| Posted by karakoram uskidscompute.com 1/18/2003 02:33:18 play online chess |  Subject: Piece offer against anti-MarschallMessage: The opening went as follows, I was black: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. 0-0 Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 0-0 8. a4 Bb7 9. c3 Te8?! 10. d4 exd4 11. e5 Ng4 12. h3 Nxf2 13. Kxf2 Bc5 Can someone analyze this position? My computer isn't able to do that well, because you have to think possibly 20 moves, to have a good endgame. The game continued: 14. Bg5 dxc3+ 15. Kf1 cxb2 16. Ra2 Be7 17. Bf4 bxa4 18. Bxa4 Bb4 19. Re3 e5 20. Nc3 Nxe5!! 21. Nxe5 Rxe5 22. Bxe5 Qg5 23. Qg4 Bxc3 24. Rxb2 Qxg4 25. hxg4 Ba6+ 26. Bb5 Bxb2 27. Bxe5 Rxe5 28. Bxb2 d6 end the engame became a draw. I know the last couple of moves at both sides could have been better, but it happened. |

Message: Put a link to the game so people are able to view the moves for themselves instead of having to memorise it in thier minds. Then I am sure you will get an answer to your question! nightwalker |

White can answer ...d6 by e6, and Black doesn't really have any other attacking moves. It looks like the position is about equal except white is up a piece :) If I'm missing something, please point it out. |

| Posted by caldazar uskidscompute.com 1/19/2003 22:59:28 play online chess | Message: I agree with atrifix; White is simply a piece. After 14. Kf1, White is threatening the simple 15. cxd4. 14... d6 fails to 15. e6, 14... dxc3 fails to 15. Nxc3 (if you're poor at tactics or really love bishops) or 15. Bxf7+ Kxf7 16. Qd5+. 14... bxa4 15. Rxa4 doesn't change matters much and practically everything else Black can play fails to 15. cxd4. Well, I suppose 14... Na5 can be met by 15. Bc2, but 15. cxd4 is fine here too. |

Chess news: The checkmate club -- The University of Maryland, Baltimore County may not be the football and basketball powerhouse that its much larger sibling at College Park is, but when it comes to fielding world-class chess contenders, watch out. Its players' victory in the Final Four over three Texas teams at the national college chess championships in Brownsville over the weekend — the sixth chess championship the school has brought home during the last 10 years — is about as good as it gets. The team itself embodies in microcosm the ethic of excellence that UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski III has tirelessly promoted for the entire school and its programs during the last ... Robot chess opponent -- Hopefully Dennis who is playing with a a robotic arm as his chess opponent has not input the necessary code to have the arm reach over and choke the life out of him should he win the chess match. The Lynxmotion AL5A robotic arm is, after all, full well capable of plucking each chess piece and moving it to the next space. This is made possible thanks to a Python script Dennis himself created to process the moves and decide on the next move. A webcam is used to capture the location of the desired pieces on the chess board in order to help it in its task. ... Final two rounds produce an exciting climax to the German chess league -- Russia's national chess league may be the strongest in the world but Germany's Bundesliga runs it close and its media profile is far higher. The final two rounds last weekend began with Baden-Baden and Solingen on 24 points from 13 matches, Werder Bremen 23 and Mulheim 20. Baden-Baden is the cash-rich team and even boasts the world chess champion, Vishy Anand, and world No1, Magnus Carlsen in its squad, though the Indian has played only two games and the Norwegian none. But the active regulars are so strong that Michael Adams, the England No1, plays only on a mid-board in the eight-man team. Werder Bremen, which has links with the football club, fields ... | |
