| Posted by taoistlunatic ability-tw.com 8/11/2002 14:45:02 |  Subject: fascinating tactical gameMessage: board #315413 This is perhaps the most complex tactical game I have yet played. Some of the moves took me quite awhile, and I never felt 100% comfortable with my analysis, since the game was extremely WILD. Enjoy it chess comrades, and the more diligent students may perhaps enjoy doing some analysis. I feel that I played very well, bu there were some situations which got very close to checkmate for my king!!! |

| Posted by taoistlunatic ability-tw.com 8/11/2002 19:51:00 | my analysis during the game Message: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4?! (out-of-book, bad position for the bishop.) e6 4.Nc3 a6 5.d3 b5 (white doesn't play the usual d4 break, but plays a closed sicilian.) 6.Bb3 Be7 7.Bf4 d6 8.a3 Nf6 9.e5 dxe5 10.Bxe5 0-0 11.h4 Bb7 12.Qe2 Nxe5 (black obtains the bishop-pair) 13.Qxe5 Qd7 14.0-0-0? a5! (after white castles queen-side. black begins a triple pawn wing attack.) 15.Ne4 Ng4 (forking the queen and f2 pawn) 16.Qg3 h5 (supporting the knight, and blocking white's h-pawn) 17.Nf-g5 a4 18.Ba2 b4 19.Rh-e1 bxa3 20.f3?? (this move was premature allowing...)axb2+ (obtaining a passed pawn on the a-file and exposing white's king) 21.Kxb2 Nf6 (I retreated the Kinght as I could not see any forced mate on white's exposed king.) 22.Kc1! (white's king begins a journey to safety)Qb5 23.Kd2! Rf-d8 24.Ke2 Qb2(forking the bishop and c2 pawn) 25.Bxe6?? (why not Bc4?) fxe6 26.Kf1 Qxc2?? (should have defended e6 with Bd5) 27.Nxe6! (threatening mate on g7!) Ne8 28.Qf4 Rxd3 29.Ne4-g5! (threatening a mating combo starting with Qf7+) Nf6! 30.Rd-c1 Qd2 (black wants to exchange queens to relieve the pressure on his king.) 31.Qf5 Rd5 32.Qh3 a3 33.Nxg7!! (another mating threat, if black takes the poisoned Knight, 34.Rxe7+! is deadly) Ba6+ 34.Kg1 a2! (unafraid of the king-side threats, I marched my passed pawn towards glory.) 35.Qe6+ Kh8 36.Qxe7 Qd4+ 37.Re3 a1=Q 38.Rxa1 Qxa1+ 39.Kh2 Ng4+! (releiving the danger on my king and liquidating down to a won endgame.) 40.fxg4 Qxg7 41.Nf7+ Kg8 42.Rf3 Bc4 43.g5 Rd2? (my mouse slipped! I meant to play Rd4 threating Rxh4+) 44.Nh6+ Kh8 45.Qe4 Bd5 46.Qe3 Bxf3! (beginning a liquidation combo, which forces the trade of queens.) 47.Qxd2 Qe5+ 48.Kh3 Bg4+ 49.Nxg4 hxg4+ 50.Kxg4 Qd4+ 51.Qxd4 cxd4 52.Kf3 Re8 (the rook cuts off the king fron the passed pawn.) White resigns. (0-1) |
| Posted by roblear ability-tw.com 8/13/2002 09:33:37 | tactical game Message: great game guys....thought the black king was trapped for sure but you never know..... |
| Posted by brobishkin ability-tw.com 8/13/2002 23:18:47 | Great game... Message: Took a chance on the (3.Bc4) move (out of book) But played a sharp middle game and an excellent endgame... I think with his (Black) (too many) pawn moves in the opening help give you an edge in development... Keep on pushing wood... Bro... P.S. Got your E-Mail... And I agree with you... I'm just comfortable with Silmans method of thought is all... But in the end, it is whatever works, isn't it?... Thanks again... |
| Posted by taoistlunatic ability-tw.com 8/14/2002 17:34:34 | I was black in that game, Bro! Message: And I won with my too many pawn moves! |
| Posted by taoistlunatic ability-tw.com 8/14/2002 17:36:26 | And black played the opening excellently Message: my development was actually superior than white's by move #12 or so. |
| Posted by brobishkin ability-tw.com 8/14/2002 20:19:06 | So sorry... Message: I stand corrected... Then I should say "his third move Bc4 was risky and didn't quite pan out"... Bro... |
Chess news: Rising Chess Stars Open up a Lead at NH Tournament — The saying that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link is also true for chess teams. Unfortunately for the older team at the annual NH Tournament in the Netherlands, it seems to have three weak links right now. After seven rounds, the rising stars lead the experience team 19 to 16. The top chess player for the experience team, Boris Gelfand of Israel, is actually playing very well. He has scored 5 points — the most in the competition. Peter Svidler of Russia is playing beneath his ability, but he still has 3.5 points. But the other three experience members — Peter Heine Nielsen of Denmark, Loek Van Wely of the Netherlands and Ljubomir Ljubojevic of Serbia — each have only 2.5 points. That is ... Chess still struggling to capture imagination of the masses in China — China is a unique phenomenon in world chess. The team only began to compete in around 1970 but within 30 years was a serious contender at men's level and No1 in women's chess. Yet the national game remains Chinese chess and the global version has little public support. The secret has been well-directed government backing to identify young talent and provide intensive coaching. China will be going for medals again at next month's world team Olympiad in Russia, although the home squad will be heavy favourites. China has also created its own elite chess tournament at Nanjing, where the top two finishers qualify for a Grand Slam final against world chess champion Vishy Anand and world No1 ... In Race for Global Chess Dominance, China Is Gaining on Russia — There was little doubt why the Soviet Union was so dominant in chess — the government poured money and other resources into programs that cultivated chess players. Yet even after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Russia remained the world’s leading chess country. Its strength might be a vestige of the Communist-led system, or of the country’s historical affinity for the game. If there is one nation that seems able to displace Russia, it is China, which created its own state-run chess-training program about two decades ago. China has already narrowed the gap, finishing ahead of Russia in some team competitions and producing several women’s world chess champions. One measuring stick of ... | |
