| Jan-28-06 | | Bobsterman3000: Why can't Shirov play like this against Kasparov?
:) |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | TylerD: Easy question.
The answer: because Kasparov is not playing like Dunn... |

 | | Open Defence: An attack on both wings .. nice |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: Forgive me for my ignorance, but what's wrong with 28...dxe5 here? |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | AlexandraThess: <EmperorAtahualpa> In my view nothing wrong:) But probably Dunn was frightened by the fact that he is playing against 2700 player. After 28...dxe5 29.Bxe5 Qxd1 30.Bxf6+ Nxf6 31.Rxfd1 Bd6 - black has better position in view of the advanced defended passed pawn. |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: Efxaristo, <AlexandraThess>. Yeah, I was thinking something along that line too! Still, if Dunn was afraid of playing against a 2700 player, you don't make your game any better by giving up your knight.. so 28...Bg7 is a very weird move! |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | stanleys: And what about 28...dxe5 29.Be3,guys?After exchanging the queens,white can play Rd8 threatening Rxc8 |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | AlexandraThess: Hey <stenleys>, I am waiting for the photo of Moro's girlfriend :) |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | slavyi: AlexandraThess, I don't really think that the bishop blockade on d6 could last for more than a move. And once it goes done (the bishop would have to move after i.e. Nb5), black would have to lose a piece. And in my opinion this was the reason why Dunn would rather not open the d-file and exchange qeens.It is true that black has two protected passed pawns, but white has already a pawn on the 7th rank and one on the 6th and white has all his pieces active on the queen side, so it is just a metter of time and some skill to queen one of these pawns or at least win a piece or two in exchange for them. |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: <stanleys> Hmm....I don't see any refutation to that idea so I guess it can work! Still, I doubt giving up the knight is a better alternative.. Did anyone check this with a computer? |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | AlexandraThess: <EmperorAtahualpa> I have not,because I had to format my hard drive early in the morning and now i can't find where is my disc with Fritz!!! <slavyi> Well I am mathematician so give me exemplary variant! Words cannot persuade me:) |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: <EmperorAtahualpa> Fritz (7) came up with the following continuation analyzing a hypothetical 28. ... dxe5 by Black: 29. Be3 Qxd1 30. Rfxd1 Rg7 31. Rd8  (1.50). |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | stanleys: Wow I did as well as Fritz and Shirov?!Please don't wake me up! |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | stanleys: I found it Alexandra : http://www.chessbase.com/images2/20... |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | AlexandraThess: <stanleys>Thanks. I don't like her very much. And she doesn't seem to understand anything about chess. |

Rd8 (1.50)> 28... dxe5 also looses, since white is winning with the line you (well, Fritz) show: 31... Be7; 32. Rxc8! or 31... Bb4; 32. Nb5! Black should have played 27... Nh5! |
|
| Apr-20-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: What does that picture have to do with this game? |
|
| Apr-21-06 | | stanleys: I expected such a reaction from Alexandra:) |
