I see that you've been playing a lot of chess games on the net. It's high time you started playing some OTB chess. |

But my time will come again. One more year here and then it's off to a country where they play chess. Too bad you guys already speak English or I could come to Oz!! |

| May-04-08 | | notyetagm: Mamedyarov vs Bacrot, 2008 Position after 70 ... ♔c6-b6
click for larger viewMamedyarov's (White's) next two moves provide a clinic on the tactic <OVERWORKED (DEFLECTION)>. First Mamedyarov played 71 ♘e6-c5!, based on the simple <DEFLECTION> idea that the White c5-knight is taboo because the Black b6-king must <DEFEND> the a7-square from the advance of the White a6-pawn. That is, 71 ... ♔b6x♘c5?? <deflection from a7> 72 a6-a7  . Position after 71 ♘e6-c5!
click for larger view(VAR) Position after 71 ... ♔b6x♘c5?? <deflection from a7> 72 a6-a7
click for larger viewSo Black did not capture the White c5-knight and instead played 71 ... ♖g8-d8, to keep the White c5-knight out of d7 where it controls the b8-promotion square. Position after 71 ... ♖g8-d8
click for larger viewThen Mamedyarov played 72 ♘c5-d7+!, -again- based on the simple <DEFLECTION> idea that the White d7-knight is taboo because the Black d8-rook must <DEFEND> the b8-promotion square. That is, 72 ... ♖d8x♘d7?? <deflection from b8> 72 b7-b8=♕+. Position after 72 ♘c5-d7+!
click for larger view(VAR) Position after 72 ... ♖d8x♘d7?? <deflection from b8> 72 b7-b8=♕+

Glad I could help and beat wannabe (for once) at a computer-related thing! xD |

| May-06-08 | | notyetagm: Carlsen vs H A Gretarsson, 2003 White to play: 32 ?
click for larger view<patzer2: The winning 32. Bg6+! is a stunning deflection move by the young Carlsen. The capture of the bishop is forced.> Position after 32 ♗e4-g6+! 1-0
click for larger view<If 32...Kxg6 33. Qh5#,> (VAR) Position after 32 ... ♔f7x♗g6 33 ♕c5-h5#
click for larger view<and if 32...Rxg6 33. Qe7#. > (VAR) Position after 32 ... ♖g7x♗g6 33 ♕c5-e7#
click for larger viewSo 32 ♗e4-g6+! leads to two -different- <EPAULETTE MATES>! This Carlsen is really something else: he was only 12(!)-years old when he played this game! Holy criminy! |

| May-06-08 | | Red October: long live the <KING'S INDIAN> 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 Nbd7 6.Be2 0-0 7.0-0 e5 8.Be3 c6 9.d5 c5 10.Ne1 Ne8 11.Nd3 Nb6 12.b3 f5 FEN:

| May-09-08 | | achieve: Let the <FESTIVITIES> begin!! Very beautiful technique shown here by <Stop! in the name of Love> (dum dee dee dum) -- Aronian vs Topalov, 2008 at <Mmmm-Tel> yesterday... I played on against my engine from where Aronian resigned after move 60... Now, in this position
click for larger view everyone would play 1...g5 BUT
There are some subtleties involved here, and in Chess you cannot take anything for granted... OK - granted - g5 wins also, but I intuitively felt <1...g6> -- to be the better move regarding <TIMING> - oddly enough --- Point being that ...g6 allows Black to play 2...Kf3 - immediately after - making the Black win almost a stroll in the park -- IE -- when eg in Zeitnot, it plays the easiest... On topa that, it allows some intricate ♘-maneuvres. Anyway a good game to play through if you have the time. |

