May-04-11 Karpov vs Portisch, 1982 
|
willychess: This is the karpov variation against the sicilian. Later was discovered that 13... Nc5 is the right plan. After the exchange of knights black plays "c4" with great activity. (14.Nxc5 bxc5 15....c4!) |

Jul-03-10 Topalov vs Shirov, 2008 
|
willychess: I think 21 .. Qb6 maybe is good to black. I don´t see the adventange to white (the black knight have access to c4). But it´s an obvious move and topalov must have analized it. |

|
willychess: Geronimo:
A player with a knight and king can give mate vs a player with a king and pawn (i have to admit that the player with the pawn must colaborate. The arbiter can set a draw, if it is asked, when the opposite player is not trying to win by normal ways. |

Apr-07-08 Capablanca - Alekhine World Championship Match (1927) 
|
willychess: I think there is another side of the coin. The match of 1927 was very boring and perhaps no much people wanted to see anothers 32 queen gambits. This fact may have influenced the sponsors in order to help Capa to raised the required money |

willychess: <eyal> thanks for your answer. i think black king can castle if in your 2nd line plays 19..g6 instead of gxh6 then if 20 axb4 the black king can go to h7 in relative safety. But white has a powerfull force in his queenside. In the whole i think this offer better chances for |
