And another Jaenisch by Radjabov against Karjakin. This time with no surprise effect at all (as he played this recently against him).
It seems like it will be major opening soon with result Radjabov is getting. White is yet to achieve even slight advantage vs him and the only way which seems kinda promising gives black huge compensation and pleasant position for the pawn which won't be in many people tastes.

The Queen sac looks good indeed. But I think Black can avoid it without too much damage:
10...h6 11.Bxf6 gxf6 12.Na4 Bb6 followed by Qe7 and castling queenside;
9...Na5 10.Bd3 0-0 is also reasonable.
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Btw, there is a truly amazing queen sacrifice in Janish:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d3 fe4 5.de4 Nf6 6.0-0 Bc5 7.Bc4!? d6 8.Nc3 Bg4 9.h3 Bh5 10.Bg5 Nd4

and now the star move Nd4 !! and if Bd1 then 12.Ne6 Be2 13.Ng7 Kd7 14.Ne2 and white has huge compensation. Some computer games were played from this position with great success for white. Does anybody played this OTB ? This whole line looks rather promising for white if black avoids the queen sacrifice.

15. Kh1 certainly looks like a good try for a white advantage.

Black might try (after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d3 fe4: 5.de4: Nf6 6.0-0 Bc5 7.Qd3 d6 8.Qc4 Qe7 9.Nc3 Bd7 10.Nd5 Nd5: 11.ed5: Nd4 12.Bd7: Qd7: 13. Nxe5 Qf5 14. Nd3 0-0-0 15. Kh1)
15....Rhe8 with the idea of swinging the rook along the fourth rank and  starting and attack against the white king, profiting from the poor position of the white Queen on c4 an the lack of defensive pieces on the white king side. According to my analysis black gets a lot of activity. I am not sure, however, if its enough compensation for the pawn deficit. My analysis runs as follows:

1.   15....Rhe8 16. Be3 Re4 17. Nxc5 (what else?) dxc5 18. Qxc5 Rxd5 and blacks should have enough for the pawn.

2.   15....Rhe8 16. b4 Bb6 17. Bb2 Re4 (another funny idea is 17....Nf3!? 18. Qf4 (only move) Qxf4 19. Nxf4 Nd2 and maybe Black is   near equality, for example 20. Rfe1 Ne4!))18. f3 Rh4 (threatening Rxh2) 19. g3 Rg4 and Black has got a very strong attack, for example 20. Nf4 Rxf4 21. gxf4 Nxc2

Maybe there are improvements for white, but so far I didnt come across them. Do you see anything?

So far I still believe, the 4. Nc3 main line is critical instead of 4.d3. I really hope we will see some radjabov games there in the near future...

Somehow Ne5: looks stronger to me (after all it wins a pawn, at least temporarily  Wink), but there might be a reason why they chose Nd4: instead.

Funnily enough I've been wondering the same thing; during the Radjabov games on ICC I tried to ask this question in the channel and couldn't get a satisfactory answer. I was under the impression that 13...Qf5 offered inadequate compensation, though a quick run past Rybka gives its main line as 14.Nd3 O-O-O 15.Nxc5 dxc5 16.Qxc5 Nxc2 17.Bf4 Qxf4 18.Qxc2 Rxd5 = - maybe this is what the top GMs have found that the old books had missed? Neither 14.b4 or 14.Be3 seem to offer white anything, either.

Well, but that is actually the way Radjabov handled the position. 16....0-0-0 and then Rdf8 instead of your proposed 17....Rhf8.

Its funny to see that Radjabov improved today in his Linares game against Carlsen by employing the idea of a5!, as mentioned above. Carlsen could not achieve more than a drawn ending, despite being a pawn ahead.
The endgame with 4 against 3 pawns on the same side is similar to piket-kasparov, kasparov chess grandprix 2002, where piket won a very instructive game. In that game however, the rook pawn was on a2 (well, actually h2, but you get what I mean). With the pawn on a4 as in Carlsen-Radjabov white simply has no plan to improve his position because of the b3 weakness...

