| Oct-24-06 | | Ulhumbrus: The strategy of keeping Black's K in the centre and Black's Rooks disconnected may be a mistake, even a losing mistake, but it is up to White to find a correct way of making count what can be called a serious Black liability. |

| Oct-24-06 | | siilarsi: <ARTIN: ...And I don't get the comparison with Fischer. There is a difference between saying that one will not play if the room is not lighted as one desires and that one's opponent is cheating and should be accompanied to bathroom.> I agree to the point that there is no comparing Topalov(Danilov) and Fischer in general, Fischer was a much more gifted player, but he also suffers from serious mental issues, Topalov only suffers from serious moral issues. But I do belive that Fischer also used psychology as one of his weapons, in his matches againts Larsen, Petrosian, Taimanov and Spassky, as they all claimed indirectly and directly respectively. Although the russian players credibility in these issues has been questioned sometimes, sometimes by questionable people, I belive that Spassky was of an strong and individual character expressing his own opinon when he spoke of the match. |

| Oct-24-06 | | Albertan: Here is some analysis I have done of this game:
Polgar,Judit (2710) - Topalov,Veselin (2813) Opening:Sicilian Defense:Scheveningen variation:Keres Attack ECO:[B81]
Essent Crown Group Hoogoveen NED (2.2), 23.10.2006
[Analyzed by: Albertan,Shredder 8, Hiarcs 8 and Junior 9] 1.e4 c5 The Sicilian Defense. 2.Nf3 She begins to develop her kingside minor pieces to facilitate castling early in the game. 2...d6 Gaining influence over the important e5-square and opening up the diagonal for his light-squared bishop. 3.d4 She attacks in the center. 3...cxd4 By capturing his influence over the key d4 square is eliminated. 4.Nxd4 Nf6 Beginning to develop his kingside minor pieces and winning a tempo by attacking her unprotected d-pawn. 5.Nc3 The lost tempo, however she used it wisely to develop another minor piece. 5...a6 Preventing her from playing a knight to b5 and creating the chance to play ... .b5 for queenside counterplay. 6.Be3 The main continuation in this position, overprotecting her knight.She develops this bishop before her king's bishop because she intends to castle on the queenside. 6...e6 He faciliates the development of his king's bishop. By playng this move we can define the variation of Sicilian defense being played...it is the Scheveningen variation. The Scheveningen Variation of the Sicilian Defence is one of Black's most ambitious lines in the Open Sicilian. Championed by Garry Kasparov, among many other distinguished Grandmasters, it offers excellent counterchances and considerable scope for creativity.The d6-e6 pawn center affords Black control of the critical d5 and e5 squares and retains flexibility to break in the center with either ...e5 or ...d5. |
|
| Oct-24-06 | | Albertan: 7.g4 This move defines the variation of Scheveningen being played:it is known as the Keres attack (named for deceased Russian GM Paul Keres)This move takes advantage of the fact that 5...e6 cut off the Black Bishop's control of g4 and plans to force the knight on f6, Black's only developed piece, to retreat and force black into passivity. 7...h6 The main continuation for Black in this position, guarding the g5 square which stops her from playing g4-g5. 8.Bg2 Overprotecting her e-pawn. 8...g5 A rarely played move (only 2 games in my database), he prevents her from playing g4-g5 in the future (at the cost of weakening his kingside pawn structure). 9.Qe2 Allowing her to castle on the queenside. [Analysis:In one game in my database play continued: 9.h4 ] 9...Nbd7 He develops another minor piece, intending to immediately move the knight to e5 next move. 10.0-0-0 According to the chessbase online database this move was first played in the game Guenther-Bilsel. 10...Ne5 He double-attacks her weak g-pawn winning a tempo. 11.h3 The lost tempo. 11...Nfd7!?N He coordinates his knights at the cost of blocking in his light-squared bishop.This move appears to be a theoretical novelty for the position. [In the game Guenther-Bilsel game play continued 11...Qc7 and the game reverted back to known theory.] 12.f4 She forces him to either capture on f4 or lose a tempo moving his attacked knight.

|
| Oct-25-06 | | Karpova: I agree with <Ray Keene> though i would not call Topalov's actions cheating.
Danailov is much too wily so all his actions were legal and Topalov could always claim to be not involved. They let the FIDE do the donkey work. Who takes <sharpnova> serious anyway? Never read a substantial post from this guy (gender is unknown) but just inflammatory flames. Like on the page of our game against GM Nickel where this guy just calls everyone there an idiot. So <Ray Keene>, don't care about this person. He's not worth the effort. |
