Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-30-08  jerseybob: A game which casts doubt on the whole 7..Qb6 line. The only 8th move I'd ever considered was 8.Na4,Qa5ch 9.c3,cd 10.b4 which won me a tournament game years ago so I never gave it another thought; but 8.Qd2! looks way better. Black doesn't seem to realize how bad off he is. The only out I can possibly see in place of 11..Na5?! is 11..Nxd4 12.Bxd4,Rb8!? 13.00 which looks rough I'll admit. As the actual game went, black's "threat" with 12..Bb4 was brutally brushed aside with 13.Rxb4! and it's basically all over. But if 12..Be7 13.f5 continues the attack. A lot of grief for just a pawn!
