| Posted by philaretus ability-tw.com 8/10/2002 08:36:02 | The opinion of theorists.... Message: .....is that the King's Gambit Declined is more difficult than the King's Gambit Accepted, so that to begin with you're advised to accept. |
| Posted by certainratio ability-tw.com 8/10/2002 13:43:12 | consider declining Message: I personally have a much better record with 2...d5 than with 2...exf4. CertainRatio |
| Posted by adrianallen ability-tw.com 8/12/2002 07:45:52 | Check out old games Message: Do a search on www.chessgames.com for kings gambit and look at games won by white in 10 moves or under. All the games I checked were accepted, so it gives you an idea of what not to do :) |
| Posted by brunetti ability-tw.com 8/12/2002 10:00:00 | No. Message: You can't get an idea by looking at short blunder-featuring games (that's the case if White wins in 10 moves)! You should make a search, instead, of games played by two players rated, say, at least 2300, and compare the results. Nowadays the best defences are considered the Modern (2...exf4 3.Nf3 d5), Fischer (2...exf4 3.Nf3 d6 followed by ...g5 and ...h6), and KG declined with 2...Bc5, some complex lines of Nimzowitsch 2...d5 3...c6, and 2...Qh4+ 3.g3 Qe7.

| Posted by paulvalle ability-tw.com 8/14/2002 18:04:15 | Brunetti Message: tell me more about 2...Qh4+ 3.g3 Qe7, is it really considered one of the best defences? what is the idea behind it? |
| Posted by p8ntballjunky1 ability-tw.com 8/15/2002 18:04:02 | Message: i guess it is half and half then, i still am unsure!! |

| Posted by keiserpaul ability-tw.com 8/18/2002 10:27:27 | paul valle Message: The idea behind 2. .. Qh4+ 3.g3 Qe7 is that g2-g3 create weakness and that Black has a strong reply on 4.fxe5 ( and that's 4. .. d6 ) |
Chess news: Fast Pace Continues at Two U.S. Chess Championships -- The top two seeds in the U.S. Women’s Chess Championship could make no headway against each other and drew their Round 3 game on Monday. But their two nearest competitors lost, so Irina Krush and Anna Zatonskih now lead the chess tournament by half a point over Tatev Abrahamyan, Alisa Melekhina (who lost to Abrahamyan on Monday) and Iryna Zenyuk, who lost on Monday to Beatriz Marinello. In the U.S. Junior Chess Championship, which is being held concurrently at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, Warren Harper, the seventh seed, is the surprising leader after three rounds with a perfect score. His play so far has been stellar and on Monday he demolished his ... A Chess Odyssey -- One single square can make a big difference in a chess game. It helped me to launch one of my longest combinations against Anatoly Karpov in Caracas 40 years ago. It was a memorable chess tournament for both of us. Karpov arrived in Venezuela as the reigning world junior champion. He played well enough in Caracas to become the world's youngest chess grandmaster at that time, at age 19, and his brilliant career began to take shape. In 1971 in Moscow, he clinched the first major tournament victory, sharing first place with the three-time Soviet champion Leonid Stein at the prestigious Alekhine Memorial tournament. In 1975 he was crowned the world chess champion. This year ... Zhao and Zatonskih Lead Chess Championships -- Anna Zatonskih, the defending chess champion, took the lead of the U.S. Women’s Championship on Wednesday, while Parker Zhao, the ninth seed, solidified his grip on the U.S. Junior Championship. The two chess tournaments are being held concurrently at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis. Zatonskih had shared the lead for the last few rounds with Irina Krush, the top seed. But in Round 5 on Wednesday, Zatonskih beat Iryna Zenyuk, while Krush only drew against Camilla Baginskaite. Zatonskih now leads with 4.5 points, while Krush and Tatev Abrahamyan, who beat Abby Marshall on Wednesday, have 4 each. In the junior championship, Zhao, who ... | |
