Mar-02-20  Cheapo by the Dozen: Margarita won this game by marching down the a-file.
Mar-09-20  7he5haman: 28...Ra8 29.Nxc5 Nxc5 30.Bxc5 Rxa5 31.d7 Bf6 32.Bd4! is a nice line
Mar-09-20  Cheapo by the Dozen: Yes it is!

But if they'd played it that way my pun wouldn't have worked as well. :)

1.d4 e6 2.c4 c5.

Of course, this often transposes into other openings.

Mar-09-20  Honey Blend: With the fall of the black a6 pawn being inevitable, 24. ... ♖b2 was probably the best bet, followed by ... ♖a2 soon, putting her rook behind the passed a-pawn.
Mar-09-20  Honey Blend: Also, no Fischer GOTD on his 77th birthday? Not even a feature Fischerandom game?

In this case, a modern Benoni with the black knight on e7 instead of f6. The game is a good reminder of why that knight should come out to f6.

Mar-09-20  RandomVisitor: After7.f4 black can equalize. Then there is the rest of the game...

Mar-09-20  Cheapo by the Dozen: The ... Bb2 plan turns out not to work for Black because White can play Be3 for an extra defender of c1.
