  IMlday: Yeah, I like openings that look way worse than they are. The early h2-h4 is timed so Black doesn't have time to play ..Bg7 and support p/g5 by ..h7-h6 and thereby defend his extra pawn at f4 with a pawn.

The downside is the time-consuming Ng1-f3-g1, but then the Black f4 pawn is very hard (and/or impossible) to defend; pawn defence has been removed from the equation; and as it goes in the game Black simply has a horrible position with no central control from pawns and a grotesque backward pawn on the weak weak f-file.

Therefore Black usually plays 7..Qf6.
(which has a lot of theory now).

Aside from this Active (30-minute) game against Glen Johnstone, the only other time that I remember the move 7..Nf6?! was as played by IM Igor Ivanov in a quick game on a rolly ferry going to the Grand Manan Island tourney circa 1985. Aside from a chess set, the ferry bar had Moosehead beer. The boat was rolling about 3-5 degrees left and right. Ivanov played 8..Nh5?? losing instantly to the fork 9.Qb5+ picking up the ambitious Knight. So I got a free (and unnecessary) New Brunswick beer. 8..Nc6 improves, but Black's case seems, to me, lost anyway.

These are really, really hard variations to understand; so young players shouldn't get discouraged when complications abound.

Yes, it is complex, but in chess,
logic always prevails.. always!

Jun-25-04  refutor: mr. day, i may be moving to toronto in the near future...do you have any students? and would you be possibly interested in one? ;)

Aug-15-04  patzer2: IMlday, just curious, why did you chose 15 exd5 over 15. Bxe7 ?

  IMlday: Winning with a Q against 2 Knights may be more difficult than simply being a Bishop up and with his King exposed..a matter of taste.
Aug-15-04  mack: <(just joking lawrence if you ever read this)>

Bet neither of us ever expected that, eh, refutor?

Nov-04-05  aw1988: <Yeah, I like openings that look way worse than they are.>

And when your assumption is correct?!

Nov-04-05  Koster: the king's gambit is a great surprise weapon against a player expecting the Ruy. I lost a bad game once on the white side of this variation however and gave it up against prepared opponents. According to Finegold white doesn't get enough for the pawn after 7...Qf6.

  IMlday: Does Finegold give any variations?
May-19-07  Helios727: So this is how you play against the "Fischer Defense" to the KG.
