Posted by kansaspatzer www6conf.org 6/12/2008 13:48:07 play online chess	Subject: The X-Rated Albin Counter-Gambit Message: This article by Andrew Martin, which Martin admits himself is propaganda in favor of the opening, inspired me to buy Martin's DVD on the opening. I know it's probably not sound, but it really is a fun opening. And it was used successfully by no lesser of a player than Lasker. www.jeremysilman.com
Posted by lapsekili www6conf.org 6/14/2008 07:46:05 play online chess	thanks Message: really interesting opening even though some moves look funny but then you understand they have a purpose.
Posted by sf115 www6conf.org 6/14/2008 14:48:56 play online chess	Message: After 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5 what does black do if white doesn't play dxe5.?
Posted by ccmcacollister www6conf.org 6/14/2008 15:29:15 play online chess	sf115 Message: Probably equalize on move 3, since bl has been permitted to play a move he should not have been able to get in without penalty... I love the Albin on both sides. It just feels like one of those openings one could spend a lifetime playing and studying and never lose interest :)
Posted by ionadowman www6conf.org 6/14/2008 16:38:05 play online chess	A very pawnographic debut... Message: ... I can think of worse ways of getting your jollies! I never knew the line was so replete with possibilities. Must try it some time... Cheers, Ion

Message: Take it for granted that a bad word has been said which does not show up on the screen.... for I saw a real interesting Albin annotation and been awhile, Ive forgotten exactly where. I think it was on Silman's site. Anyone been to it?
Posted by bogg www6conf.org 10/15/2008 02:20:50 play online chess	It can't be all that bad. Message: Morozevich has been winning with the Albin. CTC (Bogg)
Posted by ccmcacollister www6conf.org 10/15/2008 04:20:45 play online chess	and .... Message: Morozevich IS my Hero~! I think probably the highest rated player I have seen be as adventurously innovative & into new ideas that can be really far out ...but they generally work out, tho maybe walking a fine line. Perhaps its just that on one else understands or expects them~? For eg getting hit with an Albin Counter-gambit. But really looking back, even Max Euwe, despite his win against it, can't say it didnt give him a thinking game. Thanks bogg, I'll have to look at some of those Moro's!
Posted by schnarre www6conf.org 10/28/2008 01:43:11 play online chess	if not dxe5 Message: then Black has a number of options: if 3. Nc3 then ...exd4, 4. Qxd4 Nc6, 5. Qxd5 Be6! leaves Black in good stead. Another option for Black is ...Nc6, clamping down on the central squares.
Posted by jstevens1 www6conf.org 10/28/2008 14:16:41 play online chess	I have an Albin Game for you all! Message: Hi everyone, just to let you know that I have publicly annotated a draw game between me and a buddy called rjacobs. That one started as an Albin. Cheers. Joanne
Chess news: The Great Chess Doping Scandal -- Chess Grandmaster Vassily Ivanchuk refused to submit a urine sample for a drug test at the Chess Olympiad in Dresden and is now considered guilty of doping. The world of chess is outraged that he could face a two-year ban. Professional chess player Vassily Ivanchuk, born in Berezhany, Ukraine in 1969, has been a grandmaster for the past 20 years and is currently ranked third in the world. The man with black hair and bedroom eyes is known as "Big Chucky" by his fellow chess players. Why? Because, after losing a game, he goes into the forest at night and howls at the moon to drive out the demons. Because he walks around in shorts in freezing temperatures. Because he likes to ... Magnus Carlsen quits Grand Prix -- The World Chess Federation (FIDE) plans to begin the third tournament of its Grand Prix series today in Elista, Russia. The first two Grand Prix tournaments were unqualified successes, featuring exciting chess battles between many of the world's top 20 grandmasters. The forecast for the rest of the series is less rosy. When organizers of Grand Prix chess events in Qatar and Switzerland backed out, FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov moved the Qatar tournament to his hometown of Elista and announced that Armenia would host a chess tournament. But FIDE also changed the rules, making the Grand Prix leader merely one of eight contenders in a tournament that ... Chess, by Lubomir Kavalek -- The defending chess champion, the Dallas Destiny, won the 2008 United States Chess League, a 14-team Internet competition that ended this month. Dallas's final match against the Boston Blitz was tied 2-2, but IM Davorin Kuljasevic won the title for Dallas, defeating former U.S. chess champion Larry Christiansen in the last game of the blitz tiebreak. An Attacking Gem. Before the match went into the tiebreak, Christiansen smashed IM Marko Zivanic with a powerful attack, most likely to be the best game of the competition. It matters to the Boston grandmaster how he wins. He created many beautiful combinations and spectacular sacrifices during his successful ...