Sorry, I have overlooked your post. What exactly is the advantage of Rhf8 compared to Rdf8? Maybe you can explain it a little bit, as I dont get the point... For me the minor detail of the rook position doesnt change the evaluation of the poistion. But maybe I overlook something...

I appreciate your suggestions--and it's great to have a defender of these lines for Black in this forum.  I'd love to find that this is playable for Black (and if Radjabov is sticking with it, there must be something here...).  But I'm not sure I agree with your evaluation after 20...Rfb8.  White has the simple 21.Na5 when the c6 pawn is in trouble.  Black can't get in 21...Rb5 or 21...Rb4 at this point, because of 22.Nxc6 (21...Rb4 22.Nxc6 Qe8 [22...Rxa4? 23.Ne7+] 23.Nxb4 Qxa4 24.Nd5 with some interesting complications that all seem to favor White).

Black's best is perhaps:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d3 fxe4 5.dxe4 Nf6 6.O-O Bc5 7.Qd3 d6 8.Qc4 Qe7 9.Nc3 Bd7 10.Bg5 a6 11.Bxc6 bxc6 12.Na4 Ba7 13.Qd3 Qf7 14.c4 O-O 15.c5 Bg4 16.Bxf6 Qxf6 17.Nd2 Qg6 18.f3 Bh3 19.Rf2 Be6 20.Nc4 Rfb8 21.Na5 dxc5 22.Nxc6 c4 (not sure what else) 23.Ne7+ Kf7 24.Nxg6 cxd3 25.Nxe5+ Kf6 26.Nxd3 Rd8

This looks satisfactory for Black, who has weathered the storm, perhaps.  But you're right: maybe White needs to back up a little.  There should be a better way to lock that bishop in more effectively.  While the position looks fairly open, White's knights enjoy considerable activity in many lines here and can't be inferior to the bishops...



yeah, 21....dxc5 seems to be a satisfactory suggestion. But perhaps black can even play 21....Qe8, because after a forthcoming Rb5 white seems to have problems with his gnights on a4 and a5 and his pawn on c5. A sample line (admittedly cooperative play by white, just to iluustrate the ideas) being 22.a3? Rb5 23. b4? dxc5 -+

At the moment I think the most dangerous idea for black in the whole 4.d3 complex is following Macieja's example from the worldcup, although most sources have annotated this game "by result".
White should stick to 4.Nc3. Maybe its only a bluff to play the Jaenisch at this level? I really hope one of the strong guys will test Radjabov on that ground...

@Willempie

Yes, you are right. After a kingwalk to the queenside white cannot lose. It seems to be one of those positions that can lead to unbalanced play IF white tries (and risks) something, but that are rather sterile if he simply holds still. That seems to be blacks fate in many lines of the spanish and the petroff.

Well, that's actually the tiype of endgame I am talking of. 24. Qf6 Qxf6 (Re8 followed by Qxf6 and Re7 is also possible) 25. Rxf6 Ka7! and black has no problems his king is infiltrating the black squares on the queenside. He has no problems and can even afford to give up his h7 pawn. His counterplay is very fast. One sample line being 26. Rf7 Kb6 27.Rxh7 Kc5 and white might even be worse if he is not careful.
That is why in our analysis we thought that 23.c4 might be an inaccuracy. Affter this move whites queenside is very weak in rookendgames.

Yes that kingwalk is good (I think it is the only way to not lose directly), but if white just moves the king towards the c-pawn and keeps the rook on the f-file he still is in no danger whatsoever. On the other hand it is indeed hard to see how white can win then.
  

