June 2001 - What's New
|
Hi everyone! My thanks to Sue (presumably she knows who she is!) for such kind words about this site. I have adhered to her request of supplying an encounter in the ...Qa5 with Kb1 and h4 9 Bc4 Yugoslav Attack. We're talking 13...b5 without White grabbing the b-pawn and Narings-Pos, JUN01/01 investigates 14 g4. |
In the same variation with 13 Bg5 (after 12 Kb1) instead of 13 h4 there is an interesting novelty that Black needs to be aware of. Indeed Guseinov-Rajlich, JUN01/03 is a comfortable win for White.
Szieberth-Rajlich, JUN01/04 follows a main line 9 0-0-0 d5 with 10 Qe1 whilst the White win Bergez-Maitesian (wow I'm having a nightmare with names!), JUN01/05 scrutinises the irregular 9 h4.
Pigusov-Reinderman, JUN01/06 provides us with this month's Accelerated Dragon, this time involving 6 Nc2 and I also have for you a Hyper-Accelerated Dragon courtesy of another enthusiastic subscriber. I don't usually post games from the Internet Chess Club but how could I ignore the supplied encounter Kramniky-Yddet, JUN01/02?
Thanks for that too and I'll see you all next month.

Yugoslav 9 0-0-0
JUN01/04 The SMother of all bishops: Check out the possible mates at the end of this 9 0-0-0 d5 10 Qe1 encounter.
Yugoslav 9 Bc4
JUN01/01 The Net: Occasionally White has been known to obtain mate with two rooks down the h-file. Here there is a spot of revenge as Black gets his act together on the a-file.
JUN01/03 The Simple Bxf6: It's a bishop for a knight but when a favourable endgame can be reached, it's a serious threat.
Rare Yugoslavs
JUN01/05 A serious consideration?: 9 h4 in the Yugoslav Attack. Can White be serious? Well judging by the outcome of this game, perhaps he can.
Accelerated Dragon
JUN01/02 A Novelty on the ICC!: I'm a poet and don't I know it! A pawn sac out of the blue throws more doubt on a Semi-Accelerated Dragon variation.
JUN01/06 The Retreating Knight: Does this one key decision to withdraw the steed from its strong central post really cost Black the game?
