  tpstar: <PaulLovric> A KNIGHT'S TALE

Once upon a time, there was a pleasant chess paradise on the Internet. The happy local yokels lived together in peace and harmony, save the occasional duel or cockfight. Then one fateful day in Summer 2004, a young Knight arrived on the scene, wreaking havoc everywhere he went. First, he littered the site with dozens of useless entries like "good game" and "White wins" etc. ad infinitum. Second, he maintained this annoying talent for asking a question, then talking back to whomever answered his question ("I do what I want"). Third, he kept posting blatantly plagiarized analysis under his Knighthood, then later he kept posting blatantly plagiarized text under his Knighthood, even after being warned several times over. Fourth, he dominated a live event (200 posts out of 800 total) mostly with silly contradictions like "Nakamura wins!" followed by "Nakamura loses!" etc. ad infinitum. This Knight quickly got on everyone's nerves and even more quickly got on everyone's ignore lists, except for our more sensible users who keep him on manual ignore. At one point, with nobody in sight answering him, the Knight created multiple alternate identities just to interact with himself on various pages. (I am not making this up.) In due time, after months of hints, pressure, and lecturing, he is finally maturing, yet his old bad habits persist (like computer analysis falsely given as "brain power"). Worst of all, since these posts are permanent, this Knight's trail of devastation remains, which shall be his everlasting legacy.

Afer this many months, and despite allegedly being a teacher and/or an adult, you must be trying to annoy people. We could use less of that around here, not more. Please stop. Thank you.

For some rerason when you try to display the VIEW of this game, the game score goes all the way to the right margin and is, therefore "unprintable".

I have done this and posted it here. I had to take a copy to Ancr---he loves multiple-Queen games.

Aug-15-05  ajile: 21..g4 by Black followed by h4 gives up any chance for Black to open up White's K-side and take advantage of his rooks and other pieces aimed at White's king. Instead Black then pushes the pawns in front of his own king after this with a5 and b4. This strategy makes no sense.

???

Aug-15-05  ajile: Also 24..a4 by Black (instead of b4) totally locks up the Q-side. Then Black can take his time building up his forces for a K-Side breakthrough.

  tpstar: <PaulLovric> I'm glad I got your attention. And here it is, right before midnight. You were going to do it again, weren't you?!

If you have something to say about a game, then say it. Bragging about posting "First" on any page is stupid and senseless. If that's how you want to be known, then that's how you want to be known.

Black is going to lose his last pawn on the queenside. Thereafter white's ♕b3+♖e1+♖f2+♗g2 should conclude the proceedings easily.

  GrahamClayton: <kevin86>I really enjoy multi-queen games;their only problems seem to be that the board gets CROWDED very soon with that much heavy artillary out there. Also,there of course is the necessity for pushing pawns at the expense of piece movement.

<kevin86>,
I enjoy playing through multi-queen games - not sure if I would actually enjoy playing the game!

Along with the "crowding" of the board, if I was playing I would tend to concentrate on the two queens at the expense of the other pieces on the board.

Aug-14-10  Garech: There is no doubt that this is a remarkable game and also no surprise there were many blunders, given the fact that it was so complicated. Fritz didn't like the double pawn sac to open lines, and while it looked fancy it wasn't especially effective, IMHO. Instead of 30.Nxd5, Bxd5 was much stronger for white. 34.Qe4 was an outright blunder, far stronger was the unnatural looking Rf4! (threatening Rxc4) and white has a big advantage, e.g. ...Qe7 35.Rxc4 Nxc4 36.Qxc4 and it's all over. 36.Re3 was also bad and lost white the edge in the position. Again according to Fritz Qb1! was the correct move. 37.Rd2 was yet another bad move, much better was Rf1 although black is still stronger. However, black blundered at move 37 too! If he had played Rxd2 (although it looks very scary) instead of fxe6?? then he was better, e.g. Qxc6+ Ka6 38. Qb7+ Ka5 and white's attack runs out of steam whilst black is the exchange and a pawn up with a stronger position to boot. 42. Bf1! deserves an exclamation mark because it was the only move to save the position, despite black having two queens on the board. 47.Qbb2 was inaccurate but incredibly white is better in any case, even with best play which Fritz says was Qxe1. After that both sides played without blundering but there were some further inaccuracies. Instead of 55.Qh5+ white had Qb7! Although by that point he has a completely winning position and then of course there are several paths to victoy. Very deep and interesting game anyway!
