| Sep-09-03 | | Shadout Mapes: I love this opening. As patzer2 said, after 5. Bxb2 d5! comes 6. Bxd5 Nf6 7. Bxf7+ Kxf7! 8. Qxd8 Bb4+ 9. Qd2 Bxd2 10. Nxd2 and black gives his two pawns up to trade queens. |
|
| Sep-09-03 | | helloriker: <patzer2> what about 14 Qf7, this prevents the discovered check. |

 | | patzer2: <Sneaky/Celebrate2006> Fritz 8 likes 7. ...0-0 giving it a solid 1.28 advantage after 8. N(g)f3 d5 9. Bxd5 Nxd5 10. Qxd5 Qxd5 11. exd5 Rd8 12. Rd1 Rxd5 13. Ne4 Bd4= 14. Ke2 Rxd1 15. Rxd1. Apparently black has nothing to fear after 7. ...0-0 8. e5 Ng4 9. Ne4 Qe7 10. Nf3 Bb4+ 11. Nc3 Nxe5 12. Nxe5 Qxe5+ 13. Kf1 Bxc3 14. Qxc3 Qg5 15. Qe5 Qh6 with a 1.38 assessment for a black advantage. |

| | patzer2: <helloriker> You are correct that after my line, following your 10. ...d5, that 14....Qf7 holds the position for black, though white may have a perpetual after 15. Bxg7 Kxg7 16. Qg3+ Kh8 17. Qe5+ etc. However, Fritz 8 gives 10. ...d5 11. Bxd5 Nc6 Bxe6 0-0 13. Bd5 Qd7 14. Ne4 Bd6 15. Nxd6 cxd6 16. Qg3 Ne5 as giving a 3.38 plus score advantage to white. So, I figured I was missing something. Sure enough, I was missing a critical move in the combination. After 10...d5 11. Rae1 Be6 12. Bxd5 0-0 13. Qg3! (not 13. Bxe6!?) 13. ...g6 [13. f6 Rxe6] 14. Qc3! [14. Qe5 also wins but is much weaker] 14. ...f6 15. Rxe6 and white will quicikly snatch the black queen and or mate. Now I did run this variation by Fritz 8, as I should have done earlier, and it does lead to a quick mate, starting with a 12.13 plus score for white after 14. Qc3! Thanks again, however, for the good catch! I learned something to help improve my play as a result. If nothing else, the moves 13. Qg3! and 14. Qc3! in this variation are instructive and entertaining (certainly worth a look). |

| Sep-10-03 | | helloriker: <patzer2> In those variations you went through you show black casteling king side into the attack. This is never an advisable tactic. Have you looked at trying to fend off the attack by play Qg5, this allows the darksquared bishop to come back and interpose the rook check. You could also just step the king over to d8 after the rook check. Moving towards the king side is suicidal when you are down this far in tempo. The only way to regain tempo is to move the king away from the attack and not into it. It would take white atleast a couple of moves to reposition his pieces to take advantage of the uncastled king. |
|
| Sep-10-03 | | helloriker: that would be 10 ... Qg5 |
|
Sep-10-03
| | patzer2: <helloriker> Is that 10...Qg5 instead of 10...d5 (or 10...0-0 as in the game) that you want to look at? Or do you wish to investigate 10...d5 11. R(a)e1 Be6 12. Bxd5 Qg5 (instead of 12...0-0)? |
|
| Sep-10-03 | | helloriker: that would be instead of 10 ... d5 I think you lose the f pawn but that is it. White is going to have to reposition the bishops to gain an attack on the queen side and that gives black the tempo to develop and defend against it. Possibly with d6 in a later move to give the king some manuverability and allow the bishop to develop. I would also try to seudo castle the king on the queen side if tempo permits it. |
|
Sep-11-03
| | patzer2: <helloriker> Appears that 10...Qg5 (instead of 10...0-0 or 10...d5) gives white several excellent options. Without cranking up Fritz 8 or looking too deeply, 11. Bxf7+, 11. Re1+ or 11. Nf3 all look like they lead to a solid white advantage. At this point (black's tenth move) it is doubtful whether black can survive the white attack, and I think it would have been much better for him to have played one of the earlier options recommended above such as 7...0-0 or 8...Nc6. |
|
| Sep-12-03 | | helloriker: <patzer2> Looking at those moves to both the checks I would say you play Kd8 and sacrifice the castle. If 11 Nf3 then Qg6. Nf3 makes it a little harder for black to defend but it is not imposible. Especially if black can make good moves to lock down the board. The G file is critical to control if black wants to castle king side. Black could play 10 Kd8 but this move is better to wait on since if it is done on a check it will allow black to possibly pick up a tempo. The nf3 line does look like the best option for white. |
|
Sep-12-03
| | patzer2: <helloriker> Suggest you run it through a computer program for analysis or to try and defend the position as black. I would much prefer to defend black's position after 7...0-0 or 8...Nc6 than to have to defend after 10....Qg5. This move may avoid any immediate tactical shot, but looks like it creates a positional and tactical nightmare for black to have to defend against. White is already well developed and this black queen foray gives white more tempo and development for the attack. |
|
| Sep-12-03 | | helloriker: <Patzer2> I would rather play it from back there as well, but I think that the position is still holdable for black. I don't have a chess computer to run the positions through though. After looking at it further I think Qf8 is probably blacks best move after 10 Nxd2, the queen is in a relatively safe location protecting the f and g pawns. Whites only obvious move is the Rae1+ possibly with a line that would look like this 10 Nxd2 qf8 11 Rae1+ Be7
now white has no really clear move I would think 12 Ba3 or 12 Nf3 would be whites moves. at any rate this position looks very defendable to me. And black doesn't have to give back the pawns. Although he can to regain some tempo and get his king to the queen side of the board. This game is an exellent demonstration of why not to castle into the attack :) |

| | patzer2: <helloriker> 10. ...Nxd2 Qf8 11. Rae1+ Be7 12. Qg3 f6 13. Qxc7 and white has a winning position. |
|
| Aug-12-04 | | mack: I presume this must have been a game of the day. "That can't be Legal"? Something like that? |
|
| Oct-29-04 | | Apocalypse79: Good position with two bishops. |
|
| Nov-26-05 | | DeepBlade: <Apocalypse79> That is also the reason why Whit did win the game. It is fatal to castle kingside for Black, because the 2 Bishops are pointing at it. Heck, the 2 Bishops are the main reason why people play the Danish! |
|
| Sep-26-08 | | TheTamale: If I were Black, instead of resigning, I'd play on with 12. g5. |
|
| Oct-01-08 | | TheTamale: Please disregard last comment; I have no idea what I was thinking. |
|
| Jun-27-09 | | WhiteRook48: 10 Rfe1 maybe |

I can make it Legal. |

| Feb-25-21 | | Whitehat1963: What an unusually passive way to win—by never venturing past the fourth rank! Amazing! |
|
Feb-27-21
 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Indeed, <Whitehat1963>! Truly White must rank as the shyest winner ever. |
|
| Mar-08-21 | | Whitehat1963: Stockfish suggests: 8...Nc6 9. O-O Na5 10. Qb5 Nxc4 11. Qxc4 d6 12. e5 dxe5 13. Bxe5 Be6 14. Qc2 O-O-O to refute black’s attack and maintain a lead. |
|
| Mar-10-21 | | Whitehat1963: Rather, to refute WHITE’S attack and for black to maintain a slight lead. |
