My game against Jester 1.10e by Stephan NGUYEN, Im playing it at the moment. How is my play, and how can I improve it? |
|
| May-08-06 | | foolishmovesss: <deepblade> I would like to be able to help you out here. However your notation is a little hard to follow. If you could please redo it and specify what rook is the one that moved to a square. e.g. Rad1, or Rfd1 ect.. Also when you have somebody castle please use the correct notation. Kg8 kind thru me for a loop at first. Correct is o-o for kingside castle and o-o-o for queenside castle. If you clean up the notation and present it again I would be happy to look at it. |
|
| May-09-06 | | DeepBlade: I know the notation, but I copied it from the Jester interface which writes the moves down like this (from-to notation) e2-e4 e7-e5, so I simply deleted the first useless square, which appearently had the error you spotted. Here is the clean one. P.S Im the playing on the white side. 1.e4 d5

| May-11-06 | | foolishmovesss: <deepblade> Nice game. A couple of things you could have done different. Move 11. Nh4. I don't like giving away the bishop pair so easily, Bf4 would have been my choice. Move 12 Qxe3, fxe3 is much better. Open file, stronger center. And your pawn structure favors your single bishop, you may be able to make some dark squared outposts. Move 16 Bxg4. I really didn't like this move. Bad choice to give up both bishops here. Also you are trading pices off and that helps black in this cramped position. I think Qg3 was a better choice. its a tempo, and it keeps blacks pices cramped. Move 19. I think black is fully equalized at this point. I actually think black is better. The bishop pair is going to cause you some real grief, if black plays properly. Other then that I liked the way you played. You played the opening well, playing d4 instead of trying to hold the pawn. Black played a slightly worse move with Nf6, this helped to lead to his space problem. Nb6 is alot better choice for black, if you are not familliar with this line look in the opening explorer for more info. Sorry if I made a typo I have to do this in my head becasue I am at work and don't want to get caught on ICC analyzing. --Foolish |
|
| May-11-06 | | DeepBlade: Thanks!
Indeed, Black fully equalised, the eval was 0.00 for a long time, untill I messed up in the endgame. Thanks for the cramped game hint, I never consider space, and the right time to exchange pieces. Also I really enjoy Scandi games, they are never boring! |
|
| May-15-06 | | suenteus po 147: I find it very foreboding of <chessgames.com> to make the Scandinavian (B01) the opening of the day when we will see the rematch of Topalov/White-Kamsky/Black, which Kamsky lost in a Scandinavian. |

