Chicago Bulls: Yes, another match with Deep Blue would have been good publicity for chess. Unfortunately IBM did not have anything to gain by it as the win they had was already worth millions in publicity. Kasparov's accusations of cheating and his general behavior after the 2nd game in the 2nd match also did not help his cause for bringing about another match. "Trash talk" has its place in sporting events and can help generate interest in boxing and other types of sports, but when dealing with corporate types there are different rules. Kasparov and other top chess players haven't always caught onto those rules and they now suffer for the lack of reliable corporate sponsorship in chess events. One big consequence is having to put up with the Kirsan and many of his reforms!

Yes i would like to see Kasparov's revenge against Kramnik but also i would be thrilled to see these old days (1997-1998), the revenge against Deep Blue after his tragic loss....

Chicago Bulls: Poor Anderssen didn't have much luck with the Spanish game either just getting a draw and a loss with it in his other two whites. Actually 1.a3 could have been a success if he had followed up his opening advantages better. Morphy did not handle the closed positions very well that arose out of this reversed Sicilian. Beim's books "Paul Morphy a Modern Perspective" gives some interesting analysis on these games. Anderssen should probably have won the 6th match game that he lost with 1.a3, but a lack of practice and the speed of the play did not help his chess in that match.

It is too bad that Morphy did not give Anderssen a rematch or play Kolisch a couple of years later. Unfortunately we chess players have missed out on a number of interesting matches, because of players losing interest in the game or refusing to play worthy contenders in the good old days before FIDE or after if for that matter! If we count Kramnik's refusal to play Kasparov before the latter retired from chess.

Correct! There is no reason Anderssen(and not Andersen) to want to play "black moves" when he had white, since in that match he lost all his games as black against Morphy except one. So there was no reason to want to play black lines....
Also with 1.a3 he succeeded an equal result of 1 win, 1 lose and 1 draw that is 50% while against Morphy in the same match when he tried other opening he had 75%(1 win, 1 draw) so we can't consider 1.a3 a success for him.....
Also Anderssen may tried 1.a3 because he may liked to play a kind of reversed Sicilian Defense after 1...e5 Who knows what he had in mind?!?!
The best responses i know are 1...Nf6! 1...g6 and 1...d5 but 1...e5 is playable too.....

Actually Andersen would most likely have played 2. c2-c4 as he did in his match with Morphy three times in 1858! Hugh Myers would have liked an e4 follow up more likely and he wrote something about it in a couple of his books. I think he called it something like Mangarini's Opening, but my spelling may be off on that.

I think, because I am one of the players I have right to say something about this game.

This game is played, well, there was intention to play it, as a tournament game in fellowship. In this tourney prize were offered and because friendly atmosphere in fellowship no time limit were choosen. Backgammon tournament were finished after couple of week and chess wont be finished ever (Prize was removed and another tourney were set). As a club player I know opponent shouldnt be asked to move. But after careful deliberation I did it after first month w/o move and second time after 2 month w/o move. In both cases I received message "OK, I will play soon, I have no time". My opponent only use weaknesses of the system to his favour. Its not right behaviour, I think, but it is his right. But it is good to know, when I will lie in cold tomb, I will still play chess game on BK

Regarding the "lightning fast play when he wins", well, if you think about it, it is better for the person losing if the soon-to-be-winner plays the game faster. (This also goes into effect when a player that is losing resigns a game.) Do the math for a lose and then a win, and a win and then a lose. With the way BK does its ratings you will end up higher if you count the lose first and the win second in comparison to the win and then a lose. Interesting! He is actually doing you a favor in playing those games he is going to win faster. :-) This is a good thing for anyone that may be concerned about their ratings. I am! ...well not really... afterall, I think we are forgetting the point of sites like this, to have fun playing games!

mctrivia: He's here every day, and definitely more than 3 hours a day. He's got plenty of time to move but for some reason, he delays his moves almost to the last second. He [modified - WQ]uses the vacation system in order to have for instance 12 days for a 7-day-per-move game. However, you wouldn't believe how fast he is in making moves when it's clear he's going to win a particular game. Lightning is a snail.

WhisperzQ: Do you mind a small correction of your translation? En passant means 'in passing." I pass you would be "Je te passe." And we should point out to new players that capturing "en passant" is unusual in chess because it must be done immediately after the opposing pawn completes its move- otherwise the chance to capture that pawn "en passant" is lost. Thanks!

HalfPawn: I think 3.Nc3 is a better move. After 2...Bf5, the white player can attack the squares "d5" and "b7" with Nc3 and Qb3 so it´s not a good defense for the black.

HalfPawn: 1. Making a bad move to take your opponent out of the book doesn't work in correspondence chess.
2. It's not out of the books anyway.
3. 3. cd isn't even the best reply. Kasparov recommends 3. Nf3.

3. cxd5 definitely doesn't deserve any ?! marks. While you are giving up all your good pieces, white can ignore the a2 pawn and get 3 or 4 pieces developed before anything but the black queen is out. Even better than the real Queens Gambit.

5. e3 Qxa2 6. Bd2 followed by Rc1 is great. Even if black doesn't chase after the pawns, white gets a good position and the two bishops. Something like 5. e3 e6 6. Bd2 Nf6 7. Rc1 Bd6 8. Nf3 O-O 9. Bc4

5...e5 6. Ne2 seems to work out well for White but it looks like Black's best option to me.

Onderwerp: Re: 2...Bf5
HalfPawn:The reason this is bad for black is that after 4. cd, white has a flexible center and two pawns against one in the center. Best, I think, is 2...c3, where 3. cd cd equalizes and where black often can safely play Bf5. Most common though is 2...e3.

20. april 2006, 04:26:29
bengood24 
1. d4 d5 2. c4 Bf5 3. cxd5 Nf6 (3...Qxd5 4. Nc3 is much better for White) 4. Nc3 should be better for White since at some point he will get e4 in. 3. Qb3 may be even better than that.

In other words, no it's not a good counter.
