| Posted by atrifix ability-tw.com 7/17/2002 14:18:05 | Message: 4... d5?! after 4. Bb5 looks incorrect, White should maintain an advantage in all lines with a timely Bxc6. 4... Nd4 is more in the style of the sicilian, and 4... Nge7 would have given you a fine position. Another consideration would be the fairly promising pawn sacrifice 2... d5!?, which is the reason most GPA players avoid 2. f4 and use 2. Nc3. Atrifix |
Chess news: Barden on chess -- A record 152 chess federation teams have entered next month's Dresden Chess Olympiad, a number probably second in sports competition only to the Olympic Games. Chess has no paralympics but three teams of blind, deaf and physically handicapped chess players are competing on equal terms in the main event. Few countries will be gold medal contenders. The old Soviet Union had a virtual monopoly for 40 years but Russia on its own is less of a sure thing, and after its worst ever placing of sixth at Turin 2006 it has announced a team led by the former world chess champion Vlad Kramnik with an average rating of 2750, the highest in Chess Olympiad history.

White creates a strong centre. If this becomes mobile Black will struggle in the centre and on the kingside. b) 7...c5 Black counterattacks the key square d4. 8.d5 allows Bxc3+ c) 10.Rc1 White invites cxd4 cxd4 when he will control the c file in the resulting chess endgame ... A well-calculated sacrifice -- Peter Svidler leads the Russian Chess Championship Superfinal with a perfect score after three rounds. Svidler defeated the favourite Alexander Morozevich in an 87 move chess game, gradually outplaying the world number two from a position where he held more space. At one stage Svidler was three pawns up but he returned two and reached a technically won rook and pawn endgame. In round three Svidler’s finely calculated queen sacrifice and king march forced a brilliant win. The position with queen against two rooks and knight was complex but once Black’s runs out of checks White’s mate threats decide. ... | |
