A little background stuff on the 1972 Fischer-Spasky telecast. :0)

 | | morfishine: <kb2ct> Thanks for the link! I could only get through about half but will finish later on today. :) |

 | | cro777: <kb2ct> Have you found some useful New In Chess ideas for testing? I left a message for you in your forum. |

Kingcrusher found that link by googling my real name. Fischer-Spassky was PBS's first hit program. They got thousands of protest calls when they canceled coverage to cover the Republican national convention. Apparently people thought Fischer was more important than Nixon by a wide margin :0) |

The last two volumes of the New In Chess Yearbook have an article on the advance variation of the French. I have been blunder checking for about two weeks.

| | cro777: <kb2ct> Thanks. Would you post some details in your forum. |

The articles are by Sveshnikov and involve pawn chain theory. He mentions that grandmasters are afraid of computer preparation and often play very safe and head to endings they do not understand. :0) |

 | | blue wave: I'm sure your aware. But need to take care our forums are off limits to grandmaster viewing. Otherwise ideas for next game will be wasted. |
|

| | cro777: <kb2ct> Sveshnikov is quite right. In order to create winning chances, we must be prepared to play endings. It is most useful to look at openings through endgame lenses. Having a good feel for the resulting endgames gives us a better perspective when we play the opening. Also, Sveshnikov is a great master of the Advance Variation. Is there something about the line I mentioned in your forum? |

I answered you in my forum.
I like the ending I achieved. Perhaps someone a fast computer could analyze it. :0) |

Sveshnikov does not cover meeting 6. Pa3 with Pc4 in the advance French On my forum I tried a simple piece rearrangement with moderate success. It would be nice to baptize his baby with a win for white. Fairly difficult to get a handle on I am not surprised it hasn't been found :0) |
|
Dec-29-11
| | cro777: <kb2ct> In the line 6...c4 7. Nbd2 Na5 Sveshnikov used to play <8. Be2> but later (2004) opted for <8.g3>. This move is a popular choice, putting the bishop on a more useful square than e2. |
|
| Dec-29-11 | | King Death: <cro777> The move 8.g3 is just the old main line in this sub variation. Sveshnikov's come up with a lot of interesting ideas in the openings. |

My idea evaluates twice as good.

|

| | cro777: <King Death> 8.Be2 is the most popular move here (allowing quick castling followed by Rb1 and Re1), but e2 is not the ideal square for the bishop. That's why OTB elite players like Grischuk and Movsesian lately (2010) opted for 8.g3. In correspondence chess, 8.e2 recently predominates. |
|
Dec-29-11
| | cro777: <kb2ct> Your idea (8.Be2 followed by quick castling and trying to neutralize a black knight on f5) is valid. Instead of 10...Nf5 more common moves are 10...h6 and 10...Ng6. |
|
| Dec-29-11 | | King Death: <cro777> In my playing days (up to 1989) I never saw 8.Be2. If anybody played something else it was 6.Bd3 sometimes. |
|
Dec-30-11
| | cro777: <King Death> The move 8.Be2 was introduced by a Russian grandmaster Igor Arkadyevich Zaitsev in the game against Evgeni Vasiukov at the 37th URS Championship in Moscow 1969. He played this move regularly. Sveshnikov, the great master of the Advance Variation, used to play it from 1979 (later, 2004, he opted for 8.g3). Anand played 8.Be2 as early as 1987 in New Delhi against Prasad. Today, 8.Be2 is the main line. The old main line 8.g3 is the main alternative. 8.Qc2 and 8.Rb1 are also playable alternatives. |

I will admit that there was a certain amount of serendipity involved, but I did digest all of Sveshnikov's ideas and gave myself every chance. The knight sac on g7 busts Akobiam's idea. Rybka walks right into it. :0) |
|
Dec-30-11
| | cro777: Nice work <kb2ct>. I'm now analyzing alternatives to 10...Nf5. |
