  Honza Cervenka: Wow! Gajewski with black sacced the piece in game with Zakhartsov and has 1h 55mins against 1h 11mins of his opponent. It looks like prepared stuff and so it can work. Is he going to have 6 points after six rounds in Pardubice? See the game on-line http://www.czechopen.net/live-games...

  notyetagm: What is the <Gajewski Gambit> line of the Ruy Lopez?

Thanks

Nov-24-08  slomarko: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 0-0 9.h3 Na5 10.Bc2

in this standard position it was always played 10...c5 of course. however in 2007 in the game against Kuznetsov Gajewski came to the idea to play the Marshall style 10...d5!?


click for larger view

the idea was soon picked by other players like Wojtaszek, Carlsen and Fressinet.

Nov-24-08  slomarko: the new move won the chessbase award for the novelty of the year. oh and the original game was a real beauty: V Kuznetsov vs G Gajewski, 2007

Thanks.

By any chance do you have a link to the chessbase article announcing Gajewski's move as the novelty of the year?

And do you know how it did in the Chess Informant competition for Best Novelty?

If Carlsen played it, then it *has* to be good. :-)

Nov-24-08  slomarko: sorry notyetagm i don' thave that info. i read in a polish forum that the russian chess magazine "64" also had an article about this gambit:

  Caissanist: Winner of the 2011 Capelle La Grande tournament: http://cappelle-chess.fr/fr2/defaul....
Mar-07-11  Kazzak: Hmmm. Have played through Mr. Gajewski's games. Inventive play and strong. It appears he's gone through an evolution in his development as a player.

This year's La Capelle had a formidable field, and two dosen players were in contention for the top spot, which Gajewski decided with half a point's margin. His La Capelle games are worth studying. Pgn at official site.

Mar-08-11  Penguincw: Congratulations to Grzegorz Gajewski for his wonderful performance at the 27th Cappelle-la-Grande (2011).
Mar-09-11  pulsar: Congratulations to GM Grzegorz Gajewski for his recent tournament win!

IM Sabelo Brunello has covered the Gajewski Gambit in the Spanish on his book "Attacking the Spanish". Here's one useful review: http://www.thechessmind.net/blog/20....

Apr-21-11  wordfunph: <7.0 points from nine rounds, leaving the nearest opposition full point behind.>

congrats!
