Jan-06-03 | | ughaibu: Here's a quick win against the open Lopez with Qe2 and Rd1. |
|
Jan-06-03 | | mj29479: black should have taken fxe6. |
|
Jan-06-03 | | ughaibu: I suppose he wanted to discourage the knight. |
|
Jan-06-03 | | pawntificator: yes, with the white knight on e5 things could become hopeless for black very quickly. |
|
Jan-07-03 | | Cyphelium: 18.- fxe6 19. Qxe6 and black has to meet the threat of Ne5 and Ng5. So 19.- Qc8 and then perhaps 20. Qc4 Qf5 21. Ng5 with the threat of 22. Ra5! Black might play 21.- a5 to parry this, but it doesn't look convincing. 22. Ra3 with the idea 23. Rf3 seems awkward for black. |
|
Sep-29-08 | | carpetshark: I'd like to draw your attention to a Boleslavsky-Karaklaic game (1957)where black placed his knight on c5 one move later making it possible for white to sacrifice his bishop: 11. BXd5. An interesting idea. |
|
Sep-29-08 | | ughaibu: This is the game: Boleslavsky vs Karaklajic, 1957 |
|
Sep-29-08 | | vwtaylorii: white could have played 6Re1 |
|
Sep-30-08 | | carpetshark: Yes, but that is a completely different variant. Black responds with Nc5 and after 7. Bxc6 dxc6 8.Nxe5 (8.Rxe5 Be7 9.Qe2 Ne6)Be7 9.c3 o-o 10.d4 Ne6 etc. According to Keres the opponents have equal chances. |

Sep-30-08 | | ughaibu: Um. . . . . |

Sep-30-08 | | Xeroxx: Here is a game between Boleslavsky and Karaklajic: Boleslavsky vs Karaklajic, 1957 |
|
Sep-30-08 | | ughaibu: Aaaaaaahh!!!!! |
|
Sep-30-08 | | whiteshark: <xerox> Are you somekind of me-diator or sumphing? :D |
|
Sep-30-08 | | ughaibu: I've put 'em both on ignore, that solved the problem. |
|
Sep-30-08 | | whiteshark: What a copycat. ROFL

 | | Sebastian88: What after this interesting variation?
17...Qe6 18.Rxa6 Qxc4 19.Rxa8+ Nc8 20.Rxc8+ Ke7 21.Rc7+ Ke6 22.Nd4+ Is this line correct? |
|
Dec-28-14 | | SpiritedReposte: The end position looks like a Karpov game. No immediate mate but black is stymied with zero chance. |
|
Mar-23-22 | | cehertan: Looks like Euwe got caught in a prepared variation with 12.c4! After 14.Qe4 he can try to hold the pawn with Qb7 but the engine shows white has more than compensation after 15.Nc3 Rd8 (not Nd8?? 16.Rxd8+) 16.Bg5. |
|
Mar-23-22 | | Olavi: <cehertan> Yes, Smyslov improved upon this from the previous round Keres vs Reshevsky, 1948 and Euwe had also played the Open variation, in this tournament as well as all his life. |

 | | Phony Benoni: An odd finish. Black castles, White plays h3 -- and Black resigns! |

 | | Honza Cervenka: <Phony Benoni: An odd finish. Black castles, White plays h3 -- and Black resigns!> Well, he could resign already after 18.e6. |
|
May-24-22
 | | Honza Cervenka: 14...Ne7 looks awful, 14...Nb4 is more natural. 15...c6 is clearly bad but 15...Bb3 16.Rd3 Be6 17.Nxb5 Rb8 18.Nc3 gives white clear advantage as well. |