If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

Well, I think I have to disagree with the posters above. The 4.d3 line is simply highly overrated. If you examine the position after move 20 (actually almost the same position as in Greets excellent book, except that there the rook is on f3) without prejudices, you can only conclude that white has gotten almost nothing out of the opening.
Today an analysis session with two german gm's came to the result that radjabov started going astray with 23....c6?! and finally after 27....Qe1?! white got good winning chances. But...

if Radjabov had played the better 23....a5! his position is fully ok. The only plan to make progress for white ist to probe blacks kingside with h4-h5 and exchange queens (probably white has even to do it the other way around, because of his potentially exposed king) in order to penetrate with his king on the kingside. In the meantime black is getting counterplay on the black squares on the kingside with ka7-b6, and maybe later c7-c6. the big difference in contrast to the game is that blacks king is not locked in by that nasty white a5-pawn. To conclude: black has nothing to fear. To make progress white has to exchange queens, but that leaves a rather balanced endgame where black has the same justification as white to play for more than a draw.

Personally I am very interested in the improvements Radjabov has to have found in the mainlines. As markovich has pointed out, at the moment they are looking rather shaky for black.
It's a pity that J. Polgar avoided the critical lines in Linares after playing 4.Nc3 against Radjabov...
Have you got any ideas? I would be very interested...



Disagree, 24. Qf6 and the pieces will come in on the 6th and 7th rank. I dont see how the black queen can get annoying. ie 24. Qf6 Qd7 15.h3. So prolly then 14...Qxf6 Rxf6 and black needs a very good plan to hold.



Well, that's actually the tiype of endgame I am talking of. 24. Qf6 Qxf6 (Re8 followed by Qxf6 and Re7 is also possible) 25.

Recently, I have been looking at:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d3 fxe4 5.dxe4 Nf6 6.O-O Bc5 7.Qd3 d6 8.Qc4 Qe7 9.Nc3 Bd7 10.Bg5 a6 11.Bxc6 bxc6 12.Na4 Ba7 13.Qd3 Qf7 14.c4 O-O 15.c5 Bg4 16.Bxf6

After this, Black is faced with a choice (well, not much of a choice, but a bit of a problem):

16...Qxf6 17.Nd2 Qg6 18.f3 Bh3 19.Rf2 Be6 20.Nc4 Qh5 21.b4 Rab8 22.Qc3 Rb5 23.Na5 and Black's position starts to look pretty miserable pretty quickly.

16...Bxf3 17.Qxf3 Qc4 18.b3 Qb5 19.Rac1 Rxf6 20.Qe3 Raf8 looks like a better alternative for Black, but even here White should have good chances if s/he can keep the bishop buried...




Thats a very interesting suggestion, but albeit a very risky one, as white surrenders both his bishops, his only plus being the incarceled black bishop on a7. Black has got the bishop pair (against knights in a fluid position, better prospects on the kingside and a better grip on the central squares. But chess is not only abaout evaluations, its also a very concrete game. and in the final position of your 16....Qxf6 variation whites position has certainly got more potential than blacks (but is he really worse in such an unbalanced position?).

Anyway, I think a considerable improvement for black is to be found after 16....Qxf6 17.Nd2 Qg6 18.f3 Bh3 19.Rf2 Be6 20 Nc4 Rfb8!
The queens rook is guarding the a7 bishop, white cant get b4 in and Rb5 (or Rb4) is coming. I dont say black is better, but its quite a mess. White can try to improve with 20.b4, but also then the immediate 20...a5! (Rfb8 is an option, too) is very strong. White has to play 21.bxa5 with an unclear position, because 21.a3? fails due to the unprotected rook on a1.


I appreciate your suggestions--and it's great to have a defender of these lines for Black in this forum.  I'd love to find that this is playable for Black (and if Radjabov is sticking with it, there must be something here...).  But I'm not sure I agree with your evaluation after 20...Rfb8.  White has the simple 21.Na5 when the c6 pawn is in trouble.  Black can't get in 21...Rb5 or 21...Rb4 at this point, because of 22.Nxc6 (21...Rb4 22.Nxc6 Qe8 [22...Rxa4? 23.Ne7+] 23.Nxb4 Qxa4 24.Nd5 with some interesting complications that all seem to favor White).

