|
Alaric: What a blunder was Rxc2?? but black's position was probably lost anyway

|
| | Apr-11-05 Adams vs Gelfand, 1988
| |
|
Alaric: wow! 19...Nxb2!! is fabulous. After 20.Kxb2? Ba3+!! 21.Kxa3 (not Kb1(a1) Qc3) Qc3+! 22.Nb3 a4!, white is surely finished. Why did Adams play so badly after Nxb2. Could he have lost hope?

| | Mar-26-05 Fischer vs R Steinmeyer, 1963
| |
|
Alaric: 13...Qf4+?, 14...Nc5?, 16 Ne5!! 17 Rdf1! and then after 17...Qxg3, 18 Rxf2 black has to deal with the threats of Rf3 and Nxf7

| |
|
Alaric: I think it was Sozin who created it, and Fischer who made it popular!

| | Jan-25-05 D Mussanti vs V Varadi, 2001
| |
|
Alaric: the correct move is 10 fxe6!
|
|
| | Jan-15-05 Fischer vs Benko, 1959
| |
|
Alaric: notice how black can't play 18...f5?? because after 19 c3!! black would have to play 19...Qxc3 or else if the queen moves off the a1-h8 diagonal for instance 19...Qd7?? 20
Nh5 forces mate

Alaric: Thanks,it really helped me

| | Jan-09-05 Sicilian, Najdorf (B98)
| |
|
Alaric: I think black wants to prevent 9 Bc4! which gives white a lot of pieces to attack with

| | Jan-06-05 Smyslov vs Fischer, 1970
| |
|
Alaric: 13...Qf6! is a pawn sacrifice that lets black have much more compensation for it than he needed
