  perfidious: Stunning observation, that, the more so as one rather doubts Liberzon was then rated 2550.

  perfidious: The wait for nearly intelligent commentary on this game continues: now the lap dogs <fredthebore> and <ostensibly superior being> follow each other to offer aid and comfort.

Jul-18-22  stone free or die: Early <Zappa XP> comment caught my eye:

<You can't stop the future You can't rewind the past
The only way to learn the secret
...is to press play.>

Gelfand vs Anand, 2012 (kibitz #45)

  fredthebear: We rewind in chess all the time. We learn by watching, following others, not pressing play. You statement was malformed then, and still malformed. It had nothing to do with Gelfand and Anand, just word trash you left behind, as usual.
Jul-18-22  stone free or die: <Fred>, again, you're out of your league. You really should abandon your career as serial stalker here on <CG>.

You're just exposing your worst features for all to see.

Let's consider the above, where you think you're attacking me - but you're wrong (as usual). The quote comes from <Zappa XP>

<You can't stop the future
You can't rewind the past
The only way to learn the secret
...is to press play.>

Gelfand vs Anand, 2012 (kibitz #45)

I just thought it worth quoting - it's pithy and not repetitious (unlike many of your posts). I disagree with your malformed (mis-)characterization.

As to what it has to do with Gelfand and Anand, well, you'd have to ask <Zappa XP>.

  fredthebear: You're not clever whatsoever Z XP or die. You're perfidy's lovin' lap dog fighting his battles for him because you don't have anything else worth doing in your life.

Your quote sucks. Nobody was impressed in 2012, and nobody is impressed today. You're just a fake Z troll, a fraud, a trash poster.

Jul-19-22  Muttley101: Just eating popcorn and watching people arguing over a 7 move game by two people in the mid 1900s.

Anyway, typical perfidy.

Just joining in.

Jul-19-22  stone free or die: It is a bit of wonder, these elite level discussions on <CG>.
Jul-19-22  Messiah: posting <typical perfidy> over and over is typical perfidy.
Jul-19-22  stone free or die: Somebody give <messiah>'s head another tap, he's stuck on replay again!

  fredthebear: If Black tries 7...Nh6 to protect the f7-square, 8.BxNh6 removes the defender and Black should 8...0-0 dropping a piece for king safety instead of recapturing 8...gxBh6? 9.Qxf7+ Kd7 starts a king hunt. See resulting diagram after the capture sequence:

Black is not eager to leave his king on the same open file with his queen. Yet, there appears to be no immediate checkmate lurking. White must spend a tempo to be able to bring a rook over to the d-file.

  fredthebear: In fact, there are no games in the database where Black played 7...Nh6.
Jul-20-22  stone free or die: <In fact, there are no games in the database where Black played 7...Nh6.>

Yeah, so why not discuss the play after 7...g6, an obviously better try than 7...Nh6 ... ?

  perfidious: <zed> re your suggestion: it was more'n a bit surprising to see a top player go in for this whole mess with 5....Nxe5, though eventually coming to grief after 7....g6: G Puiggros vs Najdorf, 1944.

Rough day at the office.

Jul-21-22  stone free or die: <perf> Hadn't seen that Najdorf game before, but the very first comment seems apropos:

<Apr-15-06 FICSwoodpusher: Why would anyone play this variation?>

Here's another Najdorf loss, mentioned in the comments, playing the Philidor:

J Grefe vs Najdorf, 1976

Got me a bit curious, here's Najdorf's C41 record on <CG>:

https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che...

He's +4 -5 =4

His last Philidor, against Ivanovic

B Ivanovic vs Najdorf, 1982

(Should have been a draw before 40.Qxb7)

  fredthebear: Oh Curious Z free or die, what are the four best known C41 games?

  fredthebear: It was a very easy question -- for a typical tournament chess player, a student of the game. Just look at the famous games below!!

After trolling ol' FTB minute-to-minute, hour-by-hour and day-to-day with needless snotty comments all week long making instant trash posts attempting to ruin the chess pages, the researcher Z could not provide an answer to the above question.

It just so happens these C41s are some of the most famous games in all the history of chess, quite often quoted in beginner's books and collections of traps. Yet Curious Z could not cough up these games that any serious player would recognize instantly. Z on the spot suddenly went silent, no response. It would have taken 1-2 minutes to post a response and show up ol' FTB. Z failed big time.

Fake Z troll proves once again that it does not know chess. Z is not who it pretends to be.

01) The Opera House Game w/a Q sacrifice: Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858

02) Q sacrifice for Legall's Mate: De Legal vs Saint Brie, 1750

03) Q sacrifice for Boden's Mate w/the two Bs: R Schulder vs S Boden, 1853

04) Pedestal / Gueridon Mate: Polo vs Pasqualini, 1923

05P) Philidor's Q Trap: Philidor vs NN, 1790

05L) Another version of Philidor's Q Trap: P S Leonhardt vs NN, 1912

05K) History repeats Philidor's Q Trap: Krogius vs N Aratovsky, 1945

06) Six queen offers IN A ROW!
E Z Adams vs Torre, 1920

07) Morphy Stuns w/the Black pieces: Bird vs Morphy, 1858

08) The Wayward Queen: Rodzynski vs Alekhine, 1913

Loud & proud Z forgot its curiosity, missed its big chance to set a PR w/TWO chess posts on the same chess page. Instead, Z deliberately avoided an easy chess question that any faithful student of the game could answer without hesitation. As demonstrated, there was a plethora of choice answers, but fake Z could not deliver.

Management should permanently ban the fake Z troll and all its sock puppet accounts. Stop this nuisance once and for all.
