Sep-25-07		candide1500: wow no kibitzing or further information on this early chess theorist?? hmmm interesting that he worked with nimzo, i have never come across the name in any of his writings....

Sep-25-07		whiteshark: Here is another <Krause> move: <1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.a4 Bf5 <6.Nh4!?>> (Former world champion Alexander Alekhine gave credit for this knight move to <Orla Hermann Krause>, a Danish analyst who found many new ideas in the Slav defense in the 1920s. White wastes time to eliminate the ominous black's queen bishop at all costs. The leading alternative today is 6.Ne5.) <6...Bg4> (In the game Alekhine-Stolz, Bled 1931, black played 6...e6, which Alekhine considered natural and good. He wrote: "White will enjoy a pair of bishops [after 7.Nxf5 exf5 8.e3], but as long as black is able to control the central squares he should not have much to fear." Most common is the retreat 6...Bc8. Alekhine advocated 7.e3 e5 8.Bxc4 exd4 9.exd4 "with slightly better prospects for white." Garry Kasparov picked up this line almost 60 years later but without much success. More interesting is the piece sacrifice 7.e4 e5 8.Bxc4 exd4 9.Nf3!?, for example 9...dxc3 10.Bxf7+ Ke7 11.Qb3 with messy prospects.) .... Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/w...

Aug-22-08		myschkin: . . . His name is attached to the <Krause Variation> in the Queen's Pawn Opening (1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 c5!?). He analysed it for the Austrian chess magazine "Wiener Schachzeitung" in 1929. It is essentially a Queen's Gambit Reversed, with Black a tempo behind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orla_H...
