May-15-23		stalker1: A very intense fight. I dont know why this jewel has not been recognized as such yet.

May-17-23		Honey Blend: I take that 17. ... ♗b7 was meant to stop ♕f3, but I think he should have gone for the attack - 17. ... gxh6 18. ♕f3 ♕a1+ 19. ♗b1 ♗a3 click for larger view White needs to play precisely in order to stop this. The critical line is 20. ♕g3+ ♔h8 21. ♘xf7+ ♖xf7 22. ♖d8+ ♖f8 23. ♖xf8+ ♗xf8 24. ♕f3, going back to the ♕f3 fork but now the threat of ♕xf6 will come with check: click for larger view After which 24. ... ♔g7 25. ♕xa8 ♕a6 gives White back some material but leaves Black with the bishop pair and he's got everything nicely defended at the moment. I think Black has better chances here than in the actual game.

May-17-23		Honey Blend: In the above line 17. ... gxh6 18. ♕f3 ♕a1+ 19. ♗b1 ♗a3 White could also have played 20. bxa3 but that leads to the interesting swindle 20. ... ♗b7: click for larger view If White falls for this, 21. ♕xb7? ♕xc3+ 22. ♗c2 ♖ac8 -+ and it's game over. Hard to find a good move for White here and his queenside is a bit of a mess.

May-17-23		An Englishman: Good Evening: Adorjan could have said that "White is OK!" about this game. And the game title is inspired.

May-17-23		al wazir: 31...Kh7 32. Qh6+ Kg8 33. Bxf7+.

May-17-23		Teyss: Medical information: throwing kitchen sinks at each other's heads only results in flesh wounds. And that was on a supposedly tame opening. <Honey Blend> Thanks for the analysis on this interesting game.

May-17-23		Sally Simpson: Smashing 'both players look lost' game. Both wrote books with interesting and debatable points. Thought provoking rather then being controversial. Adorjan's books are well known. Janos Flesch's book 'Planing in Chess' (Batsford 1983 - a good book BTW) covers all the usual motifs; Double Pawns, Castling Opposite sides, The Role of pawns, etc. with complete game examples using a fair number of his own and lesser known games and only one or two well worn old favorites that a lot of writers fall back on. This game is not included. File it under all Rules of Thumb are off and just play bold chess. In the chapter on 'Bishops and Knights' he warns us against the modern (remember 1983) dogma of the Bishop being better than a Knight. 'The truth is that chess players of a previous age knew better how to use one and two Knights.' He is of course talking about cases where a player stubbornly refuses to swap a badly placed Bishop for an active Knight because it losses the 'minor exchange.' or Bishops are better then Knights because it is something they have read. However Janos adds, somewhat jokingly, one of the reasons chess players prefer Bishops to Knights is because we are watching too much television. (you have to read the book for a full explanation.)

May-17-23		goodevans: 22...Rfc8 defends more effectively than 22…Rfd8. click for larger view If 23.bxa3 then 23…Rxc3 24.Rc2 Rac8 wins. If White defends with 23.Rc2 then 23…Rxc3! anyway. Forced then is 23.Qd4 Bf8. Both attacks are somewhat thwarted but Black is a pawn to the good.
