Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: The move 5.Bg5 is rarely played according to my database. |
|
Feb-18-05 | | aw1988: It's not necessarily "bad", although I personally would prefer Be2. |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: The move 7.h3 may be a Theoretical novelty for this position. In the following game play continued 7.Qd2: [Event "Vila de Padron op 1st"]
[Site "Vila de Padron"]
[Date "2000.08.24"]
[Round "8"]
[White "Devesa Raris, Victor Hugo"]

|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: It appears even after the TN on move 7.h3
(a move which is known to be played in some lines of this opening) the game tranposed back into known theory. |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: 8.Bc4 is an interesting move provoking ...c6. However then Black was able to develop his knight to c6.So was 8.Bc4 the best option for White? (Shredder 8 analyzed it as "best".) |
|
Feb-18-05 | | euripides: Black gets a nice-looking Sicilan Dragon position. But the middle game explodes into something quite extraordinary. |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: Shredder 8 and Hiarcs 8 were suggesting Black play ...Be6 on move 10 ie... 10...Be6 11.Qe2 Nd7 12.Nd5!? Bxb2 13.Rab1 Bf6 with compensation for the pawn for White. |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: 16...Nxd4 could have resulted in this continuation: 17.Bxd4 Bxb3 18.axb3 a6 19.Bxf6 Bxf6 20.Nxd5 Bg5= |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: Hiarcs gave a bad evaluation to the move 21...Na5?! It suggests the move 21...Be6 instead ie 22.f5!? Bxb3 23.axb3 g5 24.Bd4 Nxd4 25.Nxd4 Rfe8= |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: aw1988 you prefer 5.Be2. Then would you comtinue with 6.Bf4 next? |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: Hi, euripides you make a good point |
|
Feb-18-05 | | euripides: <albertan> hi, thanks ! |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: If Tkachiev was in a more aggresive mood he could have tried a variation JUnior 9 spotted: 21...g5 ie. 22.f5 Na5 23.Bd5 e6 24.Bb3 Nxb3 25.Rxd6 Rc6 |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: Playing 22...Ne8 seems so passive. What about playing Junior 9: 22...dxe5 instead? ie 23.Ng3 Qh4 24.fxe5 Ng4!? 25.hxg4 Bxg4 26.Rd5 b5 27.Nge4 Qxf2 28.Bxf2 Nb3. Two pawns for a piece,I don't see the compensation |
|
Feb-18-05 | | aw1988: No, I do not think 6. Bf4. This is a normal Pirc position, there is no need to be so hasty. |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: Shredder 8 gives the move 24.e6 a ! in its evaluation of this game. |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: In evaluating the critical moment of this game the chess program Junior 9 suggests the move 21...Na5 was a mistake ie. 21...Na5? Instead better was 21...g5!? ie 22.Ng3 Qh4 23.fxg5 hxg5 24.Nf5 Qxf2 25.Kxf2 Nxe4+ 26.Nxe4 Bxf5 27.Nxg5+ Kg8  Junior 9 calls 22.e5! "The end". |
|
Feb-18-05 | | Albertan: Junior 9 preferred to play the move 30.Qd2 (calling this idea a "shorter path to victory" in relation to 30.Bd2.. ie if instead he had played 30.Bd2 play might have continued: 30...N8c7 31.Qxd6 Nd8 32.Q2xd5 Nxd5 33.Qe5 ). |
