Feb-02-23 Giri vs Rapport, 2023
| |
| ET3 Hefley: Wonderful game. The idea behind 6 ...g6 is that the Bishop pair and King safety after ...0-0 more than makes up for the isolated d-pawn. Adding to this is that White does not have a Dark Squared Bishop which would be needed to build pressure on that isolated d-pawn. If White ... |

Feb-01-23 K Rogoff vs Carlsen, 2012
| |
| ET3 Hefley: RookFile... The guy played a LITERAL who's who of great chess players including Tal, Larsen, and so many more that it is ridiculous. To suggest that "in his prime" he would not even be able to compete with Carlsen is kind of a joke. Remember, this guy did it before computers and ... |

| ET3 Hefley: Thanks. There are literally hundreds of sites much better for this. Not that I am in any way trying to tell people what to do... I am just baffled that it would go on for YEARS in a terrible program for chatting and actually seeing old info. Like apps designed for specifically ... |

Jan-17-23 L'Ami vs M Yilmaz, 2023
| |
| ET3 Hefley: 9. g4 is a Najdorf novelty (at least in the Chessbase Megadatabase or Correspondence Database). Black didn't handle the new complication well and 9 ...d5! should probably be played instead. A wise man once said that if Black can gain a favorable ...d5 break in the Najdorf, they ... |

| |
| ET3 Hefley: Same idea as the finish between Dubov - Sarin at the FIRE Rapid recently. The minor pieces seal the deal after 29. ♕xh5 ...gxh5, 30. ♗h7# Dubov vs N Sarin, 2022 |

Jan-05-23 E Park vs K Kulaots, 2023
| |
| ET3 Hefley: Instructive game.
As Black plays 13 ...♕a5 we are still in a dead even game and White is correct to play 14. 0-0-0 The game continuation of 14 ...♕xf5?! is a premature pawn grab due to {15. Bc4 ...Rc8, 16. Bb3 ...Be7, 17.Nd5 ...Nxd5, 18.Rxd5... Qg6, 19.g3 and White ... |
