P/L/C Black Highlights Compiled by GumboG & CM
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

This collection was compiled by GumboGambit. Chessmaster contributed 16 Lion games as well. Thank you GumboGambit and Chessmaster! Regrouping has taken place.

Victories by Black playing Pirc versions (1.d6 2. Nf6). These would include Mainline/Modern (g6, Bg7), Lion (e5, Nd7), and Czech (c6), variations.

For the most part, the opposition is either GM-level or similar skill level to that of Black. Fischer, Karpov and Kasparov are among the victims. This is to show that the system can work even against strong competition.

* Black ...d6 Resources: Game Collection: 1...d6. A very interesting opening with no name

M.Hassan: <Eggman>: Scarborough Chess Club which is said to be the biggest chess club in Canada, arranges tournaments under the name of "Howard Rideout" tournaments. Is he the same Rideout that you are mentioning?. I only know that this is to commemorate "Rideout" who has been a player and probably in that club because the club is over 40 years old. This tournament is repeated year after year and at the beginning of the season when the club resumes activity after summer recession in September. Zxp

PeterB: Eggman and Mr. Hassan - you are right, Howard Ridout was a long time member of the Scarborough Chess Club! He was very active even when I joined in 1969, and was still organizing tournaments at the time of his death in the 1990s. This game is a good memorial to him! Theodorovitch was a Toronto master rated about 2250 back then, perhaps about 2350 nowadays.

The Lion and the Rat

To show to all your kindness, it behoves:
There's none so small but you his aid may need.
I quote two fables for this weighty creed,
Which either of them fully proves.
From underneath the sward
A rat, quite off his guard,
Popped out between a lion's paws.
The beast of royal bearing
Showed what a lion was
The creature's life by sparing –
A kindness well repaid;
For, little as you would have thought
His majesty would ever need his aid,
It proved full soon
A precious boon.
Forth issuing from his forest glen,
T" explore the haunts of men,
In lion net his majesty was caught,
From which his strength and rage
Served not to disengage.
The rat ran up, with grateful glee,
Gnawed off a rope, and set him free.

By time and toil we sever
What strength and rage could never.

fredthebear: Spawn of Satan explains being a "Hijacker" in his personal forum. It's a "personality type" that he believes in: <hideous: Five different personality types: <When you meet a person for the first time, you are seeing them at their best selves. So when I find someone hard to get along with or who displays behavior I can't explain, I stay far away.> Yeah, right. Sure p^^^i stays far, far away. All hideous wants to know is who they voted for. After that answer, it's all settled forever -- admiration or hated.

pervid is afraid and doesn't allow me to post this in his personal forum. Guess I voted for the wrong woman.
