naamloos: <After 1 e4..c5 2 Nf3..e6
3 d4..cd 4 Nd4..Qb6 5 Nc3 black can play 5..Bc5 which is quite awkward for white. I am assuming that this line is not in the Grivas book.> White can play 6.Na4 after which play continues like 6. ..Qa5+ 7.c3 Bxd4 8.Qxd4, after which white seems to ... |

Mar-23-07 E Najer vs D Bocharov, 2000
|
naamloos: Well played attack by Najer. Where did black go wrong? I guess he was lost after [16. Nd5!] . [14. .. Qxe5] Is probably better then what was played and [15. .. b6] is definately a mistake. |

Oct-07-06 Kramnik - Topalov World Championship Match (2006) 
|
naamloos: It seems like people will always support the winner, no matter what foul tricks they play in order to win. I find that train of thought (the winner is always right) very repulsive. |

Sep-30-06 Vienna Game (C27) 
|
naamloos: The real problem with the Vienna (and reason for me to think about switching to another opening) is the variation: 1. e4 e5
2. Nc3 Nf6
3. Bc4 Nc6
4. d3 Na5
After this white has big difficulty proving any advantage. Theory suggest further: 5. Ne2 Nxc4
6. dxc4 Bc5
7. 0-0

May-17-06 M Bagdasarova vs K Rybenko, 1998 
|
naamloos: I saw Ng4 immediately and stopped looking as it seemed a good enough answer to me. I don't think that in a real game I would look further than Ng4 if I found it. |
