Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-13-06  Ulhumbrus: With 5 Nf3 the White KN has lost two tempi for development, while Black's c5 pawn has lost only one tempo for piece development in taking the d4 pawn.
Mar-13-06  Ulhumbrus: 7...h6 moves a pawn, not a concession to make lightly. Is Bg5 so much of a threat? It is possibly if Cramling does not want to play ...Be7 and wants her King's Bishop on c5.On 7..Bc5 8 Bg5 Be6 9 Nc3 Black can hardly avoid getting the f pawn doubled by Bxf6 unless she plays ...Be7.
Mar-13-06  Ulhumbrus: 8 b3 leaves the c2 pawn backward. It seems that playing 8 c4 opens the game when it is Black who is ahead in development, but it may be the right move all the same, for White has not yet moved the e pawn, so she has only had to move one pawn in order to develop her KB, and if her KN has lost time, so have Black's c5 and h6 pawns.
Mar-13-06  Ulhumbrus: The idea behind 10..e4 seems to be that on Na4, the White KN is not to be allowed to attack a pawn on e5 a second time (in addition to the B on b2)
Mar-13-06  Ulhumbrus: On an immediate ..e4 the N on f3 cannot go to d4, as White hasn't uncovered a defence upon d4 by Na4 yet.
Mar-13-06  Ulhumbrus: One conceivable justification for the attack 10 ...e4 is that Black has not just a slight advantage, but a strong advantage, and may let it slip if she does not attack at oonce.
Mar-13-06  Ulhumbrus: 14...h5 begins an attack from a position where Black seems to have a winning positional advantage.The attack is sound, then, as well as necessary.
Mar-13-06  Ulhumbrus: 19...Nxf2 offers a N. In return for this , the move 19...Nxf2 draws the R on f1 on to the square f2, a square which can be forked by the pawn move ...e3, as well as removing the f2 pawn which prevents the fork ...e3.
Mar-13-06  Ulhumbrus: On 30 Kh2 Rxh4+ al shah mat. The white Queen on g3 is pinned by the black Queen on e5 and so cannot recapture the black Rook on h4.
Mar-13-06  Georgie Dubb: Isn't "Farid" an exclusively masculine name ?
Mar-13-06  Catholic Bishop: frau farbissina tames fat bastard