 | | Joshka: Anyone have any knowledge or experience using the Williams Gambit...with 2.f4!? |
|
| May-27-06 | | suenteus po 147: <Joshka> No, but it sounds like my kind of variation! ;) |
|
| May-27-06 | | suenteus po 147: I have a question: What exactly is the "Bronstein Variation" of the Scandinavian? |
|
May-27-06
| | Joshka: <suenteus po 147> Great!:-) I have this little pamphlet some 60 pages on this Williams Gambit by William L. Williams. Many neat miniatures...but they all start out 1.f4...d5...and now 2.e4....but it's never mentioned that they could get this opening from the Scandinavian! |
|
May-27-06
 | | Eric Schiller: <suenteus> Bronstein Var. is 3...Qd6 with an early ...a6 (as opposed to the early ...c6 plan I've always used). <Joshka> I've been very critical of that gambit and the published analysis of it, see almost any of my works on Unorthdodox Openings for details. And you missed something: 1.e4 d5 2.f4 is not a Scandinavian after 2...e5! It is a King's Gambit Declined, the line I teach my students to play as Black! |
|
May-27-06
| | Joshka: <Eric Schiller> Allright Eric thanks for the correction. I guess your Tennison Gambit is the best against a 1...d5 Scandinavian, as you mention in your Gambit Repertoire for White. |
|
| May-29-06 | | sixfeetunder: Huh, the best against a Scandinavian is definitely 2.exd5. |
|
| Jun-04-06 | | gulliver: I have encountered two great Scandinavian games in the Turin olympiad. One is Sutovsky playing black 3..Qa5 against a fierce Harikrishna. Draw agreed on move 26
Harikrishna vs Sutovsky, 2006
The 2nd Smirin with white against Vladislav ( Romanian , I think)playing 3.. Qd6 and Smirin winning after 94 moves.
Both games have instructive opening and middle games and even end game ideas for any scandinavian student. |
|
| Jun-04-06 | | Akavall: Black doesn't have to accept the Tennison Gambit, though. They can play 2...c6 or 2...e6, leading to Caro-Kann or French, and Black is fine in both lines. I don't think there are any gambits against Scandinavian where black is either forced to take, or must face inferior position. I don't have anything that I like against Scandinavian :(. Perhaps 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nf3!? But I can't say I am happy there. |
|
| Jun-05-06 | | borisbadenoff: I like it to transpose into the French or Caro-Kann by playing 2. d4. Which one is then blacks choice by c6 or e6 |
|
| Jun-05-06 | | foolishmovesss: <borisbadenoff> How about dxe4? If you want it to transpose I suppose you should play 2) Nc3. Then dxe4 Nxe4 Bf5. Classical Caro. I think 2) d4 just loses a pawn. Or atleast lets black develop quickly while white tries to regain the pawn. Seems like black would equalise easily in 6 or 7 moves. Most white players wouldn't want that to happen. |
|

| | Eric Schiller: <foolish> 2.d4 simply transposes to the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. While the gambit is perhaps not fully sound, it certainly doesn't "just lose a pawn" unless you consider all gambits to be simply tossing away material. |
|
| Jun-05-06 | | azaris: <Seems like black would equalise easily in 6 or 7 moves> But get mated on the 8th. |
|
| Jun-05-06 | | foolishmovesss: <eric> Good point. I guess I am more or less answering the above that d4 transposes into a CK or French. It does not do that. Blackmar it does however. My mistake. |
|
| Jun-05-06 | | Mating Net: I am quite partial to the 3...Qd6 Scandinavian. I have come across many White players who play 4.d3 instead of 4.d4. I used to automatically reply 4...e5 in that case but I never quite seem able to make that work. Does anybody have any suggestions of how best to take advantage of this move by White? I checked opening explorer, but so many of the relatively few games with this move transposed from different openings that it wasn't particularly helpful. |
|
| Jun-05-06 | | foolishmovesss: <Mating Net> I also have encountered this. I don't usually play with the queenside fincheto in this line but play Bf5 or Bg4, and castle long alot. I find this line agravating, but you dont really seem to be as cramped in the opening as you are when they play d4. You can play this position alot like a CK. |
|
| Jun-05-06 | | Mating Net: <foolishmovesss> Cool, castling long is something I like doing in this opening. What about the Black e pawn? If he goes to e5 straight away you have to support him somehow. |
|
| Jun-05-06 | | borisbadenoff: <folishmovesss: <borisbadenoff> How about dxe4? If you want it to transpose I suppose you should play 2) Nc3. Then dxe4 Nxe4 Bf5. Classical Caro>
I don't think so as there is no pawn on c6
<foolishmovesss: <eric> Good point. I guess I am more or less answering the above that d4 transposes into a CK or French. It does not do that. Blackmar it does however. My mistake.>
Well by this arguing line I could also say the Blackmar-Diemer-Gambit is inexistent because by e6 or c6 instead of exd4 I make it a French/Caro-Kann. No just kidding. What I meant to say is that it happens to me that players play c6 or e6 instead of exf4 because some don't know the Blackmar-Diemer gambit all that good and prefer "safe" grounds |
|
| Jun-05-06 | | foolishmovesss: <borisbadenoff> true there is no c6 pawn, but black also will get a chance to play c5 in one go instead of 2. |
