| |
| Reegan Milne: <swapmeet> The queen's Pawn Counter Gambit,( or elephant Gambit) is simply a bad way to lose a pawn since after 3 exd5, black has no good way to keep the material balance, 3...Qxd5 4. Nc3 cost black too mcuh time while 3... e4 4.Qe2 doesnt work ( as you are discovering). ... |

Jul-03-05 A Nimzowitsch vs Kostic, 1920
| |
| Reegan Milne: IMO i think he went wrong in locking in his bishop on move 19 because not only does he make his greatly cut it mobility but also result in giveing white a isolated pawn on an half open file for no compensation. after the c pawn falls black has a queens side majority and the ... |
