I feel this is a losing move, in a GMgame that chessbase has Qe7 was played, it ended in a win for white. 13. Qc4! I'm certain this is a won position for white. I didn't find the best continution obviously (still can't). 15. Nf5+ Maybe this was THE error. I overlooked the clever Nxc2+ with Ne3 as following. 17. Ne6? Seals the deal. Everything after this point is just me desperatly trying to find a repeatable draw somewhere, but with accurate play I know that it is futile. --------------- I'd like someone to use a program to see if there really was a mate or if my feelings deceived me and also, if not, make some specified comments about the further development of the game. Values at some of the moves from chessbase or whatever would also be nice, but not a "must". Thank you, Brilliance. | ||||||||||

RB: Continuing our series of What's the Correct Defence? I puzzled over this for a long, long time before conceding defeat. Had I been playing Black here, the fight would have gone out of me and I would already have mentally resigned. I don't see how Black can escape the unpleasantness that is bound to follow White's obvious next move – 1 Nc3. The boot remains on the other foot this week, so over to Dan. DK: This looks miserable: White's central pawns dominate and the pin on the b-file is really uncomfortable. OK, down to business. First, I need to establish just how bad things are. What's ...

Carlsen had White. Carlsen played very oddly and soon had a difficult position. He then blundered and resigned a few moves later. Afterward, he posted a message on his Twitter account: “Always nice to confirm that I’m still capable of blundering a piece in one move!” Giri now has 2 points and is tied for second with Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia. They all trail Hikaru Nakamura of the United States, who ... Posted by brilliance | uskidscompute.com 2/09/2006 11:41:15 Play online chess ...Message: 17. d3 Qg8 18. Ne6+ Ne3+ 19. Bxe3+ Qg5 20.

Qg3# ——— Four Lead Tata Steel Chess Tournament — After an exciting start Saturday in the elite section of the Tata Steel chess tournament in the Netherlands, Round 2 on Sunday was much tamer. Only one of the seven games was decisive — a victory by Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia over Wang Hao of China — and it was not even the most interesting game of the round. That distinction went to a wild dual between Anish Giri and Jan Smeets, two Dutch grandmasters, whose game ended in a draw. The most eagerly anticipated game was undoubtedly between Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Vladimir Kramnik of Russia, his predecessor. Anand brilliantly beat Kramnik in a 2008 title match and ... Posted by mattdw | uskidscompute.com 2/09/2006 12:09:24 Play online chess Message: Brilliance, regarding the moves you mentioned, Fritz says. 11...Be7 was a mistake, it gives white the advantage of 3.90 pawns up from 0.59 pawns. It doesn't say much else but I guess it is simply because the bishop is pinned, the threat of the knight fork and mate after Qc4 means the eventual loss of blacks Knight. 13. Qc4 was the best move given by Fritz, like I mentioned above double attack on the knight and a mate threat wins material (though I'm sure you know this!). 14...Kg7 at this point Fritz says you have a mate in 11 possible with 15.Nf5+ being the correct continuation. 17. Ne6? was the error, it puts you from a mate in 9 position to behind by 4.66 pawns according to fritz. The mate from move 17 should have followed: 17. d3 Ne3+ 18. Bxe3 Qg8 19. Ne6+ Qg5 20. Bxg5 fxg5 21. h4 dxe6 22. hxg5+ Kxg5 23. Qg7+ Kf4 24. Qg3# I hope that's of some help, I've uploaded the .pgn to here---> -> s10.yousendit.com ——— Meteoric Rise for One Who Had Turned Away — Chess players earn ratings through their performances, and the easiest way to gauge improvement is to chart a rating over time. Ratings usually rise gradually as a player gets better. The exceptions involve young chess players whose ratings have not caught up to their development. Matthew Herman, a 24-year-old American, would seem to be an even bigger exception. For many years, Herman’s international rating was 2,149, the level of a candidate master, because he rarely played and almost never entered tournaments sanctioned by the World Chess Federation. But late last year, after competing in five tournaments, his rating jumped to 2,392. He also fulfilled two-thirds of ...

Short has the prestige of a player who met Garry Kasparov for the world title and won a match against Anatoly Karpov in the Russian's best years. He has built a reputation as an outspoken, energetic and entertaining personality who is popular with ordinary amateurs and who at the board is ready to use offbeat gambits. He has coached rising talents and given exhibitions in Third World countries. At present Short is in something of a form crisis after finishing last at the London Chess Classic and ...
