Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-04-03  Shadout Mapes: This one's obvious because it's the only move that even has the slightest chance to win. 13...gxf6 14.Be4.
Nov-04-03  dorn: The problem is easy, still the mate has original aesthetic value.
Nov-04-03  AdrianP: The Bishop's opening: Philidor was convinced 2. Bc4 was the best move after 1. e4 e5, reasoning that by not playing 2. Nf3, you don't block the eventual advance f2-f4.

The most well-known modern proponent of the Bishop's Pawn opening is Bent Larsen.

Nov-04-03  myratingstinks: If you want to liberate your f pawn why not just play the Bird or if its the c pawn the English? Additionally, it seems to me that if you want to stop whites early control of the center you play 2 ... f5. If white wants to take the pawn he/she loses control of the center. If white doesnt take the pawn, you take it & still control the center. Any flaws in my analysis?
Nov-04-03  AdrianP: <myratingstinks> No flaws in your analysis that I can see... they're all good points. My view is that there's not much more point in saying that 2. Bc4 is a better move than 2. Nf3 than there is in saying the Sicilian's a better opening than the Dutch etc. Philidor, on the other hand, was a bit more dogmatic...
Mar-02-04  Catholic Bishop: Ah, one of those infamous Horowitz scores. Shallow, but effectively virtuosic.
Nov-08-09  gauer: Who'd've ever thought that there would be pieces other than the "leapers" could so often wreak total havoc against the ♙ shield of the safely castled ♔?
