Underworld: <eykca> If you check out the Opening of the Day it is the Dutch as well, though not the same exactly. Probably why it is GOTD.

| |
|
Underworld: Point is to try to push the king to the center after that, if not, then try for perpetual. I'm finally off shift now. I'M GOING TO BED!! GN all.

Underworld: <Sokrates> It's quite alright, time is time and business is business. You shouldn't be in a hurry with either.
It's quite understandable about the hardship it takes. It does take physical and mental strength and endurance. It takes a lot of that out of a player just to get

| | Apr-25-10 Gonzalez vs Perrine, 1943
| |
|
Underworld: Very fine game indeed. I don't think I would've seen Nxe4 OTB if I wasn't playing CC. Then again I'm not that strong of a player.
I really enjoy Perrine's play here of pushing white's king where he wants it and destroying everything along the way.

| |
|
Underworld: This is obviously a queen sacrifice here. Black couldn't say no to it. I looked at both Bxe6 and Bxg6. Bxg6 seems more proper since it takes away from black's defense of the king. I didn't get all the moves, but the first few are what count anyway.
Really nice game.

Underworld: These are some insane sacrifices. At first glance this is quite a complex and fun looking game.

| |
|
Underworld: This was a fun one for me. Taking with the rook was my favorite line and I fought back a little harder with white than Lopez did, and it is obvious that its just prolonging the death of the white king. The is no way for white to get out of the net once he is on the 3rd row.

| |
|
Underworld: Forgive me if I didn't see a post with this. Carlsen does have the potential and is up there with a lot of the big shots like Kramnik, but he didn't pull out the right page in this book. Reverting to the Botvinnik System was a TERRIBLE idea IMO. It is way too risky for him. I, of

| |
|
Underworld: Well putting the bishop there on b7 is a bad idea in a lot of cases unless you are shooting to mirror your opponent by doing a stonewall yourself. In many games I watch my opponents move to Bd7, then Be8 to stop certain attacks. Closing in this case is either a bad idea or hoping
