Well, it looks like some breakthrough in the 24... g5 line, if Black tries the exchange sac, the black position will have too many weak squares.

| Nov-22-12 | | morfishine: Hi <OhioChessfan>! Long time! I hope all is well! I see you got "all other moves". Perhaps possible is <26...Rae8> with a view to <27...Bd8>; His only recourse is to create a blockade; and it appears he can only set up a blockade after some sort of sacrifice; <26...Rae8> eyeballs hitting <e5>, especially in the event White pushes his f-pawn; We should be aware of this possibility as he tries to construct his blockade. Happy Turkey Day! Morf |

 | | OhioChessFan: <morf> after looking at it, I think Rae8 might be more likely than Rfe8. The first to create a blockade, the second to get that awful Knight into the game. |

How not to play against the 26... Be7 defense.
Well, if we are not flexible enough, Black will get some counterplay on the queenside, believe it or not: 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 Bf5 4. Nf3 e6 5. Be2 Nd7 6. O-O Bg6 7. a4 Ne7 8. a5 Nf5 9. c3 h6 10.

White have a knight against Black's 3 surplus pawns whose structure is not good and so White would most likely win the endgame, but we can do much better. I only showed this example to demonstrate a resource that was underestimated by now, the push of the c-pawn that can be supported by rook and 2 minors. White's first mistake was 28. Nf1, sticking too closely to the plan. Instead we have to care for adequate strength on the second rank, playing 28. Rff2, like so: 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 Bf5 4. Nf3 e6 5. Be2 Nd7 6. O-O Bg6 7. a4 Ne7 8. a5 Nf5 9. c3 h6 10. Nbd2 Be7 11. g4 Nh4 12. Nxh4 Bxh4 13. f4 f5 14. Bd3 O-O 15. Kh1 Qe8 16. Qc2 Kh7 17. Rg1 Be7 18. Nf1 Qf7 19. h3 b5 20. Ne3 fxg4 21. hxg4 Bxd3 22. Qxd3+ Kg8 23. b4 Bd8 24. Rf1 a6 25. Ra2 Bh4 26. Rf3 Be7 27. Rh2 Rfc8 28. Rff2  click for larger view
Now <28... c5> fails due to <29. bxc5 Bxc5 30. g5> and White's attack is too fast, so that Black's counterplay would just fizzle out. Nf8 29. Nf1 Nd7 30. Ng3 Rc7 31. f5 c5 32. bxc5 Bxc5 33.

 | | OhioChessFan: I've played around with my IE but can't figure out what version it is. I did a right click to check properties, but can't find any identifying version number. When I right click the open area next to the home page icon, I get a drop down menu. In order, those say menu bar, favorites bar, menu bar, command bar, status bar, (a checkmark next to) google toolbar, (a checkmark next to) AOL toolbar, (a checkmark next to) lock the toolbars, show tabs on a separate row, restore, (grayed out)move, (grayed out) size, minimize, (grayed out)maximize, close. If I click on command bar, it just puts a checkmark next to it and I am not sure what happens from there. |
|
| Nov-28-12 | | chessmoron: Help>About Internet Explorer. It should have the version. |
|
Nov-28-12
 | | OhioChessFan: Here's where I have a problem with the ehow link:
<Select "Command Bar" from the context menu that appears. Choose "Manage Add-ons" from the Tools drop-down menu to open the Manage Add-ons dialog box. > I don't get a Tools drop down menu when I click on "Command Bar". It just puts a checkmark next to "Command Bar". I assume the locked toolbars is the problem, but I don't want to mess with this without some input from someone a little more tech savvy than I am. |
|
| Nov-28-12 | | crawfb5: <OCF> You should be able to identify version number under <HELP> <ABOUT INTERNET EXPLORER>. That should pop up a small window with the information. |
|
Nov-28-12
 | | OhioChessFan: I can't find a help link. I use AOL as my ISP and then open IE as my secondary source since AOL is horrible at navigating Chessgames. So I don't have the typical drop down links at the top of my IE, eg file, edit, safety, window, help, etc. |
|
| Nov-28-12 | | chessmoron: Okay, I have IE9. I right click anyway on top of the browser. I click command bar. I clicked on "Tools drop-down menu" which is between "Safety" and "Help icon" and then I choose "Manage Add-ons." |
|
Nov-28-12
 | | OhioChessFan: Maybe I need to sign out of AOL to get the Safety and Help icons to show up. Trying that. |
|
Nov-28-12
 | | OhioChessFan: All right, found the toolbar drop down and the Manage Add Ons link. Think I got this now. |
