Jul-14-04  vonKrolock: <ray keene: "9...Bxc3? Premature. Correct is 9...h6!"> i'm speculating whith the possibility of 10.f4! even whithout the exchange in c3... what exactly the difference? - after p. ex. hg fg, i dont see nothing better than Bxc3... (recent com. in Goodman Nunn about a point move too)

  ray keene: the main difference is that the white qb is given access to a3 perhaps more quickly than black wd want.
Jul-15-04  vonKrolock: <ray keene> thanks, i see... a closer research demonstrates briefly: a) 9...h6 is almost forced, otherwise White`s plus is consolidated; b)10.Nf3 Bxc3 11.bc Ne4 12.Ba3! is good for White too (p. ex. Quinteros-Pereira, Tijuca, 1978); c)10.f4! hg 11.fg was played in Yusupov-Rastenis, Vilnius 1978 and after (c1) 11...Nh7 12.g6 Ng5 13.gf Nf7 14.Qh5! White had a plus;(c2) 11...Bxc3 will lead to Keene-Wockanfuss 1977 - aspointed in my previous kibitz (c3) 11...Ne8 probably is bad too, but (c4) 11...Ng4!? (found in Krolocksheimer Opening-Research Center) is perhaps the best for Black here
Dec-25-04  shr0pshire: What is the name of this gambit? Is it merely the Bellon Gambit?

Thanks.

Yes, it is. See Juan Manuel Bellon Lopez

  Jonathan Sarfati: Yes, the sac is not quite as convincing against an immediate 9... h6, but still hard to deal with, e.g. Yusupov vs G Rastenis, 1978
Apr-17-22  smoret: Get your engines ready. Not 12...Nh7 (the text move).

But ...Ng4 13.Qxg4 d5 with a double attack on the Bishop and Queen and an equal position after 14.Qg3 Bxc4.

<Reflections>

C'est interessant et meme necessaire de se demander qu'est-ce qu'on a dans une telle position pour en tirer un avantage, meme si on n'aime pas l'apparence. Ici, les blancs ont bien plus d'activite avec des colonnes ouvertes. Les blancs ont le controle du centre. Puis, n'oubliez pas qu'on a du refuser le gambit.

Pour mon part, le sacrifice est bien difficile a apercevoir. Il faudrait comprendre la faiblesse de f7 peut-etre. Alors, c'est impressionnant, M Keene... une certaine preparation qu'il a attribue a Michael Stean ! Bravo !
