| Posted by marinvukusic goclub.org 4/22/2008 01:50:50 play online chess | tim_b Message: There are only 2 pages of analysis, since it is a rare move. White should probably play "main" variation: 6.d4, Qe7; 7.0-0, Nf6; 8.Nbd2, 0-0; 9.Bd3 with some advantage. In any case the move is good enough for Black players that fear White's preparation (no need to learn a lot of theory and White's advantage is small). I have never seen it played since obviously only White players buy books on the Evans and it does look too dangerous to improvise with 5...Bd6 :) |

Chess news: The evolution of chess -- "The trail of chess leads back to about A.D. 500. There we strike a barrier behind which research has not penetrated." — A Short History of Chess, by Henry Davidson. Nobody knows who invented chess. All we know is that during the sixth century, inhabitants of India were playing chaturanga, a precursor of the modern game of chess. One legend has it that Adam invented the game to console himself for the loss of his son Abel. Another has it that a Buddhist priest invented it as a bloodless substitute for war. Yet probably chess grew as music and poetry grew, gradually adding one beauty after another. For centuries the chess rules were modified. Initially, the pawn could only advance one square, instead of two, on its first move. The current law on promoting a pawn when ... Telegraph chess: Revenge is sweet -- Sixteen year old Magnus Carlsen shares the lead of the Corus Wijk aan Zee Chess Festival with Levon Aronian as both chess players won for the second time to maintain a perfect score. Vishy Anand, Vladimir Kramnik and Veselin Topalov have yet to win a game between them and Teimour Radjabov, another member of the younger generation is the only chess player on 1.5/2. For the second time in a row Teimour Radjabov’s King’s Indian withstood the ultimate test as Kramnik tried for 79 moves, unsuccessfully, to exploit an extra pawn. Michael Adams held on against Peter Leko after choosing to enter an endgame with queen and three kingside pawns against queen and four kingside pawns. Adams checked the white king all over the board and by move 99 Leko had ... Telegraph chess: A clash of bishops -- The curse of the opposite coloured bishops struck in the third round of Group A at the Corus Wijk aan Zee Chess Festival. All seven games were drawn and four ended in endgames with opposite coloured bishops and there was no point continuing. Opposite bishops produce drawish endgames because the bishops can easily blockade enemy passed pawns as the opposing bishop cannot lend support. They can also defend their own pawns easily and be of little offensive use if the opponent’s pawns are on the opposite coloured square. Even if one side is a pawn or sometimes two pawns to the good the game cannot be won and there are even some positions with three extra pawns where a blockade can be set up. There was only one very long game as Teimour Radjabov had to cling on ... | |
