| Dec-03-02 | | drukenknight: looks like some effort should be made to check the K by Qe4+ |
|
| Dec-03-02 | | refutor: honza, and there's many other examples...can you (or someone else) tell me what the idea can be behind this strange move? it looks very weak to me...what are it's strengths? |
|
| Dec-04-02 | | bishop: Just as I suspected the score of the games with 9...Nd5 is 7-2 in White's favor. The move is probaly ok for blitz but certainly not for a tournament game. By the way, the programmers who came up with the "similar games" and "opening explorer" features, deserve a gold medal, in my opinion. |

| | Honza Cervenka: Well, I think the idea is 1) not to allow to pin the knight f6 and 2) to gain some tempo for development with intention to exploit white's king position in the center for initiative. At the end of white's combination one of his knights is pinned and other stays in the corner of chessboard and black queen and knight on d5 are pretty active. Maybe all it is not absolutely correct but I think the position of white is not easy. For example Ljubojevic gain very good play against Timman after 12...Qe4+ 13.Be2 Nf4 and 13.Qe2 Qxd4 does not seem to be hopeless too. |

| Jan-01-13 | | JPi: More and less forced from 9...Nd5 20.Ng6+!! is brillant. |

 | | FSR: As <bishop> noted almost exactly 20 years ago, the line played in this game refutes 9...Nd5. Good luck remembering it, or figuring it out over the board! If you deviate, something like Hebden vs S Williams, 2009 or S Bekker-Jensen vs S Williams, 2013 will likely befall you. |

| Dec-01-22 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: An enemy of mine, who 2 years earlier tried to betray my friend FM Dr. Thomas Bohn (Koblenz/Germany) by reporting a wrong result (a win instead of a draw) to the arbiter, played an instructive game in this variation, which I watched.
