| Jun-07-09 | | blacksburg: hmmmm....
looking at the repertoire explorer, i noticed that with the black pieces, after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4, Suba almost always plays 3...Nf6, not the customary 3...cxd4. what's up with that? is it some kind of Benoni invitation, considering that Suba plays the Benoni as well? is there any way to take advantage of this uncommon move, and if so, why has no one ever tried it against Suba? everyone plays 4.Nc3, back into main line Sicilians. |

| Sep-08-09 | | ycbaywtb: browsed/read some of his 1991 dynamic chess strategy and is easy read with thought provoking ideas, nice game collection too/ not many GM's actually win more than they draw, maybe he was on to something |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: For the benefit of anyone who may not previously have heard this bit of good news, a revised edition of Suba’s classic was recently published: “Dynamic Chess Strategy, an Extended and Updated Edition”, by Suba, Mihai, New in Chess ©2010. |

| | Peligroso Patzer: I have so far found one piece of analysis in the updated edition of “Dynamic Chess Strategy” that seems erroneous. Quiz Position 12 on page 24 is as follows: 
click for larger view ... and the question is: “How does White win?” On pages 200-201, the following solution is given: “In a winning position, White ‘saw’ a clear-cut win and played <1. Qe7+?? Qxe7 2. fxe7+ Kxe7 3. g4 Kd6 4. f4 Kc5 5. g5 Kxb5 6.f5 Ka4! 7. g6 fxg6 8. fxg6 c3 9. Ke2 Ka3!> and the game ended in a draw (Epishin-Suba, Parla 2004).” It seems to me that the “??” given for the first move in the above variation is not deserved, and that it is rather White’s 7th move that should receive a question mark [7. g6?]. The point is that White should not advance the g-pawn to the 6th rank until the Black King is on the 3rd rank. Thus, from the following position (after <6. … Ka4!> in the actual game continuation quoted by Suba): 
click for larger view ... play should continue: <7. Ke2! Ka3 8. g6 fxg6 9. f6!> (so that White will promote on f8 and give check) <9. … c3 10. f7 c2 11. f8=Q+ Kb2 12. Qb4+> with an easy win. Alternatively, if Black plays <7. … Kb3> in the above line, then White continues with <8. g6 fxg6 9. fxg6>, so that the promotion will occur on g8 and give check to the King on b3. There is actually one further refinement in this last line, but I need to be leaving for work soon, so I will plan on addressing that point in a separate kibitz at my next opportunity. |

| | Peligroso Patzer: The “further refinement” referred to in my earlier post involves the line with <7. Ke2 Kb3>, after which the position would be as follows: 
click for larger viewWhite to move is winning, but the task is complicated by the fact that Black has a pawn on the c-file that is 3 moves from promotion and is supported by the nearby Black King. The position is only  because the White King is also well-placed. In fact, if the White King were just one file further away (i.e., on f1 or f2), the position would be drawn. From the diagram position, there are two principal lines that demonstrate the win for White, as follows: (I) <8. g6 fxg6 9. fxg6 c3 10. g7 c2 11. g8=Q+ Kb2 12. Qb8+ Kc3 (12. … Kc1 13. Kd3 Kd1 14. Qb3 ) 13. Qe5+ Kb3 14. Qa1 >; and (II) <8. g6 c3 9. gxf7 c2 10. f8=Q c1=Q 11. Qf7+ Ka3 12. Qa7+ Kb4 13. Qb6+ Ka4 14. f6> and White has a tablebase win in this position:

| Dec-12-10 | | Everett: I very much enjoy Suba's new version of Dynamic Chess Strategies, yet I find myself perturbed by his discussion of chess intuition without one mention of Bronstein. In actuality, I feel that his work is most in the spirit of the "intuitive dynamism" exemplified in Bronstein's best games. All this aside, Suba's work has a similar effect on my chess that Bronstein's does: my play is more dynamic and interesting, with more flexibility. |

| Jul-05-12 | | Cemoblanca: Just reading "Dynamic Chess Strategy" by Mr. Subaman! ;0) Very entertaining & easy style! The introduction of this wonderful book says already everything: "I made a late debut in chess. Until the age of 20 I was more interested in other leisure activities. The only tournament I played in below this age ended in a catastrophe with me scoring 0 points out of 13 games! :D Absolutely recommended! Very well done Mr. Subaman! Thank you & all the best for you & yours! Greetings! :0) |
