Mar-10-21		Phony Benoni: After <5...Qxf6> click for larger view White can grab a pawn with 6.cxd5. Why not? I don't see any examples of the pawn being taken, mainly because there are almost no examples of Black offering it. And this may not even be one: <Chess review> (1941, p. 126-127) gives the move order 3.Nf3 and 6.Nc3, eliminating the "gambit". A correction based on the <CR> order of moves seems correct, but I'm wondering if there is actually any theory here.. Is this an example o the currently popular "Overabundance of Caution", or a simple Typographical Novelty?

Mar-11-21		Jean Defuse: ... There are only three previously played examples with <6.cxd5> (in my DB) White always won...

Mar-11-21		OhioChessFan: Hard to believe such a natural looking move is so rare.

Mar-12-21		Phony Benoni: <Jean Defuse> Thanks for looking into this. It confirms the impression that White should have no worries about taking the pawn, and that this is not a real gambit but the sort of thing that happens after an opening mistake. <OCF> if 5...h6 is so rare in this situation, it's because it's simply a bad move. Black can avoid the loss of a pawn with <5...gxf6> but after <6.cxd5 exd5> we have this situation: click for larger view It's hard to imagine Black entering this position unless he had no choice. Yet, in the three games in our database in which it has occurred, Black has won all three!! Have we stumbled on Carlsen's next secret weapon? Hardly. It's merely a case of a small sample size and White players who did not adjust well to an unusual situation. But we probably don't need to worry about this n the present game after all. I happened to stumble upon the game score printed in Hermann Helms' column in the "New York Times" for July 9, 1941, and he also uses the 3.Nf3 and 6.Nc3 move order used in <Chess Review>. So what we have is probably ust a transcription error.
