Quote:That's nice Lev, but your evaluations for the Nc6 evaluations are not critical the most testing line in the Euwe Defense is Gallaghers c5 against Bd3. I mean he is a Grandmaster right. I am really tired of seeing your blitz games as proof of success OTB. I mean these are not tests with GM in mind. I mean Diebert and I agree that until we get to test some of these variations against I.M and G.M then these are merely idle conversations.
Computer analysis Lev, that is the answer, and before you start trippin, know that it was I who started these debates on the board, so I am not anti-BDG, just anti Lev not using technology to prove this.
Teyko, you have to understand, that of all the BDGs I have played almost none have been with the Bd3 c5 line that Gallagher mentions. That is first.
Secondly, although I play chess a lot, none of the titled players (IMs and GMs) have gone for an Euwe Defense with either 7...Nc6 or 6 Bg5 Be7 7 Bd3 c5 . Geez, man, it is easier for you to say, let's see Gallagher's line! What can I do if my opponents do not oblige?
You want to know what defenses I get? OK, I will list them.
1. Teichmann Defense, 5...Bg4
2. Vienna Defense, 4...Bf5
3. Langeheinecke Defense, 4...e3
4. Bogoljubow Defense, 5...g6
I do not get that many Euwe Defense games. The lines I get go 5...e6 6 Bg5 Be7 7 Bd3 00 8 Qe1 Nbd7 or 7...h6 8 Bd2
You complain about not getting Gallagher's line? Why don't you start a new thread where we can discuss it?
Ciao.
