| Posted by lorddreyfuss uskidscompute.com 5/27/2003 08:36:33 Play online chess |  Subject: KG accepted - interesting lineMessage: I have recently witnessed an interesting line in KG accepted: 1.e4,e5; 2.f4,ef4; 3.Nf3,Se7!?; 4.d4,Sg6 with interesting game... I play exclusively Sicilian as Black, and always 2.Nf3 as White, but still I would be interested to know what people here think of this variation? Thanx! :) |
| Posted by verticalchess uskidscompute.com 5/27/2003 17:09:32 Play online chess | Message: Black is losing tempo by moving the Knight twice. In this variation white has complete control of the center with move in hand. Black will have to play aggressively to equalize the position. |

| Posted by verticalchess uskidscompute.com 5/27/2003 17:41:44 Play online chess | Message: I assume its a Knight since the moves were e7 and g6 - what does it stand for though? |
| Posted by dorisia uskidscompute.com 5/27/2003 18:44:30 Play online chess | S Message: Springer in German, skoczek in Polish, but lorddreyfuss, who is from Croatia, had probably skakac in mind. |
| Posted by loreta uskidscompute.com 5/27/2003 20:57:47 Play online chess | Notation Message: Yep, multilanguage confuss. I see I ofter do mistakes in notation too - I had written B (Bogstas)- for Rook, R (Rikis) for Bishop -- and Knight could be Z (Zirgas) :-) |
| Posted by silverwolfwsc uskidscompute.com 5/27/2003 21:41:45 Play online chess | S Message: I figured it stood for something, but i couldnt figure out why move 3 for white was Nf3 and for black was Se7. Maybe the white player was speaking english and the other German eh? |
| Posted by lorddreyfuss uskidscompute.com 5/27/2003 23:55:11 Play online chess | Khm... :) Message: My mistake!!! In Croatia the notation is the same as in Germany and stands for: K=kralj (king) D=dama (queen) T=top (rook) L=lovac (bishop) S=skakac (knight) Very sorry for the mistake, I was in a hurry so I wasn't concentrated enough! :) Regarding the variation, actually I thought that it is playable! White will probably have to play something like 0-0, Nc3, Ne2 to take the pawn, which gives Black time for c6+d5 and after this maybe also Bd6 with stubborn defence of f4. What do others think? |
| Posted by caldazar uskidscompute.com 5/28/2003 00:50:29 Play online chess | Message: White is not going to make a serious effort to try to recover the pawn; it takes too much effort and since Black has spent some time knight hopping, White is probably better off just developing quickly and trying to take advantage of Black's slow play. 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 Ne7 4. d4 Ng6 (4... d5 is a more typical try) 5. h4: 5... d5 6. h5 dxe4 7. hxg6 exf3 8. gxf7+ Kxf7 9. Bc4+ and 10. Qxf3 looks rather promising for White. 5... h5 6. Nc3 c6 7. Bd3 and White has decent play for the pawn. (6... Bb4 7. Bc4 c6 8. O-O is more of the same, trying to gain a large lead in development). I think Black simply loses too much time hopping his knight around only to have it become the target as soon as it arrives on g6. |
| Posted by raimon uskidscompute.com 5/28/2003 01:48:30 Play online chess | I don't play 1....e5 Message: so I'm probably not much use to you, but I did play this through out of interest and there are a couple of things that could stand being put to the test (if they haven't already) I agree with caldazar that a king's gambit player is not going to be at all concerned about winning back the pawn - so long as he can get good play for his pieces and open lines. After 5.h4, I believe that 5.....h5 is necessary, so after 6.Nc3 instead of playing 6....c6 which loses more time, black should probably develop a piece with 6....Be7 and if 7.Nd5 then I think that black instead of taking the pawn on h4 with either the knight or the bishop should instead play 7.....d6 which to me looks like a position that might contain good prospects for both defence and counterplay. |

Chess news: Alien vs. chess predator -- A bitter political fight between the eccentric, alien-spotting president of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilymuzhinov, and legendary chess champion Anatoly Karpov is splitting the chess world in two. The row over who will lead the World Chess Federation is also creating a schism in Russian chess circles, with both men claiming the support of the national federation – and both bringing in some unlikely heavyweight hitters to support their cause. In Ilyumzhinov’s corner is Kremlin economic aide Arkady Dvorkovich, the chairman of the Russian Chess Federation, while backing Karpov is his longtime rival for the world chess crown, Garry Kasparov – the strongest chess player of all time and now an outspoken ... Final Four at U.S. Chess Championship Is Set -- Holding true to form, the top four players in the U.S. Chess Championship, based on their pre-tournament ratings, qualified for the final on Thursday. They will play a mini-tournament amongst themselves, with each player facing each of the other competitors once, to determine a chess champion. The other 20 players in the chess championship will continue in their Swiss system tournament for another two rounds. They will essentially be playing for places fifth through twenty-fourth. The four finalists — Hikaru Nakamura, Gata Kamsky, Alexander Onischuk and Yuri Shulman — each scored five points in their first seven games and they did it in the same way: They beat most ... In High-Stakes Chess, Rivals Can Suddenly Become Allies -- When it comes to strange bedfellows, politics has nothing on chess. The sight last week of Garry Kasparov at a New York City fund-raiser for his longtime rival Anatoly Karpov, who is running for president of the World Chess Federation, was odd enough. Then there was Viswanathan Anand’s revelation in an interview that Kasparov had given him advice and looked over some of his openings before and during his victorious world chess championship match against Veselin Topalov. Kasparov and Anand also have a history of rivalry, and they competed for the world chess championship in 1995, a match that Kasparov won. Kasparov once even dismissed Anand as a “coffeehouse player.” ... | |
