  Phony Benoni: For a few years, I dated a woman after meeting her at a chess tournament. I was higher rated, so naturally tried to help her improve.

I never could convince her that <6.cxd3> was not a good move in situations like this. And after seeing Gunsberg's performance here, I'm not so sure myself.

  fredthebear: 6.cxd3 strengthens White's center. The Black minor pieces have no scope. It's seems 12...f5 was less than best, as Black needed a different pawn break to apply pressure on the White position. 25...NxBc3 is not useful either. White has the advantage in time and space, and generates outnumbering forces on the kingside.

So did you <Phony Benoni> improve the woman?

  Phony Benoni: <fred the bear>I know better now. When men speak of improving women, they mean making them more like men. And what good is that?
