Edwin Meyer: Thank you <Joshka>! That's some mighty interesting stuff.

| | May-04-08 Old Benoni (A43)
| |
|
Edwin Meyer: <WannaBe> You shouldn't let those database percentages fool you as 1.d4 c5 often transposes into other openings such as the Benko or Modern Benoni which makes the overall percentage turn out more like this; <With 17914 games played in MB2007 1-0 =39%
1/2-1/2 =27%
...

Edwin Meyer: <LIFE Master AJ>
You say <# 3.) Play over COMPLETE master-level games. (In this way, you learn all the phases of the game ... opening, middlegame AND endgame.)> How do you feel about this being done using the guess-the-move approach?

| | Apr-17-08 Nimzovich-Larsen Attack (A01)
| |
|
Edwin Meyer: However <TheBB>, if you keep thinking of 2.b3 vs the Sicilian, you should look up Tamaz Gelashvili on chessgames. He's probably the number one expert on that line. With very good results too!

| | Apr-17-08 Dusan Popovic

|
Edwin Meyer: Maybe if we all donated some there will!

| | Mar-19-08 Sicilian, O'Kelly Variation (B28)
| |
|
Edwin Meyer: That would be; Sicilian defense: O'Kelly Variation by W. John Lutes.

Edwin Meyer: If i'm right, this guy just made it IM at age 58.

Edwin Meyer: There can be only one. And it was you Bobby. Farewell.

| | Aug-20-07 Benko Gambit (A57)
| |
|
Edwin Meyer: Statistics aren't that bad for Black when you take a look at them in ChessBase's MegaBase 2007; 1-0 9373 =39% total:52%
1/2-1/2 6450 =27%
0-1 8281 =34% total:48%
So by all means, play the Benko if that's what you like ;-)
