What's going on in the middle?

Posted by fmgaijin uskidscompute.com 5/12/2006 23:39:42 Play online chess	Qxb2 is a "book" line Message: Sometimes called the "Poisoned Pawn Variation" but probably should be called the "Fischer Variation" because Fischer found most of the ideas that keep Black afloat. It is a risky variation with LOTS of theory that Black must know before venturing into it, and both Black and White walk a fine line as a result--lots of short wins and losses on both sides. Fischer even played it twice vs. Spassky in their first match, drawing the first from a winning position and losing badly in the second.
Posted by ionadowman uskidscompute.com 5/13/2006 02:03:16 Play online chess	Put simply... Message: ... White offers the pawn for quick development and a quick and strong attack. Black takes it, reckoning he's got enough to survive the attack and then win the ending with a better pawn formation and extra pawn. The jury, apparently, is still out on this... Cheers, Ion
Posted by zhnkiu uskidscompute.com 5/15/2006 13:03:11 Play online chess	Message: Aye, devious indeed for that. Maybe I'm being a little hard-headed: what would happen after 26...Be2?

Chess news: Rising Chess Stars Win NH Chess Tournament -- In the end, youth was served, but barely. The NH tournament in the Netherlands ended Sunday in victory for the young team of “rising stars.” They edged the “experience” team 26 to 24. Last year the experience team won, 27.5 to 22.5. The chess tournament was organized under the Scheveningen system in which the members of each group play all the members of the other group twice. The top players for the rising stars were Hikaru Nakamura of the United States and Anish Giri of the Netherlands, who each scored 6 points. Giri was ahead of Nakamura before the last round, but he lost to Peter Heine Nielsen of Denmark, while Nakamura drew with Boris Gelfand of Israel, the top-ranked chess ... Dmitry Andreikin wins world junior title -- The 49th World Junior Chess Championship ended Monday in Chotowa, Poland. Every country was invited to send its best young chess players, born in 1990 or later. The record field of 120 players, representing 55 countries, included 20 grandmasters and 34 IMs. Russian chess grandmasters Dmitry Andreikin, age 20, and Sanan Sjugirov, 17, shared first place with scores of 10-3. On tiebreak, Andreikin wins the gold medal. Andreikin had played in four previous World Juniors, with a best result of fourth place in 2007. This year, he was rated highest at 2650 and went undefeated despite facing eight GMs. Sjugirov won the most games (eight) but suffered one upset. Four chess players tied for ... A Nimble Chess Artist -- The former U.S. chess champion Hikaru Nakamura is fast. The quicker the pace on the chess board, the more he seems to enjoy playing. His nimble skills helped him to secure a place for the next traditional Amber tournament, a blindfold and rapid chess extravaganza played every spring on the French Riviera. Competing at the NH tournament in Amsterdam, Nakamura, 22, led the Rising Stars to a 26-24 victory over the chess veterans, the Experience team, on Sunday. Another member of the winning team, the young Dutch champion Anish Giri, 16, had an identical 6-4 score as Hikaru, but only one could qualify for the Amber tournament. In the blitz playoff, Nakamura defeated Giri 2-0, ensuring ...
