Dec-23-11		An Englishman: Good Evening: Bluff or genius? Legendary coffeehouse player and chess hustler Treysman leaves his Bishop completely unprotected with 18...fxe4!?, but White doesn't grab; instead he removes his Knight from the protection of the vital a2 square. To be fair, it sure didn't look all that vital at the time. So was the sacrifice sound? If yes, I think this position might prove a great Sunday puzzle.

Dec-23-11		Phony Benoni: <An Englishman> Good Morning. In the position after <18...dxe4>: click for larger view Fred Reinfeld, writing in the October 1936 issue of <Chess Review>, gives this line: 19.bxc5 exf3 20.Bxf3 Nxf3 21.Rxf3 (21.Rf2 Nxh2!) Rxf3 22.Qxf3 Rf8 winning. Or 19.fxe4 Ng4! S.S. Cohen, also annotating the game, called 20.Bf4 the losing move, and gave a winning line for White with 20.Ng5 Qh6 21.Rb2 Ba7 (21...Bb6 22.c5 dxc5 23.Qb3+) 22.c5 d5 23.g4.

Dec-23-11		SteinitzLives: Just too much firepower from the failed waiter, but great hustler.

Jan-25-19		GumboGambit: Foreshadowing Alert: its playing with a hustler that boots Barnie Frank from Congress

Jun-24-20		Brenin: White can follow Cohen's line (see <Phony Benoni> above) with g4 and f4, driving Black's pieces back and giving himself a good position.

Jun-24-20		7he5haman: The move after 20. bxc5 is 21...Ng4, right? If 21. Rf2 then simply 21...Bxe4. If 21. fxg4 then 21...Bxe4+ 22. Bf3 Bxb1 looks great for Black (if 23. cxd6, then 23...Ra2! 24. Bd2 Rxd2! and Black mates)

Jun-24-20		7he5haman: Sorry that should be <20...Ng4>, not 21.

Jun-24-20		Bishoprick: Wow! Some attack!

Jun-24-20		7he5haman: And if 20. bxc5 Ng4 21. fxg4 Bxe4+ 22. Bf3 Bxb1 <23. Bg2> The Black Queen looks trapped, but 23...Be4! wins

Jun-24-20		Saksham: Nice attack by the black pieces!

Jun-24-20		Brenin: Good to see George Formby, maestro of the ukulele and the double entendre, being referenced in a pun.

Jun-24-20		RandomVisitor: With 18...fxe4?! 19.Nxe4 black throws away the advantage: click for larger view Stockfish_20061707_x64_modern: <52/78 07:01 +0.25 19.Nxe4 Ba7 20.Ng5> Qf5 21.Nxe6 Qxe6 22.c5 dxc5 23.bxc5 Bxc5 24.Rxb7 Ra1 25.Rb3 Ra2 26.Rb2 Ra1 27.Qb3 Qxb3 28.Rxb3 Bd4 29.f4 g5 30.Bd2 Rxf1+ 31.Bxf1 c5 32.Kg2 gxf4 33.gxf4 Rf6 34.Be2 h6 35.Rb7 Nf7 36.Bc4 Kf8 37.Bd5 Nd6 38.Rd7 Nb5

Jun-24-20		Breunor: The losing move is 20 Bf4, after which white is completely lost with Ng4. White is actually ahead a pawn with 20 Ng5 Qh6 21 Rb2 Ba7 22 g4 Be6 23 Rc2 Bc8

Jun-24-20		SChesshevsky: Think this Barnie F. write a book about investing/speculating in the 1920s called "Ten Years of Wall Street." I highly recommend it. Especially if one wants to understand what seems to be going on on Wall Street today.

Jun-24-20		Ziryab: Rats. I was rooting for White because I am never on the Black side of this opening, but often face it. Maybe I should take the time to find some improvements in White’s play.

Jun-25-20		Phony Benoni: <Ziryab> Probably the most significant improvement is 1.e4.

Jun-25-20		Ziryab: < Phony Benoni> I play 1.e4 plenty. That has other risks. The French, for instance. Everyone hates the French, except those of us who favor it.

Jun-26-20		Ironmanth: Great game! Everyone have a great, safe, and wonderful week!
