 | | Open Defence: is a burma shave something like a brazilian wax? |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | fab4: <Madlydeeply :Frankly i don't know what Carlsen's style is at all i must have a blind spot.> I would say going on the recent Amber tournament that Carlsen's 'style' is similar to Fischer's but more computer orientated/influenced. And ofcourse with different opening choices. Fischer was considered to play 'like a computer', before computers could play lol... Top GM's now are incredibly influenced by silicon. |

| Jun-10-11 | | TheFocus: LORD -
Is I bow my head to pray, I just want to say
Thank you for Brazilian women,
And the fact that they have the greatest butts in the world, That they are incredibly beautiful,
And the fact that they wax.
Oh, and, thank you for beer.
And cigars.
AMEN
I remember Valeria and how well she looked after waxing. Memories are made of this. I will die a happy man. |

<Master Moves #13
10.06.2011 – All the deepest plans or endgame technique are useless if you fall victim to a shot that leaves you in a lost position. Likewise, sometimes that superior play will only offer a single window of opportunity to deliver that final blow, so it is vital to be ready for it when it does. <<<All the positions are from the 2011 French League Championship. Time to bodybuild the brain!>>>> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... |

| Jun-11-11 | | Travis Bickle: Jess those 2 Paul Macca songs I sent ya were from Sir Paul's 2005 album 'Chaos & Creation In The Backyard'. In case you missed it on my Forum here is 1 more, I love the accoustic playing on this song. This tune is a follow up to 'Blackbird' Paul did with The Beatles in '68. Jenny Wren

| Jun-11-11 | | achieve: <Jess> wonderful work you're doing, also by linking to other people's wonderful work, like <KC>'s Project NAKA. Tks! And I thought you might find this position interesting, 11.Bf1-d3 : 
click for larger viewLooks like a winning lead in development, at least it's huge, but for.... Black in some lines is able to "live"... Giri played a variation of this the other day vs <Nils Grandelius> at <Stigeman>, and won in some style as white. Ok It's a branch of an English Mikenas Carlsbad variation, in which Black has chosen for the "little played" <Nc6> development (which to me feels awkward for several reasons, and Korchnoi whupped some booty winning in 22. I took a good look at this extremely instructional bit of Opening Theory, themes, and sharp rebuttals of seemingly harmless, good, but careless moves. First havalook at this with "Steinitzian Eyes" following a nice sharp Opening Argument, very recognizable too from Indian, as well as "open" games: 1. c4 Nf6 2. Nc3 e6 3. e4 d5 4. e5 d4 5. exf6 dxc3 6. bxc3 Qxf6 7. Nf3 <Nc6> 
click for larger view Looks odd, eh? Except when you aim to apply immediate counter pressure by a ferocious e-pawn advance to <e5>, looking for potential Bishop or Knight-blood on <e4>... If not then this Knight movement to <c6> and back to <b8> makes little sense. As you van see from Diagram #1, ...e5 was met by d4-d5, forcing the knight to move back, and followed by a "free" developing move, Bf1-d3, as it attacks the Queen Mother and says: "hush now, baby, MOVE IT!" At that point there are three consistent moves:
A) f5
B) e4!?
C) Bf5 (a main line; it's in the OE)
Interestingly, both my A) and B) are not to be found in the OE. Running a big engine on this and fleshing out why is where I'm at now. But over an hour of analysis leeds me to believe that both "my" alternatives, - 11 f5 and 11 e4 -, are stronger than "Book." What do you think? (If you have time, of course..) |
|
| Jun-11-11 | | achieve: In addition, moves 8-11 following the 1. c4 Nf6 2. Nc3 e6 3. e4 d5 4. e5 d4 5. exf6 dxc3 6. bxc3 Qxf6 7. Nf3 <Nc6>-line: 8. d4 e5 9. Bg5 Qg6 10. d5 Nb8 11. Bd3 ...proceeding to that first FEN position:
BONUS FEN
click for larger view We know we like FENs, let's not deny it, hehe.
But really exceptionally sharp and, as Black, harrowing stuff. |
|
Jun-11-11
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Doctor> you better believe it, and we like the sharp FENS best of all. Great to see NEDERLANDER <Anish "The Guru" Gir> back in action and full of beans too. I'll tackle your analysis tomorrow for breakfast when I can do it justice. I'm trying to finish something fast because we're supposed to go over to friends for dinner tonight. |

| Jun-11-11 | | achieve: Sounds like very enjoyable evening to me!
My day has just kicked off. Btw I may add a third post but just to clarify and correct what I wrote, small addition, that will I think make it easier for you as well. |

| Jun-11-11 | | crawfb5: <N> Too early for me to think about positions too deeply. I may even go back to bed for an hour or so, but here are two games with 11...f5 for your consideration:

| Jun-11-11 | | achieve: <L> You have amazing resources! tks! Hope you have a deserved good saturday-nap and can weigh in your opinion if you like... <Jess> First, I slipped in a huge <Germanism> here: "Black has <chosen for> the little played" - aahhh. gone for, or chosen. Also, "main line" was a bit too much, since those <two> 11 Bf5 games are the <only ones> in the OE. Just them two. Having deepened some of my research and going back to the position after 1. c4 Nf6 2. Nc3 e6 3. e4 d5 4. e5 d4 5. exf6 dxc3 6. bxc3 Qxf6 7. Nf3 ... it occurred to me that an e-pawn advance to <e5> might be best timed immediately, and indeed I checked the OE and it has been played by world class players, eg Petrosian. <Grandelius> played 7...b6 against Anish - which also looks better than ...Nc6. I have a special variation prepared for my B) 11...e4 (following the 11 Bd3 line, see Fen #1) attempt, of which I'm pretty sure that it is playable, and some ultra sharp stuff which is highly entertaining ensues. Ok then - just rambling on a bit but it *is* useful instructional stuff, when you start analysing to what extents early Queen excursions -and in this example (FEN 1) leading enormous apparent disadvantages in development- *are*, in fact, questionable lines that "ought" to be avoided. Btw I have that familiar, almost nostalgic, feeling again when we used to study chess and banter in the weekend, esp on saturday... We've had - both here and at The Center - quite some interesting study sessions over the years. Quite a number of them. |