Black's best is perhaps:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d3 fxe4 5.dxe4 Nf6 6.O-O Bc5 7.Qd3 d6 8.Qc4 Qe7 9.Nc3 Bd7 10.Bg5 a6 11.Bxc6 bxc6 12.Na4 Ba7 13.Qd3 Qf7 14.c4 O-O 15.c5 Bg4 16.Bxf6 Qxf6 17.Nd2 Qg6 18.f3 Bh3 19.Rf2 Be6 20.Nc4 Rfb8 21.Na5 dxc5 22.Nxc6 c4 (not sure what else) 23.Ne7+ Kf7 24.Nxg6 cxd3 25.Nxe5+ Kf6 26.Nxd3 Rd8

This looks satisfactory for Black, who has weathered the storm, perhaps.  But you're right: maybe White needs to back up a little.  There should be a better way to lock that bishop in more effectively.  While the position looks fairly open, White's knights enjoy considerable activity in many lines here and can't be inferior to the bishops...

The only plan to make progress for white ist to probe blacks kingside with h4-h5 and exchange queens (probably white has even to do it the other way around, because of his potentially exposed king) in order to penetrate with his king on the kingside. In the meantime black is getting counterplay on the black squares on the kingside with ka7-b6, and maybe later c7-c6. the big difference in contrast to the game is that blacks king is not locked in by that nasty white a5-pawn. To conclude: black has nothing to fear. To make progress white has to exchange queens, but that leaves a rather balanced endgame where black has the same justification as white to play for more than a draw.

Personally I am very interested in the improvements Radjabov has to have found in the mainlines. As markovich has pointed out, at the moment they are looking rather shaky for black.
It's a pity that J. Polgar avoided the critical lines in Linares after playing 4.Nc3 against Radjabov...
Have you got any ideas? I would be very interested...



Disagree, 24. Qf6 and the pieces will come in on the 6th and 7th rank. I dont see how the black queen can get annoying. ie 24. Qf6 Qd7 15.h3. So prolly then 14...Qxf6 Rxf6 and black needs a very good plan to hold.
  

If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

Recently, I have been looking at:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d3 fxe4 5.dxe4 Nf6 6.O-O Bc5 7.Qd3 d6 8.Qc4 Qe7 9.Nc3 Bd7 10.Bg5 a6 11.Bxc6 bxc6 12.Na4 Ba7 13.Qd3 Qf7 14.c4 O-O 15.c5 Bg4 16.Bxf6

After this, Black is faced with a choice (well, not much of a choice, but a bit of a problem):

16...Qxf6 17.Nd2 Qg6 18.f3 Bh3 19.Rf2 Be6 20.Nc4 Qh5 21.b4 Rab8 22.Qc3 Rb5 23.Na5 and Black's position starts to look pretty miserable pretty quickly.

16...Bxf3 17.Qxf3 Qc4 18.b3 Qb5 19.Rac1 Rxf6 20.Qe3 Raf8 looks like a better alternative for Black, but even here White should have good chances if s/he can keep the bishop buried...




Thats a very interesting suggestion, but albeit a very risky one, as white surrenders both his bishops, his only plus being the incarceled black bishop on a7. Black has got the bishop pair (against knights in a fluid position, better prospects on the kingside and a better grip on the central squares. But chess is not only abaout evaluations, its also a very concrete game. and in the final position of your 16....Qxf6 variation whites position has certainly got more potential than blacks (but is he really worse in such an unbalanced position?).

Anyway, I think a considerable improvement for black is to be found after 16....Qxf6 17.Nd2 Qg6 18.f3 Bh3 19.Rf2 Be6 20 Nc4 Rfb8!
The queens rook is guarding the a7 bishop, white cant get b4 in and Rb5 (or Rb4) is coming. I dont say black is better, but its quite a mess. White can try to improve with 20.b4, but also then the immediate 20...a5! (Rfb8 is an option, too) is very strong. White has to play 21.bxa5 with an unclear position, because 21.a3? fails due to the unprotected rook on a1.

