yurtaev - Chernov, Frunze 1975
1,e4 e5 2.f4 ef 3.Nf3 Be7 4.Bc4 Nf6 5.e5 Ng4 6.O-O d5 7.ed B:d6 8.Re1+ Kf8 9.d4 Nc6 10.Nc3 Bf5 11.Ne4 B:e4 12.R:e4 Qf6 13.Qd3 Rd8 14.Bd2 g5 15.Rae1 Rg8 16.Re6! Qg7 17.Bc3 fe 18.R:e6 Ne7 19.h3 Ne5 20.de Bc5+ 21.Bd4 Ke8 22.B:c5 R:d3 23.cd Kd8 24.R:e7 Qg5 25.Nd4 with winning position for white |

| Apr-03-20 | | lonchaney: Don't miss his beauty performance against Mike Tal Yurtaev vs Tal, 1979 |
|
| Jan-15-21 | | tessathedog: Thanks Ionchaney. I've found another one (this guy could really play). His game with Sveshnikov in 1990, ending in a draw (Informant 50 #370). On several occasions in the one game, really profound tactical ideas (one really needs Sveshnikov's notes handy to appreciate the play fully). I found myself thinking "that's the way I would LIKE to play, if I possibly could". |
