| Posted by lapsekili nikto.net 6/13/2008 13:23:22 Play online chess |  Subject: Traxler GambitMessage: 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Fc4 Nf6 4 Ag5 Fc5 5 Axf7 Fxf2 6 Kxf2 Axe4+ 7 Ke3 Qh4 Black has a great positional advantage and there are combinations that takes you to the victory.For example; 8.Nxh8 Qf4+ 9.Ke2 Qf2+ 10.Kd3 Ab4+ 11.Kxe4 Qf4# But if white plays 6.Kf1 instead of capturing the bishop,black's both rook and queen are under the attack.So,black loses his rook.And after this,how must black play to have a chance to have a positional advantage or take a piece? I thought about of it but couldnt solve the problem.I hope there are someone who can help me here. |

| Posted by ionadowman nikto.net 6/13/2008 22:32:15 Play online chess | Two points... Message: w If 7.Ke3 Qh4 8.Qf3 Ng5! (if 8...Nc4 9.Nxh8 is playable) 9.Nxg5 Qxg5+ 10.Kd3 d5 11.Bxd5 Bf5+ 12.Kc3 Nd4 13.d3 Qe7 "with as immensely strong attack..." (Estrin). The g1-retreat might well be good enough for the draw, though White will be on the rack for a long time to come. 2. The effect of 6.Kf1 is to prevent Black's gaining a tempo with the knight-check on e4. Black has, perforce, to make a quiet move 6...Qe2 whereat White takes the rook. But then 7...d5 and Bl;ack gets a dangerous attack: w A sample line runs 8.exd5 Nd4 9.Kxf2? Bg4 10.Qf1 Ne4+ 11.Kg1 Ne2+ and Black wins (12.Bxe2 Qc5+ etc). The Traxler - indeed just about the whole Two Knights' Defence family - is one of the richest and most fascinating opening lines of play Chess has to show. Pity about the Ruy Lopez... Cheers, Ion |
| Posted by lapsekili nikto.net 6/14/2008 05:23:40 Play online chess | thank you Message: "1. If White takes the f2-bishop, then after 6...Nxe4+ 7.Kg1 is (according the Estrin) the best move" you said like that but now how must black go on not to lose advantage? |
| Posted by ionadowman nikto.net 6/14/2008 16:07:59 Play online chess | 7.Kg1 Message: The main line (bearing in mind the theory I have available is 30 years old!) goes: 7.Kg1 Qh4 8.g3 (8.Qf1?) 8...Nxg3 9.Nxh8 (for the consequences of 9.hxg3, see infra) 9...d5 (9...Nd4; 9...Ne4?; 9...Nxa1?!) 10.Qf3 Qd4+ 11.Kg2 Nf5 12.c3 Qxc4 13.d3 Qh4 14.Qxd5 (14.Rg1!?) 14...Ne3+ 15.Bxe3 Ba3+ and Black has no more than a perpetual. Note that both sides can deviate quite a bit, so there may be buried in all this some decisive resource for Black - or White. Back to the 9.axg3 line, here's a game played by correspondence between the readers of a Soviet schoolboys' daily paper and Mikhail Tal: White: "Pionierskaya Pravda" Black: M. Tal 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5 5.Nxf7 Bxf2+ 6.Kxf2 Nxe4+ 7.Kg1 Qh4 8.g3 Nxg3 w 9.hxg3 Qxg3+ 10.Kf1 Rf8 11.Qh5 d5(!) 12.Bxd5 Nd4!? (Apparently 12...Nb4! is better, using the attack on the bishop further to develop Black's game and force exchanges whilst retaining the pressure on White's game) 13.Qh2 Qg4 14.Qxe5+ Be6 15.Bxe6 Qf3+ 16.Kg1 Ne2+ 17.Kh2 Qf2+ 18.Kh3 Qf3+ 19.Kh4 Qf2+ (19...Qxh1+?? 20.Bh3+ Kxf7 21.Qe6#) At this point, White could secure the draw by bringing the K back to h3, and a perpetual. But the lads hoped to make something of their material plus... 20.Kh5? Rxf7 21.Bxf7++ Kxf7 22.Rh2 Qf3+ 23.Kh4 g5+! 24.Qxg5 Rg8 25.Qh5+ Qxh5+ 26.Kxh5 ... At this point, b Black forced the draw by... 26...Ng3+ 27.Kh6 Nf5+ 28.Kxh7 Rg7+ and a perpetual. But from the diagram position, a Moscow schoolboy found that Black could have forced a win - a checkmate - even with such scanty material available. See if you can find it! Cheers, Ion |

(The key. White has no answer to the coming ...Rg6#). Neat, eh? Cheers, Ion |

Chess news: A White Day at the Women’s Chess Grand Prix -- Everyone knows that playing White is an advantage in chess (though curiously it was not during the last round of the King’s Tournament in Romania that ended Friday; then Black won all the games). But, the results of Round 6 of the Women’s Chess Grand Prix in Jermuk, Russia, were still startling. White won every game. It was the second time in the first six rounds of the chess tournament that every game had ended decisively. Over all, only 8 of the 36 games in the tournament have ended in draws, an astonishingly low percentage. After six rounds, Nana Dzagnidze of the Republic of Georgia leads with 5.5 points, a point ahead of Lilit Mkrtchian of Armenia. Tatiana Kosintseva of Russia is ... A Race for Second at the Grand Prix -- With four rounds left in the Fourth Women’s Chess Grand Prix in Jermuk, Russia, time is rapidly running out for anyone to try to overtake Nana Dzagnidze of the Republic of Georgia for first place. She leads by 1.5 points over Lilit Mkrtchian of Armenia and Tatiana Kosintseva of Russia. She still has to play Mkrtchian and Hou Yifan of China, the chess tournament’s top seed, who is currently in fourth, so there is still a chance she might be caught. But her form so far has been superb as she has only yielded one draw in seven rounds. So the rest of the tournament may be a race for second. The Grand Prix is a series of six tournaments organized by the World Chess Federation. The winner will ... Magnus Carlsen closes in on Garry Kasparov's record chess rating -- Magnus Carlsen is closing in fast on Garry Kasparov's all-time record chess rating. The 19-year-old Norwegian scored an unbeaten 7.5/10 at Medias, Romania to take his score on the daily calculations up to 2826, just 25 points shy of the great Russian's peak mark. And Carlsen did it while still not in optimum form. He began with two draws, then took risks including a 1 e4 e5 2 f4 King's Gambit and a couple of dubious positions, but his inventiveness and will to win coupled with the growing Carlsen-fear of those on the other side of the chess board ensured another impressive outcome. Technically his most interesting game, certainly from the practical viewpoint of competition ... | |
