Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
Seeing the game Ed Trice Vs AlexII, what i understand is that it's really an experiment of Ed at an opening he discussed at CCC some weeks before. Playing King's Gambit, Muzio gambit is really a suicide in my eyes.
What i really can't understand is the 11.Be5? move that Ed played. He was a Knight and a Bishop down, and gave his most powerful piece. I think 11.Qe2 would be MUCH better for white that is in an already lost position.
