| Posted by spurtus uskidscompute.com 12/16/2003 05:54:27 play online chess | Message: Thanks!, Quick question on the KID, Can you/do you play it transposed starting with g6?... problem with nf6 is you can get roped into the alekhine defense, which I dont really want to play. I thought there might be a flaw in the strategy in playing it transposed?... perhaps encouraging a diagonally opposite fianchetto for the fight of the diagonal? I think g6 might give best chances of being permitted to play the KID? If you know anything please let me know. Kind regards, Spurtus. |

| Posted by spurtus uskidscompute.com 12/16/2003 08:00:51 play online chess | Message: Although fairly new to the opening, I've played the KID against e4 before, it can transpose into various recognised white assaults on the defense where e5 of the Alekhines defense is not played OR no longer such a good idea with transposition complicating the matter. *I think* I'm still unsure why pushing e5 later rather than on move 2 for white is rarely played? And I'm still unsure why e4 g6 would be a bad opening given my intentions to play the KID? I *think* thats where the timing of playing Nf6 seems crucial to deny white to make me play the Alekhines Defense and allow me to go for the Kings Indian Defense. Have I missed something? Thanks, Spurtus. |
| Posted by anaxagoras uskidscompute.com 12/16/2003 11:22:57 play online chess | Message: The KID setup vs. 1 e4 must be brought about with an early ...d6 in order to prevent White's e5 (the Alekhine defence). 1 e4 d6 2 d4 Nf6 is called the Pirc defence: e.g. 3 Nc3 g6 4 f4 is the Austrian Attack. The main difference between the KID and Pirc is that White does not play c4 in the Pirc (at least not right away). I do not practice either opening, but I can see that a person who likes one might like the other. |

Although its early days, I quite like the theory behind the lines in playing this sort of opening for black, would recommend it to a beginner ( like me! ) as its seems much easier to grasp than other openings I have investigated.

Chess news: Chess Cheats, Spies, Crooks and Commies -- Nikolai Krylenko, the Soviet Commissar of Justice and Prosecutor General, used to sentence innocent people to death in show trials in the 1930s, until he himself perished in 1938 in Stalin's Great Purge. He neglected his work by spending too much time on chess and mountain climbing, his accusers claimed. In chess, Krylenko had a vision: He wanted to export the game as part of Soviet culture and to establish Soviet domination in the chess world. He began a ruthless game, playing with human pawns -- the Soviet chess masters and champions. In 1948, Mikhail Botvinnik won the world title. The aim was achieved. Since 1931, Botvinnik was regarded as the best Soviet chess player and ... Six tie for first in U.S. Open -- The 110th U.S. Open ended in a six-way tie for first place last Sunday in Indianapolis. Chess Grandmasters Dmitry Gurevich (Illinois), Jesse Kraai (El Cerrito, Calif.), Sergey Kudrin (Connecticut) and Alex Yermolinsky (South Dakota) and International Masters Alex Lenderman (New York) and Jacek Stopa (Poland) each scored 7 1/2 -1 1/2 in the 455-player chess event. The first five earned invitations to the 2010 U.S. Chess Championship in St. Louis. Gurevich defeated Kudrin in a speed-chess playoff for the title of 2009 U.S. Open champion. Eugene Yanayt of Santa Monica was the best-scoring Southern Californian, finishing in a tie for 18th place ... Bennett and King on chess: the Scandanavian, part 4 -- Hjartason-Hansen, Reykjavik 1995. Black to play. RB I'm looking for possible threats against my queen, always something to watch out for in the Scandinavian, and I don't like that its retreat squares on the short a5-d8 diagonal are blocked by the knight on b6. That said, I can't actually see a concrete threat. For example, if I play safe with 1... 0-0, what has White got? 2 a3 Bxc3 3 Bxc3 Qb5 and the queens come off. But so what? I might not be winning but I don't think I'm losing. 1... Nbd5, facilitating the queen's retreat and blockading the d4-pawn, looks okay: after 2 Nxd5 Nxd5, White's light-squared bishop is blocked in (or has to take). I can't ... | |
