Sep-20-06  Uzi: Anyone have the verdict of theory on this line? Is 9...Nf5 already a losing move?
Sep-20-06  refutor: well you definitely can't play 9. ...h6 ;)

Oll vs Ulibin, 1989

Sep-20-06  NateDawg: <Uzi> 9...♘f5 is fine. With 7. ♕g4 O-O Black invites a White kingside attack, and he must play defensively for some time. A way in which Black could have done better (according to Fritz 9) was by playing 11...g6, when after 12. ♕h3 ♘g7 Black's king is somewhat safe.

Play could continue 13. ♗d2 fxe5 14. ♘xe5 ♘xe5 15. dxe5 c4 16. ♗e2. Fritz rates the resulting position as = (0.19)

  Sally Simpson: British Chess Magazine, November 1990 page 477 states that Khalifman has a habit of chatting to other players in between moves and before this game started Nikolic called across an arbiter and in front him warned Khalifman; "I will protest if I see you talking with any Russians."

Khalifman asked if it was OK to speak to foreigners. Nikolic replied "Yes but not Psakhis as he still counts as a Russian."
