Oct-10-09		Phony Benoni: Position after <49...g2>: click for larger view An interesting position. Mieses, in his book "Instructive Positions from Master Chess", gives the following win: <50.c8Q! f1Q 51.Qg4+ Kh8 52.Qh3+! Kg7 53.Rd7+ Rf7 54.Qg4+ Kh7 55.Qe4+ Kg7 56.b8Q g1Q 57.Qee5+ Qf6 58.Qxf6+ Kxf6 59.Qf4+>, winning the rook and the game. That's too complicated for me. You can have the fun of checking it.

Oct-11-09		ozmikey: Mieses should perhaps have explained why 52...Kg7, allowing the White rook in, is forced instead of 52...Kg8; in the latter case White wins quite simply by 53. Rxf1, but after 52...Kg7 there's the nasty trick 53. Rxf1 gxf1(Q) 54. Qxf1?? Rxf1 55. b8(Q) Rb1+. In any case, Mieses' variation looks pretty convincing to me!

Oct-14-11		Honza Cervenka: It is quite interesting that all this opening line including 11.f4(?) became very topical after Tarrasch vs K Walbrodt, 1894. It was played several times in 1894 Leipzig chess tournament and even Karl August Walbrodt used it as white there. Nobody noticed then that 11...Qa5 with very simple and very unpleasant threat d5-d4 leaves white in great troubles. Authority and example of "Praeceptor of Germany" was then too strong....:-D