Well, I think I have to disagree with the posters above. The 4.d3 line is simply highly overrated. If you examine the position after move 20 (actually almost the same position as in Greets excellent book, except that there the rook is on f3) without prejudices, you can only conclude that white has gotten almost nothing out of the opening.

I offer 16..0-0-0 followed by 17..Rhf8 as a possible improvment to Black.

I agree. This line looks bad for black.  Sad
If this is the best black can get then it is time to switch to something else.

So Radjabov actually played this vs Topalov who used d3!!!!  and still only drew.  I hope Radjabov is preparing the "death" to the Ruy....  What do people think of d3 now after Topalov-radjabov 2008?  

Well having played through the game I dont like it at all for black. He was constantly defending and had no chance whatsoever for more than a draw. I doubt this defending such a worse middle- and endgame is what Jaenisch players or even Petrov players for that matter want from their opening.

It seems as though 10.Nd5 is the hip move, but I wonder whether Magnus Carlsen's 10.Bg5 deserves more attention:

Interesting. Finally somebody tried this line against Radjabov. Still according to the commentary on chessbase.com white had clear and lasting advantage. There was a inaccuracy in the rook endgame letting black escape. Overall, the opening was a success for white, not for black, I suppose  Embarrassed.

Any improvements for black?

4.d3 is a second rate move. So is 2.c3 in the Sicilian, even though many players win with it.

Although theory in old lines can be very dogmatic (based in old views with zero comp. analysis), so it surely pays to do some analysis. One would be ahead (same as Kaspy in the Evans: Move is no good, but if you are ahead...)

Just amazing! 

The venerable Ruy Lopez is tamed by a youngster playing a allegedly dubious gambit against the world elite.

Interestingly it seems that both Vishy and Judith do not trust the d3 followed by qd3-qc4 ideas.

Radjabov got a 22 move draw vs Anand in the Jänisch/Schliemann. Not too bad. (Aronian managed to win with the Marshall. Even better.  Cheesy )

I'm following basically Davies repertoire book Play 1.e4 e5!, but I don't like the spanish exchange, and that's the reason which make me think in avoiding 3...a3 which, of course, must be the strongest, the richest and the most complex move.

As white I haven't defined yet my repertoire but at the moment, I'm studying Paul Morphy games which I hope it could give some ideas about where to go.

Thx for your attention.


Well, only the Berlin is widely considered good among the alternatives to 3...a6.  For whatever it's worth, the theoretical stock of the Exchange seems to have fallen in recent years.  You could also consider the transposition to the Open that I suggest up higher.

Nigel Davies says in Gambiteer II that 4.d3 lines are not a problem for black as many other writers have proclaimed. I haven't studied the recomended lines yet, but the idea is to avoid that white's queen arrives to c4, then black should wait to take on e4, I mean 4.d3 Nf6 5...Bc5 6...0-0. I'm really interested in learning the Schliemann which I think would be a good weapon at my level (2100).   

Pd. Markovich, if you ever read this,  what do you prefer for a new 1..e5 player 3...Bc5, or 3...f5 in the Spanish game? 



In the past I've recommended 3...Nf6 4.0-0 Bc5.  More recently however, I've begun to wonder whether Black can hold his end up after 5.Nxe5!  If I knew that Black were O.K. there, I would continue to recommend it, since I think the other lines are at least palatable for Black.

The Schliemann is a very interesting proposition, as are many lines that sacrifice time in exchange for space.  (Because it gives up time, I don't think it really belongs in a "gambiteer" repertoire.)  But as you will know, I think it's a losing proposition.  I would never recommened that a line known to be unsound be played at any level; at least as a part of anyone's regular repertoire.

If you don't want to play the Berlin or transpose into an Open via 3...Nf6 4.0-0 Nxe4 5.d4 a6 (and there are those who think you can't do that), I think you really have to look to 3...a6 against the Spanish.

Yes, you're right I don't! The problem is that if Informator decide to sue anyone, it will probably be me! Sad
However, this day and age the disrespect for intellectual copyright seems to be pretty general - a strong Ukranian GM complimented me on my Najdorf book a few months ago, and then added: "Of course, I didn't buy it, I downloaded it from ***!" (I am not putting the name just in case the reader thinks this is a good idea Wink)

Greetings,

I did look at 7. Bxc6, dc; 8. Nxe5, Bxf5.

