| Apr-22-09 | | ROO.BOOKAROO: Keene gives himself a deserved pat in the back for his key move 26 ... Rxf2, winning a critical pawn in White's defense. |

| Jun-27-11 | | rich187113: Not very nice notes |
|
| Apr-14-14 | | davide2013: At the cost of looking like the child who cried: the king is naked. But where are Keene's notes??? |

 | | Domdaniel: <davide2013> See the '!' after black's 24th and 26th moves? They count as notes, seemingly. Perhaps they shouldn't. |
|
| May-03-18 | | Caissanist: I suspect that Ray had some real annotations in here before, then took them out in response to rich's comments. |

 | | ray keene: I did not remove the notes which I wrote. It must have been an editorial decision. |

| Jul-20-21 | | Z4all: Might be due to the recent <CG> upgrade?! It's still available in Google's cache:
<1.g4 Notes by Raymond Keene. I have never been quite sure whether this is the worst opening move or whether that dubious title belongs to 1 f3. At least after 1 f3 d5 White can play 2 f4, or after 1 f3 e5 2 e4 Bc5 3 f4!?, but 1 g4 gives no such opportunity. One of the best ways to manhandle this miserable move is to play a sharp gambit against it.1...d52.h3e53.Bg2c64.d4e45.c4Bd66.Nc3Ne7! A powerful gambit, which casts doubt on White?s whole opening.7.g5In his book The Killer Grob, Basman recommends instead accepting the gambit with 7 Qb3 O-O 8 Bg5 f6 9 cxd5 cxd5 10 Nxd5 Be6 11 Nxe7+ Qxe7 12 d5, but then 12...Bf7 13 Be3 Na6 or 13...Nd7 leaves White virtually lost, since he will automatically lose the pawn on d5 and he cannot meanwhile develop his kingside.7...Be68.h4Nf59.Bh3Not 9 e3 Nxh4 10 Rxh4 Qxg5 winning.9...O-O10.cxd5cxd511.Nxd5Or 11 Bxf5 Bxf5 12 Nxd5 Qa5+ 13 Nc3 Nc6 with a decisive lead in development.11...Ng3Basman completely overlooked this.

|
| Sep-27-23 | | Cecco: <Z4all>, those notes are related to the game Basman vs Keene of 1981. |

| Sep-27-23 | | goodevans: So Ray Keene's annotations remain but his notes all disappeared about a decade ago. Well, not quite "all" as his final note <White resigned> still remains. At least we know he didn't lose on time then. I wonder if Keene's notes will ever resurface. Maybe not if <rich187113: Not very nice notes> explains a deliberate censoring but it would be interesting to see why Keene gave <15.Rfc1> a <?>. I think the <!> for <26...Rxf2> was a bit generous (maybe a <?> for <26.Rf1> instead) but I can't argue with the <!> for <30...c4>. However White responds it seems Black emerges with an easily won endgame. Nice game. Not so sure about the pun. |
