Jul-26-08 | | eisenherz: Hi, there.
What do you think, can a human beat Rybka? |
|
Jul-26-08 | | Ideefixe: <Who called it a King's Pawn game? It looks like a Catalan or Bogo-Indian, or combination thereof> Anyone voting for a Queen's Indian?! |
|
Jul-26-08 | | solskytz: Qd8+ with d7 ? |
|
Jul-26-08 | | HFBA: It seems Bacrot gained some confidence after defeating Pelletier and if all goes right and Bacrot wins, Carlsen will take first place. |
|
Jul-26-08 | | SCUBA diver: How about QxR. .. |
|
Jul-26-08 | | solskytz: then a7 (the Q covers b6 against the Kt) |
|
Jul-26-08 | | solskytz: I like QxR also |
|
Jul-26-08 | | solskytz: but I like my own suggestion better - it's a heavier kind of crunch. |

Analysis by Fritz 10:
1. (6.03): 1.Qd8+ Kg6 2.d7 Nb6 3.Qe8 Qxd7 4.Rxd7 Nxd7 5.a7 2. (4.01): 1.Qxf7+ Kxf7 2.d7 Qxa6 3.d8Q Nb6 4.Qc7+ Kg6 5.Rd6+ Kh7 6.Kf2 Qc4 7.Qxb6 3. (2.28): 1.Qb8 Nc5 2.a7 Rxa7 3.Qxa7 Nd7 4.Qb7 b3 5.Qb4 e4 6.Rb2 Qe5 7.Rxb3 exf3+ 8.exf3 Qe2+ 9.Kg1 Qd1+ 10.Kf2 Qc2+ 11.Ke3 Qxh2 12.Qc3+ |
|
Jul-26-08 | | solskytz: no... you are right - QxR after all. looks like Qd8+ Kg6 d7 Qxa6 with ...Rxd7 is more complicated in view of black's b-pawn, which would have no significance after your QxR. I withdraw my argument :-) |
|
Jul-26-08 | | solskytz: and the more I look at it, the two variations look more and more the same, as a6 would also fall in the QxR variant - actually there's no real difference (that's my current evaluation. Since I'm not an engine I'm not attaching any " 6.09" sign to it - but that's more or less what I think :-) |
|
Jul-26-08 | | Vilya: Go go Etienne!!! :) :) :) |
|
Jul-26-08 | | Big Slick: Qd8+ and Qxf7+ both win, so it's just a question of style. Personally I would rather play in Rybka's +4.01 line with the queen's removed, than the +6.03 line with the queens still flying around. |
|
Jul-26-08 | | solskytz: the queens will fly around in both variations, as after QxR you don't kill black's queen, and white gets one from the d-pawn. It's really the same. |
|
Jul-26-08 | | solskytz: hmmm... now I see that in the current line after ...Qxa6 we have Qe8 - crushing black even more than I predicted |
|
Jul-26-08 | | SCUBA diver: Looks like a7. .. |

 | | Domdaniel: Another excellent game. Similar openings, one black win, one white. Great stuff today... any chance of a 3rd? |
|
Jul-26-08 | | PinnedPiece: <chessgames.com: Thanks to everybody > Including you guys! Makes a difference to hae intelligent comment along with these games. Brings them to life. Opens the eyes to many more aspects of the play than just watching the raw feed. |

|
