Aug-13-10 Tinsley vs Bird, 1895
|
Professor Chaos: <Qb3 is rarely good in this opening.> I don't know if it's a bad move the majority of the time, but in this game 10. Qb3 locks white's queen out of any important duty for the majority of the middle game. And then, white tries an inadequte kingside attack with his queen |

Apr-08-10 Eljanov vs A A Ivanov, 2010 
|
Professor Chaos: Andrey A Ivanov will be seeing pawns in his sleep after this game. White gobbles up space on the board. I don't think I've seen d4, c4, b4, and a4 lined up in a row in a real game before. Maybe Ivanov likes to play in these cramped positions? |

Apr-08-10 Potkin vs E Alekseev, 2010
|
Professor Chaos: It's a quick draw, but by the move order maybe white wanted to go up against a queen's indian and not a catalan or QGD. Is there any other reason not to play Nc3 first if you didn't want to avoid a Nimzo? |

Apr-08-10 H Ni vs E Gasanov, 2010
|
Professor Chaos: Black's game seems to go downhill after 10...Ne5. How about 10...g6 and then Bg7 and O-O instead? With the idea of using the dark center squares and attacking c3 if white moves his d-pawn. |
