May-06-09 Petrov Defense (C42)    chessman95: <the humiliation if I were, say, to be crushed in a miniature... this goes for most other questionable or outright bad gambits as well.> True. I always feel a little bit of extra pressure to win whenever I play some strange defense or unsound gambit, which I find very ...      Apr-27-09 K Georgiev vs J Pinter, 1985   chessman95: 6.b3 is interesting. The end position looks like it has lots of life left in it to me... agreed draws like this annoy me.      Apr-27-09 ChessBookForum chessforum    chessman95: <If your going to play the Sicilian, play the Dragon!> It's interesting, but in Yasser Seirawan's beginner's "Winning Chess Openings" I recall him recommending the Scheveningen Variation for those who are first trying out the Sicilian... not that I agree or anything, but ...      Apr-26-09 Kibitzer's Café    chessman95: <I did catch that sprightly 16-11 game today. Suddenly, the Tigers' pitching doesn't look all that bad.> I also watched that game today... it was quite a slugfest. I don't know what it is about Yankees-Red Sox games, but they always seem to provide plenty of weekend ...      Apr-24-09 acirce chessforum    chessman95: <acirce> Thank you for the reply. That's all I wanted to know.      Apr-22-09 B Barth Sahl vs S Bjerke, 2005   chessman95: Crafty 17.9 found both 10.c3 and 10.Bxf6 to be stronger than the 10.e5 played in this game. It doesn't appear that white was very well prepared to "reveal" his "novelty".      Apr-20-09 zanshin chessforum    chessman95: <blacksburg> I just meant a "checking system" like <zanshin> pointed out that Crafty uses, that could look for certain characteristics in a position that would make a positions drawn. <I believe the reason the closed positions are not included in the evaluation is ...      Apr-19-09 Dmaster995 chessforum    chessman95: <Dmaster995> (I'm assuming you play the Bird with white.) What do you play against the From Gambit? It seems to me that accepting it is too dangerous, or maybe you could suggest a solid line for white against it? From the opening explorer transposing to the King's Gambit      Apr-19-09 Sicilian (B27)    chessman95: Thanks <refuter> and <MaxxLange>. I had strongly considered sacing the rook, but decided to go ahead and let it take the knight instead. Is this line mentioned in any books?      Apr-18-09 A Petrosian vs L Hazai, 1970    chessman95: Could white have played Qxa5+ and still won? Please someone provide computer analysis on this endgame. Also, is there any better line for white from move 47 on?
