| IvoryKnightAndRook: 18. b3 is fine. Hao should have played 19.Nf6! Kh8 20. Rd3 with a great attack. |

IvoryKnightAndRook: The unusual thing about this opening is that Batsford chess openings (from 1994?) gives this line as  for white, and that's assuming black plays 10...gf. According to Batsford, if 10...Nf6 then e5 |

| IvoryKnightAndRook: I actually like black a bit. White has doubled pawns, and black's piece play is strong enough to compensate for being down that many pawns. A draw seems fair. |

May-18-10 Robson vs I Krush, 2010
| |
| IvoryKnightAndRook: I took up Sequoia's challenge:
67...Rd7 68. Ke1 (68.Kc1 Ra7 69.Kb1 Bd3 70.Kc1 Ra1 #) Rf7 69. Re3 Bd3 intending 70...Rf1 # Got it in about 3 minutes with no computer.
Still, you have to wonder what it would be like in time pressure after playing for hours. |

| IvoryKnightAndRook: I play this line as black, so for what it's worth, here's a line for 12. c6!? 12. c6 Bd5 ed Nc5 cb Nb7 Nd4 Bd4 Bg4 Qe5 =
Or 12. c6 bc! Ne7 Kh8 Ba6 f6 = but black has good play |

| IvoryKnightAndRook: I just don't understand this. If ab, Qb6, white appears to have a huge advantage. |

| IvoryKnightAndRook: Agreed, After ...Qf6 Rf8 Qf8 Qc7 white is better but black can't be lost |

| IvoryKnightAndRook: 11. Rac1 should be 11. Rae1. The score is wrong. |
