| Jul-12-04 | | Infohunter: I got the answer to today's puzzle right away, but I'll not credit that to any special prowess on my part. No, I was able to see the mate in two at once because the finish is very much like that seen in the game Teichmann vs NN, 1914, with colors reversed. As the French say, "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose." The foregoing comment notwithstanding, this is a delightful gamelet, just the same. |

| Jul-12-04 | | Calchexas: <acirce> Yeah. |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | patzer2: I suppose the most modern classification of the move 13...Qxb1+! is "deflection." However, I like Rhinefeld's description "removing the guard" to describe such moves. Technically, "removing the guard" is a subcategory of "deflection." In this case it comes by way of a "pseudo-sacrfice of the Queen" However, no matter how you describe it, 13...Qxb1+! is a pretty tactical shot and a very instructive move for those new to the study of Chess tactics. |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | patzer2: In the opening, I prefer 3. e4!? to the move played. Accepting the gambit pawn seems to give Black too much initiative and development in this apparently prepared variation. |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | patzer2: 4. c3?! seems dubious. Better perhaps is 4. g3 or 4. e4. |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | patzer2: An interesting opening alternative here is to play 2. e4!? Play might continue 2. e4!? exd4 3. c3 with White offering the gambit pawn and retaining the initiative. Might be tought to win against a computer, but against human competition it is a very dangerous gambit in the hands of a good tactician. |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | Dudley: <Cubs Fan> I have no idea which castle that is but it would be interesting to find out. There is probably some website that has pictures of famous castles. I chose it off of the standard avatar list. |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | Dudley: <Tenyson> You are absolutely right I will have to check The Art of Attack more often. First seen in McDonell-Boden 1869. |
|
| Jul-12-04 | | patzer2: Some examples of the play White might get after 1. d4 e5 2. e4!? exd4 3. c3 (the Danish or Scandinavian Gambit) are the wins for White in Yuchtman vs Tal, 1959 and Ma Voigt vs R Staak, 2001 and Bird vs Lasker, 1892 and J Mieses vs Marshall, 1903 and Stockholm Chess Club vs Tarrasch, 1913. Of course Black has good chances as theory as theory has caught up with White's plans in the Danish, as evidenced by the Black wins in Miles vs Nunn, 1970 and J Mondragon vs V Palclauskas, 1985 and A Rode vs K Pilgaard, 2003. Even so, I think transposition to a Danish with 2. e4!? is good psychology after 1. d4 e5!? as it forces the Black player hoping to play a gambit to either accept or decline White's dangerous Danish Gambit. |
|
| Jul-13-04 | | Dudley: The idea of transposing it into a Danish is interesting but rather unlikely as most 1.d4 players don't know the Danish, as the style of play is very different than what they are used to. Still, it's the last thing Black has in mind. |

| Jul-17-04 | | Lawrence: <Dudley> and <cu8sfan>, it's the Alcazar de Segovia, and it's one of the most fabulous castles in Spain. http://www.magicspain.com/castillos... |

| Aug-10-04 | | InspiredByMorphy: <patzer2> <4. c3?! seems dubious. Better perhaps is 4. g3 or 4. e4.> I agree completely. Although I win with this opening as black online here and then, unfortunately dont think its good enough for serious play. Black has no plan than but to develop as quickly as possible, but white can and should do so as well. If white dosen't play defensively, an advantage is attained due to being a pawn up, and not allowing blacks development to crush. There is clearly enoough potential for black after such a move as 4.c3? and 7.Bxf6? |
|
| Aug-19-04 | | InspiredByMorphy: White could have also played 3.Nf3 Does anybody have any thoughts on the strength of this move compared to 3.exd6 ? |

| Nov-17-10 | | Brandon plays: Haha, this is an awesome game. White is being a pawn grubber and black calmly kicks his #$#. |
|
| Nov-20-11 | | sevenseaman: Cutting the would-be guard down to size, "be a spectator, if you please". What a cool executioner! |
|
| Dec-26-11 | | vajeer: White may be able to retain material advantage by 12. Bd3 |

| Jun-26-12 | | stacase: Took a few seconds to see that the Bishop could say mate if it weren't for the Knight covering c3. So how to get rid of him? Oh Black has a Queen who can do the job and she's not needed for the mate. |

 | | gawain: Wow. It seems that after Black removes the knight by 13...Qxb1+ he will follow with 14...Bb4# Remarkable position. |
|
| Jun-26-12 | | Djoker: 13. ... Qxb1+
14 ... Bb4# |

| Jun-26-12 | | M.Hassan: "Easy" Black to play 13...?
Black is a Knight and 3 pawns down
13.............Bb4+
14.Nc3 forced Bxc3+
15.bxc3 forced Rb1+
<if 16.Rxb1 Qxb1+ 17.Kd2 Qd1#> 16.Kd2 Rb2+
17.Kc1 forced Qc2#
Time to check
-----------
I had gone a longer way! |
