Nov-25-11 King's Indian Attack (A07)
| |
| MaxxLange: <What is the theory behind those moves?> Black often plays to gain space on the Queenside against these systems. In the game you cite, it looks like he can get away with doing this so early because White's development is also slow. |

Nov-25-11 Piket vs Lautier, 1996
| |
| MaxxLange: CG seems to use some opening classifier that is confused by move orders. |

Nov-17-11 Capablanca vs J C Rather, 1936
| |
| MaxxLange: Ah, the dreaded Formation: King's Indian Attack!
Returning a pawn with 16...e3 would have broken up this nice combination, because, after that, an eventual ...Qxd5 would be check |

| |
| MaxxLange: tell her, dude, not us! |

Nov-14-11 B Wall vs S Millimaci, 1987
| |
| MaxxLange: Maybe he saw Bxf7+ and Ng5+ and said, wow, I've got to stop Ng5. But then why not play 5....e6? It's a mystery. |

Nov-07-11 Plaskett vs Miles, 1986
| |
| MaxxLange: Well, that's a shame, if prolonged analysis shows that this beautiful idea is refutable. Oh well! Thankfully, you were playing a human GM, and not Deep Rybka |

Nov-02-11 C Zeng vs Lu Yijie, 2011
| |
| MaxxLange: not the English attack |

Nov-01-11 Fischer vs R Burger, 1963
| |
| MaxxLange: Is the game in the book that John Donaldson wrote about RJF's simul tour? |
|
|
|
Oct-27-11 Maroczy vs Vidmar, 1922
| |
| MaxxLange: Black should play 11...0-0-0 in this line
Speaking of traps: 11...gxf6? 12. g4! Qe5 13. Nf3 snares the Queen |
