 | | AylerKupp: Thank you <Boomie>. I stand corrected. And I don't know why I said Shirov and not Shipov. |

| May-22-16 | | Boomie: <AylerKupp: I don't know why I said Shirov and not Shipov.> Dyslexics untie!
You have nothing to chain but your losses!
Well, 'p' and 'r' are close enough to be switched. |

Arkadij Naiditsch: "A very modern and theoretic move, although it is hard to understand why exactly 12.a4 is such a good move." Here, the World Team opted for 12.a3. This move was the subject of intense discussion. Caruana vs Kramnik, 2016 |
|
| Jun-26-16 | | cormier: <cro777> i think the B has a better position with 12.a3 |

12.a4
Arkadij Naiditsch: "A very modern and theoretic move, although it is hard to understand why exactly 12.a4 is such a good move."> During our game I argued at some point (subsequent to 12.Qb3 I believe) that a4 helps Ra1 development and as such worked like a charm in Caruana-Kramnik game. Irrespectively what is the reasoning jury is still out regarding 12. a4. It should be noted that Caruana played it in "rapid" OTB and after 12...a6 13. Bf1 Nc6 offered pawn sac with 14.a5 giving Kramnik 5 choices : 14...Ba7 declining sac (what Kramnik Chose); ...Bxd4; ...Bxa5; ...Nxa5; ...Bxf3 15. Nxf3 Bxa5 the last seemingly favored by engines as per LiveBook on the server. Since smooth attack execution in a rapid OTB it is obvious that Caruana understood the position "inside out", however it is questionable if 14.a5 pawn sac offer would be played in the standard time control OTB or consultation/correspondence game. |

member cormier: here's a coor... game ... it may be of sme interest .... https://www.iccf.com/game?id=794200>This is first won game on ICCF 29 after many already drawn. I think this game is of interest for any KID - Mar Del Plata variation player. a4-b3-Ba3 plan is quite interesting. However, for the WTeam interest may be quite a challenge to give two pieces for the rook at move 24 expecting won endgame after further 20 moves. Even in the final position is IMO not very easy to prove forced win, what Black must have clarified prior to resigning. I ran Houdini inf. anal. just to depth 22 and evaluation was not "overly exuberant" for White and probably requires much deeper analysis to reach TBs. On the server is supplied Stockfish 7 anal. to d 19 with +1.25 only. |

|
| May-10-17 | | Bigfoot713: There's this very clever-looking pawn sacrifice 24...b5 when after 25.Bxb5 Bb6 (vacating f2 square for the rook in case of g5 and stuff like that), e5 doesn't obviously work and anything else that white does will mean king gets to blockade the pawn. But of course engines refute the sacrifice with the move Rd1 and taking back with the bishop means you just have a ridiculous pawn on b5. Still better than the game continuation because of the free f2 square. |
|
| Jul-23-17 | | MuzioFan: <Bigfoot713>: Interesting! It seems we do not have a refutation posted in our analysis from back then. However white can probably find a win after refuting this pawn sacrifice, for example after <24..b5 25.Rd1 Rxd1 26.Bxd1 Bd6 27.e6 Kf8 28.Bg4 c5(!) 29. Bxf5 gxf5 30.Rh4> we get the position
click for larger viewHere white seems to be winning, my engine suggests <30..cxb4 31.Rxb4 a6 32.Rh4 Ke7 33.Rxh7 Bd4 34.b3> with an eval of over +1.00. The team was expecting the move <24..Rd4>, going further down the <Hocus Pocus line>. |

| Sep-03-17 | | diamondchess: This didn't turn out to be a good game for Naiditsch |

 | | Ron: I plugged in the position after Black's 11th moves, and my Stockfish 7 says play Qb3 with an eval of 0.00. |

<very good> research! A chain of games with this opening led me back to our team's great victory over Naiditsch. |

 | | Dionysius1: Lovely pun. Worth bringing up again. |
|
| Feb-15-25 | | Messiah: Two remarks:
1. 20...Bxf2 should indicate a check. It is not there in the PGN. 2. It is so sad that the utter corruption of CG prevents any kind of team matches for tons of years now. |