| May-09-08 | | Open Defence: more on the King's Indian
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 O-O 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O Nbd7 8. Qc2 FEN: 
click for larger view8.Qc2 probably is the most testing for Black, and White will get some advantage out of this, but after 8...Re8 when I think 9.Be3 is best for White,
9. Be3 exd4 10. Nxd4 c6 11. Rad1 Qe7 12. f3 d5 FEN: 
click for larger viewOpening Explorer 8...Re8
|
|
| May-09-08 | | Open Defence: 8...exd4 9.Nxd4 Qe7 is interesting and unclear, seems worth a serious try, might give it a go |
|
| May-09-08 | | Open Defence: but 8...exd4 9.Nxd4 Nc5 saves a tempo for Black, interesting, needs more work |
|
| May-09-08 | | Boomie: <Open Defence: more on the King's Indian> One wonders if there is a Freudian aspect to you interest in the KID. Are you with opening? |
|
| May-09-08 | | Boomie: <JessArooo> I uncorked a howler at chez Mentel just for you but you vanished mysteriously. |
|
| May-09-08 | | Open Defence: a sample line,
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 Nbd7 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O O-O 8. Qc2 exd4 9. Nxd4 Nc5 Now say
10. Bg5 Ne6 11. Nxe6 Bxe6 12. f3 c6 13. Qd2 Qa5 14. Rfd1 Bxc4 15. Bxc4 Qc5+ 16. Be3 Qxc4 17. Qxd6 Rfe8 18. Rd4 Qe6 19. Qxe6 Rxe6 
click for larger viewI'd say slight advantage for White due to the K side majority of 4 vs 3 though after an eventual f5 this will be a 3 vs 2 but with shattered pawns for Black on the K side, this seems to be slightly in White's favour but I have won from similar positions as Black due to technique like keeping my Rooks active etc of course in such a long line there are bound to be improvements |

| May-09-08 | | achieve: <Jess> from my previous FEN 1...g5 was of course also winning very quickly because after 2.Bf6 - the Black King cannot afford to move to h3 or f3
click for larger view but the pawnpush 2...f3 and after 3.Ke3 (what I tried to prevent with 1...g6 and 2...Kf3) just play 3...f2 and there is the Knight-fork on e4... 
click for larger viewWhat a BUMMER if you're blitzing and think you might have had the draw... With the Bishop on eg e7 this is a whole difrent story. With tactics covering your back so to speak everything is obviously just fine. Anyhoo -- I just thought I'd post this for the sake of completeness- and it's funny to see the Knight functioning so well in holding off the King from squares e2&e4 as well as its typical forkings that seem to come out of the blue sometimes... And I like posting FENs! |

| May-09-08 | | Boomie: <jessicafischerqueen: FOUND IT'1 Boomie: <jessicafischerqueen: ath the old french ploy> I hear the Evil Chucky gives good French.> I'll do anything to get a "Heh" from my queen. Loads of fun playing with you again. <I stayed up all night for that joke.> Straight line in your wheelhouse there. |

| May-09-08 | | Red October: < Boomie: <Open Defence: more on the King's Indian> One wonders if there is a Freudian aspect to you interest in the KID. Are you with opening? > Freudian Slip ? |
|
| May-09-08 | | achieve: OK - ...g5 2 Bf6 <Kf5> is of course the easiest <extremely simple> win... DOOOOOOOHH!!
Consider my series of posts on this stupid endgame as one of the silliest I've ever posted. Chucky remains one of the most enigmatic figures in Chess, eh? Now I hope he wins it. |

| May-09-08 | | Red October: <Boomsta> but was he good with guns ? you know things that go Boom in the night ? |
|
| May-09-08 | | Red October: <10. Bg5 Ne6 11. Nxe6 Bxe6> now White can improve say with 12.Qd2! where c6 would be inaccurate (as the d6 pawn would then be very weak) so better than 10...Ne6 maybe 10...h6 11.Be3 Ng4 and after 12.Bxg4 Bxg4 13.f3 Bd7 14.Nd5 c6 15.Nf4 we have the two Bishops but White has more space and pressure on g6, but this looks temporary and the Knight on f4 can be exchanged off with Ne6 This variation does not seem to follow the typical KID type formation (like in this line we did not get counter play with f5, but that makes it harder for White to decide where his pieces go too), seems like a more positional line than a tactical line |

| May-10-08 | | Boomie: <Red October: <Boomsta> but was he good with guns ? you know things that go Boom in the night ?> He smote 'em with a mace like a real man, not some pansy drive by poofta. |
