  Richard Taylor: Hi Benzol and Jonathan.

That was the first year I played in a Club again (for some years) - about 2004 - I didn't really handle the French very well in that game.

  Richard Taylor: I was 2005 - here is how our friend Senor GM Plaskett* (friend through GM Conquest) handled the same opening - he was White ; Instructive game.

Plaskett vs G Lee, 1978

i.e Senor "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" Plaskett! BTW when he answered those questions he was as canny and careful and ingenious as a GM! And he picked up a quite a tidy sum.

  Richard Taylor: Here, in the same opening the immortal Whitehouse demolishes my redoubtable friend Glenn Turner!

T H Stonehouse vs G M Turner, 1976

Here is Rubinstein playing the same - in fact his OWN opening var. Wolf seems to me to follow a similarly passive plan as I did - and Rubinstein refused draw which would have won the tournament then missed a forceful winning combination!! (Most alert club level players would have seen it).

He drew and won the tournament as it was in any case...

H Wolf vs Rubinstein, 1907

Of course, during his career, Rubinstein played some of the most beautiful and clever combinations ever played.

  Richard Taylor: Here I think 12 dxc5 is better if the Bxc5 13 Qe2 and both players have open lines for their Bs but Black as to be careful of a potential Bxh7+ and White will soon play Rd1. The position is about = I would say.

  Richard Taylor: 14 Be5 looks wrong - better maybe 14 Kh1 Bxd4 15 cxd4 Rfd8 16 Be5
