Apr-02-04  niom: hejka all:) psyt to ja - megus, megalo z nieshufli :)) a bialymi gra R J Fisher, mistrz swiata ;)

prosze na liscie ruchow kliknac 37... ef4 i przyjrzec sie pozycji krolow na szachownicy - bialy krol na e4, czarny krol na e6; to jest wlasnie opozycja pionowa bliska

gdyby czarny krol stal na d6, bialy zas na f4 - bylaby to opozycja skosna bliska;

a gdyby bialy krol byl na d5, czarny zas na f5 - bylaby to opozycja pozioma bliska

popatrzmy jak potoczyla sie gra dalej: Fischer, mistrz swiata, zagrywa 38 Kf4 wylamujac sie z opozycji; jego przeciwnik zagrywa 38...Kf6 ! pilnujac opozycji; Fischer znow 39 Ke4 i przeciwnik znow Ke6 ! pilnujac opozycji; Fischer jeszcze raz 40 Kf4 i czarne znow Kf6! zatem remis

czarne rozpaczliwie, ale konsekwentnie pilnowaly opozycji pionowej bliskiej, biale probowaly sie z niej wyrwac; gdyby czarne po 39 Ke4 odpowiedzialy np 39... pionek h5, Fischer zagralby 40 Kd5! z wygrana

zjadlby czarnego pionka c5 i swojego pionka c4 wypromowal na Krolowa; po czym nastapilaby egzekucja czarnego krola i koniec partii :p

oj, tak - w szachach ten, kto nie pilnuje opozycji, zostaje rozgromiony; ale szachy to matematyka, tu rzadzi logika - tu brak symetrii i harmonii karze sie lokrutnie :))

o ilez szachy sa cudowniejsze od poezji! :)

  Gypsy: Yes, chess is stranger than poetry. And your discussion of near diagonal oposition, gentlemen, is also quite eye-opening. But only a few of us benefit from your wisdom when you serve it to us in Polish.
Apr-12-04  niom: i wrote it, cause i wanted to show analogy between oposition in chessgame and oposition in poem. And i didn`t do that for members of this site - i think everyone here knows oposition ;)

btw im really happy seeing countrymen here :)

Aug-27-04  wall: Maybe 13...Nd8 is better to protect the e6 pawn. Can't Black win a pawn after 19...Qxa2 instead of the 19...Bxd4 move? Perhaps 21...Rab8 instead of the more drawish 21...Rad8.
Jan-27-05  Dobyr Wecher: I think 12.Ne2 is quite dubious better is 0-0.

  Penguincw: The only draw ever between these 2 players.
Mar-05-25  JacobKerr: So apparently the first real mistake is 14.Nxe6?, when White is in a bit of trouble after 14...Qxe6 15.exd5 Qe5, and Black holds the advantage. Black instead chose 15...Nxd5?? which returns the position back to equality. However, had White instead chosen to play 14.c3, he stunts a lot of Black's queenside counterplay and simply waits to see what Black does. If then Black plays 14...dxe4?, then White now has the opportunity to throw in 15.Nxe6 and he is simply crushing.