The idea was to get the long-term advantage of pawn majorities on both sides of the board with the intention of exchanging off to an advantageous endgame as soon as possible. The only problem is that Black gets a good middlegame attack due to White's lack of development. For those who like living dangerously, it might be worth further study!  Wink

Edit:
Further to the above, I'm giving the following line, which is a result of my analysis (along with my old version of Crafty-20.14). This by no means represents "best play" - I'm sure those here can find improvements for both sides. Any flaws in this line are my own.

9. Be3, Qe7; 10. Nc4, Rae8; 11. Nbd2, Ng4; 12. Bxc5, Qxc5; 13. Nb3, Qe7; 14. h3, Ne5; 15. Re1, Qf6; 16. Nxe5, Rxe5; 17. Rxe5, Qxe5; 18. c3, Re8; 19. Nd4, Be6; 20. Nxe6, Rxe6; 21. d4, Qe2; 22. Qxe2, Rxe2; 23. Rb2, Kf6; 24. g4, Rc2; 25. Kg2, Ke6; 26. Kf3, Kd6; 27. h4, h6; 28. Ke3, c5; 29. dc+, Kxc5; 30. f4, Kc4; 31. Ke4, Rh2; 32. h5, a5; 33. Kf5, Rd2; (+=/+- on the basis of the k-side pawn majority.)

Kindest regards,

Dragan Glas

I had found this move more than 10 years ago and also saw it in Harding's last Kibitzer column. 15...Ne8 is one of those developments since 1979 TN wrote about.

To make life easier for those who want to delve a little I quote:

TopNotch wrote on 11/30/07 at 16:14:52:

Further to my and Mnb's previous posts, I am not convinced that Black has gained equality after Davies and Harding's suggested line: 4.d3 Nf6 5.0-0 Bc5 6.exf5 0-0 7.Be3 [Serious thought should also be given to 7.Nxe5!?] Nd4 8.c3 Nxf3+ 9.Qxf3 Be7 10.Nd2 c6 11.Ba4 d5 12.d4 e4 13.Qh3 g6 14.f3 reaching a position I consider better for White but requiring practical tests.

If only everyone would play the Schliemann then life would be so much simpler and enjoyable for White.

Toppy Smiley



With the last statement I certainly agree.
I also find it nice to read that TN's assessement has been modified from "6.exf5 winning" to "I consider 14.f3 better for White."
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

How do you copy chess games from the Chessbase program, to the forum, I have tried to do this before without any luck.


It's easy:

1. select desired games in Chessbase 9.0 or Fritz
2. Output - Textfile
3. select: txt. or rtf.
4. copy notation into forum


Sweet.... Although I am still using Chessbase 7 which does not have this Output feature,I have managed to find a satisfactory work around.

Posting ideas here should be a lot easier for me from now on. As a test to make sure I've got, I will post two of my recent efforts from a half hour team tournament that I accepted to play in after much trepidation due to a long competitive lay off:

 

TopNotch vs. An, International Master [B52]
Team Tourney, 24.11.2007 Time 30/30
[TopNotch]

