Feb-08-06		notyetagm: In the final position Black's pieces just suck, especially when compared to the harmony of White's.

Feb-12-06		shr0pshire: 7. g4?! This signifies the start of the Sicilian: Scheveningen, Keres, Perenyi Attack. A pure Keres Attack looks like this (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 e6 6 g4). By playing the Perenyi variation white delays the kingside pawn assualt to develop a little more first. There are three major replies now, h6, e5, b5. H6 tries to diffuse some of the kingside pressure the impending pawn storm will bring. In my database H6 is the most popular move at this point. E5 subscribes to the classic chess maixim when your opponent is attacking on the flank try to secure the center of the board. And B5 is general sicilian theory where white will storm pawns on the kingside and black will fight back on the queen side. That brings about very sharp play and usually a race of the pawns. According to my database white scores 62.5% of the time in this position. 14. ... 0-0-0?! This is not the best move in this situation where black's pawns are sparse on the queenside and the position of the black king makes the black queen the main defender. White is in a better position. A better move would be Rc8 or B5 in this position for black. Since there isn't any interaction in the center, black needs to attack on the queenside, and castling queenside wastes a tempo and jeopardizes the saftey of the black king. 17. ... Nh7. Now black is moving into passivity. White's pieces are aiming for the center adn then towards the black king. Black has development problems with his dark colored bishop, knight, and rook, let alone getting an attack together.

Feb-12-06		shr0pshire: White ends the game by exploiting black's underdevelopment and misplaced pieces. Finally there is too much pressure on black's king (possibly from castling queenside?) 25. Nc6+!! clearly wins the game which just opens up black's king like a can of cheap spam for white's rooks and white's queen and bishop combination. Well played. Bravo.
