For anyone wondering why BL did not play 7...Ne4 to play against the pin on c3; I imagine it was because in doing so WT could easily make him trade off that Knight (EG 8.Bd2 or the gambit 8.o-o!?) which was already the only piece he had to act as defender of his King side. Indeed the position resulting after elimination of that knight is a classic attacking position for WT, with sacrifice potential as well, if BL were to o-o into it. [If you haven't seen it before or very similar, then this definitely is one to learn.] and the thought of becoming K-stranded in the center must have occurred to him. The trouble is tho, 7...Bxc3 is not much better. BL is still short of effective K-side defenders. I liked the way you did not allow him to divert you from the attack when he offered you a pawn on e4 to BxNe4/ fxBe4 Qxe4, but instead made the en passant capture, saving the tempo you needed to play Ba3 next. [Another classic attack position!] I think that move locked in the win; and the Cross-X Mate with Bishops aor Q was nicely done. We don't get to see many of those in actual play ... Congratulations on your miniature~! Regards, Craig A.C. }8-) |

Chess news: Barden on chess -- India's Vishy Anand and his Russian challenger Vlad Kramnik meet this afternoon in Bonn in game four of their 12-game, €1.5m world title chess match. The eagerly awaited showdown has lost some of its gloss due to Kramnik's mediocre results at Dortmund and Moscow and Anand's recent disastrous last place in Bilbao. In consequence they are currently Nos 5 and 6 in the world chess rankings. I can not recall a previous world title match (except for Fide's knock-outs) where neither chess player was in the top two. Basically the result is too close to call and could be effectively decided if in one game either side can unleash a computer-prepared chess opening bomb. Expert opinion is ... Anand wins 3rd game of world chess match -- Defending chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India scored the first victory in his title match against Russian Vladimir Kramnik with a third game that saw both chess players take off the gloves and go at each other with gusto. After a dull draw in game one and a complex but civilized draw in game two, the two engaged in play they described as "complicated," but that description hardly catches the flavor of Friday's game. Anand, playing with Black, opted for the super-sharp Meran Variation of the Semi-Slav Defense, which Kramnik avoided in game one. Anand's 14th move, a bishop to b7, was a novelty at this level of play. Afterward, Kramnik said, "I have my doubts about it but ... Anand, Kramnik draw in 4th game of chess match -- Defending chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India played to a 29-move draw with Russian challenger Vladimir Kramnik on Saturday in the fourth game of their world chess championship match. Anand leads the 12-game match 2.5-1.5. He won the third game in spectacular style on Friday after the two men drew their opening games. Saturday's draw was a tame affair in comparison with the previous day's game. Anand had the white pieces and the opening was the solid Queen's Gambit Declined. As often happens in this chess opening, Black wound up with an isolated d-pawn and White had only the slightest chance of an advantage. Kramnik summed the opening up after ... | |
