| Jan-13-06 | | RonB52734: Ok, I'll post the move |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: Yes, us playing 7...e6 looks pretty good with most of white's moves. I am not crazy about g6. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | JoeWms: <WannaBe> If I kill all the posts in the <JoeWms> forum forest, resulting in no link, no presence, does that mean I be no more? Please poke a post in me to see if I'm alive. BTW, the clean up and start over was necessary. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | RonB52734: I find it useful, when time is available, to imagine my longer-term goals -- moves I will want to make at the appropriate times, places I want my pieces to be. I envision our Q on c7, and our dark B on d6. If we can knock off their f3 N, or move our N to g4, we'd have a lot pointing at h2. I envision our a and b pawns posted as in the Najdorf, and our light B on b7. And we want a R on the c-file as soon as reasonably possible. From their point of view, after we play ...e6, either one of our Ns can be pinned, given where our Royalty lives right now. This could make an eventual white pawn push to e5 a little challenging for us. Expect a short castle, and a B on g5 (falling back to h4). Right now, the B on c4 and the King's rook are loose. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: Yes, it is always good to have a plan, but one has to stay flexible and be willing to change plans if necessary based on the opponent's moves. I see no immediate threats from white in this position. My plan is something like e6, Be7, 0-0, a6, b5, etc., but I realize those moves also depend on what white does. This variation gives us a pawn for white's lead in development. So we slowly have to catch up in development while keeping a watch for tactical shots by white. We should eventually catch up in development and thus have a better game because of our material advantage. Just my thoughts on this variation and position. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | RonB52734: <Robin01> I agree precisely. <stay flexible and be willing to change plans if necessary> ... and when opportunities arise. I think of long-term planning as a background against which analysis of actual position is made. No more. <Team> I have a suggestion. Given the way I work, this would aid me. It may not help you. And it would really only aid me on work days, not on weekends. Here is the suggestion: We swap email addresses. The first person to notice that white has made a move can email the others. This could cut down on the time it takes us to assemble here, discuss, and vote. To maximize privacy, I would be willing to post my email address here. You could then email me and thus your addresses wouldn't appear on the site. My email address is heavily virus- and spam- protected, so I'm not worried about publishing it. Just a random thought. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: I'll have to think on it. I'm not sure I want my e-mail address to get out by mistake and then I start receiving some of the juke that I see appearing on this site at times. Also, I have two e-mail addresses, one for work and one for home, so if I'm not at work, or the other way around, then I would not be receiving the e-mails anyway. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: It seems to work okay that we appear here when we can, and then post our analysis and our recommendation for a move. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: I posted a question on the main page about a pass day if not enough members were present to give a move. I have not seen an answer on that yet. Let's see what we get on that. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: Sorry if I'm rambling on too much here. |
|
Jan-13-06
 | | WannaBe: <Robin01> No you're not. Do not worry. (What me Worry?! =) |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: I'm not sure we should be allowed into their discussions, as they should not also be allowed into ours. I do not know what rules <me to play> has decided on regarding this. Personally, I really do not want to know what they are discussing, because it might influence me, perhaps wrongly. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: Mad Magazine is great! |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | NakoSonorense: It's sure to say that white's next move will be 7.0-0, so we also have to start preparing castling. I vote for 7...e6 7... g6 sounds good too, but I'm not too sure about having our bishop there because white is ahead in development and we need to get our pieces out as soon as possible... What do you guys think? |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: I think e6 is looking pretty good for our next move, but we need to wait to see what white does. Maybe they will lose it and play Qxd6, and then e6 would not be good :') |
|
Jan-13-06
| | WannaBe: I anticipate e5 or 0-0.
If 0-0, I prefer e6, probably followed by Be7 and our own 0-0. If e5 I can see queen exchange after dxe5 and either retake with knight or lose castling with king take. The e5 line can get pretty tricky by move 9/10. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | NakoSonorense: Hey, did you guys read that? the knightmates want to change one of their team member with adrianp. It's fine with me, as long as adrianp's rating is below 1300. :) I'm kidding. There' not problem with me. |
|
Jan-13-06
| | WannaBe: Yes, I read that. That's one vote for OK. I'll with-hold my vote until last. Need to think 'bout this. I personally have no issues with it. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | me to play: <Robin01: Question: If our team cannot get, let's say, 3 votes on a move due to someone being away for a day, can we like get a pass day or do we just have to make a move based on the players available?> At least one move a day is the goal...but if a team really has a problem fielding a representative number of players, It's ok to "pass". But I can't forsee a lot of situations where a move can't be posted in a 24hr period. And if it happens...so what..this is not The FIDE World Team Championship. Just a fun game........TO THE DEATH !! :) :) :) |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: I really do not have a problem with the white team adding a player. |

We have to be careful here. Obviously we cannot take that pawn with either the knight our our own pawn because it would lead to a horrible position. If 7...Nxe5, then 8.Nxe5 dxe5?? 9.Bxf7+ Kxf7 10.Qxd8 [out of the question!] If 7...dxe5, then 8.Qxd8 Nxd8 9.Nxe5 and our position does not look good at all. If 8...Kxd8, then 9.Ng5 threating to fork the king and the rook, which is very possible with that bishop on c4. So, I think we have to options: 7...Nd7 or Ng4. I don't like Ng4 because then they can push the h-pawn and the knight wd have to go to h6, which can be taken with the bishop. Our best shot is <7...Nd7> What do you think?

| Jan-13-06 | | NakoSonorense: my goodness! I'd never analyzed a game so deeply in my life! :) |
|
Jan-13-06
| | WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Yes, I agree with you. I need to look at this on a 'real' board and play some lines. In my previous post, I also mentioned that e5 may lead to complication(s) by move 9/10. =) Good job on the analysis by the way.
So far, we have <NakoSonorense> as no problem w/ replacement, and <Robin01> as having problem. Let's see what <sitzkrieg> and <RonB52734> have to say. We have 21 hrs to respond. (right now, almost 5 PM Pacific time.) |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: I have no problem with a replacement. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | Robin01: I analyzed the line of 7...Nd7; 8.exd6, Nb6 possibly followed by a recapture for us, after they move the bishop, of exd6. |
