Kf2 I can't really explain it, maybe it's an attempt to c*** a snook at your opponent or lull him into a genuine sense of security. ——— Day After Chess Championship, Victor and Vanquished Reflect on the Match — One day after their title match in Sofia, Bulgaria, ended, Viswanathan Anand, the once and still chess champion, and Veselin Topalov were tired, but proud. In separate telephone interviews on Wednesday, Anand and Topalov expressed satisfaction with their own efforts and said it was the most intense chess match they had ever played. “This is my first world chess championship match that has gone the distance,” said Anand. Referring to his earlier title matches against Vladimir Kramnik in 2008, which he won, and Garry Kasparov in 1995, which he lost, he continued, “With Kramnik it went like a dream, with Kasparov it went the opposite way.” Topalov said, “Every single game was ...

E.g Anderssen's Opening 1.a3. In his match against Paul Morphy, Adolf Anderssen opened the first game with this debut: 1.a3 e5?! 2.c4, with a Reversed Sicilian. Anderssen went on to win the game, but then got hammered in the rest of the match. More weirdly, Tony Miles (playing Black) once responded to Anatoly Korpov's opening move by 1....a6, and went on to win that game! I've always been rather intrigued by Breyer's Gambit - a strange-looking offshoot of the King's Gambit. 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Qf3!? Capablanca once played it and won comprehensively (can't remember against whom, though). I recall reading an article and accompanying poem (rather a better effort than the usual kind of thing) in a British Chess Magazine about the King's Own Gambit, a.k.a. the Tumbleweed. 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Kf2. The thing is more playable than it looks. Finally, though probably most players know of it, few would dare play the opening I'm about to mention There was one Kiwi player out of Dunedin, apparently, who played it regularly, but, given his name, perhaps he could call it his own. Peter or Philip (can't recall which) Paris was the name; and 1.Nh3 is the Paris Opening. Do these qualify? Cheers, Ion ——— Anand Is World Chess Champion Again — Viswanathan Anand, the world chess champion, took advantage of a major error by Veselin Topalov to win the 12th and final game of their title match on Tuesday in Sofia, Bulgaria. The match had been tied at 5.5 points apiece. In addition to the title, Anand receives 1.2 million euros (about $1.5 million at current exchange rates). Topalov’s share of the prize fund is 800,000 euros, or about $1 million. Anand, an Indian grandmaster, became world chess champion by winning a tournament in Mexico City in 2007. He last defended the title in a match against Vladimir Kramnik, a Russian, in October 2008. Topalov, a Bulgarian, is a former world chess champion. He lost a bitter title match to ... Posted by lighttotheright | accuserveone.com 9/25/2008 22:07:20 Play online chess Message: The biggest problem I have with it is that Queens are likely to be traded early. That could make it drawish, even though White gains a slight initiative. Another problem I have with it is that the White's Queen lands on a good square that more rightfully belongs to the White knight. It might be good for a surprise weapon OTB; but you would need a pair of brass ones to use it in competition these days. As far as the Paris Opening is concerned, it is deceptive too but somewhat less sound. ——— Title Match Is Tied With One Game to Go in Regulation — There is one more regulation game left in the World Chess Championship match in Sofia, Bulgaria. If neither Viswanathan Anand of India, the titleholder, or Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, win on Tuesday, they will have to go to overtime. On Sunday, they drew Game 11. It was the seventh draw in the match, though, like some of the other draws, it was not without drama. Anand had White and opened with the English — the first time in the chess match he had done that. No doubt he switched openings to try to catch Topalov off-guard, but it did not work. The players followed well-known theory for 10 moves, and then Topalov deviated from earlier games, though it was a minor ...

But Anand could have made a mark in this game. Anand and Topalov go into the 12th game of their chess match today with scores level. If drawn, tie-break rapid games will be played on Thursday. Topalov's declaration before the match that he would neither offer nor accept a draw has clearly had a liberating effect on both players, resulting in one of the most entertaining world chess championship finals we have seen in years. All the games have been long and hard-fought, so it's hardly surprising that tiredness is affecting play. Anand missed several chances to win in game 9, Topalov had a promising endgame in game 10 but ...

They also hire trainers, who are called seconds, to help. It is a time- and labor-intensive process. That is one of the reasons that fans look forward to the chess matches. They want to see what the players will do and what new ideas they have discovered, particularly in the openings. The current world chess championship match between Viswanathan Anand of India, the titleholder, and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria has been as closely contested as predicted. But there have been no eye-opening innovations. Game ...

To what end? 7.Bxf7+ Kd7 8.Be6+ Kc6 9.Bxg4 ... White emerges with 2 pieces for the Q, a threatened fork, an active position, and the immediate threat to pick up the e-pawn. For certain types of player, that is quite sufficient to justify the sac! So much I can figure out - but I have to admit I've never seen the thing before! The Latvian can be fun, but it has I think been rather over-explored in some lines. Check out the recent ionadowman vs jstevens (accessible via the latter's profile and annotated game list). Interestingly enough, I've never seen in any chess primer, a proper treatment of how to combat the "Patzer Opening". Very occasionally it appears in Master chess, would you believe?! Although it is no trivial matter to meet, I quite like the standard 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 Nc6 3.Bc4 g6 4.Qf3 Nf6, with ...d6 and ...Bg7 to follow and a fine game for Black. But don't imagine that White has lost all that much by the Queen sortie: a tempo or two, nothing more, and certainly not fatal.

I'm not completely satisfied with the value of the gambit. Black can definitely take advantage of subtle mistakes by white, but I dunno... I never managed to find black's very best line. I've wanted to go through some of those old games (I think I played 97 of the 344 games on the database) and annotate a few of them. I dunno if I'll ever find the time to, though.

(The Great Snake Opening. The game sago vs ionadowman began this way; an epic 100-mover that I annotated some time ago) It's 'unusualness' is considerably mitigated by the fact that it is susceptible to considerable transposition. After half a dozen moves or so the thing looked fairly 'normal'. A couple of years ago I had a discussion with someone on GK about the Jerome Gambit. It's quite hard to meet if you don't know what you're doing...