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bb5+ [Avoiding any nasty surprises in the Open Sicilians such as the Najdorf for instance, is usually a good policy in Rapid chess] Bd7 4.Bxd7+ Qxd7 5.0-0 Nf6 6.Re1 Nc6 7.c3 e6 8.d4 cxd4 9.cxd4 d5 10.e5 Ne4 11.Nbd2 Nxd2 12.Bxd2 Be7 13.Rc1 0-0 14.Rc3 [In my opinion the text move is the only good plan for White in this position. The main idea of this rook lift is to eventually swing it to the kingside to participate in a King hunt] Rfc8 15.a3 b5 16.Rd3 [An important preparatory move, which frees my Knight from the defence of the d pawn and buys me time to organise a Kingside raid.] 16...a5 [Very cold blooded. Black is in no way intimidated by my aggressive intentions ] 17.Ng5 [Worth investigating is 17.h4!?] 17...Bxg5 18.Bxg5 Ne7 19.Qh5 Ng6 20.Rh3 h6 21.Bxh6!? [In for a penny, in for a pound. My opponent admitted after the game that he considered this rubbish, while I on the otherhand did not see a clear way for Black to unravel after the sac. It turns out that we were both wrong.] gxh6 22.Qxh6 Rc4 23.Rg3 Rxd4 24.h4 Qe7 25.h5 Rh4? [He should have played 25...Qh4! 26.Rxg6+ fxg6 27.Qxg6+ Kf8 28.Qh6+ Kg8 29.Qg6+ Kf8 30.Qh6+ Kg8 31.Qg6+= and White is obliged to take the perpetual check] 26.Rc1?! [26.Ree3! Qf8 (26...Rc8 27.Ref3+- This is what I momentarily missed during the game, as I forgot my distant Queen is still covering the critical c1 square) 27.Qg5 Qd8 28.hxg6 Qxg5 29.Rxg5ą] 26...Rd8?? [Better was 26...d4 but Black would still have big problems to solve after 27.Rd1 Ra7 (27...b4 28.Rdd3 bxa3 29.Rxa3 Rb8 30.Rxg6+ fxg6 31.Rg3+-) 28.Rg5 Qf8 29.Qxf8+ Kxf8 30.hxg6 fxg6 31.f3ą] 27.Rcc3 [There is no satisfactory defence now] Qf8 28.Qg5 Rxh5 29.Qxh5 Qg7 30.Rcf3 d4 31.Rf6 Kf8 32.Rgxg6 1-0

A. FideMaster vs TopNotch [A21]
Team Tourney, 2007 Time 30/30
[TopNotch]

1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 d6 3.g3 f5 4.Bg2 Nf6 5.d3 Be7 6.e3 0-0 7.Nge2 c6 8.0-0 Be6 9.b3 Na6 [Yrjola and Tella don't consider the 

risky text move, and suggest instead 9...d5 which indeed is a lot safer but also a lot less fun Smiley] 10.d4! Qe8 11.Ba3 Rd8

12.Qc2 g5 Preparing e4 if need by securing the f4 square from a possible Knight incursion. As it turns out the text move 

also facilitates a strong Kingside attack 13.c5?! [In case of 14.Rd1 I had intended 14...e4 with a reasonable game] dxc5 

14.dxe5 Ng4 15.Na4 Qh5 16.h3 Nxe5 17.Nxc5 Nxc5 18.Bxc5 Nf3+ 19.Kh1 Rd2! [Also winning as pointed out by Fritz is 

19...f4! 20.Bxe7 Bxh3 21.Bxf8 Bg4+ 22.Bh3 Qxh3#] 20.Qc3 Bxc5 21.Ng1 Nxg1 22.Kxg1 Rd5! [The key to the combination] 23.Bxd5 

Bxd5 0-1


That didn't take very long to do at all, although I suppose the games could benefit from a bit more formatting which I'm sure I will get the hang of over time.

Much appreciated for the info Rossia.

Factually incorrect.  

Your payment at a "heavy price" no doubt also included your legally binding agreement to NOT share this very information with anyone.  It is called proprietary RIGHTS, and you are possibly in violation of it, whether you are in Russia, the Planet Tralfalmadore, or anywhere else in which other human beings can come into contact with you.

And, while your intent may be that of good will and altruism, it is irrelevant, because a higher law other than your own mental code of ethics likely takes precedence here.

You may want to at least try to hide under the umbrella of the Fair Use Doctrine, but even that would probably not apply because of your possible (ab/over)use of the info.



Just sayin.
  

I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission.

We in Russia are not distracted with copyrights, on the contrary we use them when appropriate, and 10 games can not alter my opinion.

