| |
|
bettermove: I am continuing my investigation of the Schmid Benoni variation.
This game is included in 'Starting out Benoni systems' by Raetsky & Chetverik as a Schmid Benoni illustrative game.
Yet chessgames here call/classify it as a Benoni Kingside move order!
-This naming is still ...

| |
|
bettermove: Hi all
I am trying to figure out the Benoni variations..
I thought Old Benoni is 1.d4 c5 (2.dxc)
but what is the Schmid Benoni?
I think it is 1.d4 c5 2.d5 d6 3.Nc3 g6
So this game isn't a Schmid Benoni (actually an Old Benoni as described!)?
I must investigate this ...

| |
|
bettermove: Phew -that was quite a hectic Scotch (some Scotch games are calmer and can go on over 50 moves or so).Rublevsky seems to be a bit of a Scotch specialist (eg see Rubleskvy vs Vajda 2004)

| | Sep-22-07 Ni Hua vs E Inarkiev, 2007
| |
|
bettermove: Ni Hua is rolling along nicely with this variation of the Scotch as he disposed of J Rowson also with a similar Scotch game.

bettermove: Weird game?! What a fascinating style Petrosian played this with.Err... how did he play like this? His chess playing style should come with a health warning...quite extraordinary!

bettermove: What an interesting game!
With debate about the opening classification and the battle of 2 young would be chesskings.Great fun with a great finish (no boring draw here!).Well played both sides for this entertaining instructive game.

bettermove: What is going on with this game:
Gagunashvili-Pert, draw after 3 moves!??
This is poor IMHO- was there a valid reason for this? Otherwise top class chess is up for ridicule if short agreed draws materialize like this!
Whatever the reason perhaps in a top competition the rules ...
