For anyone wondering why BL did not play 7...Ne4 to play against the pin on c3; I imagine it was because in doing so WT could easily make him trade off that Knight (EG 8.Bd2 or the gambit 8.o-o!?) which was already the only piece he had to act as defender of his King side. Indeed the position resulting after elimination of that knight is a classic attacking position for WT, with sacrifice potential as well, if BL were to o-o into it. [If you haven't seen it before or very similar, then this definitely is one to learn.] and the thought of becoming K-stranded in the center must have occurred to him. The trouble is tho, 7...Bxc3 is not much better. BL is still short of effective K-side defenders. I liked the way you did not allow him to divert you from the attack when he offered you a pawn on e4 to BxNe4/ fxBe4 Qxe4, but instead made the en passant capture, saving the tempo you needed to play Ba3 next. [Another classic attack position!] I think that move locked in the win; and the Cross-X Mate with Bishops aor Q was nicely done. We don't get to see many of those in actual play ... Congratulations on your miniature~! Regards, Craig A.C. }8-) |

Chess news: Modern Chess Players Prove Bobby Fischer Was Wrong -- Bobby Fischer once famously remarked that "chess is dead". What he meant was that so much had been discovered about the game of chess that creativity and innovation were waning. Chess players are certainly better prepared than ever because databases and computers are widely used to analyze and dissect openings. Players can sometimes reel off 20 or more moves before they leave their preparation. That seems to have sucked the life out of some chess openings. Most top players know a couple of lines in the Petroff Defense through more than 20 moves, and it is not uncommon for them to play that out and agree to a draw, if that is the result they want. But there are ... Magnus Carlsen joins Vladimir Kramnik -- Vladimir Kramnik had to engineer an escape from a difficult endgame as Alexey Shirov brought the former world chess champion to the brink of defeat at Wijk aan Zee. Shirov remains half a point behind Kramnik and world number one Magnus Carlsen with two to play. Carlsen defeated Lenier Dominguez, somewhat fortuitously, to join Kramnik on 7.5/11. Carlsen has the easier finish as Kramnik must play black against Vishy Anand in the penultimate game. Carlsen faces Peter Leko with black and teenager Fabiano Caruana with white. ... Carlsen Conquers Corus -- With a bit of luck and nerves of steel, Magnus Carlsen of Norway, the world’s top-ranked chess player, won the annual Corus chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, which ended Sunday. Carlsen finished with a score of 8.5 points out of 13, a half point ahead of Vladimir Kramnik of Russia and Alexei Shirov of Spain. Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Hikaru Nakamura of the United States, were tied for fourth and fifth, another half point back. The chess tournament is named after the Dutch company, which is the second largest steel producer in Europe, according to the company’s Web site. The tournament is one of the highlights of the year ... | |
