Feb-03-06 Gelfand vs Ftacnik, 1989 
| |
|
BabyJ: 34...Ke7 35 Rf7+ Ke8 36 Rf4+! and
37 Rxh4 will keep attacking!
Note that it's probably this, and not
36 Rf6+ Ke7 37 Rxd6 hxg3+ and 38...Kxd6. Is this enough for White?
But Black could also have played
35...Kd8!, forcing 36 Bf6+ and 37 Bxh4, which is the clue that it would

| |
|
BabyJ: OK, I haven't found a single game
of Dlugy's against the Bogo-Indian
that I was looking for, so apparently
all those Bogo-games that he spotlighted in his C.L. column when
he wrote a column on the Bogo are
missing here. Let's find that
Gelfand game where he beat the ...

| | Jan-11-06 Dlugy vs J Bonin, 1984
| |
|
BabyJ: Against Bonin (the USA), Dlugy
plays one of the masterpieces of the
Royal Game! The position after 18 d5!
is almost comical. Black's knight is
now attacked (as it wasn't on the
previous move) and cannot move.

| | Jan-11-06 Dlugy vs Christiansen, 1984
| |
|
BabyJ: Dlugy's game against ChristmasPants
is interesting, in that after move 14
(Nc3) it is again like what COULD
have happened in Rubinstein-Boguljubow
(Sweden 1920 M. G. # 10) IF Rubinstein
had played d5! at move 6, and IF
we have a Black knight on f6 rather
than a Black ...

|
BabyJ: If 23 Qxc6?? Re1+! will rip off a rook!
Don't miss stuff like that!

|
| | Jan-11-06 Dlugy vs Kudrin, 1986
| |
|
BabyJ: What an amazing example of signature
Max Dlugy blasting!
Not since Nigel Short have we seen
strong players so humiliated at
the Chessboard!
We're talking HUM-il-i-A-shun!

| | Jan-11-06 Dlugy vs DeFirmian, 1989
| |
|
BabyJ: A professional hooverization of
the position into a draw by Defirmian.

|
BabyJ: Now this is fascinating.
For heaven's sake, what are the odds
that the very FIRST game I turn to
would be like the very first game
in my Bogo notebook - Rubinstein vs.
Boguljubow ?
In fact, this game would have been
IDENTICAL to the 10th match game
in ...

| | Jan-11-06 Speelman vs Short, 1988
| |
|
BabyJ: But is that true? This was written
way back AFTER I had looked at several
of MAX DLUGY'S games against the Bogo,
where he was blasting even when Black
used the modern move order and he
was forced to retake on d2.
HOWEVER, I may have MYSELF improved
with this 12...c6! ...

| | Jan-10-06 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1937
| |
|
BabyJ: Certainly a stunning game by Euwe.
It seems difficult for Euwe to be
led by the opponent. He's always
sticking to his own method of playing.
Maybe he's somewhat like Gligorich.
