But what exactly is it about the Najdorf move order that makes the Keres attack unplayable. Or, in other words, which Najdorf movemakes which Keres move unplayable? |

I had read that Kasparov doesn't particularly like facing the Keres so that he employs the Najdorf move order until White commits to a development scheme." We can find anything about chess on the web, and "chess.analysis" Google Group is a GOOD ONE! /matta ——— Gibraltar win puts Michael Adams back on top of the British pack — Last autumn Michael Adams lost the England No1 chess spot for the first time for a decade when his below-par results coincided with Nigel Short's purple patch. Adams used to be a world top-10 chess grandmaster but his poor run also dropped his international rating below the elite GM 2700 mark. This double reverse stung the 38-year-old Cornishman into adding a more incisive touch to his strategic game and last week he triumphed at the competitive Gibtelecom Open while Short struggled against the super-GMs at Corus Wijk. The outcome is that the live daily chess ratings today show Adams back above 2700 and Short below it. The old order is restored and, since ... |

If White plays a "waiting" move such as 6.a4 then after 6... e6 the move 7.g4 doesn't look particularly good, since a4 is slightly out of place in a Kingside pawn storm; instead White should develop according to the Scheveningen schemes. Also 6.h3 followed by g4 is a loss of time. After 6.Be2 e6, it's a standard Scheveningen. If White wants to play g4, the best bet is to play 6.Be3; after the "Scheveningen" 6... e6 (instead of the "Najdorf" 6... e5) White can certainly continue with 7.g4! as has been played many times; see for instance the game Topalov-Kasparov, Moscow Olympiad 1994, won by White in 28 moves. In all Najdorf lines, if Black plays ... e5, White cannot play g4 without preparation, and it would therefore involve some loss of time; again the move 6.Be3 is a good bet to plan Kingside operations with the move g4, for instance 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.Qd2 Nbd7 9.f3 Be7 (9... b5 10.g4!?) 10.g4. ——— Blazing Baden-Baden — Michael Adams turned out for Baden-Baden in the German Bundesliga at the weekend and scored 1.5/2. His team lead the chess competition after nine of the 15 rounds with a perfect score. Baden-Baden even achieved a rare whitewash and defeated Berlin 1903 8-0. Baden-Baden’s strength is illustrated by the fact that Adams plays on board 3. Luke McShane’s Werder Bremen are in joint second place having dropped two match points. One of those was to the bottom club Erfurter SK who were out-rated by an average of over 180 points per board but managed a 4-4 draw. McShane played on chess board ... |

Since October, Carlsen has won three elite chess events plus the World Blitz Chess Championship. His latest success will boost his 2810 rating to an estimated 2814, the second highest in history. This triumph was more difficult, as first Alexey Shirov of Spain and then Vladimir Kramnik of Russia held the lead. Kramnik defeated Carlsen in the ninth round but finished weakly with three draws and a loss to world chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India. However, Carlsen rebounded with two more wins for a score of ... |