No. Everything here is not copyrighted. Making reference to analysis from books is quite different to copying entire analysis from CI. I don't think Tony likes that you do that.

Rossia I aprreciate your effort and enthusiasm, however it does tend to border on over-kill, and if accurate also raises some copyright concerns.

Further to my and Mnb's previous posts, I am not convinced that Black has gained equality after Davies and Harding's suggested line: 4.d3 Nf6 5.0-0 Bc5 6.exf5 0-0 7.Be3 [Serious thought should also be given to 7.Nxe5!?] Nd4 8.c3 Nxf3+ 9.Qxf3 Be7 10.Nd2 c6 11.Ba4 d5 12.d4 e4 13.Qh3 g6 14.f3 reaching a position I consider better for White but requiring practical tests.

My issue is that it clogs up threads, rnedering them pretty unreadable. 

Most people have access to databases, so where's the utility in a database dump. If the added value is in the analysis, surely then as Alias says, there's an intellectual property issue.

I think the question is not if 4.d3 is the best move in the position - theortically it should be 4.Nc3. But after 4.Nc3 you may say "Welcome to the djungle!" as after 4.d3 white is on safe grounds and playing a += game. I tried both moves a lot in Internetblitz and 4.d3 is more successfull - and what happend in the world cup? Macieja beats Radjabov with the modest move avoiding all the tactical loads.

"To be (successfull) or not to be" counts OTB - theory is your analytical pet at home...

Quite a bit has happened since 1979.

I see advertised on Chessbase.com that Dennis Monokroussos has recently done one of his Playchess presentations on the Schliemann. It would be interesting to know which line he is advocating for White. Has anyone seen that presentation as yet and if so would you care to share.

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Nigel Davies says in Gambiteer II that 4.d3 lines are not a problem for black as many other writers have proclaimed. I haven't studied the recomended lines yet, but the idea is to avoid that white's queen arrives to c4, then black should wait to take on e4, I mean 4.d3 Nf6 5...Bc5 6...0-0. I'm really interested in learning the Schliemann which I think would be a good weapon at my level (2100).  

Pd. Markovich, if you ever read this,  what do you prefer for a new 1..e5 player 3...Bc5, or 3...f5 in the Spanish game? 



Total rubbish designed to sell chess books, clearly if black delays fxe4 too long White himself will play exf5 and be a pawn up for nothing. The only way this is playable for  black is if he gets to make two moves in a row as in your post where Black gets in move 5 and 6 for free and even then with the extra moves in he has barely equalised. 

Should White be allowed to make his equal quota of moves then 4...Nf6 is met by 5.0-0 and the dubious 5...Bc5?! with the pawn snatch 6.exf5 winning.

It is interesting that the 4.d3 line is recommended in both Kaufman and Greet's repertoire books - although I think they both take a different line to that employed by Macieja.

Kaufman goes for (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d3 fxe4 5.dxe4 Nf6 6.0-0 Bc5) 7.Qe2 while Greet claims that 7.Qd3 is more accurate - for reasons which I forget (I don't have either book to hand).

Incidentally, not sure of my chronology here, but I think the heading of the van der Tak piece may have been borrowing from Kaufman, who says something like, "Is the Schliemann ready for the museum?"

In NIC-Yearbook 73 Van der Tak wrote an article about 
1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 f5 4. d3 
Sending the Schliemann to the Museum

well 2004 Radjabov was probably too young to read it  Wink

He played this at monaco ( Melody Amber) a few times and in the 4 nc3 lines went fe 5 ne4 nf6. 

He seemed totally outplayed in this game - I wonder what he missed.

Radjabov's Jaenisch

At the World Cup today, Radjabov faced 1.e4 and rolled out... the Jaenisch?!  And promptly lost.  GM Grivas's annotations are at: 

http://www.chessbase.com/news/2007/games/grivas04.htm

I can't help wondering what Radjabov might have had in mind against the more critical lines following 4.Nc3.  Any ideas?  Nice idea and potential for surprise value.  I can only imagine that Macieja must have been a little surprised by move 3.
