 | | OhioChessFan: Here is Rybka's analysis from RandomVisitor's forum: (27-ply)
3. (0.29): 30.Qf4 Qd7 31.fxg6 fxg6 32.Qd2 Qb5 33.Qg5 Re2 34.Rf7 Rcc2 35.Kh1 Re6 36.b4 Rc8 After 33.Qg5 this line has transposed into the 30.fxg6 fxg6 31.Qg5 variation. |
|
Nov-26-06
 | | OhioChessFan: I just played over Rybka's line, and think there's no way in the world that's best, for either side. Anyone have some improvements on it? The 32nd move for both sides looks particularly strange. |

 | | Domdaniel: Ohio - just for some variety, this line came up in a game I played with two different engines. Black is lost after move 32, it seems: 30.Qf4 Re4 31.Qxd6 Bf8 32.Qg3 Qxb2 33.fxg6 fxg6 34.Qg5 Qa2 35.Rf7 Re2 (or 35...Bd6+ 36.Kh1 Bf8 [36...Re1 37.Rxe1 Kxf7 38.Qg4 wins] 37.Bd8 wins) 36.Bc7 Bg7 37.Rxg7+ winning.
Black usually gets mated around move 45. I'm not sure if it proves anything, apart from how easily the Black position can collapse. [btw - liked your idea about a Newbie Forum, but we'd need about six of them - all the way from "Step this way, gentle beginner" to "Your Wisdom is indeed great, Master, but..." - that last one would have come in handy tonight.] cheers |

| Nov-27-06 | | monad: <OhioChessFan: I wonder if a forum for new kibitzers would be in order> Hiya, you could always send them to my domain (address on my forum), where newbies could work their way through our ups and downs by glancing at the playable boards I put up over the past three months. Playing through is more accessible than long lists of lines. I will probably be able to keep that site going for the duration of the game. |

| Nov-27-06 | | ughaibu: After 30.Qf4 Qd7 what's wrong with 31.Qg4?
|
|
Nov-28-06
 | | Domdaniel: <Ohio> After all these 'weirdo' moves you've been handling, how about a change of pace? Care to take on the Thorsson mainline with 30.fxg6 fxg6 31.Qg5 etc ?? <jep> is taking 31.R1f2 - I'm not sure if anything else matters much, but I'll keep the eye open. Thanks... |
|
Nov-28-06
 | | Domdaniel: <Ohio> Sorry - I'm also going to be a bit busy (RL) tonight and early tomorrow. It shouldn't matter much - I don't expect this place to be too busy until GMAN moves, and I'll be back before then. I'd just like to have those 2 forums - jep and you, if you're willing - up and running first. |

| Nov-28-06 | | thegoodanarchist: So we can look at the replies 31...Rc2 and 31...Rc4. Any other candidates? |
|
| Nov-28-06 | | thegoodanarchist: To answer my own question, maybe 31...Re6 |
|
| Nov-28-06 | | thegoodanarchist: 31 Qg5 Re6 32 R1f2 h6 33 Qg3 and white has the upper hand, according to Fritz 8. In this case our plan appears to be kingside attack :) |
|
| Nov-28-06 | | dalbertz: A cursory look (5 minute evals) with my Fritz 9 gives me the following line: 31. Qg5 Rc2 32. Rf7 Ree2 33. Kh1 Rc8 34. R1f4 Rf8
with the following suggested lines -

| Nov-28-06 | | Nibiru: 31. Qg5 maybe Bf8-e7? |
|
| Nov-28-06 | | isemeria: <30...fxg6 31. Qg5 Rc2 32. Rf7 Re6 33. Bc7> White should have considerable advantage. Variations A and B are from the main forum discussion (Thorsson, Tabanus et al.) Variation C is my HIARCS 10 with limited analysis time. A. 33...h6 34. Qf4 Qe8 35. Bxd6 Ree2 36. Kh1 Re1 37. Rxg7+ Kxg7 38. Be5+ Rxe5 39. dxe5  B. 33...h6 34.Qf4 Qe8 35.Bxd6 Rc6 36.Be5 Rxe5 37.Rxg7+ Kxg7 38.dxe5 Re6  C. 33...Qe8 34. Qxd5 Rxb2 35. Bxd6 Qxf7 36. Rxf7 Kxf7, is this a clear win for White? |
|
| Nov-28-06 | | dalbertz: From the posts on the main page and my playing around with my Fritz, I have become fairly persuaded that 32...Re6 is an inferior move for black since it allows White to free the bishop and get it into the attack. It looks like the main line is more likely the one with 32...Ree2. |

Black cannot play 33...Rxg2 because 34.Qd8+ leads to mate. The two Black rooks look menacing, but they cannot accomplish anything, and at least 1 must be withdrawn from the 2nd rank in every line. By the way, the computer that generated the lines that follow used about 120 hours of computer time. In fact, White's mating threats are so strong that Black is the one who ends up sweating: (29-ply)

 | | OhioChessFan: To clarify what those sections are:
Section A is one of the older lines of analysis, with the best lines for Black with 32...Rc2. It's a little redundant, but there are some ply issues involved.Section B shows the best lines from the 3 Rook moves, 32...Rc2/Re6/Re2 Section C shows the best lines from 32..Re2
Section D shows the best lines from 32..Rc2
Section E shows the best lines from 32..Re6 |

Nov-28-06
 | | OhioChessFan: The Rybka lines are simply a starting point. Rybka is not at its best in end games, so we should check the lines with other engines, and human analysis. |
|
| Nov-28-06 | | YouRang: In the line: 30...fxg6 31. Qg5 Rc2 (which seems most likely, IMO), it appears that 32. Rf7 is the 'main line' continuation, but 32. h4 might also be of interest. I'll let the computer stew on that for a while... |

Rf7 is the 'main line' continuation, but 32. h4 might also be of interest.> For those of the Nimzovich/Petrosian schools of prophylaxis, 32.R1f2 is also a consideration. It is by no means throwing away the advantage, but it is also not as strong... |
