Jan-19-22 G Saikhanzaya vs A B Gikas, 2012
| |
| Sebastian88: The opening seems to have been transposed into the Noteboom Variation. It might as well go in that move order: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. ♘c3 e6 4. ♘f3 dxc4 5. e4 b5 6. a4 ♗b4 7. axb5 cxb5. An incredibly precise game by Black. On move 18 they could have tried ... |

| |
| Sebastian88: 8.♘g5! A brave attack in the opening! However, 11.♕xf7 ♔h8 12.d4 probably is a bit stronger. |

| |
| Sebastian88: Ad: Honza Cervenka: <a little bit unusual opening line in Ruy Lopez> and Benzol: <I've never seen the 3...♕f6 variation before>. In the chess encyclopedia by Władysław Litmanowicz and Jerzy Giżycki: "Szachy od A do Z" (Chess from A to Z), Warsaw 1986 on page 866 |

Jan-09-22 Blackburne vs Gunsberg, 1881

| Sebastian88: For the opening theory:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5
- Scotch Game: Classical Variation (C45).
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5 5. Be3 Qf6 6. c3 Nge7 7. Bb5
- Scotch Game: Paulsen Attack (C45).
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5 5. Be3 ... |

Jan-07-22 J Mieses vs Chigorin, 1903
| |
| Sebastian88: The Blachly Gambit (4...Nc6) is a very interesting opening choice by Chigorin. But how should he continue on move 9? Black has a lot of choices: 9...Ne7; 9...Qe7; 9...Bg7 and even 9...c6. I think the best will be 9...Ne7 10. Qxg4 Ng6 -+ If 11. Qf5? then 11...d5! 12. Qf6 Qxf6 13. |

Nov-28-21 B Wall vs A Brown, 1983
| |
| Sebastian88: @outplayer If 4. Ba3 then I suggest 4...Qxb5 5. e3 Qc6! (the queen controls c4 from here) 6. Nf3 (after 6. Nc3 will follow simple 6 ... a6 ⩱) 6...Bg4 7. Be2 Nd7 ... with the possibility of a long castle and an attack on the king's side. |
