Message: after 1.e4 e5; 2.Nf3 f6; 3.Nxe5 Qe7; 4.Nf3 Qxe4+; 5.Be2 Qf5; 6.0-0 and that white is winning with a score of +158 and that black's best move isnt 4...Qxe4+, but 4...d5; 5.d3 dxe4; 6.dxe4 Qxe4+; 7.Be2 Bf5; 8.Nd4 Nd7; 9.0-0 0-0-0 and white is winning with a score of +145 |
| Posted by anaxagoras uskidscompute.com 10/18/2003 14:54:05 play online chess | Message: I agree that 2...f6 is one of the worst defensive moves anyone could ever make after 1...e5. You may as well just give up a pawn for nothing and acheive better results. Ok kids, let's keep our mouths shut for now until his game is over, right? My one stipulation, zoobrenok, is that you have to let me talk about the moves before #25 if I say anything at all. ;-) |

Chess news: Wisdom of Chess Champions -- It is always fascinating to read what the world chess champions have to say about their clashes with other strong players and about chess in general. Last year, Russell Enterprises published two classic tournament books, using figurine algebraic notation. In "St. Petersburg 1909" the world chess champion Emanuel Lasker comments on all the games of the event, in which he shared first place with Akiba Rubinstein. Alexander Alekhine's "New York 1924" has been hailed as one of the best tournament books. It was another triumph for Lasker, in which he finished ahead of Jose Raul Capablanca and Alekhine. The book is valuable for its deep verbal annotations with ... Alexander Motylev wins Karpov tournament -- The 10th annual Karpov chess tournament ended June 12 in Poikovsky, a small city of 20,000 in western Siberia. Former world chess champion Anatoly Karpov designed this event as a 10-player round robin, and the tradition has continued as the chess tournament has gradually grown into one of the world's strongest, with an average rating of 2695. A Russian gas company helps sponsor the tournament. Alexander Motylev of Russia took first prize by defeating chief rival Vugar Gashimov of Azerbaijan in the penultimate round. Motylev scored an undefeated 7-2, while Gashimov finished second with 6-3. Alexander Onischuk of Maryland, the 2006 U.S. chess champion, scored ... Bennett and King on chess: Short-Berg, Malmö 2009 -- Black is tied down to defence, but how can White, to play, make progress? RB We've been looking at zugzwang over the last few weeks so here I'm going to imagine it's Black to move. 1...Kg8 obviously leads to disaster after 2 Re8+ Rxe8 3 Qxe8+ Kh7 4 Qd7. 1...Bh8 would allow 2 Qh3, threatening Qd7, and is also catastrophic. Nor can the queen move: after 1...Qc8, for example, 2 c7 would lead to wholesale exchanges on e8 followed by promotion of the c-pawn. That leaves the rook. Is 1...Ra8 a viable waiting move? White is clearly better but I can't see how to continue and Black's position doesn't fall apart the way it should in a zugzwang ... | |
