BEER
Germany

[what is this?]
Beer is believed to be over 10,000 years old. Although no one knows its exact origins, some agricultural historians believe that the first beer may have been produced accidentally when a stash of grain was soaked by rain and then warmed by the sun. If this mixture were spontaneously fermented by wild, airborne yeast—which thrives in just these warm, moist conditions—beer would have been produced (Encarta).

Fermented beverages have been preferred over water throughout the ages: they are safer, provide psychotropic effects, and are more nutritious. Some have even said alcohol was the primary agent for the development of Western civilization, since more healthy individuals (even if inebriated much of the time) lived longer and had greater reproductive success.

I wish that my opponents clock didn't run out in this game!

After 47.Qd5 if he replied 48.Rc1 Be6 49.Kb4 Rxf2 50.Qc3 Rhh2 51.Rb1 Rc2 52.Qb3 Rc4+ 53.Ka3 Rc3 54.Qxc3 Qa2+ 55.Kb4 Qxb1+ 56.Qb2 Rxb2+ 57.Ka3 Qa2 mates

Or faster would have been:

47.Qd5 he replies 48.Rb1 Be6 49.Kb4 Rxf2 50.Qc3 Rhh2 51.Qb3 Rf1 52.Qxd5 Rxb1+ 53.Kc3 cxd5 54.c6 Rbb2 55.cxb7 Rhc2+ mates.

&:

47.Qd5 and say he replies 48.Rf1 Be6 49.Kb4 Rhh2 50.Rb1 Rxf2 51.Qb3 Rf1 52.Qxd5 Rxb1+ 53.Kc3 cxd5 54.c6 Rbb2 55.cxb7 Rhc2 mates

May-14-06  Pepsi9a: <Nice game! You won't see 1. g4 often, and you really won't see 2. f3?! ever. Consider the immediate 3 ... Qh4+ forcing 4. Ke2>

Tpstar Thanks!

Your right :( I should have checked but I resisted that because I thought it would better to bring out my pieces first then go after him in a coordinated way with my stuff.... stickler for chess principles.

<Try annotating your own games (wins and losses) to improve. =)>

I'll work on that I've been dividing my time replaying games from books, doing the problems on the tactics server and the on trainingbot on ICC and playing games.

May-15-06  samikd: Hey, <chessgames.com> and beer drinkers...is there a 'game of the day archive' maintained in this site ? I saw this Fischer 'game of the day' last week or sometime, where he beat a simul player with his pet Bc4 Fischer-Sozin attack. I can't find it any more. Can someone link me to the game ? thanks..

30.Rg4 Rxf7 just prolongs the inevitable there was nothing else he could do to stop the mate attack coming.

  tpstar: <Pepsi9a> Nice game! The King's Gambit Declined with 2 ... d6 often transposes to the Vienna Game, favorable for White. After 4 ... Bd7 look at 5. d4 gaining control of the center, then trading KB & KN for QB & QN and White has a huge lead in space and development. See how the game continuation with 7. d4 d5 8. e5 Bb4 served to close the center and Black nearly equalized. Instead of 11. Ne2 trading Bishops, another plan would be 11. a3 Ba5 (11 ... Bxc3 12. Bxc3 and White has the Two Bishops) 12. b4 Bb6 13. Bxf4 followed by Qd3 & Ng5 exploiting Black's undefended Kingside. Note 15 ... f6? 16. Ne6 wins the exchange, but you did well with the passed Pawn. 21. g4 & 22. g5 was an excellent plan opening lines for your Knights. But after 28. Rg1 Kh7 29. Rg3 is quicker (threat 30. Rh3+ Kg8 31. Rh8#) and this also prevents ... Bd3 trying to defend g6, so 29 ... g5 30. Rexg5 or 29 ... Kg8 30. Rxg6 Bd3 31. Rh5! forces 31 ... Rxf7+ 32. fxg7+ Kxg7 33. Rg3 with a won endgame. Also faster is 33. Rxg7 Rf8/Bd7 34. Rg8 with a mate threat, yet you closed it out just fine. =)
May-21-06  schnarre: <tpstar> Good notes mate! In the afore-mentioned Latvian mini-tournament I pulled into the lead with a score of 15 wins to 1 loss, out of 16 games: even though the tourney is 83% finished that concludes my games anyway. Definitely an occasion for a good BEER!!

  technical draw: Good game, <dakgootje>, but what does that have to do with beer? Did you have a few after or before the game?

  jamesmaskell: I passed 2000 posts earlier today...a beer for me! And coz Im generous, Runemaster can have one too. Ill take responsibility for the young kibitzers comments on this page. Hes on his own in the wider world of ChessGames.com though...

  dakgootje: < technical draw> some before, couple of them during and lots of them after the game ;-)

dont know why i posted it here... maybe because it was at the same time my 1250th post or something ;-)

Nah dunno, but found it a good place =)

  YouRang: Hello <dakgootje>. I was going to have a look at your game, but I ran into a problem. Black's first 3 moves are knight moves, as follows:

1. Ng8 -> f6 (that's okay)
2. Nf6 -> d5 (that is okay too)
3. Nd5 -> g4 (it's not okay to jump over the e and f files in a single bound)

Unless of course, it's SUPERKNIGHT! ;-)

May-24-06

  dakgootje: sorry, that has to be f4 (else it couldnt go to g6 either ;-)

Tried to paste the position here right out of fritz, but then he also copies the ammount of time spent thinking, so the whole lot becomes terrible confusing, so i had to type it myself... Hope its the only wrong move youll meet ;-)

  YouRang: <Hope its the only wrong move youll meet ;-)>

Well.... :-)

I figured it should have been Nf4, so I tried to fix it. But then I ran into other problems. For instance, Black's 14th move (...Nc6) is ambiguous, since both knights can go there. A move or two later, White had another ambiguous knight move.

I tried guessing which moves were correct, but then ran into some other impossible knight moves.

At last, I decided to punt. :-)

I'm not familiar with Fritz. Is there no option to copy PGN from Fritz without the think times? If nothing else, can you paste your PGN into Fritz, and have it tell you where the invalid moves are?

Let me know if you ever re-post with corrected PGN. Or, just post the FEN position at around move 62. :-)
