Apr-09-24		offramp: <fredthebear: White's knight and pawn advances fail in this active game. Scotch, Schmidt variation 4.Nxd4 Nf6 C45 Sub-variants:....> etc etc etc. That was an interesting disquisition on the Scotch. I spotted an early TN in the Scotch: Gandalf vs XINIX, 2001 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Qh4 5.Nb5... click for larger view The computer discovered 5....Kd8.

Apr-09-24		Teyss: Unless I'm missing something, the simple 19...Kxc7 also wins, being B+N up without potential tricks and avoiding the worry of the advanced Pawn. Maybe Black absolutely intended to castle by hand on the Kside. And earlier, the simple 17...Qe3+ 18.Kh1 Qxd3 also wins. Interesting game. The B sac was speculative, the N sac was superspeculative. The pun, is it "Off the charts" because of the rare 6...Qe7 (6...Bb6 is more played)? Only two other games in the DB: Navara vs R Kaderka, 1993 1-0 Yenenshe Lukas Melebo vs J Nepando, 2016 0-1
